Chapter 1356:

Harlee hadn’t anticipated such consideration from them. Truly, the Fletcher family was no good. What if they sought to exploit this situation?

“Okay, I’ve got it. I’ll handle it later,” Harlee said with a nod before turning to Robbie. “How are Valentin and his family holding up?”

Rhys leaned against the RV, his gaze fixed on Harlee as she managed everything. His expression grew tense as he thought inwardly, “Why must Harlee carry all these burdens alone?”

At Harlee’s question, Robbie glanced at Serena, his face clouded with concern. “Harlee, the situation for Valentin and Lydia isn’t promising. According to Goodwin, Valentin’s time is limited, and Lydia is struggling with severe psychological issues.”

This was why Goodwin had opted to focus on treating Rhett, who had a better chance of recovery.

Harlee looked over at Rhys, who let out a scoff and headed straight for another black car. “We’re off to the hospital and then back to Baythorn.” Rhys couldn’t bear the thought of Harlee staying in the disastrous Vloustin City for even one more day. Baythorn was a safer option. In Baythorn, even if he couldn’t sway Harlee, perhaps her parents and five older brothers could.

Harlee glanced at Robbie and Serena, and with a slight smile, she followed Rhys, finding his demeanor irresistibly adorable. It was evident he wanted to support her decisions, yet he deliberately put on an act that screamed otherwise. Such contrast only added to his charm.

Outside the emergency room at Bellflower Hospital in Vloustin City, the remaining members of the Fletcher family were dispersed.

Vera Fletcher, Rhett’s wife, was seated on a chilly bench, her hands joined in constant prayer for the success of the surgery. Valentin and his wife were also positioned outside the emergency room.

This arrangement was Valentin’s own doing. He wished that at least one of them would pull through.

Harlee and Rhys approached the emergency room, hand in hand. The Fletcher family members turned their gazes toward them but shifted their focus to Serena as soon as she appeared.

Serena’s life had been more successful than that of any member of the Fletcher family. Her kindness hadn’t faded over the last decade. She supported the Fletcher family without resentment and even visited them in the hospital.

The Fletcher family members felt a deeper sense of shame and pondered if they should disclose the events of the past.

Vera rose from the bench, anxious yet hesitant to speak as she looked at Serena.

“Robbie,” Harlee said in a steady tone.

Robbie promptly stepped up and began clearing the area. “Everyone except Valentin and Lydia needs to keep their distance and allow the patients enough room.”

Upon hearing this, Vera and her relatives did not protest and immediately retreated several steps.

Rhys, casually draping his arm around Harlee’s waist, eased himself onto the bench and gently pulled her onto his lap before leaning back comfortably.

Harlee attempted to get up, but Rhys gently held her in place. With no other option, she remained seated while giving orders. She directed her gaze at Serena and instructed, “Ensure a thorough examination.”

“Understood!” Serena gave a small nod, her expression stoic, as she moved toward Lydia. Having just been sedated by a doctor, Lydia was relatively calm.
