Chapter 1281:

At this, “Tonya” felt a twinge in her nose, her eyes beginning to fill with tears. She delicately loosened Harlee’s grasp and stepped back. “Don’t you want to know what happened to me?”

Realizing that “Tonya” was concerned about getting her dirty, Harlee restrained her tears, standing still. Her voice trembled as she asked, “What exactly occurred?”

“Tonya” managed a forced smile, brushed off her clothes, and sat down casually. “Truthfully, I’m not sure myself. I found myself in this girl’s body when I awoke. Her name is Tania, and she’s an orphan. I hesitated to take any action until I understood the situation better. It wasn’t until I saw you that I recognized this as the island where I had once planned a surprise for you.”

Caught up in her longing and sorrow, Harlee overlooked why “Tonya” hadn’t mentioned Dario.

“How have you managed these past days?” Harlee’s voice remained deeply concerned.

“I pretended to be invisible, avoiding contact with anyone,” “Tonya” said, a hint of helplessness in her voice. “This girl’s body is too weak. I couldn’t gather any strength. I had to quietly heal before I could take any action.” At that moment, tears welled up, seemingly signaling the immense hardships “Tonya” had faced.

“Tonya” then looked up at Harlee. Noticing the curiosity in Harlee’s eyes, she lowered her gaze once more. “If I had known things would end up like this, I wouldn’t have…”

“Planned any surprises? Harlee, how am I supposed to make up for the suffering these people have endured?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this,” Harlee said. With tear-filled eyes, she carefully examined “Tonya,” who looked so thin, bringing another wave of sadness. Harlee felt fortunate to have made the journey here. Otherwise, “Tonya” might have endured even worse suffering.

As Harlee stood there, her stomach suddenly churned, and she felt the familiar pangs of pregnancy once more.

“Tonya” was quick to react, patting Harlee’s back soothingly before placing a hand on Harlee’s wrist. Her face brightened with excitement. “Harlee, am I going to be a godmother?”

After a bout of nausea, Harlee managed a joyful smile. “Yes. It seems the little one is also glad to have you back.”

“Oh, little one, you’re truly a joy.” “Tonya” smiled and gave a thumbs-up. Just then, a noise not too far off caught their attention.

“Tonya” smiled and gestured with her eyebrows for Harlee to look. “He’s quite the attentive one, isn’t he?”

“Tonya” chuckled and then shifted the topic. “By the way, has he reclaimed his memory? What about the toxins? Could they impact my future godchild?”

At this, Harlee’s nose twitched. Rhys had indeed recovered his memory around the same time Tonya was severely injured. “Yes. He remembers everything now.”

Harlee squeezed her hands tight, struggling to hold back a new wave of tears.

“Harlee, rebirth is too outrageous. It’s better if only you know about it,” “Tonya” said cautiously. “To others, just tell them I’m Tania, someone trained by Tonya.”

Harlee agreed without hesitation and nodded. “Understood. If Rhys inquires about our conversation, I’ll tell him you shared many memories of Tonya.”

Tania smiled and said, “We’re really on the same wavelength. I was about to suggest that!”

With that, they both stood. As Tania walked alongside Harlee, her demeanor shifted subtly. In a secluded spot, unseen by Harlee or Rhys, she allowed herself a smug smile. She had heard that Harlee was really smart. However, she had managed to deceive Harlee completely.
