Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1147

Although he stood in an upright posture, his body was stiff, his eyes bleak. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his hands started to bulge. Just as the girl was about to open the door, he cried out, “Ruka, don’t go.”

Even if he was a powerful man standing on top of the world, all that power and prestige meant nothing in the face of the girl, as just a few words from her was enough to shatter his calm composure.

Ruka stopped in her tracks and had her will weakened upon hearing Ren’s voice that seemed as though he was begging her. “What else do you want?” Ruka asked in a softer tone than before, but still kept her back at him. “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be staying over at my friend’s place tonight.”

“I do. I need you to stay here and take care of me.” The man’s deep voice sounded.

“Not only are there so many nurses around, but there are even your men and bodyguards here. I’m sure there are more than enough people here who will take good care of you,” Ruka retorted.

“The only person I want is you,” Ren replied with his voice turning hoarse at the end. Just what does this man want from me? Ruka’s heart was in complete disarray.

Before Ruka could think of how to reject the man, Ren had passed her by, opened. the door, and shouted, “Elijah, come.”

Elijah instantly heeded Ren’s call as he appeared by the door. “Sir, what are your orders?”

“I want to go home. Settle the paperwork for me to be discharged,” said Ren.

“You mustn’t. The hospital director said you must be hospitalized overnight so that the hospital can check on your condition.” Elijah immediately rejected Ren’s request.

Even though the person in question was just in front of her, Ruka asked Elijah instead. This made a certain someone to look askance at her with a surge of displeasure rising inside him.

“Miss Singed, may we talk as we walk?” Elijah was much bolder than Ruka, as he asked for her to leave a certain someone’s side.

After Ruka took a glance at the clearly displeased man beside Elijah, she simply left the ward and shut the door behind her. As she walked beside Elijah, he explained to her, “This afternoon when Sir had just returned to the White House, he suddenly said that he wasn’t feeling too good with his heart.

After a series of tests in the hospital, the hospital director decided to keep him here for one day to monitor his condition. Miss Singed, please. You have to persuade Sir to stay the night here. He’ll definitely listen if it’s you saying it.”
