Chapter 1304 Chapter 1304: "I couldn't sleep," Tania responded with a slight nod, forcing a smile on her pale face. Her voice was low and raspy as she said, "I feel lost. I'm not Tania, nor Tonya. I'm unsure how to move forward." Harlee's distance, the others' cautiousness, and Rhys' deliberate boundaries... Everything made Tania feel uneasy.
Harlee realized she had been too occupied with the island to give Tania the attention she deserved. She sat down across from her, taking Tania's hand. "I want you to live your life as you see fit, whether as Tania or Tonya. My hope is for your happiness." Tania's eyelashes fluttered at these words, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. "Do you believe in reincarnation?" She questioned whether Harlee truly believed her claims of rebirth.
Looking at their intertwined hands, Harlee laughed lightly. "I wasn't a believer before, but now, I do think you are Tonya." Tania responded with silence, her gaze fixed on Harlee.
