Chapter 1355
Dubra‘s heart went out to him. All she could do at the moment was stay with him and tend to his
needs at his hour of need.
Ren was asleep for three hours. Eventually, he felt someone holding his hand, and he opened his eyes
to see who it was.
When he saw Ruka staring at him in joy with tears in her eyes, he woke up right away.
What? Why is she here? Who brought her here?
“You‘re awake!” She was staring at him this whole time. The moment his eyelashes fluttered, she stood
up and stared down at him.
He touched her cheek. Her eyes are puffy. He said raspily, “Don‘t cry, Ruka.”
Ruka wiped her tears away. She denied, “I wasn‘t crying. Don’t worry about me.”
He smiled. Elijah still did it in the end. Still, it‘s nice to see her here.
“Don‘t cry. Since you‘re here, you gotta stay happy,” he said raspily. It was like hearing someone talk
with sand in their throat, but Ruka thought it was mesmerizing.
She leaned down and kissed his forehead. “I‘ll stay with you until you‘re all healed up. I‘m not going
anywhere else.”
Ren wanted to sit up and talk to her, but he pulled on his shoulder, and he frowned. Ruka pushed him
back down gently. “You can‘t get up just yet. The doctor said you‘ll have to lie on your side. And don‘t
do anything that‘ll tear your wound.” ;
Ren was a little helpless here. He was frustrated that she saw him in this state.
“Are you shocked?” He lay back down. He had noticed the look on her face. She‘s pale. She must be
shocked.
“I‘m alright.” She pushed his hair out of his eyes and looked at him gently. “I‘m not scared of anything
as long as I‘m with you.”
Ren smiled. Ruka might look frail, but sometimes even he was impressed by how tough she could be.
Silas and Elijah came in after that. Silas asked Ren how he was feeling. Ren had to actually feel his
wound closely to even know if it was hurting.
“You even forgot about your pain just because Miss Singed is here. She‘s even better than painkillers, I
see.” Silas smiled.
