Chapter 722 Leave It to Me

Finished

Draven knew Ayla had already been pushed to her limit. He spoke in a low voice to comfort her. “Ayla, do you know something? You have a thriving career. You’re optimistic and strong, and you always have confidence in life. You know how to live well, and you treat your friends kindly. I know what a good person you are. The only difference between you and Troy is power and influence. That isn’t something you can overcome just through hard work. So leave this matter to me. I can handle it, because I’m not inferior to him.”

If it had been anyone else facing Troy, it would have been a devastating disaster.

In the past, Draven had simply not been ruthless enough. The personality he had developed earlier in life had also led him to make wrong decisions. But now, he would not make those mistakes again.

He would protect Ayla.

He swore he would never see Ayla collapse like this again. It hurt him more than anything.

Ayla’s fingers tightened even more on his shirt. “This whole mess was caused by you and Troy. He forced the children into existence, and you stole my babies. You have to help me. You have to!”

If she could not protect her own children, then she would find someone powerful enough to do it.

She hated being so passive and needing to ask someone else for help.

Damn it.

Troy deserves to rot.

He always managed to push her into a corner, leaving her desperate and humiliated. Only when he saw her suffering did he feel satisfied.

How could a scumbag like that have once shown mercy and saved her? Had Troy completely lost his mind back then? Ayla almost wished Troy had never met her at all. Even if he had not saved her, she might not have drowned. There had been other people out on the ocean.

“Ayla, I know. I’ll take responsibility for everything. I’ll see it through to the end,” Draven said.

Ayla’s voice trembled. “Draven… can I trust you now?”

Can you really do it?

Hearing her say that made Draven’s heart feel like it was breaking. The four months he had spent ignoring her had become the greatest regret of his life. “Ayla, can you promise me one thing right now?”

Ayla listened to the sound of his heartbeat. “What is it?”

Draven could not help but pull her even closer against him. “From this moment until you recover from your illness, I want you to focus all your energy on eating well, sleeping well, and resting. Put everything else aside.”

Tears streamed down Ayla’s face as she gave a self–mocking smile. “I can’t do that.”

Draven asked softly, “Why?”

Ayla closed her eyes in pain. “Ever since my mom passed away, I’ve had to walk every road on my own. I can’t stop, and I’m too afraid to stop.”

Draven’s heart clenched painfully. Ayla had once mentioned her family situation to him briefly, and it had already broken his heart back then. “It’s okay. I’ll slow down with you. I’ll stay by your side,” he said gently. Then he added, “Right now, anything I say probably doesn’t have much credibility. Just watch what I do. When the day comes that you’re willing to believe me, then believe me.”

Ayla wanted to rely on him, but she was also afraid to rely on him.

Troy was like a massive shadow that always loomed over her life. Now he was threatening her with the children. If the children ended up in Troy’s hands, Ayla was truly terrified.

She would rather have the children cared for by Draven than have them taken away by Troy.

Once Ayla had children, she also had a weakness. Facing Troy’s power and his obsessive, unhinged personality, she had reached a dead end. She had no choice but to grab onto Draven as her lifeline.

Draven, you’ve better not disappoint me.

The destruction caused by the rivalry between you and Troy has to be paid for by someone.

The one suffering should not be her. Someone else should bear it.

After being provoked by Troy, Ayla finally calmed down. Once the medicine began to take effect, she felt extremely tired and soon fell asleep.

While she was sleeping, Ayla developed a fever.

Draven woke her up. She took fever medicine and some emergency medication, then drifted back to sleep

slept, Ayla vaguely felt someone touching her forehead again and again. The touch felt cool and forting.

with she finally woke up, the first thing she saw was a pair of deep, cold eyes. Draven. The moment he realized she was awake, the coldness in his gaze quickly faded and turned gentle. “How do you feel?”

Ayla covered her forehead and slowly sat up. “How long did I sleep?”

“Two hours.” Draven placed his hand on her forehead. “Good. The fever’s gone down. The doctor said it might come back, so you need to rest properly and relax your mind.”

His voice sounded like he was comforting a child.
