The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1598

Sophia then said, "Well, you don’t need to move then if you're already lying down. I'll ask the hotel staff for a key and bring in the medication for you. The sooner you eat it, the better." She then proceeded to leave.

"Wait," Zachary called out to her.

Sophia stopped and asked, "Yes, Zachary?"

Zachary replied, "Don't trouble the hotel staff for a key. I'm already getting dressed. I'll open the door for you once I'm done."

Sophia responded, "Are you out of bed already? Be careful, okay."

Zachary exchanged glances with Corinne, and she wordlessly broke free from his embrace. Corinne stood up, opened the balcony door, and left.

After Zachary closed the balcony door, he moved over to tidy up the sheets before undoing two of his shirt buttons. He then went to open the door for Sophia.

Sophia scanned the room instinctively after she entered. Something seemed to be amiss, but she was somehow unable to pinpoint what it was.

Zachary saw her glancing around and asked, "Where's the medicine?"

Sophia looked at Zachary and was no longer suspicious after noticing the two unfastened buttons on his shirt. She handed him the pillbox and said, "This is it. Take two pills twice a day."

Zachary accepted it calmly and repeated her instructions. "Two pills twice a day. Got it."

Sophia reached out to touch his forehead. "Your fever seems to have subsided a bit. It'll improve even more if you take the medication now. I'll get you a glass of water!" She then turned around and went to fetch a glass of water.

Zachary looked at the medicine with a frown. He was perfectly healthy, so there was no need for him to take the medicine. Sophia had persuaded him into taking numerous different medications over the years, claiming that they would help aid his physical recovery. However, he could feel his legs grow weaker with every new medicine he consumed, so he stopped taking them.

"That's good."

Sophia wanted to stay with Zachary because she had finally been able to get 'Benjamin' out of the way that day. She intended to seize the opportunity to spend time with Zachary, even if it meant having to care for him while he was sick.

When Zachary saw that Sophia was still there, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you still here? I've already taken my medicine."

Sophia came to her senses and said, "I don't have to spend that much time with my father, Zachary."

Zachary frowned and said, "That is for him to decide, not you. You're his daughter, so it's your duty to be with him. You ought to spend as much time with him as possible at least for today; it is his first day here. Don't worry about me. Spend some more time with him on my behalf, too."

Sophia could not argue with him because everything he said made perfect sense. She did not want to upset him, so she turned and left the room again.
