Chapter 570 Not That Weak
“Thank you.”
Cassia knew the words were unnecessary, but she still wanted to say them.
Hearing that, Draven couldn’t help but feel both amused and helpless.
He was the one hurting her. He was the one who should’ve apologized first.
And yet she was the one thanking him.
Draven held Cassia and gave her a faint smile.
He hoped that one day, everything he did for her would feel natural to her.

He didn’t want her to feel the need to thank him anymore because he wouldn’t be an outsider to her.
“You’re welcome. And…I’m sorry…”
Gradually, Cassia’s condition started to improve.
But her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and with her body already pushed to its limit, the exhaustion took over. She couldn’t fight it and soon fell asleep.
The night was cool and still. Draven lay on the bed, one hand covering his forehead, staring up at the ceiling in a daze.
Thinking back on what had just happened, it felt both real and unreal.
They were wild and out of control…
She once said he was different from other men, that he gave off the feeling of a refined gentleman, calm and composed.
At that thought, Draven let out a quiet, self–mocking chuckle.
A gentleman?
He knew very well that maybe he was, to everyone else. But to Cassia, he definitely wasn’t.
Because every time he saw her, his mind would go blank.
He turned his head to look at her.
Her face was still a little flushed.
Back when he visited her condominium, he had wanted to stay the night in her room.

Now she was the one staying in his room….
Tonight, his wish had come true.
He felt happy, and at the same time, a quiet sweetness settled in his chest.

Watching her lying on her side, facing him, staying in the same position for a long time without moving…
Has she fallen asleep?
Seeing how peacefully she slept, the tension he’d been holding onto finally eased.
Draven sat up, careful not to make any noise. He wrapped the blanket loosely around himself and walked out barefoot.
After getting a glass of water in the kitchen, he returned to the room and pulled the silk blanket over her.
Through the whole process, she didn’t stir at all.
Poor thing. She must’ve been completely exhausted tonight, Draven thought to himself.
His dark gaze shifted, landing on her slightly parted lips.
From this angle, he could just make out the tip of a small canine tooth peeking through.
Adorable.
His throat moved again instinctively.
“Mmm…” In her sleep, she let out a soft murmur, her delicate brows knitting together slightly.
To him, it felt like a silent invitation. Dangerously tempting.
“Hah…” Draven let out a slow, heavy breath.
A few seconds later…
He leaned down, drawing close to her.
That night, he slept well.
As for the next day…
When Cassia woke up, it was already noon.
The moment she woke, her whole body felt weak and drained, like a sponge that had been soaked full and then completely wrung dry, leaving her light and unsteady.
She turned her head to the side
The man who should’ve been lying next to her was gone.

She pulled back the blanket and got out of bed, her calves trembling slightly as she stood.

Looking at how weak she was, Cassia couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, thinking that if the people from The Crows, Nicole, or Richard saw her like this, their jaws would probably hit the floor.
Suddenly, she remembered what happened last night.
That night felt like a dream.
When Draven held her, it felt like she was lying in a vast green field, looking up at blue skies and drifting clouds, a gentle breeze brushing over the grass, rippling through it in soft waves before carrying the scent of fresh greenery across her face.
It was light, sweet, and cool.
The low, husky sound of his breathing was like a deep, magnetic rhythm, pulling at her senses.
It was so bold and intense, yet at the same time, so gentle and lingering.
