“What makes you think I’d dare to? If I did say that, my mother would’ve said that I must have gone mad for being so full of myself! Mr. Vice President wouldn’t possibly take a liking to me, not even if he were blind!” Ruka huffed.
He rapped her head with his chin. “Who are you calling blind?”
Ruka giggled. Two hours ago, she felt nothing but despair, but now, she was drowning in bliss.
“Hang on. Does Aunt Scarlet know that you’re here to see me? What about your parents? Does everyone know?” Ruka clutched his shirt and fired off question after question.
“Everyone who needs to know does know by now, except for my father.” Then, Ren added, “Relax. My family supports our relationship.”
Ruka’s complexion was a little pale earlier, but now it was bright red. All of them know about it and they’re showing us support too?
“I’m certain your parents will give us their blessing too, or otherwise, it’s hard to imagine how sad their daughter would be if she couldn’t marry me!” Ren commented with a smile.
Ruka pouted and punched him in the chest. “You’re teasing me!”
She was already embarrassed enough for fainting because she thought she could not be with him.
He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. His voice was serious and full of love as he said, “I’m not teasing you, Ruka. Words can’t express how happy I am that you love me so.”
Ruka’s face turned even redder, but she wrapped her arms around his waist. “You better remember that.”
Ren stroked her hair and said, “We will never be apart again, not now, not ever.” It’s a promise.
“Okay. We’ll never be apart,” Ruka agreed with a nod without hesitation.
“Ruka…”
“Hm?” She looked up at him.
“Don’t ever faint like that again, okay? You must remember that I’ll always be by your side no matter what happens. Ren was afraid that if another misunderstanding cropped up, she would faint out of sadness or despair once more. It would break his heart if she did.
Ruka looked into his deep, brooding eyes and smiled. She feared nothing now since he said he would always be with her.
Still, she was vexed at herself for proving her love for him by fainting. What a foolish thing to do.
WWE minute. This is the hospital. Why are you here?” At last, it dawned on Ruka that a person Ulike him should not be here right now.
“It’s finc.” Ron assurce hici.
However, Ruka was not about to be as callous with his safety. She tried to push him away. “No. you better leave now! I’m fine. I don’t want anything to happen to you. Go now, quickly.”
Ren grabbed her hand, “Come with me then.”
“Where to?”
“You can recuperate at my house.”
“No, I can’t. I…” Ruka blushed. She felt a little bashful about staying with him.
However, Ren was adamant. After all, he was certain that she was the one for him. He wanted to take care of her and he knew that her parents would be fine with it.
He would beg them if he had to.
Meanwhile, in a waiting room nearby, Claire was both amazed and disbelieving when she heard what Scarlet told her. Why would Ren Husson, of all people, take a liking to her daughter? It was as if Ruka had won life’s lottery! If Ruka did marry Ren, she would have the prestige of being the Hussons’ daughter-in-law.
“Is this true, Scarlet? Is Ren truly in love with Ruka? Why does it feel like I’m dreaming?” Claire exclaimed as she clasped her hand around Scarlet’s.
“I couldn’t believe my ears when I first heard about it too, but sometimes love happens when you least expect it. Since they’re in love, we should just accept it and give them our blessing! My mother is very pleased with Ruka too. She hopes that once Ren’s done with the general elections, we can start picking a date for Ren and Ruka’s wedding.”
“Will his marriage with Ruka affect him during the general elections? After all, a lot of people know that Ruka grew up with your family. I’m afraid that others might use this information to cause a scandal for Ren. I wouldn’t want this to ruin his future!”
“I was concerned about this too, but Ruka is your child. She and Ren are not related in any way. so there’s no reason to care about what others might say. Even if somcone tries to use this against Ren. I doubt it will amount to anything as long as all of us stand together in their defense.” Scarlet assured Claire in her staunch defense of her brother’s happiness.
“Ruka’s relationship with the Hussons would change too. You’ll be her sister, and she’ll be calling Mrs. Hiusson Mom.” Claire was a little flummoxed by the thought of it.
*That’s nothing to fret over. I’mni thrilled to have Ruka is my sister-in-law. Our two families will be joined in marriage now, so we’ll be closer than ever! Isn’t that a good thing?” Scarlet continued to assuage all of Claire’s worries without any sign of displeasure
Claire nodded happily. “I like the sound of that. I’d love for us to be a family”
“Claire, you can trust Ren. Ruka’s safe in his hands! He loves her very much,” Scarlet declared seriously.
Claire was still feeling remorseful over the way she admonished Ruka earlier. That combined with the way she felt as if she had wronged Ruka, made her nod al once “Of course. I have absolute faith in Ren I’m just worried that he would have his hands full with her since she’s still so young”
“That’s not true. Ruka’s a thoughtful and mature young loudy. Plus, we’re glad that he’ll have someone by his side now instead of being alone all the time. Scarlettel bad tor Ren. He sacrificed a lot for the sake of their family’s glory.
Just then, Elijah knocked on the door and came in. “Min Falkner, Mrs. Singed. Miss Singed has woken up now and the doctor has cleared her for discharge, so thats being processed right now.”
“Ruka should be fine now.” Scarlet stood up and said to Claire, “Let’s go and see her.”
Claire and Scarlet entered the hospital room and saw Ruka sitting up in bed. Ruka could not look her mother in the eye yet, but Claire came up to her and hugued her. “Ruka. I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. Please forgive me!”
“I’m not mad at you, Mom.” Ruka returned the hug. She could understand why her mother had been so worried.
“Mr. and Mrs. Singed, there’s something I’d like to ask of you.” Ren stood up and said,
Ruka’s cheeks turned pink. Was he going to say it now?
“Go ahead, Ren” Robert looked at him.
“I wish to take Ruka home with me and let her recuperate there until the end of the year. I hope you will give your permission.” Ren gave them a pleading look.
Scarlet was amused at how impatient he was in his eagerness to keep Ruka by his side.
Claire and Robert exchanged glances and nodded without protest.
“Will it be too much trouble for you, though?” Claire asked in concern.
“Of course not,” Ren responded with a smile.
