Ruka’s heart went out to him. All she could do at the moment was stay with him and tend to his needs
at his hour of need. Ren was asleep for three hours. Eventually, he felt someone holding his hand, and
he opened his eyes to see who it was.
When he saw Ruka staring at him in joy with tears in her eyes, he woke up right away. What? Why is
she here? Who brought her here?
“You’re awake!” She was staring at him this whole time. The moment his eyelashes fluttered, she stood
up and stared down at him. He touched her cheek. Her eyes are puffy. He said raspily, “Don’t cry,
Ruka.”
Ruka wiped her tears away. She denied, “I wasn’t crying. Don’t worry about me.”
He smiled. Elijah still did it in the end. Still, it’s nice to see her here. “Don’t cry. Since you’re here, you
gotta stay happy,” he said raspily. It was like hearing someone talk with sand in their throat, but Ruka

She leaned down and kissed his forehead. “I’ll stay with you until you’re all healed up. I’m not going
anywhere else.”
Ren wanted to sit up and talk to her, but he pulled on his shoulder, and he frowned. Ruka pushed him
back down gently. “You can’t get up just yet. The doctor said you’ll have to lie on your side. And don’t
do anything that’ll tear your wound.”
Ren was a little helpless here. He was frustrated that she saw him in this state. “Are you shocked?” He
lay back down. He had noticed the look on her face. She’s pale. She must be shocked.
I’m alright.” She pushed his hair out of his eyes and looked at him gently. “I’m not scared of anything as
long as I’m with you.” Ren smiled. Ruka might look frail, but sometimes even he was impressed by how
tough she could be.
Silas and Elijah came in after that. Silas asked Ren how he was feeling. Ren had to actually feel his
wound closely to even know if it was hurting.
“You even forgot about your pain just because Miss Singed is here. She’s even better than painkillers, I
see.” Silas smiled.
“I know, right? When Mr. Husson told me to keep this a secret from Ruka, I thought it wasn’t a good
idea. I knew he’d heal faster with her around,” Elijah said.
Ren shot him a glare. “Elijah, shut your mouth.” However, it was too late. Ruka looked at Ren angrily.
“What? You told Elijah to keep it a secret from me?”
Elijah was a little surprised. Whoops. Didn’t mean for this to happen, Sir. Sorry. “I didn’t want you to
worry.”
“And you think I won’t worry just because you kept it a secret? Ren, of course I’d be worried unless I
get to see you safe and sound. If anything like this happens again, tell me right away. I want to be the

The men were surprised. Oh, she’s starting to look like a VP’s wife now. Elijah scratched his head and
excused himself. Silas excused himself as well after he asked all the necessary questions. He wanted
to give the couple some time to themselves.
Even a man like Ren had to be lectured when he did something wrong. They left the job to his
girlfriend.
Ruka was miffed that Ren tried to keep it a secret from her. When she was feeding him some water,
she said, “If I find out that you’re keeping something like this a secret next time, I’m not taking care of
you.”
Yet, Ren had a happy smile on his face..
