Chapter 1092:
Christopher stared, dumbfounded.
He had seen Rhys in countless episodes, his madness unchecked, his strength unrelenting.
But thisâthis was different.
However, before Christopher could process the change, Tonya moved closer to assess Rhys. The moment she did, the fragile calm shattered.
Rhys erupted with violent force, kicking Christopher away and clawing at Harleeâs arms, raking her skin into raw wounds.
In the end, they were forced to secure Rhys to a chair.
Throughout the chaos, Rhys glared at Harlee with a murderous fury that promised death without a momentâs hesitation.
Kneeling before Rhys, Harlee worked silently, tending to his wounds.
Tonya, however, grabbed Harleeâs hands and insisted on tending to her injuries first.
Her tone was sharp.
âHave you lost your mind? I warned you Rhys canât recognize anyone when he has a seizure! Why throw yourself at him? What? His body matters, but yours doesnât?â
Despite her words, Tonyaâs hands moved carefully, wrapping Harleeâs wounds with the utmost gentleness.
âIâm alright,â Harlee replied softly, a faint smile crossing her lips.
Christopher, still kneeling, let out a bitter laugh.

âNow you see why Mr. Green instructed, during lucid moments, to have himself tied up. The first time he lost control, none of us knew what we were dealing with. We rushed in blindly, thinking we could bring him back.
Butâ¦â His voice broke.
âOne man died, and three others were left maimed.
After that, Mr. Green locked himself in the villaâs underground chamber. I was the only one he trusted to keep watch.â
âWhen did his first episode happen?â Harlee asked, her voice barely audible.
Christopher hesitated, his eyes flicking to Rhys, who snarled like a wounded animal, his face twisted in pain.
âAfter we dealt with Anika and Eugenia in Asmain, he came back from the bungee jumping site⦠Thatâs when it began.â
Harleeâs chest tightened. She hadnât realized how far back Rhysâ torment had begunâor how closely it was tied to her.
Harleeâs eyes brimmed with unshed tears.
Tonya noticed Harleeâs tears and exchanged a glance with Christopher, who immediately stood up and positioned himself to shield Harleeâs view of Rhys.
âHarlee, would you mind stepping out for a moment? I need to assist Mr. Green with changing,â Christopher said calmly.
Harlee remained silent, her gaze hollow.
