Chapter 723 The Brothers‘ War
Ayla’s heart jumped heavily.
“Get up and cat,” Draven said as he looked at her. “When you’re sick, you need even more nutrition.”
Ayla didn’t move. The way Draven took care of her was something she could no longer acce as naturally as she used to.
And two hours earlier, she had completely lost control of her emotions. Just thinking about made her feel deeply embarrassed.
If she hadn’t been sick, she would never have broken down like that when facing Troy’s thre
Damn it.
People really shouldn’t get sick.
Everything about them became weaker.
Ayla was truly afraid of showing weakness in front of anyone. Whenever that happened, she i into self–disgust and overwhelming shame.
This was something she might never fully come to terms with for the rest of her life.
And Draven had seen everything. Even when they were dating in the past, she had rarely complained to him about her hardships. Right now, Ayla wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. She couldn’t even relate to the person she had been two hours ago.
“When I was sleeping, were you taking care of me the whole time?” Ayla asked as she looked into his eyes.
“You were sick. Of course I had to stay by your side,” Draven replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Ayla already knew the answer. “If you treat me this well, be careful it doesn’t end up being for nothing.”
Right now Draven didn’t care about getting anything in return. He looked at her seriously. “As long as you stay healthy. I’m not asking for you to be happy every single day. If you can just go through fewer miserable things in life, that’s enough for me.”
Ayla frowned. “You don’t need to do this…”
“Yes, I do, Ayla. I’m one of the reasons you’re suffering right now. I was the one who forcibly

took the children, and Troy said those things because he was pushed into a corner. So I sh treat you well, and I should take responsibility for everything. You’re sick, so I take care of That’s only right,” Draven said.
Ayla listened to his explanation. In the past, he wouldn’t have said so much. Now he explain everything to her carefully. Strangely enough, after hearing Draven explain things again an again, she gradually accepted the fact that he was taking care of her.
“Alright. I’ll leave Troy’s situation to you.”
Ayla wasn’t the type who stubbornly forced herself to handle everything alone. The gap between her and Troy couldn’t be overcome through effort. Whoever had the ability should deal with it.

The rage surged through him. He clenched the glass in his hand so tightly that it cracked.
Herman stood nearby, watching nervously. He wondered whether he should tell Ayla about Draven’s habit of taking his anger out on himself. Since Ayla already knew about what had happened with Jeremy, she probably wouldn’t be shocked to learn it.
It was as if Draven could hear what Herman was thinking. He looked at the broken glass in his hand and warned in a low voice, “Herman, don’t tell Ayla about this.”
“But you can’t keep hurting yourself like this. I really can’t stand watching it anymore. I can’t convince you to stop. Only Ayla might be able to,” Herman said anxiously.
“Ayla is several years younger than us. We should be the ones taking care of her, not the other way around.”
“But…”
“There is no ‘but.‘ I know what I’m doing.” Draven had always been like this. He needed everything to stay under his control, just like the exact spot where he had stabbed Jeremy with that knife, precise down to the slightest bit.
him, this kind of thing wasn’t worth worrying about.
fter sitting in silence for a while, Draven picked up his phone and called Troy.
The phone rang for a long time before Troy finally answered.
Troy waited for several seconds without hearing Draven speak. Eventually he lost patience. “Did you call because you want trouble?”
Draven’s gaze turned dark. “Troy, do you really feel no concern for Ayla at all?”
Perhaps Troy felt a moment of guilt, because he exploded immediately. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
“I actually met Ayla long before you
did.”
“What? That’s impossible.” Troy let out a cold laugh. “Draven, you stole my children and took my woman. Now you’re trying to make excuses for yourself? You’re just a bastard who covets everything I have.”
