Chapter 3

After the examination, Josephine asked for the doctors to leave.

However, Zayn was still worried and suggested, "Why don't you just let them stay here with you until you're all better?"

"That's right, Mrs. Forbes. You're so lucky to have found a husband like Mr. Forbes. We're so envious of you!"

Josephine forced a smile. "Yes. I am indeed lucky to have a husband like him."

With that, she insisted that they leave and assured that she was already feeling better. Zayn couldn't win against her and eventually relented.

As he was seeing them off, Josephine's phone rang once again.

It was a call from Nadine.

"Mrs. Forbes, are you feeling better? The doctors have arrived, right? I kept telling Zayn that I was fine, but he was still worried and insisted that the doctors monitor me overnight. I'm really sorry for causing the delay..." Before Nadine could finish her sentence, Josephine hung up.

"Honey, who's calling you?"

Zayn asked as he walked in with a bowl of soup.

"This is some chicken soup I had the housekeepers specially prepare for you. Here, open up."

Josephine opened her mouth, but perhaps it was because she wasn't feeling well or because she was disgusted by Zayn's overly affectionate behavior, she suddenly felt nauseous and gagged.

Zayn quickly set the soup down and grabbed a bin. He gently patted her back and grumbled angrily, "Those useless doctors! They can't even treat a simple cold. I'll make sure to teach them a lesson later on." He then grabbed a cup of water and said, "Here, drink some."

Just then, Zayn's phone rang.

He didn't answer it and immediately declined the call.

"No one can make me leave your side today. I'm going to stay home to take care of you."

However, the person who called seemed to be persistent. When he didn't answer, the caller continued calling non-stop.

"Go take the call outside. Let me have some peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Zayn handed her the cup of water and reminded, "Be careful. Don't burn yourself."

With that, he left the bedroom.
