Chapter 1377
“I’m fine, Mom. You don’t need to check it.”
“Just let me take a look. I’ll put some ointment on it.” Charlotte was determined to check and see if Ren
was injured.
“Mom, Dad, that won’t be necessary. Ruka’s all alone at home right now. I should go back and have
lunch with her.”
“Oh, alright. We should’ve just had Ruka come with you,” Charlotte said.
“I’ll get going then.” Ren turned around and left as quickly as he could. As soon as he got into the car,
he gave Silas a call.
“My wound has split again. Come and take care of it,” Ren said.
“What’s going on with you? Are you trying to stay injured forever?” Silas snapped in frustration.
Ren was even more frustrated. He was waiting impatiently for his wound to heal, but he had no choice
this time. Harold’s belt had landed exactly on his wound.
At the Vice President’s Residence.
The servants had just prepared lunch when they heard the commotion outside. Ren came in and said
to the servants, “Prepare one more serving. Someone will be joining us for lunch today.”
They nodded and got to work. Just then, Silas arrived with his medical bag in hand. As Ruka had not
noticed that Ren was back, he pointed to one of the side rooms and said, “This way.”
Silas sighed once he removed the bandage, but he started cleaning the wound up again. Thankfully, it
was just the skin that had split. The rest of the wound was still recovering just fine.
Once Silas was done redressing the wound, Ren put his clothes back on and said, “Don’t tell Ruka
about my wound splitting again. Just say that you’re here for lunch.”
Meanwhile, on the second floor.
Ruka’s phone started ringing. She answered right away when she saw it was a call from Scarlet. “Hi,
Aunt Scarlet.”
“Ruka, is Ren home yet? My mother called me just now and said that my father hit him with a belt. She
doesn’t know where he got hit or if it left any injuries.”
“What? Why?!”
