Chapter 1352
“How do you feel?” Silas asked.
“Feels like something‘s burning.”
“Probably because the bullet scalded your muscles. You‘re lucky the bullet hit your back.” Silas went
through the injury report, and his heart skipped a beat. If the bullet hit him just a bit lower, it would have
pierced his heart.
“Those slimy b*stards kidnapped a three–year–old girl and used her as a moving target. The girl would
have died if Mr. Husson hadn‘t moved quickly enough,” Elijah said. He admired Ren for
his sympathetic side. The man actually blocked a bullet for a child without even hesitating.
“Let‘s stop talking about that. Stay calm until the announcement comes out,” Ren said. The pain on his
body was making him frown.
Anyone else would have screamed in pain already. The agony brought by a bullet was not something
everyone could endure.
Silas left the room and called Elijah out. “Get someone to tend to him. Someone close to him,
preferably. I don‘t trust the hospital staff.”
Scarlet and Walter had gone home. They were getting too old to stay up too late at night.
Oh, I know who can do this. Mr. Husson told me not to tell Ruka about this, but he‘ll feel better if she‘s
here.
“I‘ll get someone.” Elijah nodded and left.
He arrived at the Singed Residence an hour later and rang the doorbell. Ruka was in the living room,
preparing the ingredients for their next meal with her mother. She said, “I‘ll take it.”
She opened the door and saw Elijah outside, though she was shocked to see him in this state. “What
happened to your head, Elijah?”
