Chapter 151: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (15)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (15) ༻

A girl in love sees the world differently.

There were no exceptions to this. Of course, Emma herself was no different.

About a month ago, Emma fell in love with a guy. Since then, her daily life took quite the turn.

It was around the time that final exams had wrapped up.

After being buried in books all day, Emma finally had some free time. Under normal circumstances, she might have focused more on alchemical formulas or potion recipes.

But these days, she would often zone out in her workshop, lost in thought.

And she’d usually be thinking about just one person.

Ian Percus, the guy who was once a friend now became Emma’s first love.

He was also her benefactor who pulled her back from the edge of death. He sacrificed a demonic beast’s body worth more than 10,000 gold coins, saving her from grave danger.

The memory of seeing him for the first time after waking from that comatose state often came to her mind. Every time she recalled that moment, her heart would race uncontrollably.

Emma had cried out, insisting she wasn’t worth it, that she was nothing more than a lowly commoner girl. But Ian showed no signs of regret.

Instead, he urged her to live and to be happy. His voice seemed devoid of any ulterior motives.

He was sincere. Maybe that’s why, since that day, Emma began to be true to her own feelings too.

She genuinely fell in love with Ian.

For Emma, who only used to find joy in concocting new potions in her workshop, the sudden appearance of a guy in her life was unexpected.

From that day on, her way of thinking changed.

Before, she would always consider the cost when making her potions.

Though she received a scholarship from the academy, being from a commoner background meant she always had to live on a tight budget.
