Although he stood in an upright posture, his body was stiff, his eyes bleak. He clenched his fists so
tightly that the veins on his hands started to bulge. Just as the girl was about to open the door, he cried
out, “Ruka, don’t go.”
Even if he was a powerful man standing on top of the world, all that power and prestige meant nothing
in the face of the girl, as just a few words from her was enough to shatter his calm composure.
Ruka stopped in her tracks and had her will weakened upon hearing Ren’s voice that seemed as
though he was begging her. “What else do you want?” Ruka asked in a softer tone than before, but still
kept her back at him. “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be staying over at my friend’s place tonight.”
“I do. I need you to stay here and take care of me.” The man’s deep voice sounded.
“Not only are there so many nurses around, but there are even your men and bodyguards here. I’m

“The only person I want is you,” Ren replied with his voice turning hoarse at the end. Just what does
this man want from me? Ruka’s heart was in complete disarray.
Before Ruka could think of how to reject the man, Ren had passed her by, opened. the door, and
shouted, “Elijah, come.”
Elijah instantly heeded Ren’s call as he appeared by the door. “Sir, what are your orders?”
“I want to go home. Settle the paperwork for me to be discharged,” said Ren.
“You mustn’t. The hospital director said you must be hospitalized overnight so that the hospital can
check on your condition.” Elijah immediately rejected Ren’s request.
As Ren had been experiencing refusals over and over again today, he grew slightly irritated as he
grumbled, “I’m the one making the calls here. Go and prepare the car.” After that, he said to the girl
behind him, “You shouldn’t bother your friend, so just come home with me.”
Ruka was dumbfounded by what Ren said, since it was precisely because she didn’t want to share a
room with him that she decided to stay the night at Rita’s place. So, she refused. “I’m not going with
you. I want to stay at my friend’s place tonight.”
Words couldn’t describe how terrible he looked right now. His expression forbidding, Ren vented his
anger on Elijah, the man who was currently stuck between a rock and a hard place. “Why are you still
standing here? Get a move on!”
Ruka was also startled by the man’s words. Just what is wrong with this man?!
Although he was trembling with fear, Elijah straightened himself for Ren’s sake. “Sir, since your heart is
showing symptoms of arrhythmia, the director has advised you to stay the night in the hospital so that
they can monitor your condition.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Elijah’s words immediately captured Ruka’s attention, she immediately asked. “What’s wrong with
his heart?”
Even though the person in question was just in front of her, Ruka asked Elijah instead. This made a
certain someone to look askance at her with a surge of displeasure rising inside him.
“Miss Singed, may we talk as we walk?” Elijah was much bolder than Ruka, as he asked for her to
leave a certain someone’s side.
After Ruka took a glance at the clearly displeased man beside Elijah, she simply left the ward and shut
the door behind her. As she walked beside Elijah, he explained to her, “This afternoon when Sir had
just returned to the White House, he suddenly said that he wasn’t feeling too good with his heart.
After a series of tests in the hospital, the hospital director decided to keep him here for one day to
monitor his condition. Miss Singed, please. You have to persuade Sir to stay the night here. He’ll
definitely listen if it’s you saying it.”
