Chapter 665
Josh looked solemn. 'Zachary has always been as fit as a fiddle though. I don't think he has the flu and fever. Take it easy. I'll contact someone to drive him to the hospital and make travel arrangements for you to get there. Pack up. You can leave in half an hour."
Now that Zachary was ill and Serenity was worried sick, it was the perfect chance for the couple to bond.
While feeling concerned about Zachary's well-being, Josh secretly moaned about Zachary's timing to be sick.
'Thank you, Mr. Bucham."
Serenity was grateful for Josh's help to get her to Zachary.
Josh uttered in a gentle voice, 'Zachary is my colleague. I'm worried that he's sick, and he can be stubborn. He won't say a word when he's sick. The bosses and I will feel better if you head there and take care of him.

"Sure."
After the phone call, Serenity got up and picked up the bag with two sets of fresh clothes. Mrs. Lane had delivered the bag to her because Serenity intended to stay at her aunt’s place for the next two days. She had not unpacked, so this suited her perfectly. There was no further packing required.
Ring, ring, ring...
Serenity's phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, she realized it was her best friend.
Serenity took the call.
"Ms. Hunt, you must be at the Stones' residence. You can get their chauffeur to drive you to the Buchams' residence. I've informed my brother to have a private jet ready for you. It'll be faster that way."
Zachary had a private plane, but he took it for his business trip. The plane was not presently in Wiltspoon.
Even if the plane was available in Wiltspoon, it would not be the best time to use the Yorks' private plane to fly her there.
All Josh had to do was inform his brother to use the family plane.
His brother owned several of those anyway.
Serenity appreciated the gesture.
Josh went so far as to get a private plane just to fly her there.
It was no wonder Zachary hung on tight to Josh's friendship. Friends in high places did come with a lot of perks.
Once the phone call ended, Serenity grabbed her bag of clothes and hurried out of the room.

'Where are you going, Serenity?"
Serenity was getting a move on when she stumbled upon Clive and his wife who were coming out of their bedroom.
"Clive, Alice, my husband's fallen ill. I need to see him. He might have passed out. Mr. Bucham can arrange a private jet to fly me there. Clive, can you arrange a car for me to get to the Buchams' residence? Mr. Bucham told me to wait at his family residence."
Looking serious, Clive asked with concern, 'What did your husband catch?"
It was severe to the point that Zachary fainted.
Did Zachary catch something serious that came suddenly?
Clive and Zachary were not on the best of terms and were always at each other's throats, but they would be concerned if one of them was sick. They did not wish death upon their rivals.
If Zachary were to pop off, Clive would be without a rival and feel lonely; likewise for Zachary if Clive were to kick the bucket.
"He has a nasty cold. I noticed he was in bad shape when I was on video chat with him this afternoon. I told him to get a doctor's appointment, but he wouldn't listen. He had gotten some medication from the pharmacy, but it didn't work. In fact, his flu’s getting worse. I don't know whether he's out cold, but he didn’t respond to me when I called and texted him. Halfway through the video call, he said he couldn't hold out much longer and cut the line."
Clive was speechless at first but soon expressed understanding.
In the past, Clive would get the family doctor to prescribe him medicine if he caught a cold. Most of the time, Clive thought nothing of his illness and would simply put up with it for a few days.
With Alice around now, everything changed for the better. Alice would be nervous every time he sneezed. She would conjure some home remedies and alternative medicine for him.
