Chapter 1354:

Serena stood outside the car, the medical kit in her hands, her posture rigid and unmoving. She waited patiently for Harlee and Rhys to finish their private conversation so she could examine Harlee’s back for any injuries. Yet, time dragged on, and the car door remained locked. Serena glanced at the RV with concern and watched as it suddenly shook violently. What was going on?

Serena’s mouth twitched, her expression shifted, and her eyes grew wide. In disbelief, she murmured, “They… They can’t really be making out, can they?”

The next second, she dismissed the thought, realizing that Harlee was still in her first trimester.

Before Serena could calm her quickened pulse, the RV began to tremble once more.

Reaching her limit, Serena stepped forward. She cleared her throat gently, gathered all her courage, and called out, “Harlee, please be mindful of the baby!”

Right after shouting, Serena felt the heat rush to her ears, quickly spreading to her whole face, making her blush.

Inside the RV, Harlee froze, shocked by the voice coming from outside. Reacting quickly, she kicked Rhys sharply. Rhys had been meant to examine her back for injuries, but his antics had startled her, prompting a reaction that led to Serena’s mistaken concern. Even the typically composed Serena couldn’t help but express her worries, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

With a sly grin, Rhys moved closer again, only to receive another sharp kick to the gut from Harlee. She clenched her fist and said, “Cut it out! Serena is still waiting outside!”

Rhys shrugged casually, “I wasn’t at fault. Her thoughts were elsewhere.”

“Move to that side!” Harlee nearly kicked him again.

Suppressing her frustration, Harlee quickly changed her clothes and warned Rhys, “Stay in the RV and think about your actions!”

Harlee inhaled deeply, then slowly opened the RV door.

As soon as the door opened, Harlee saw Serena standing nearby, her face showing surprise.

Harlee scratched her head awkwardly and exhaled slowly before stepping out of the vehicle, trying to appear casual.

Upon seeing Harlee emerge so soon after the warning, a wave of disbelief and fear surged through Serena. Rhys had been so quick. Had she accidentally walked in on them, causing Rhys to stop abruptly? Would Rhys silence her to keep her quiet?

In the brief time it took for Harlee to leave the RV, Serena’s mind raced through various scenarios where she might meet her end.

At the sound of Harlee’s soft cough, Serena was jolted back to reality and nervously called out, “Harlee?”

Harlee made an effort to seem composed and said, “Rhys had just checked my back for any injuries. My back is fine. There’s no need for you to apply any medicine.”

She then added casually, “Tell Robbie we need a bigger RV next time. This one’s too cramped, and Rhys can barely move around with his long legs.”

Serena finally relaxed. So, the car shook earlier because Rhys struggled to move around with his long legs. She nodded quietly, her cheeks reddening as she recalled her earlier warning. “Harlee, I…”

Harlee gave Serena’s shoulder a comforting pat silently. She turned instead to Robbie, who had just walked up, and asked, “What’s the current situation?”

Harlee felt that by maintaining a composed facade, she wouldn’t be the only one feeling awkward.

Shortly after Harlee’s question, Rhys emerged from the RV, looking relaxed and carefree.

“Hello, Rhys,” Serena said, her voice tinged with nervousness, her gaze lowered.
