Apparently, he was fine with getting lectured by Ruka. “Of course. No more secrets,” he promised.
Later, Silas came in with two nurses who helped change the dressing of his wound. Ruka stepped
aside. When she saw how severe his wound was, she felt her heart squeeze.
The bandages were taken off, and they started putting disinfectants on the wound. Ruka crouched
down and held his hand to help distract him from the pain.
Ren held her hand. He tried his best not to even flinch despite the pain. The nurses left after they
changed the wound dressing. Silas said, “Miss Singed, I’ll need you to clean his upper body.”
Ruka blushed, but she nodded. “Sure. I’ll do that right away.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRen looked at Silas. Hey, I’m injured here. I don’t wanna get a boner when I’m injured. Even so, he was
looking forward to her cleaning him.
Ruka went and prepared the stuff needed to clean Ren up. She wanted to give him the best service he
could get.
She came back with a basin of water and a towel, then thoroughly wiped him off. The lady was so
serious, she didn’t even get any ideas about him. Her eyes were shining with a holy light.
Ren peered at Ruka, his eyes sparkling. He looked at her beautiful eyes, her aquiline nose, and finally,
her crimson lips. He felt his throat tightening up, and he gulped. “My neck next, please,” he said huskily.
Ruka quickly wiped his neck. She was an inch away from him. A smile curled Ren’s lips as he held her
chin and pushed it up. He then pressed his lips against hers.
She stopped breathing for a moment, but she didn’t back off or refuse the kiss. Ren moved his hand to
the back of her head, then he held her neck, pulling her closer for a deeper kiss.
The kiss went on until his chest was heaving and stabs of pain were coming from his wound. He
reluctantly accepted that as the end of the kiss, but before they parted lips, he bit her lower lip.
Ruka pursed her lips and looked at him shyly. “Just focus on healing up. Don’t do anything stupid for
now.” He narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean ‘anything stupid? Care to elaborate?”
She blinked at him and turned around to pick the basin up. “Just don’t do it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRen heaved a sigh. Darn it. I could have slept with her today. If I get my hands on those b*stards, I’ll kill
them!
Silas came to check in on him. He noticed an increase in Ren’s heart rate, but then that was possibly
because of Ruka coming in close contact with him, so he didn’t check on that.
Elijah got Ruka a room to make it easier for her to care for Ren while he was down. A moment later, an
important guest turned up in the ward and talked to Ren for half an hour. He was even more of a
bigshot than Ren was, and Ren respected this man a lot.
One good thing that came out of this accident was him getting a month of rest before the election.
“Rest up. I’ll handle everything. You’ve worked hard.” The man in his fifties g s gave people the feeling
that he was an aristocrat or royalty. His eyes glinted with wisdom and intellect.
“Your nephew’s taking over the investigation. I believe he’ll find the assassins who attacked you. We
won’t let this slide, and I will clear the system of any canker. They will pay for this.”
