Slightly curious, Ruka asked, “Did he ever have any problems with his heart?” “No. Sir has always
been healthy. 1 assumed that it was because he was agitated over something today. Ever since you
left the conference room back then, the colors on his face didn’t look so good.” Saying that, Elijah had
an emphatic gaze on Ruka.
Ruka’s breathing became slightly irregular as she thought, Does this mean the reason that man is like
this was because of me? Did my words agitate him?
“Miss Singed, you saw just how obstinate Sir was just now. If you don’t persuade him, he’ll definitely be
going back home tonight. For the sake of his health, can you please restrain your anger at him for
now?”
It’s not like I wanted this to happen either! She sighed inwardly. “Then I’ll persuade him to stay in the
hospital.” She nodded. “It’s best if you can stay here and take care of him as well, Miss Singed,” Elijah
suggested.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time, Ruka sighed outwardly, albeit faintly. “Fine, I’ll do it.”
At that. Elijah became secretly relieved. Since he had come to the assumption that Ren’s heart
condition was related to Ruka, he had decided that the best way to cure him was to prescribe the right
treatment for him, namely spending time with Ruka.

with a tired expression. “You should stay in the hospital. I’ll stay and take care of you,” she said while
standing behind the man.
“Weren’t you going to your friend’s place?” Ren tilted his head slightly at her. revealing just how
beautiful his side profile was, as the features of his face were well defined.
Ruka replied in a helpless tone, “Your illness is much more important.”
Then, Ren turned his full attention to her with his deep gaze locked onto Ruka’s small face in an
attempt to see if she was really willing to stay and take care of him.
As Ruka met the man’s gaze, she felt as though she was looking at the eyes of a spoiled brat rather
than that of a mature man. “Alright, I’ll stay.” Ren finally stopped throwing his temper and demanding to
go home.
As Elijah had arranged dinner for the two of them, both Ruka and Ren sat by the window and helped

tear up my homework, but you would even snatch my pen away from me. When you couldn’t get what
you wanted, you’d even start crying out loud. You were like a small little tyrant back in the day.” Ren
reminisced about the past.
