Seeing his emotional state, Harlee’s desire to argue faded. She softly raised her hands to his face, noting the moisture in his eyes. That was when she grasped the depth of his lingering fear and dread of anything unfortunate happening to her. Her voice softened as she said, “Rhys, can we stop this unreasonable conversation?”

Harlee didn’t want to dwell on the grave topic of death. What did he mean by insisting he would outlive her? Accidents might happen, and no one could ensure their timing. Rhys didn’t respond.

That was the reason she had dared to risk everything and rushed into danger without fear to save him.

Hearing this, Rhys’ body trembled. His gaze softened, but his tone remained firm. “I said I will not die before you do.”

“Okay. I heard you.” Harlee didn’t want to linger on this topic.
