“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 | think you're perfect for the job.”

“Okay. Ill pack up right away.” She went back into the house.

Elijah heaved a sigh of relief. | hope Mr. Husson won't yell atwhen he sees her:

Ruka held her tears back and told her mother, “Mom, Ren wantsto 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 cback 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.

He told her what happened while they were on their way there. She felt her heart thumping furiously as he recounted the tale.

Tears were welling up in her eyes again, but she held it back. On closer inspection, her hands were trembling slightly too.
