The Fourth Life She Guarded Me Chapter 21
The moment I heard that, I collapsed.
I dropped hard and fast, as if I truly couldn’t hold on any longer.
She could record all she wanted.
I was the one who had just torn apart half a snake-vine forest.
If I now claimed my life force was nearly depleted, no one could argue.
Lani was livid.
“Meredith, stop pretending! You still have strength! Come save me!”
I lay on the ground with my eyes shut tight.
She had threatened me. Why would I save her now?
Lani had no choice.
Seeing how thoroughly I was playing dead, she understood I wouldn’t help.
So she had no choice but to bring out her last resort.
A teleportation scroll.

She just had no idea how difficult Drake’s old injury was to heal.
The instant Lani called Drake over, Locke and Kieran’s faces both went white.
Drake grabbed her hand.
“Lani, I knew you cared about me the most. I won’t let you down.”
Lani said nothing.
She had abandoned the other two, and her mood was obviously sour.
She shot me a hateful glare and was just about to tear open the scroll—
