[Bonus chapter]I Want To Be With You

The moment Drayce saw those panicking purple eyes, he immediately pulled her out of the water. 

With a heavy gasp, she coughed violently, fighting for breath to make up for the lack of oxygen. 

Cough! Cough!

"Seren?" Drayce gently called her name as he scooped her in his embrace. He immediately got her out of the bathtub, not minding that his clothes too were drenched with water. 

The veiled woman didn't know what was going on as she continued to cough violently, and Drayce simply waited till she calmed herself, affectionately rubbing her back to help her ease down. The two elderly ladies felt relieved to see Seren finally awake. Though what Drayce did was unconventional, it worked to wake her up without hurting her.
