He nodded a little awkwardly. “I sent her home.”
Ruka didn’t ask any more questions. From the half-closed door, she heard the doctor instruct, “Sir, you should pay attention to your body and take hot showers as much as possible.”
“How did you know that I was taking cold showers?” Ren asked huffily.
“I guessed. Otherwise, it’s impossible for your body to get such a high fever all of a sudden. If you have time, sir, you should find a proper girlfriend instead of always working!” The doctor smiled, brushing over the topic.
Ren chided with a smile, “Silas, you should mind your own business.” “You leave me with no choice. I didn’t want to make a trip in the middle of the night in this cold weather to give you an IV drip either.” Silas obviously had a good relationship with Ren, and he began teasing him very naturally.
As Ruka listened to their banter, her beautiful eyes widened slightly. This man still took a cold shower in this weather? However, what did taking a cold shower have to do with getting a girlfriend? Soon after, she figured it out, and her face turned red in an instant.
When she entered the room again, the IV drip needle had already been removed from Ren, and he was pressing onto his wound with a cotton swab while the doctor next to him, Silas, was packing his medical box. Ruka stood by his bed with worry in her eyes.
“All right, I’ll be leaving first. I’ll be back tomorrow at ten.” After Silas finished speaking, he said to Ruka, “Miss Singed, please take care of him. If he still has a high fever, you can use alcohol to help him cool down physically, and then let me know.” After speaking, he put down a bottle of alcohol. “I prepared this. Just use a towel and wipe it onto him.”
Ruka hurriedly nodded. “All right. I’ll definitely take good care of him.”
“Oh, right. Remember to let him take this medicine later.” Silas placed the prescribed medicine on the table. “He has to take it again in four hours.”
Saying that, Silas turned his attention to the man in bed. “We’ll be leaving first.”
“Okay. I won’t see you out,” Ren replied.
After Ruka sent Silas out, he informed Elijah of the situation, and the two headed downstairs while chatting. Ruka followed them downstairs as well to bring Ren a glass of warm water to take with his medicine. Then, Elijah her again that she should call him as soon as possible if anything happened and gave her his number.
Once she had sent them away and prepared a glass of water, Ruka rushed back upstairs.
Ren had already gotten out of bed. With a gray robe with golden lining wrapped around his tall figure, he looked like a member of royalty.
