Chapter 56 Thankless

• *Sylvester’s POV*
• I found myself compelled to discipline Stradanie. Never before had I experienced such ingratitude for my kindness. Yet, as I observed her sleeping peacefully, a sense of tenderness encased me, prompting me to draw closer to her.
• At that moment, she seemed so small and fragile, as if I could tuck her away in my pocket and carry her with me wherever I went. As my hand glided over her delicate arm, I could see the aftereffects of my anger.
