Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 1101:

Earlier, upon regaining consciousness, Rhys had initially reacted defensively. Spotting a baseball bat, he had seized it, ready to strike Tonya, the woman trying to examine him.

Harlee—her subtle, crisp scent still lingering in the air—had endured the hit and then embraced him tightly, murmuring, “Ree, you’re finally awake. I knew we’d have all the time in the world. Thank you for holding on. I love you.” The memory of her warm embrace softened his defenses.

“Do I truly love her?” Rhys asked, filled with doubt.

Tonya met his gaze squarely, offering a probing look.

“You need to answer that question for yourself, not me.” Tonya had no way of figuring out if Rhys’ love for Harlee was genuine. What she did understand was that Harlee seemed happier with him around, and her hope was for their mutual happiness.

Rhys’ expression grew thoughtful.

As Tonya finished calibrating the medical equipment, she reassured him, “Remember, she is someone you can rely on completely.

Even if you doubt me or my skills as a doctor, you should never doubt her.”

Rhys chose not to dwell further on the topic of Harlee and instead shifted the focus, saying briskly, “Proceed with the examination.”

Despite the unfamiliarity surrounding him, Rhys decided to place his trust in the people around him.

He was eager to discover if his former self—before amnesia—matched the descriptions others had given him.

In the study, Jose was reviewing a stack of papers that Harlee had gathered about therapeutic insects, his expression a mix of deep concentration and skepticism. Incredible! The proposed treatment sounded absurd.

How could insects be used inside the human body to extract toxins? It seemed more like the plot of a sci-fi film.

However, after reflecting on it, Jose found himself appreciating Harlee’s radical approach. Without her daring ideas, he might never have reconnected with his son.

His face showed an intense blend of emotions—relief, gratitude toward Harlee, and simmering resentment aimed at Anika.

“Harlee, with my father’s health failing more each year, let’s keep this information between us for now,” Jose said gravely.

As his father had aged significantly due to his own health struggles, Jose was reluctant to stress him further, risking more hospital visits.

“Understood,” Harlee replied.

Harlee had carefully weighed the pros and cons of disclosing Rhys’ situation to Jose. She was torn between protecting her family and the Green family from worry and the concern that they might not fully appreciate the depth of Rhys’ sacrifices for her, possibly still harboring resentment toward him.

When Robbie went to the Sanderson family estate to retrieve the mystical golden insects, Harlee convened an online family meeting. With poise, she detailed everything Rhys had done on her behalf over the last three years, including his arrangement for Noel to take care of her.

The Sanderson family was taken aback. They had never imagined that Rhys would bear so much in silence for their beloved Harlee. Understanding his condition—that he was poisoned and expected to live less than three months—melted their indignation, and they genuinely forgave him.
