Chapter 1241:

In the VIP ward’s living room, Rhys sat exhausted on the sofa. As Lonnie and Skyla exited, he attempted to rise.

Skyla promptly eased him back down. “You don’t have to stand on ceremony with us. Please, sit and rest.”

Rhys offered a weak smile and responded, “Thank you.”

When the Sanderson family arrived, Rhys had been anxious they might oppose his relationship with Harlee again, given his past actions that had inadvertently caused her pain. However, to his relief, Lonnie, Skyla, and Harlee’s brothers didn’t reject him. They welcomed him as part of the family.

Rhys later found out that this shift in the Sanderson family’s attitude was influenced by Tonya. She had advocated for him, sharing details of his efforts over the last three years and clarifying the events that had unfolded.

Skyla let out a deep sigh. “The loss of Tonya and those young men… It’s utterly devastating. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes, and Harlee must be feeling it even more deeply.”

Lonnie also sighed. “Harlee might not express it, but she’s holding onto her grief. Tonya was more important to her than anyone else.”

Although it was unspoken among the Sanderson family, they all recognized that their bond with Harlee, no matter how strong, couldn’t compare to her connection with Tonya.

Brenton stood there, looking somber. “They say that too much grief can be harmful to one’s health. She’s already so gravely injured… I’m worried her recovery might take a long time.”

Rhys quickly replied, “I’ll do everything in my power to make her happy again.”

“I’m afraid that won’t be so simple,” Skyla said, shaking her head. As Harlee’s mother, she knew Harlee hadn’t truly moved past her grief, regardless of how well she masked it.

Rhys said nothing, pondering ways to reintroduce joy into Harlee’s life. He was determined to see her happy again.

Over an hour later, the Sanderson family was still in the living room, discussing various topics but inevitably circling back to Harlee. Worry was evident on every face.

Concerned that this might overwhelm Harlee, Rhys suggested, “It’s getting late. You should head home and rest. I’ll stay with her tonight.”

Skyla was about to object, claiming they weren’t tired, but a look at Rhys made her eyes wander toward Harlee’s room. She sighed once more. Harlee always avoided imposing on others. When Rhys had his incident three years ago, she kept all her emotions bottled up, which eventually led to her depression.

Reflecting on this, Skyla relented. “Alright, we’ll head home now. We’ll return in the morning.”

Skyla took Lonnie’s hand and stood up. As Brenton and the others began to object, she quieted them with a stern look.

As they exited, Kareem hung back and quietly informed Rhys, “Baldrick has resigned in disgrace.”

Rhys remained expressionless. Would Baldrick’s resignation change anything? The past couldn’t be undone.

Kareem paused, deciding against any defense of Baldrick. He understood that if roles were reversed, forgiveness wouldn’t come easily.

Harlee was a light sleeper. She woke up as soon as Rhys opened the door. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him lying next to her, clutching something in his hand.

Rhys was propped on his side next to her, carefully helping her to sit up.
