He was wearing a long black coat, a black baseball cap, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a large
black mask that hid most of his face. However, his tall figure and distinguished air still drew everyone’s
attention.
Elijah followed right beside him, along with several bodyguards in the rear who were on their toes at all
times. Walter and Robert were waiting for him in the corridor of the hospital’s inpatient ward on the sixth
floor..
When Robert saw the man that stepped out of the elevator, his heart was moved. He was touched to
see Ren coming to the hospital in spite of how dangerous it was for him.
“Mr. Husson.” Robert stepped forward to greet him. “Has Ruka woken up yet?” Ren asked gently. “No.
Claire and Scarlet are both in there with her right now,” Robert replied before heading into the room.
“Mr. Husson is here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClaire stood up in a tizzy, and Scarlet patted her hand to calm her down. “Don’t be nervous.”
Claire was pleased, but she was also feeling a little remorseful. At last, she realized how strong the
feelings were between her daughter and Ren. She was also deeply moved by the fact that he came to
visit Ruka despite how dangerous it was for him.
Ren stepped through the door and his heart dropped when he saw the woman who was lying on the
hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator. He turned to Claire and greeted her politely. “Mrs. Singed.”
“Mr. Husson,” Claire greeted him back a little nervously. “Claire, let’s find a place to rest and let Ren sit
with Ruka for a while.” Scarlet was more than happy to help her brother have some alone time with
Ruka.
“Okay.” Claire nodded in agreement. She did not worry about leaving Ruka in Ren’s hands. Scarlet
turned to her brother and said, “Ren, take good care of Ruka.”
“I will.” Ren nodded. The two bodyguards continued to keep watch outside the room. Elijah was leaning
against the wall and he was on high alert as well.
After all, the man sitting in there right now was the nation’s vice president, Ren Husson. Ren sat down
by the bed and sighed. He figured out what happened based on what Scarlet told him earlier.
So she got a good scolding, huh? Ren blamed himself for it. It was his fault for not informing the
Singeds about their relationship. His failure to do so led to her family misunderstanding her.
“I’m sorry, Ruka. It’s my fault.” Ren took her slightly chilly hand in his and kissed it softly.
Ruka was slowly gaining consciousness. She vaguely heard a man’s voice that sounded rather like his,
but she thought she had to be dreaming.
Her eyelids trembled slightly and her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
The lights along the ceiling blinded her for a moment and she blinked rapidly to get used to the
brightness. “You’re awake?” She heard a deep voice calling out to her.
Ruka turned her head a little to the side and immediately, she saw Ren’s handsome face staring back

Ren stood up from his seat and pulled her into his arms in one fell swoop. He rested his chin on her
head as he said, “Don’t worry. Your parents know all about us now. They won’t scold you anymore.”
“Really? They know everything?” Ruka’s eyes welled up with tears as her despair surged up again.
She grabbed his sleeves tightly and leaned against his chest. She was determined to be with him, even
if it meant withstanding the brunt of her family’s anger.
“Why am I in the hospital?” Ruka looked up at him and asked.
Ren ran his fingers through her hair. His heart was aching as he explained, “You fainted after being too
overwhelmed by your emotions. Scarlet and the others brought you to the hospital.”
Ruka felt a little mortified and she scampered back into his arms to hide. She had fainted out of grief
that she would never be able to be with him anymore.
“Is it because of me?” he asked with a sigh.
Ruka did not want to deny it, so she nodded. “My mother saw me kissing you back at Husson
Residence. She was furious and upset because she thought 1 was trying to seduce you.”
