"Don't worry. She's going to be fine really soon. Well, her wounds haven't started to close up on their own yet. So it won't be
convenient for you to visit her today. I think she'll be better tomorrow. By then and you can finally see her."
"Sure, sure! That makes me really happy!" Hannah exclaimed with so much excitement. Although she said that she had trust in
Harper and that she was not worried, she still had some concerns. Only if she had confirmed her daughter's health with her own
eyes could she feel more relieved.
"It's time for me to change her bandages into fresh ones. I shall leave now. Please excuse me," Harper said. Then, she stood up
and went outside the room. Hannah wanted to follow her. But then, she thought of what Harper had just said to her, so she
stopped. She had to wait for another day. Tomorrow, she would finally be able to see her daughter.
At the same time, Harper had actually thought that Hannah would come with her, but it turned out that she didn't. Based on this
fact, Harper believed that she was a disciplined and composed person in some ways, or else she wouldn't have brought up a
son like Shawn.
Like what she said, Harper came to change the bandages for Wendy. Meanwhile, she asked Forsythia to take a rest. Harper
knew that she had been busy taking care of Wendy for the entire day and night. "Go to bed and have a good rest," she urged.
"No, Your Highness, I'm not tired. I can still—" Forsythia tried to say,
but before she could even finish her words, Harper interrupted, "You haven't slept for a day and a night. Go eat something first
and then have a good sleep. After you're well-rested, you'll come back and take my place in here. You must take good care of
yourself. If you fall ill, nobody will replace me. If that were to happen, I would become even more tired."
While listening to Harper, Forsythia thought that what she said made sense. So she quietly left the room. After finishing her food,
she went to the small room next door and slept right away. In fact, it wasn't a big deal for her to lose some sleep for a day and a
night. But she knew that if she didn't take a rest, Harper would never allow her to continue taking care of Wendy. If she wanted to
relieve Harper's burden, what she needed to do was to sleep that instant. After she regained all of her energy, she would go and
take care of Wendy in Harper's replace.
Meanwhile, back in Wendy's ward, her situation was becoming more stable since her fever last night. She had actually woken up
once for a brief moment. When she saw that it was Harper who was taking care of her, she felt secured and instantly fell asleep
again. Harper was relieved to see that Wendy was recovering at a steady pace. She figured that the woman had a strong desire
to survive, or she wouldn't have woken up so soon. After that, she only needed special care during her recuperation. According

to Harper's estimate, it would take half a month for her to fully recover, given that everything went well. The only concern she had
was Wendy needed to be very patient if she wanted to get better.
When Harper came out of the ward, she noticed Shawn who was waiting outside. With a smile, she asked, "You're back from the
imperial court session already?"
"Yes. His Majesty actually asked Prince Matthew to stay there. So I came back by myself. How is Wendy?" Shawn calmly asked.
Harper looked back at the ward before responding, "She woke up once and then fell asleep again. In my estimate, she'll finally
wake up tomorrow. However, the wounds will still be painful for seven or eight days. What we need is an experienced physician
to take care of her."
"Darwin, the physician of our mansion, has left. Do you have any recommendations?" Shawn asked. He had no idea which
physicians had good reputations in the imperial capital, but he believed that Harper would choose a good one.
Harper carefully thought about it for a while before responding, "There is a physician on south street. His name is Gore. For so
many years, he has been performing medical treatment for poor people. He has really excellent medical skills. If you don't mind,
you can ask him to take care of Wendy."
Shawn nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you. Later, I will send someone to pay a visit to him."
"Oh, I must remind you that he has a weird temper. Your people should behave more politely," Harper reminded.
"Don't worry. I guess it's true that people with excellent skills have the tendency to have weird tempers. If you don't trust my
people, I will go and ask him myself. Although watching over Wendy is important, I can't ask you to take care of her all the time.
You will become more tired. So another physician is definitely needed. By the way, I heard that you were disturbed last night so
you weren't able to have a peaceful time to sleep. Would you like to have some rest for a while?" Shawn said with so much
concern in his eyes.
"No, I'm fine. When Physician Gore arrives, I will instruct him and then go back home," Harper replied while she shook her head.
She wouldn't have fallen asleep if she wasn't too tired last night. Later, when she sensed Matthew's scent, she thought she had
returned to their home. So she fell asleep really well with Matthew by her side. Now, she had almost regained all of her energy. If
she were to sleep in this place, she didn't think she could fall asleep that well. She knew that it was really time for her to go back
home.
"Okay, then I'll go and visit Physician Gore now," Shawn said with determination.

For a few moments, it seemed like Harper was in deep thought. She then said, "Okay, just go ahead. I'll stay here with Wendy
and wait for you to bring him here."
"Okay, thank you once again." After that, Shawn turned around and went out. While on his way, he saw Travis hiding in the
corner of the wall and peeking at them. Meanwhile, when Travis noticed that Shawn was coming towards him, he hid himself in a
rush, attempting to not be noticed by Shawn.
Because of this, Shawn smirked, continued leaving and pretended that he didn't see his father. Upon seeing this, Travis breathed
a sigh of relief. He craned his neck to look into the yard, only to find no one. Last night, after he and his wife fought, she kicked
him out of their bedroom. As a result, he had to sleep in the study for the whole night. After a while, Travis finally arrived at the
conclusion that he must've done something wrong. But as the elder, he just couldn't condescend himself to make peace with the
juniors.
Therefore, Travis had been hiding and he didn't dare to reveal himself. In fact, he knew everything that Harper did in this
mansion. She didn't do anything inappropriate except forbidding people from visiting Wendy. She behaved in such a meticulous
and considerate manner. While thinking about this, Travis then realized that he had indeed been too harsh on her.
