He just had chest pain earlier. Was he fine now? What if he fainted in the study or his room and there

was no one around him to notice it?

Ruka immediately got out of bed and put on her woolen shoes before rushing out. She went straight to

the study where Ren might be and gently turned the door knob, but he was no longer inside.

Was he back in his room? With a strange burst of courage, Ruka sped toward his bedroom.

When she reached the door of his bedroom, she took a deep breath. Thinking that making sure of his

safety was the most important thing no matter what, she knocked on the door.

was just worried about you, so I came to check on you.

Ren’s lips curled upward, causing his charming dimples to appear. This woman was quite brave for

“Come in.” Ren’s voice was slightly hoarse, and it was gentle yet bossy.

“Are you afraid that I’d eat you?” Ren curled his lips and smiled. “Although I really want to, I’ll respect

your wishes.”

He also meant that as long as Ruka agreed, he would do anything.
