“Nah. We’ll find out eventually.” He smiled.
Angela just wanted to find out beforehand so she could buy the things her baby needed. But if Richard says it’s okay, then it’s okay.
They went back to the ward, and Richard announced the good news to Charlotte. Charlotte was over the moon as expected. She told Angela to sit beside her and gave her tips on how to get through the pregnancy
At the same time, Scarlet and Walter were on their way to the Singeds’ place. Scarlet still had mixed emotions about it, but overall, they would be happy if this worked out.
Unbeknownst to them, the Singed household did not share their happiness. Ruka was lying on her bed, crying her heart out. Claire had locked herself up in her room as well. She still couldn’t get over it. She just thought her daughter shouldn’t ingratiate herself to the Hussons.
Things were grim in the Singed household. Robert was sleeping on the couch. He had no idea about the turmoil his wife and his daughter just went through. Claire locked herself up in her room and thought about how her daughter grew up. She just couldn’t figure out how her daughter became a shallow person who only cared about people with money and power.
Ruka was in her roon as well. She had gone from crying her heart out to staying still. All she could think of was the time she spent with Ren. And then… she started crying again.
She had never felt so helpless in her life before. She was in a state of distress. She had no idea how happy she would be if she dated liimi, but losing him would kill her inside.
It felt like everything was starting to spin, and the world became silent. She had fainted without anyone knowing.
Someone rang the doorbell.
Robert had just woken up. He sat up, wondering who it was. The man opened the door and saw Scarlet and Walter outside.
“Scarlet? Walter? What brings you here?” Robert was surprised. He thought they would have dinner al tie Husson residence,
Okay, it’s a bit too quiet here. Scarlet asked, “Are Claire and Ruka home?
Robert looked at the shoe rack. “Yeah. They’re in their own rooms.
“Good. We have something to talk about.” Scarlet smiled. She heard sounds of footsteps coming from the bedroom. Claire came down tying her hair. She was surprised that Scarlet and lier husband were here.
“What happened to you, Claire?” Scarlet noticed that her friend’s eyes were puffy. She looked pale and exhausted.
Claire heaved a sigh and took a seat on the couch. “Scarlet, there’s something I need to tell you, but you might get angry too.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Ruka. She… She’s a bad girl now.” The guilt Claire felt crushed her, and she buried her face in her hands and started crying.
Robert looked at his wife in shock. “Claire, just say what you have to say. Don’t cry. What do you mean, she’s a bad girl?”
Scarlet sat down beside her friend and patted her back. “Just say whatever is on your mind. Claire. Ruka’s a good girl. What do you mean she’s turned bad?”
Claire was too ashamed to look at Scarlet. She hung her had low. “Scarlet, Ruka is a good child at birart
“I know. I always thought she’s a kind, uprighi girl. Just tell us what happened. Don’t scare us!” she quickly said.
“Yeah, just tell us what happened!” Robert was shocked as well.
Claire didn’t plan on hiding anything. She sighed. “Back at your house today, L… I saw Ruka kiss Ren.”
Robert was petrified. My daughter kissed the VP?
Scarlet and Walter exchanged a look. There were smiles in their eyes, but Claire didn’t notice it. She quickly saici, “T’ll tell her to stay away from Ren, Scarlet. Don’t you worry.”
Scarlet smiled. “This is why we’re here, Claire. Have you ever thought that they might actually like each other?”
Claire gaped at Scarlet in disbelief. “What do you mean, Scarlet?”
“Ren told us he likes Ruka back at the hospital. He really likes her. He hopes you’ll bless their relationship,” Walter said.
The Singed couple exchanged a look. The news was a bombshell for them. Ren likes Ruka? They like each other?
“Is that a joke, Scarlet? I mean, Ren is the VP, and Ruka is just… Ruka.” Claire was still in disbelief.
Robert quickly asked, “When did this happen? Why didn’t Ruka tell us?”
“Probably when she was staying with Ren. They fell in love and probably just started dating,” Scarlet quickly answered.
Claire realized what was going on. She regretted everything she said and did to Ruka. So they love each other. It’s not a one-sided love like I thought.
“Why didn’t she say anything? And I actually yelled at her.” Wait a minute. I don’t hear anything in her room. She should have noticed the conversation and come downstairs by now.
“Ruka!” Claire shot up from the couch and made a dash for Ruka’s room.
Everyone else followed her. Claire knocked on the door. “Ruka? It’s me. Open up.”
The door was locked from the inside. It couldn’t be opened, and they had a bad feeling about it.
“Get the keys! Ruka might be in danger!” Scarlet said.
Robert went and looked for the keys. Claire was tearing up in panic. “Ruka, open the door! I’m sorry! It was a misunderstanding, Please, open up!”
“Ruka? It’s me, Scarlet. Let’s talk, alright? Don’t lock yourself up.”
Robert came back with the keys. Claire opened the door and went inside. Ruka was lying on the bed. She might be asleep. but Claire thought otherwise.
Robert quickly went to the bed and held Ruka. He checked her breathing and told everyone, “Take her to the hospital. She’s passed out.”
Claire wobbled. The guilt almost made her pass out as well, but Scarlet held her: “We gotta take her to the hospital, Claire. Let’s go.”
Robert left the house with Ruka in his arms. Walter got into the car and revved it up. Scarlet took the passenger seat, while Claire got into the backseal. She held Ruka as they made their way to the hospital
“This is all my fault. I didn’t talk things through with her and went straight to the yelling. I even made her swear she’d stay away from Ren. I should have tried to understand the situation better first.” Claire was crying.
“It’s alright, Claire. Don’t cry. It’s not your fault.” Scarlet turned around,
They went to a nearby hospital, and Ruka was taken to the emergency room. Scarlet called Ren.
*Scarlet? What is it?”
