Chapter 272: Spicy
Zach was sleeping soundly and was awakened by Keira’s patting his shoulder. He asked in a sluggish voice, "Hmm? What is it? You need anything?"
He lazily raised his body up to sit and looked at Keira with blinking eyes.
Keira bit her lip as she said, "I want to eat something spicy..."
Zach looked at the clock on the wall. It was past 1:00 in the morning. "Something spicy at this hour?" Zach repeated what Keira said, and the latter nodded.
"Okay, do you want anything in particular? A meat dish? Seafood?" Keira looked at him blankly as she shook her head. She wanted to eat something spicy, but she did not know what.
"Alright, wait here. I’ll go bring you some spicy food..." Zach kissed her forehead and quickly stood up. He went out of the hospital to check a nearby restaurant that was open twenty-four hours.
He was reminded of what Jeru had told him, ’Listen, Zach. Pregnant women usually don’t know what exactly they’re craving for. Often, they could only tell you of the taste that they want. Either something sweet, sour, or spicy. Thea always said she wanted something sweet, and I just bought her every sweet stuff that I could find. So, if Keira says she wants something like that but can’t name anything in particular, you just have to make sure to buy a variety of stuff which she could choose from. That way, in case she didn’t like the one thing that you bought, you would not have to tire yourself of having to go out and buy another one.’
So following Jeru’s advice, what Zach did was, he bought all the spicy dishes that the restaurant had to offer. Spicy seafood dish, spicy soup, spicy meat dish, spicy noodles dish, spicy chicken dish, even some spicy snacks.
Keira gawked at what she saw when Zach entered their room. "This is too many! I can’t eat them all!" Keira blurted as she inspected all the things that her husband had bought. Her face cringed when she saw there was even spicy chicken feet.
