Chapter 490
The eldest son of the York family had never suffered from such a painful pinch in his life.
It hurt!
“Is Nana up?” Serenity asked as she turned over to get out of bed.
She wanted to slip back into her room before Grandma May woke up.
“She‘s up.”
“So early?”
Serenity, who was ready to run, stopped in her tracks. “Nana will see me if I go out like this.”
“We‘re husband and wife.”
Zachary did not like her sneaking around.
Serenity grinned. “You‘re right, we‘re husband and wife. There‘s nothing to hide. Nana will only be happy if she sees us like this. She knows that we‘ve been sleeping in separate rooms since we got married and has always urged me to do all sorts of things to you.”
Zachary looked at her without a word.

“How did you catch a cold? Did you dress for fashion instead of warmth? It‘s raining today and it feels like winter. Wear a few more layers. The store belongs to us, so it‘s only natural for me to watch it. Please don‘t stand on ceremony with me.
“Quickly get yourself to the hospital. Don‘t drive and ask your brother to send you there.”
Jasmine hummed in response. “My mom will take me to the hospital, so I won‘t bother my brother. I‘ll go see the doctor first.”
“Okay, take care.”
“You too. Wear more layers.”
After exhorting each other, Jasmine hung up first.
She could not go to the store today, so Serenity could not dally as usual. She changed her clothes as fast as she could and washed up.
Then, she took the purse she always carried and went out.
“Nana and Zachary, I‘ll go to the store first. I‘ll bring breakfast there to eat.”
In one swift series of motions, she walked to the table, picked up her portion of breakfast, stuffed it into her bag, and left.
“Wait, Serenity.” Zachary called out to her.
