My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1351
“L‘11 look into this and make sure nothing like this happens after the election.” Richard got up and was about to leave.
Scarlet got up as well and held his hand with concern. “Be careful, Richard. Your uncle‘s hurt. I don‘t want anything to happen to you either.”
Richard nodded. “I‘ll be careful. Stay with uncle. Call me when he wakes up.”
“Okay.” She let his hand go, but still she was worried.
The long night finally came to an end, and the crime scene was already cleaned up. All that was left was the charred ground and some shards. The place was cordoned off, and the cops said this was nothing but a car crash.
Nobody knew an assassination just happened the night before.
Ruka was reading a book on the balcony of the residence early in the morning, but she kept spacing out. Her attention was not on the book. She kept checking her phone. Ruka texted him once, but he didn‘t reply. He‘s probably busy with work and didn‘t see it.
Elijah came back to the hospital after spending the night getting interrogated. His head was bandaged. He kept watch on Ren, still looking worried.
The doctor had checked up on him twice. Ren was unconscious because he lost too much blood, but the doctors would also consider other factors as well. They wouldn‘t risk anything here.
The people tending to Ren this time were the director‘s lieutenant and the one he trusted the most. They had to make sure nothing would happen to Ren.
Ren let out a raspy cough and slowly opened his eyes. There was a sense of confusion in his eyes.
“Ren? Ren, are you awake? Ren!” Scarlet held his hand and called out to him anxiously.
Ren blinked and nodded. “I‘m fine, Scarlet.”
“Call the doctor,” Walter told Elijah.
Elijah happily obliged, and Silas was the one who came back with him. Silas had flown straight back the night before, putting his important research aside.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1352
“How do you feel?” Silas asked.
“Feels like something‘s burning.”
“Probably because the bullet scalded your muscles. You‘re lucky the bullet hit your back.” Silas went through the injury report, and his heart skipped a beat. If the bullet hit him just a bit lower, it would have pierced his heart.
“Those slimy b*stards kidnapped a three–year–old girl and used her as a moving target. The girl would have died if Mr. Husson hadn‘t moved quickly enough,” Elijah said. He admired Ren for
his sympathetic side. The man actually blocked a bullet for a child without even hesitating.
“Let‘s stop talking about that. Stay calm until the announcement comes out,” Ren said. The pain on his body was making him frown.
Anyone else would have screamed in pain already. The agony brought by a bullet was not something everyone could endure.
Silas left the room and called Elijah out. “Get someone to tend to him. Someone close to him, preferably. I don‘t trust the hospital staff.”
Scarlet and Walter had gone home. They were getting too old to stay up too late at night.
Oh, I know who can do this. Mr. Husson told me not to tell Ruka about this, but he‘ll feel better if she‘s here.
“I‘ll get someone.” Elijah nodded and left.
He arrived at the Singed Residence an hour later and rang the doorbell. Ruka was in the living room, preparing the ingredients for their next meal with her mother. She said, “I‘ll take it.”
She opened the door and saw Elijah outside, though she was shocked to see him in this state. “What happened to your head, Elijah?”

She opened the door and saw Elijah outside, though she was shocked to see him in this state. “What happened to your head, Elijah?”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1354
Her panic was indescribable, though her reaction portrayed it well. Even though Elijah assured her that Ren was fine, she couldn’t calm down until she saw him herself. She wished time would go faster so she could see him sooner.
When they arrived at the hospital, Ruka went ahead of Elijah. She was running, while Elijah was chasing her with the luggage in tow. Oh god, I‘m wheezing.
“Slow down, Miss Singed. It‘s alright.” He was wheezing like an old man as he told her to slow down.
Ruka turned around and realized that he was already wheezing. Oh, he‘s hurt too. She took the luggage from him apologetically. “Sorry, Elijah. I was really nervous. I forgot you‘re hurt too.
“It‘s fine, but you should calm down as well. Mr. Husson won‘t disappear,” he cracked a joke.
They eventually came to the ward. Silas shushed them. “He‘s asleep. Tread lightly.”
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.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1355
Dubra‘s heart went out to him. All she could do at the moment was stay with him and tend to his
needs at his hour of need.
Ren was asleep for three hours. Eventually, he felt someone holding his hand, and he opened his eyes to see who it was.
When he saw Ruka staring at him in joy with tears in her eyes, he woke up right away.
What? Why is she here? Who brought her here?
“You‘re awake!” She was staring at him this whole time. The moment his eyelashes fluttered, she stood up and stared down at him.
He touched her cheek. Her eyes are puffy. He said raspily, “Don‘t cry, Ruka.”
Ruka wiped her tears away. She denied, “I wasn‘t crying. Don’t worry about me.”
He smiled. Elijah still did it in the end. Still, it‘s nice to see her here.
“Don‘t cry. Since you‘re here, you gotta stay happy,” he said raspily. It was like hearing someone talk with sand in their throat, but Ruka thought it was mesmerizing.
She leaned down and kissed his forehead. “I‘ll stay with you until you‘re all healed up. I‘m not going anywhere else.”
Ren wanted to sit up and talk to her, but he pulled on his shoulder, and he frowned. Ruka pushed him back down gently. “You can‘t get up just yet. The doctor said you‘ll have to lie on your side. And don‘t do anything that‘ll tear your wound.” ;
Ren was a little helpless here. He was frustrated that she saw him in this state.
“Are you shocked?” He lay back down. He had noticed the look on her face. She‘s pale. She must be shocked.
“I‘m alright.” She pushed his hair out of his eyes and looked at him gently. “I‘m not scared of anything as long as I‘m with you.”
Ren smiled. Ruka might look frail, but sometimes even he was impressed by how tough she could be.
Silas and Elijah came in after that. Silas asked Ren how he was feeling. Ren had to actually feel his wound closely to even know if it was hurting.
“You even forgot about your pain just because Miss Singed is here. She‘s even better than painkillers, I see.” Silas smiled.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1356
“I know, right? When Mr. Husson told me to keep this a secret from Ruka, I thought it wasn‘t a good idea. I knew he‘d heal faster with her around,” Elijah said.
Ren shot him a glare. “Elijah, shut your mouth.”
However, it was too late. Ruka looked at Ren angrily. “What? You told Elijah to keep it a secret from me?”
Elijah was a little surprised. Whoops. Didn‘t mean for this to happen, Sir. Sorry.
“I didn‘t want you to worry.”
“And you think I won‘t worry just because you kept it a secret? Ren, of course I‘d be worried unless I get to see you safe and sound. If anything like this happens again, tell me right away. I want to be the first to know,” she said solemnly..
The men were surprised. Oh, she‘s starting to look like a VP‘s wife now.
Elijah scratched his head and excused himself.
Silas excused himself as well after he asked all the necessary questions. He wanted to give the couple some time to themselves.
Even a man like Ren had to be lectured when he did something wrong. They left the job to his girlfriend.
was Ruka was miffed that Ren tried to keep it a secret from her. When she was feeding him some water, she said, “If I find out that you‘re keeping something like this a secret next time, I‘m not taking care of you.”
was Yet, Ren had a happy smile on his face. Apparently, he was fine with getting lectured by Ruka. “Of course. No more secrets,” he promised.
Later, Silas came in with two nurses who helped change the dressing of his wound. Ruka stepped aside. When she saw how severe his wound was, she felt her heart squeeze.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1357
The bandages were taken off, and they started putting disinfectants on the wound. Ruka crouched down and held his hand to help distract him from the pain.
Ren held her hand. He tried his best not to even flinch despite the pain.
The nurses left after they changed the wound dressing. Silas said, “Miss Singed, I‘ll need you to clean his upper body.”
Ruka blushed, but she nodded. “Sure. I‘ll do that right away.”
Ren looked at Silas. Hey, I‘m injured here. I don‘t wanna get a boner when I‘m injured.
Even so, he was looking forward to her cleaning him.
Ruka went and prepared the stuff needed to clean Ren up. She wanted to give him the best service he could get.
She came back with a basin of water and a towel, then thoroughly wiped him off. The lady was so serious, she didn‘t even get any ideas about him. Her eyes were shining with a holy light.
Ren peered at Ruka, his eyes sparkling. He looked at her beautiful eyes, her aquiline nose, and finally, her crimson lips.
He felt his throat tightening up, and he gulped. “My neck next, please,” he said huskily.
Ruka quickly wiped his neck. She was an inch away from him. A smile curled Ren‘s lips as he held her chin and pushed it up. He then pressed his lips against hers.
She stopped breathing for a moment, but she didn‘t back off or refuse the kiss. Ren moved his hand to the back of her head, then he held her neck, pulling her closer for a deeper kiss.
The kiss went on until his chest was heaving and stabs of pain were coming from his wound. He reluctantly accepted that as the end of the kiss, but before they parted lips, he bit her lower lip.
Ruka pursed her lips and looked at him shyly. “Just focus on healing up. Don‘t do anything stupid for now.”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1358
He narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean anything stupid? Care to elaborate?”
She blinked at him and turned around to pick the basin up. “Just don‘t do it.”
Ren heaved a sigh. Darn it. I could have slept with her today. If I get my hands on those b*stards, I‘ll kill them!
Silas came to check in on him. He noticed an increase in Ren‘s heart rate, but then that was possibly because of Ruka coming in close contact with him, so he didn‘t check on that.
Elijah got Ruka a room to make it easier for her to care for Ren while he was down.
A moment later, an important guest turned up in the ward and talked to Ren for half an hour. He
was even more of a bigshot than Ren was, and Ren respected this man a lot.
One good thing that came out of this accident was him getting a month of rest before the election.
“Rest up. I‘ll handle everything. You‘ve worked hard.” The man in his fifties gave people the feeling that he was an aristocrat or royalty. His eyes glinted with wisdom and intellect.
“Your nephew‘s taking over the investigation. I believe he‘ll find the assassins who attacked you. We won‘t let this slide, and I will clear the system of any canker. They will pay for this.”
Ren nodded. “I see. I wish you good luck, sir.”
The man got up and patted his shoulder, then he left. His eight bodyguards formed a human wall around him and escorted him away.
Elijah came in looking all excited. “We‘re getting a break, sir! A whole month of break! Oh my gosh, I‘ve almost forgotten what freedom smells like.”
Elijah took a deep breath. Even the smell of disinfectant tasted like freedom.
Ren was happy as well. He did need some time to himself. After he confessed to Ruka, he hadn‘t had time to be with her, as work overwhelmed him. And now I can spend a whole month with her.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1359
Richard was in a top secret base at the moment. It had the most advanced tracking system installed, and his men were elites among the elites. They were also tracking geniuses.
The men were scanning the HD footage, and Trevor noticed something. He paused it and enlarged the frame. “Sir, his outfit‘s changed, but he forgot to change one thing.” He enlarged the frame and showed the tattoo behind the man‘s ear. “He was the sniper.”
The photos they took at the crime scene showed armed enemies. It was dark and chaotic. The enemies were hiding in the shadows, but thanks to the satellite, they managed to get a glimpse of the enemies. All they had to do was look for details and pinpoint these people‘s location.
“Track him down and arrest him,” Richard ordered.
The range was huge, and this mission was important, but everyone did their work quietly and made reports of their progress. There were about a dozen screens playing security footage here. Richard was in his usual attire-a dark camouflage outfit. He was emanating a commanding aura at the moment.
Patience and an eye for detail were needed for tracking, and his men had these qualities.
The next day came eventually.
Ruka was having lunch with Ren at the hospital. Despite his wounds, he actually had a decent appetite.
“I ordered this for you. You‘ll need it to replenish your blood.”
“Pig liver?” His eyes went wide before he refused, “Innards are not my thing.”
Ruka popped one piece of it into his bowl. “Just eat some. It‘s good for you. You need meds and food to heal up, so stop being picky.”
Ren was frowning. It looked like asking him to gulp down a piece of pig liver was even worse than getting shot.
Ruka bit into one herself. She nodded. “It‘s not bad.”
He had to eat it now no matter what. Surprisingly, the hospital‘s chef was actually decent. It wasn‘t as bad as he thought.
She kept filling his bowl with food, and Ren stopped being picky just to make sure she wasn‘t worried about him.
Ruka took a food platter over and fed the fruits to him after that.
At this rate, I‘m going to gain a few pounds when I‘m all healed.
“Here‘s a cherry. Works wonders for your blood. Have some more.” She fed a cherry to him.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1360
“Blood aside, I think I need to replenish something else.” He ate the cherry and hinted something
else at her.
She met his gaze and understood what he was talking about. She shook her head and peered at him. “Stop thinking about that.”
Ren looked at her angrily. How weak does she think I am? “Do you think I can‘t get it up?” He narrowed his eyes while the air was filled with a hint of danger.
It was like if she said yes, he would prove that he could still get it up. Ren was bothered by that department due to their difference in age. He never had any practice before, but he knew he must be great in bed.
She stared at the ground and blinked, then she shook her head sheepishly.
Ren took a cherry and asked, “Want a cherry?”
Oh, he‘s feeding me. She huddled closer and opened her mouth, but instead of feeding her the cherry, he pressed his lips against hers. The couple was starting to make out in the ward.
Elijah was in a hurry to see Ren so he could get his vacation form signed. In his excitement, he forgot to knock on the door. When he came in, the first thing he saw was the kiss. Oh, darn. I did not have to see that. I‘m still single. Don‘t break my heart.
He noticed the dangerously threatening look Ren was giving him, and Elijah froze. “Sorry. Carry on. Sorry.”
Ruka bit her lip and stared at the bed. “No, come in, Elijah.” And then she left.
