NovelEnglishChapter 1419 Chapter 1419: The poison he'd used cfrom the smaker of the Bloodthirstiness Pill. Now, with all the antidote makers dead, the only cure available was the one in his possession. He was certain no one could undo his work.
"You're truly heartless," Harlee muttered as she turned to leave, followed by Rhys and the others.
"Harlee, are you okay?" Once out of Lucius' sight, Thiago and Jianna immediately moved in, their concern clearly visible on their faces.
Harlee nodded.

"Goodwin hasn't figured out the poison in my system, has he?" Rhys wrapped his arms around her from behind. His head rested on her shoulder, his voice rough as he spoke. "Letgo kill him." A shiver of longing and desperation slipped through his words, warming her ear.
At the sound of his voice, Harlee relaxed, leaning back into him.
"Don't be foolish. Lucius is too dangerous. If we want that antidote, we'll have to use his feelings for Nicola." Rhys played with her hand, his voice deep and determined.
"I'll make him regret ever crossing us." He didn't care about Lucius and Nola's schemes, or what Lucius' plans on the island were. All he wanted was to make Lucius suffer once they got the antidote.
Harlee looked at him, a tender smile curving her lips as she reached up to touch his face.
"You don't wantor the baby to be in any danger, do you?" As soon as she said it, Rhys opened his mouth to protest, but instead of words, he gently bit her lower lip, his tongue brushing against it before he deepened the kiss, silencing her.
Thiago and Jianna exchanged a glance, silently looking up at the night sky. At first, they would blush or look away, but by now... well, they were used to it. Anyway, after the two finished their moment, they would remember the situation and start assigning new tasks.
When Rhys finally pulled away, Harlee whispered, "I discovered something-Lucius isn't just working with Nola. He has connections with other members of the Happer family." "What?" Rhys responded vaguely, his lips still wandering over her earlobe before reluctantly moving away. "The private helicopter that brought us here had the Happer family's logo, but it wasn't Nola's. I think the Happer family might be splitting apart," she explained slowly, her mind racing.
Rhys frowned, his expression turning serious.

Harlee smiled, impressed by how quickly Rhys had picked up on her thoughts.
"You knew what I was thinking so quickly?"
Rhys chuckled, poking her stomach lightly before leaning in close to her closetother ear. His voice was low, husky, and full of affection. "Of course. I know you better than anyone."
Thiago gently cleared his throat to remind them of his presence when he noticed the two had started speaking in low voices again.
Harlee turned around, unfazed, as if she hadn't just been nuzzling Rhys' ear.
Rhys had a knack for ignoring those he deemed unimportant when displaying affection publicly, which over time, had toughened her up.
