Chapter 1216
Ruka’s blush extended all the way to her ears as she followed him to the elevator. The hospital elevators were long and rectangular. Despite being rather large, it became quite crowded by the time they got to the third floor.
Elijah and the two bodyguards stood protectively in front of them, while Ruka and Ren were stuck together. She nestled into him and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Once they arrived on the first floor, Ren continued to walk hand-in-hand with Ruka as he led her out to the hospital lobby. She felt a lot of envious and wistful stares from others. Although the man beside her was wearing a mask, it did nothing to hide his innate aura of dominance.
Even though the passersby could not see his face, they could tell from his distinguished air alone that he was no ordinary man. Elijah and the two bodyguards remained vigilant and only exhaled in relief once the two entered the car.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and serene, in stark contrast to the bustle they had just walked through. Ruka felt the hand around her waist tightening as its owner pulled her closer. She scooted over and settled into the middle of the backseat, and he helped her with the seatbelt.
Ruka lifted her head a little and his lips brushed across her forehead. A smile danced in his eyes as he asked, “Are you happy, Ruka?”
“Yeah.” She held his arm and rested her head against his shoulder. “I’m very happy.
They set off for Ren’s place. Ruka was exhausted after the sequence of events. that took place throughout the day, so she leaned against Ren and fell asleep.
Ren held her close and used his coat to tuck her securely against him. The warmth that emanated from him lulled Ruka to sleep.
He had the car drive up to the front entrance of his residence, and once the
driver opened the car door for him, he carried Ruka down. She stirred awake from the motion, and when she saw how he carried her into the hall, she was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his arms.
Fortunately for her, the bodyguards were wise enough to know when to be scarce. The procession of cars also disappeared within seconds.
“Do you still feel sleepy?” Ren asked. “Yeah. I still feel like sleeping.” Ruka nodded drowsily.
Ren smiled and carried her upstairs. Ruka sat up in shock when she realized that he put her down on his bed in the master bedroom. “I don’t want to sleep in your bed. I’ll sleep in the guest room!”
However, Ren bent over and took her shoes off for her. Even so, she still tried to stand in a hurry, as if she would sully his bed by sleeping there.
Just as she was about to stand, he pressed down on her shoulder to keep her in bed.. and she tripped over her own legs.
“Ahh!” She began to fall back onto the bed, but before she landed, she reacted instinctively and grabbed onto his shirt, which ended up pulling him down with her.
She felt herself sinking into the soft bed beneath her, while his body loomed over her and trapped her in. Still, he managed to prop himself up with his hands flat against the bed, or else, it would have been painful for her if he fell onto her as well.
His sculpted features were reflected in her large, clear eyes-including the stir of emotions that could be detected in his gaze.
