Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1243

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1243

Elijah shushed her and told her to come outside. “I need to tell you something. Miss Singed, but only you. Keep this a secret from your parents.”

“What is it?” Ruka felt her heart sink for some reason. “Mr. Husson was ambushed last night. A bullet hit him, and he’s in the hospital now,” Elijah said.

Ruka felt herself wobble. She covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes. With a trembling voice, she asked, “Is he in danger?”

He quickly assured her, “Don’t worry. He’s not in any danger, but the loss of blood did weaken him a little. He needs someone to tend to him, and I think you’re perfect for the job.”

“Okay. I’ll pack up right away.” She went back into the house. Elijah heaved a sigh of relief. I hope Mr. Husson won’t yell at me when he sees her.

Ruka held her tears back and told her mother. “Mom. Ren wants me to stay over for a few days. I’m packing up.”

Claire looked at her daughter and smiled. Ah, kids and their relationship. She felt happy that her daughter found someone who loved her so much.

Nothing was more important than her daughter’s happiness. Whether she stayed with them or not was fine. Ten minutes later, Ruka came back down with her luggage in tow. “Bye, Mom.”

She almost broke out into a run. Elijah put her luggage in the backseat, and Ruka took the passenger seat. Elijah drove straight to the hospital.

When Ruka went inside and saw Ren, she finally cried. He was sleeping, and he looked as pale as a ghost from losing too much blood. She had never seen him looking so fragile before. Ruka covered her mouth, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Elijah quickly handed her a tissue. His heart went out to her. I see why Mr. Husson told me to keep it a secret. She had tears in her eyes the moment she knew the news. She must be heartbroken.

Ruka sat down on the edge of the bed, and Elijah left the room, leaving her alone with Ren. She held her sobs in and clasped his hand, which felt cool to the touch. This hand used to be so warm, but not now. However, she would hold it and give it warmth.

She leaned over and kissed his palm. Ruka felt a little more at ease seeing him asleep and fine.

How did this happen? No wonder he’s escorted by so many people every time he’s out and about. Danger lurks around every corner, and his enemies will stop at nothing to take him down.
