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

Chapter 1090:

“Don’t worry. With me here, the fears you have won’t come to pass.”

Harlee had already been in touch with Tonya, who was scheduled to arrive in Asmain the following afternoon, likely when Rhys would be conscious. That would be the perfect time for Tonya to assess his condition.noveldrama

“Alright,” Christopher said, realizing he couldn’t persuade Harlee to change her mind.

The following afternoon arrived.

Tonya reached their location an hour and a half earlier than expected.

Christopher led her into Rhys’ room, where Harlee was carefully adjusting the blanket over him.

Noticing their entrance, Harlee raised a finger to her lips, signaling for silence, before quietly exiting the room. She took Tonya by the hand and led her to the living room.

“Take a moment to relax. You’ve just arrived,” Harlee suggested gently.

Tonya nodded subtly.

“I’m not worn out, but I’m afraid assessing Rhys’ condition is beyond my abilities.”

As Tonya spoke, her expression grew more troubled, clearly surprised by her initial observations.

Harlee had been cryptic over the phone, urgently summoning Tonya to Asmain without revealing the full details of Rhys’ poisoning.

From her quick assessment, Tonya could tell that the toxin had deeply infiltrated Rhys’ system. Setting aside the possibility of creating an antidote, completely removing the poison from Rhys’ body was already an enormous challenge. Unless…

Tonya’s mind sifted through various treatment options, finally settling on traditional tactics. If only there had been a mythical golden insect, carefully nurtured over years with rare elixirs…

However, Tonya quickly abandoned that thought. She lacked the skills to cultivate such creatures.

Furthermore, the only specialist she had ever known had passed away two years earlier.

As for others who might have mastered the craft, an elder from a long-standing family had once mentioned that the expertise of nurturing such organisms had vanished with her generation. The younger members of her lineage barely understood the basics. This method offered a fragile hope, but it was also a cruel dead end for Rhys.

Tonya’s forehead creased in concern.

After reviewing the medical files Christopher had provided, she realized Rhys’ condition had deteriorated to a point dangerously close to the threshold of no return.

Seeing Harlee’s hopeful expression, Tonya forced herself to remain composed. She murmured, “I can try. There’s no guarantee, but I’ll at least attempt to figure something out…”

Bang! Before Tonya could finish speaking, a loud noise erupted from Rhys’ bedroom.

Harlee’s heart raced as she sprinted for the door, bursting into the room.

Tonya and Christopher hurried after her. When they entered, they were met with a terrifying sight: Rhys had Harlee by the neck, his face expressionless, while hers turned red as she struggled for breath.

“Stay back…” Harlee managed to rasp through her coughing, barely able to speak. She reached up, placing a hand gently on Rhys, and whispered, “Rhys, it’s me…” She tried to use her voice to pull him back from the edge.

Rhys’ eyes, which had been tightly shut, snapped open, and a chilling gaze swept over her. Without hesitation, he flung her aside.

Harlee was sent flying across the room, slamming against the wall with a bone-rattling impact before collapsing to the floor.
