Chapter 553 - Keep It From Rui (2/2)

”Alright… I understand. Oh my God, Rui will be so happy, I know for sure.” Yera murmured.

”Hey, why are you two whispering?” Xander interrupted with knitted brows as he and Rui approached Cali's bed.

”Nothing…” Cali said and quickly wiped her tears.

Rui sat beside Cali and grabbed her hands.

”We will leave you two lovebirds alone now…” Yera commented.

”But we just arrived,” Xander complained but Yera immediately pulled him out of the room.

”They will remove the dextrose soon. You've been sleeping for almost twenty-four hours, I got so scared…” Rui said.

”Where's Candice?” Cali asked.

”She's at the scene with the elite force, doing some cleaning. They actually found some remains and bones of victims in the secret bas.e.m.e.nt. Some of Edward's victims from this country, Rui further explained. I do not know what I would've done Cali if by any chance I happened to lose you…” Rui stated, his eyes glistened with tears.

Cali cupped his face in her hands and said, ”If anything bad happens to me… I want you to continue moving forward… I will be happy if you will move on and find another love of your life…”

Rui's face crumpled as he scolded, ”Let's not talk about all that rubbish. All that's important is that you're safe now…”

”I would like to talk to Candice. I'm not sure if I'm hallucinating but I saw Edward turn into something, something so scary… he's not human Rui...”

”You're hallucinating,” Candice, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, interrupted them.

”You see, Edward, injected something in your body when he abducted you. It's some drug that can make you hallucinate…” Cali explained with a wide smile. She had a paper bag of sweets that she handed over to Rui.

”How are you?” Candice asked her with a wink.

”I'm better now… Thank you for rescuing me. I heard your voice before I totally lost consciousness.” Cali said with a smile.

”I told you. I will not let anything happen to you or else Rui here would hunt me down to the ends of the earth. You see, he threatened me big time…” Candice snorted.

”As if I will ever get scared of him,” Candice added with a wink.

The nurse arrived to remove the dextrose from Cali's IV.

”Are you finally leaving us alone?” Rui whispered with a grin.

Candice's eyebrows lifted as she said, ”Is that how you'll thank me?”

Rui laughed and reiterated, ”Well you can stay with us as long as you want but on the condition that you will sleep in your own room from now on. Also, don't be too clingy with Cali.”

Candice's face twitched as she mumbled, ”Maybe you'd prefer me being more clingy to you then, huh?”

”Youuu…” Rui beamed but Candice only sniggered at him before she walked over to Cali's bed.

He then heaved a long sigh of relief while looking at Cali who was now exchanging pleasantries with Candice. It was so nice to see her smile once again. He felt like he was going crazy since the moment she was abducted.

He still found everything too weird, especially with how Edward managed to abduct Cali as if it was nothing. There was no break-out and even the CCTV footage showed no signs of him at all.

Candice said that it was a very confidential case and the matter would be handled by a special elite force in a very quiet manner. He only hoped this time Cali and he could finally have a normal life together, where the two of them could only focus on their relationship and create more memories together without worrying about anything else.
