When Love Breaks Novel Josephine And Zayne

Chapter 2

"What's wrong, honey? Are you cold?"

Zayn was quick to notice her subtle reaction.

He leaned in and pressed his forehead against hers to check her temperature.

"You seem to be down with a fever."

A fever?

Josephine had a slight headache, but she simply assumed that it was due to mental exhaustion and didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that Zayn pointed it out, she realized that it was likely due to spending too much time at the seaside and being exposed to the chilly breeze.

Before she could respond, Zayn was already on the phone with his assistant, Shawn Middleton.

"Shawn, call the specialists from last time and have them come over immediately. Josephine seems to have caught a cold again."

Upon ending the call, he immediately carried her to the bed and said gently, "Honey, just lie down for a bit. I'll have the housekeepers bring some food for you."

He kissed her gently and was about to make his way downstairs when his phone rang again.

Upon seeing the caller ID, his expression stiffened.

"Just give me a second. I'll be right back," Zayn said as he shut the door gently behind him.

After a while, the housekeepers brought the food in, but Zayn was nowhere to be seen. Josephine didn't bother to ask.

"Mrs. Forbes, Mr. Forbes has asked me to tell you that there's an urgent matter at the company that he needs to attend to."

"I see. Just leave the food on the table."

"Yes, Mrs. Forbes," the housekeeper replied and headed back downstairs.

Shortly after, Josephine received a message from Zayn.

It read, "Honey, there's an urgent matter at the company, so I can't make it home to feed you.

"Also, the specialists just called and said that they are in the middle of treating a critical patient and won't be able to come until tomorrow morning. But don't worry, I've already asked the housekeepers to get some medicine for you. Promise you'll take it, okay?" This was how Zayn always acted. While he wasn't by her side, he would always make sure to show he cared for her.

As expected, the housekeeper soon returned with the medicine.
