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

Chapter 1033:

Drenched in sweat, Harlee summoned the last ounce of her willpower to glance up. Rhys was rushing toward her, with others battling fiercely to clear his path. So, reinforcements had arrived… That was good… They would be safe…

Harlee closed her eyes, a sense of relief washing over her. Though her bond with Rhys had shattered, she trusted his integrity.

He would make sure her team’s safety. It was just unfortunate that Tonya wasn’t at her side right now. She might not make it before Tonya’s arrival and treatment.

“Lee, stay awake! Don’t you dare close your eyes!” Rhys’ trembling voice echoed persistently in Harlee’s ears, filled with raw emotion.

“Didn’t you promise me one thing? Stay alive! I want you to be safe!”

Harlee wanted to answer, but she had no strength left.

All she could do was surrender to exhaustion.

As her body slumped, she felt herself caught by a pair of strong arms.

“Lee! Please, don’t give in!” Rhys exclaimed.

Was it raining? Why were water droplets falling onto her face? Fighting against her fading consciousness, Harlee opened her eyes, barely able to make out her surroundings.

Everything seemed muffled, except for the man holding her close—the one she had waited years to see again.

Her voice, soft and fragile, lacked its usual cold edge.

“Why are you here?”

Gunfire echoed in the distance, but their immediate space seemed untouched by the chaos.

“I’m here,” Rhys said firmly, carrying her while dodging through the mayhem.

“I’m taking you to the hospital… To Tonya…”

Tonya was still far away in their homeland. This was Harlee’s only thought before her strength gave out.

Rhys hastily said, “Lee, listen! The best medical team is ready to keep you alive until Tonya gets here. Just hold on!”noveldrama

Harlee clung to her last shred of consciousness and listened silently. Just holding on was enough?

Seeing her eyelashes flutter, Rhys hurriedly added, “Yes! Just hang in there. Think of Lonnie and Skyla, your five brothers, and my grandfather…”

For so long, Harlee had cared only for Tonya, willing to risk everything for her.

But now, Harlee had more people she loved. She couldn’t bear to leave them behind. With sheer determination, Harlee forced her eyes to stay open, refusing to give up just yet.

Seeing her resolve, relief softened Rhys’ tense features.

He carried her carefully, running as fast as he could without jostling her fragile body.

Despite the searing pain coursing through her, Harlee lay in Rhys’ embrace, clinging to life, fighting with all of her willpower.

Around them, others fought tirelessly to carve a safe path forward.

Ritchie’s face bore the stains of blood spilled by countless foes. Though his body screamed with exhaustion, his mind remained honed and unyielding—he had to buy more time for Harlee.

Crack! A single bullet obliterated Ritchie’s determination.

Darkness gradually consumed his sight as fragments of his past surged forward in vivid bursts. Joyful moments with Tonya, boisterous nights with Harlee over drinks, and the day he pledged his loyalty to the Shadow Moon Society unfolded like fleeting visions. Time felt both agonizingly distant and piercingly near.
