Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 1171-1180
“I’m fine, Mom. You don’t need to check it.”
“Just let me take a look. I’ll put some ointment on it.” Charlotte was determined to check and see if Ren was injured.
“Mom, Dad, that won’t be necessary. Ruka’s all alone at home right now. I should go back and have lunch with her.”
“Oh, alright. We should’ve just had Ruka come with you,” Charlotte said.
“I’ll get going then.” Ren turned around and left as quickly as he could. As soon as he got into the car, he gave Silas a call.
“My wound has split again. Come and take care of it,” Ren said.
“What’s going on with you? Are you trying to stay injured forever?” Silas snapped in frustration.
Ren was even more frustrated. He was waiting impatiently for his wound to heal, but he had no choice this time. Harold’s belt had landed exactly on his wound.
At the Vice President’s Residence.
The servants had just prepared lunch when they heard the commotion outside. Ren came in and said to the servants, “Prepare one more serving. Someone will be joining us for lunch today.”
They nodded and got to work. Just then, Silas arrived with his medical bag in hand. As Ruka had not noticed that Ren was back, he pointed to one of the side rooms and said, “This way.”
Silas sighed once he removed the bandage, but he started cleaning the wound up again. Thankfully, it was just the skin that had split. The rest of the wound was still recovering just fine.
Once Silas was done redressing the wound, Ren put his clothes back on and said, “Don’t tell Ruka about my wound splitting again. Just say that you’re here for lunch.”
Meanwhile, on the second floor.
Ruka’s phone started ringing. She answered right away when she saw it was a call from Scarlet. “Hi, Aunt Scarlet.”
“Ruka, is Ren home yet? My mother called me just now and said that my father hit him with a belt. She doesn’t know where he got hit or if it left any injuries.”
“What? Why?!”
“Someone incited my father by telling him about Ren’s relationship with you on purpose. My father was furious and hit Ren because of it. Since Ren is home with you, you should go and check if he’s injured.”
Ruka had a worried look on her face. “Okay, I will.”
“My father has always had a nasty temper. I feel bad for Ren. He’s a grown man now, but he still had to take a beating on his knees.”
“What? He was beaten while kneeling?” Ruka felt incredibly sorry for Ren.
“Anyway, you should check and see if he’s injured. My father’s no longer angry now, and he’s fine with the relationship, so I guess it ended on a good note.”
“Alright. I’ll go and see if he’s back.” Ruka peered out the French window and saw Ren’s car, so she quickly said, “He’s back. I’ll go and check on him.”
“Okay. Go ahead!” Scarlet ended the call.
Ruka rushed down the stairs and saw Ren and Silas stepping out of one of the spare rooms. “Why are you here, Dr. Silas?” she exclaimed.
Her eyes flickered over to Ren.
Her eyes flickered over to Ren.
Silas cleared his throat and said with a smile, “I’m just here for lunch.”
However, Ruka was not to be fooled. If Dr. Silas came here right after Ren took a beating, it means the wound must have split again! She sighed as her heart ached for him.
Was he trying to hide it from her just so that she would not worry about him?
Well, he did take a beating. Ruka bit her lip and decided against bringing it up for the sake of his dignity.
Silas left after lunch and Ruka held Ren’s arm as they went upstairs to rest. Ren looked perfectly normal despite taking a beating, and he was doing his best to keep it from her. Thus, she felt like he was being a stubborn child right now.
It seemed as if age no longer came between them. He loved her and she loved him. They were equals in the relationship and equals in love.
“I’ll stay with you for a while.” Ruka dragged Ren back to his bedroom. For the past few days, she had stayed away to ensure that she did not disrupt his recovery process in any way, even though she wanted to sleep in his arms each night.
Today was an exception as she wanted to comfort him after all that he went through.
“Okay!” Ren nodded. Ruka was being a lot sweeter than usual.
It was making his yearning for her grow, but thanks to his wound being aggravated time and time again, his frustration kept growing too.
In the evening, a guest arrived—Richard.
When Ruka saw him enter dressed in camouflage, she called out at once, “Richard…”
The hesitance as she trailed off caught both men’s attention.
Richard glanced at Ren, who cleared his throat and said, “Ruka, you don’t need to be so formal with him. You can even call him Richie if you like!”
Ruka blushed and nodded. “Okay.”
“Have you had dinner yet? Sit with us,” Ren said to Richard.
Richard glanced at his watch before nodding. “Sure. I’ll stay for dinner.”
The two men soon proceeded to the study for a discussion. Richard had come over for a reason.
“Uncle Ren, we’ve determined that the mastermind is Orson Grady, but he covers his tracks very well. All of those who failed in carrying out his tasks end up disappearing without a trace.”
Ren’s eyes glinted coldly. Orson had lost to him during the last elections by just a few hundred votes. It was evident that Orson was going all out this time.
“Do you have a way to lure him out?”
“One. We want to use Ruka’s identity as bait.”
“I won’t allow Ruka to be put in any danger,” Ren refused right away.
Richard smirked. “I wouldn’t put Ruka at risk either. I just want to use her identity and send one of my people disguised as her.”
Ren narrowed his eyes. “How confident are you?”
“Since the assassination failed, their next target would be Ruka. They will want to use Ruka as blackmail to get you to renounce your candidacy for the elections. The elections are in two months, so they’ll definitely act soon.” Richard spoke with certainty.
Ren nodded. His eyes were cold as he said, “Alright. We’ll proceed with your plan. Guys like Orson Grady should be exterminated.”
“How’s your injury, Uncle Ren?” Richard voiced his concern.
“It’s fine. I’ll be back to normal in a few days,” Ren assured him.
Richard patted Ren’s arm. “Don’t worry! I’ll be a part of your security detail from now on. This won’t happen again.”
“I’ll rest at ease knowing that you’re here.”
“I promised Angela that I would stay in the country and wouldn’t go far.” Richard did not regret giving up his career and position for the sake of love. He did it willingly. Furthermore, his job now was to keep his family safe, which was something meaningful as well.
Richard left after dinner. He had been traveling around the past few days and had not seen Angela for a while now, so now that he finally had some free time, he was eager to rush home and see her.
Ordinarily, Ren would ask Ruka to sleep in his room at night, but tonight, he was unusually self-aware and did not ask her to come with him to bed.
It was Ruka who could not fall asleep. Her heart panged each time she recalled how he had been beaten, and it was all because of her too!
What could she do for him? She decided that if she did see Harold, she had to let him know just how much she loved Ren and that nothing could break them apart.
What could she do for him? She decided that if she did see Harold, she had to let him know just how much she loved Ren and that nothing could break them apart.
The next morning, when Ruka came out of the bedroom, she heard sounds coming from downstairs, which sounded like…
Is that Mrs. Husson? Did she come here?
Ruka was excited. She rushed down the stairs at once, but when she saw the old couple who were sitting on the couch, her heart trembled slightly. She did not expect to see Harold here either.
Ren was seated opposite them. It looked like Charlotte and Harold had only just arrived and the three of them were discussing something.
“You’re up, Ruka? Come and take a seat.” Charlotte waved her over happily.
Harold was still a little miffed as he threw a glare at Ren. He was satisfied with Ren in every way, except for his love life. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Ren would fall in love with the young woman his sister raised.
Ruka’s mind raced as she stood in front of the old couple. All of a sudden, she covered her mouth with her hand and acted as if she was about to throw up. She rushed to the nearby trashcan and pretended to vomit.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell, Ruka?” Charlotte exclaimed in shock.
Ren cast a worried look at her too. Did she get a cold from keeping the air-conditioning on at a low temperature last night?
Harold was staring in concern as well. Ruka exhaled in relief and shook her head shyly. “No, I’m fine. I’ve just been getting the urge to vomit for the past two days.”
When Charlotte heard this, the wheels in her head started spinning and she cried out excitedly, “Could it be that you’re pregnant?”
Harold’s eyes lit up as well. Was he going to have a grandchild so soon?
Ren secretly sighed in relief, and at the same time, his lips curved into a smile. Ruka’s acting was pretty good.
