The Fourth Life She Guarded Me Chapter 07
Everything went black. I was completely unconscious.
In my dreams, I saw it all again—my three previous lives.
I had braved countless dangers to find the legendary dragonbreath herb that finally cured Drake’s old injury.
Only then could he properly use his power.
The next day, he wounded me gravely and left me for Lani.
He said I was too dull, too boring, not worthy of him.
When he said that, he looked at me as if I were trying to ensnare him with a few scraps of kindness.
In his eyes, I hadn’t saved him out of affection; I had invested in him because he was a valuable asset.
When he was injured, he always liked to tell me how powerful he would be in the future.
I didn’t care for empty talk. I only cared about results.
Every time he launched into his grand plans, I thought it was premature.
At the time, he couldn’t even cast the simplest wind blade, yet he was already talking about becoming a dragon king.
I never laughed at him.
I just focused on finding medicine for him and treating his wounds.
But in his eyes, my refusal to praise his fantasies made me boring and wooden.

He wanted the most gorgeous coats, the most eye-catching accessories.
He hated how plainly I dressed.
He said standing next to him cheapened his image.Â
