Chapter 1081:

Facing these hurdles only stiffened her resolve. She planned to search every possible place in the country before considering locations overseas.

As evening settled, Harlee lay in her hospital bed, Tonya’s arms gently around her waist. They were both silent.

Suddenly, Tonya sat up sharply.

“Harlee, how did you first meet Rhys?”

Tonya had a sense that Rhys might have picked a place with special significance to both Harlee and himself to spend his remaining time.

Upon hearing this, Harlee also sat up and began to recount their initial encounter, a tender smile spreading across her face.

“Later, I took them to a hospital in Asmain.

His grandpa, half-asleep, thought I was Nicola. I just had to stay until his surgery was done…”

Harlee fondly revisited the memories, a joyful expression lighting up her face. Then, her eyes brightened, and she clapped her hands together.

“That’s it—Asmain! How could I have overlooked that?”

“What do you mean? Harlee, are you suggesting Rhys might be in Asmain?” Tonya grasped her hand, her excitement palpable.

“It’s very possible!” Harlee responded confidently.

“Back then, his grandpa expressed regret for never trying bungee jumping and suggested that Rhys and I fulfill that wish. It was meant to bring us closer.

After much convincing, I agreed. Our bungee jump was tandem, and it became our first real moment of closeness.”

Time had erased many details, and Harlee had nearly forgotten that pivotal first encounter.

Tonya wasted no time. While Harlee recounted the story, she was already booking a flight for the following morning.

“Flying yourself would be too exhausting. You’ll need all your strength to search for Rhys once you’re there, so I’ve booked a private flight for you.”

Seeing the gratitude in Harlee’s eyes, Tonya playfully pinched her cheek.

“Alright, I know you’re thankful, but let’s focus on finding Rhys first.”

“Don’t worry. No matter what poison he’s battling, I’ll bring him back, even if it means pulling him from the brink of death!” Tonya added confidently, tapping her chest.

Harlee nodded firmly. She had full faith in Tonya’s medical expertise.

Even if the poison was incurable, Tonya would find a way—just as Anika had done—to devise a treatment that could extend Rhys’ life.

Three days later, Harlee returned to the bungee jumping site where she and Rhys had shared their first meaningful moment.

On her first day in Asmain, Harlee rushed to the location, eager to find any clues. Unfortunately, she found nothing of value.

Convinced that Rhys was nearby, she returned the next day, spending the entire day at the site, searching through every possible location. Once again, there was no progress. She even showed Rhys’ photo to the staff, but everyone had the same response. No one recognized him or had seen him.

Tonya had urged Harlee to consider giving up, arguing that if Rhys truly wanted to vanish, finding him would be nearly impossible.
