“Why would you think so? If Sir were to see you, he would immediately become better even if he didn’t take his medicine. Is the bodyguard with you now? Tell him to send you over here.” Saying that, Elijah ended the call.
With her phone in hand, Ruka was stunned briefly before she raised her head and said to the bodyguard, “Please bring me to the hospital.” With a nod from the bodyguard, he then gestured for Ruka to follow him to his car.
On the way to the hospital, Ruka was filled with worries. Why did his condition worsen? He still looked fine back in the conference room just now. Just like that, she stewed in her worries all the way to the hospital.
With guards posted in every corner of the place, the hospital Ren was admitted to was anything but ordinary, so much so that even she had to register several times just to enter the hospital.
Elijah came and escorted her to a ward on the sixth floor. There, he knocked on the door before he said to her, “Sir is inside here. Miss Singed, please.”
Ruka nodded and was about to turn the door handle when Elijah continued in a whisper, “Miss Singed, Sir is in a bad mood now. Please try not to agitate him.. Also, he hasn’t had much to eat today, so please persuade him to eat something.”
Listening to the assistant’s instructions, she was briefly stunned before she nodded as a response. Then, she gently opened the door and entered the ward.
Although this was a hospital, the ward Ruka entered was a private VIP suite. On top of that huge white bed, Ren was sitting with a document in hand while hooked up to the IV drip. When he noticed that she was the one who had entered the ward, he continued to read his document after taking a glance at the woman.
“Mr. Ren, are you okay?” she asked in concern while walking over to his side, her eyes examining the color of the man’s face.
“I’m fine,” he answered indifferently.
“Do you still have a fever?” Ruka continued asking while subconsciously reaching her hand out to his forehead to measure Ren’s temperature, to which he said nothing and allowed it to happen. She discreetly heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he was at a relatively normal temperature.
Noticing the fruits by the bedside, she asked, “Do you want an apple? I’ll peel them for you.” “I don’t feel like it.” Ren refused.
“Then, what do you feel like eating?” Ruka asked as she blinked and thought back on Elijah saying that he hadn’t eaten anything today.
The man on the bed then stared deeply at her, as though he was trying to bore through her with his gaze.
As she was just waiting for Ren to answer her question, she hadn’t expected to find him staring straight at her in response. Why is he staring at me? It’s not like I brought any food with me. Then, he answered hoarsely, “You.”
Ruka was first stunned by the man’s word. When she realized what he meant a few seconds later, her face grew as red as a tomato. Looking at her turning red, Ren smiled and said, “Bring me some porridge.”
She then left in a hurry and came back soon after with a bowl of nutritious chicken porridge in hand. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she handed the bowl to him and said, “Here, the porridge you wanted. Eat up.”
