"You..." Felicia was still trying to say something.
Unwilling to waste any more time, Harper moved closer to her. "I can show you the evidence, but be watchful. If I'm proven
innocent, you'll be in danger."
Felicia's face changed to one holding fear as she understood the meaning behind her sister's words. She was sure that no one
could show any evidence of her actions, let alone Harper.
"Harper, stop bluffing," Felicia whispered harshly. Despite her brilliant medical skills, Harper wouldn't be able to pull something
out her sleeves, not even by a long shot! Plus, she had already offended General Maxwell and lost her position as an imperial
physician. There was no way of reversing the entirety of the situation!
Not in the mood to convince her otherwise, Harper bowed to Matthew. "Your Highness, please follow me to the general's
residence."
When Matthew and Harper arrived at the general's residence, Maxwell was busy comforting his concubine, Jade Su, who was in
tears.
In spite of his tough appearance, Maxwell was a man with a soft heart when it came to women. His only regret was that he could
never have a child of his own. When Jade Su had announced that she was pregnant, he had been filled with joy at least until the
news of their child being murdered came in. Then, he was as enraged as a bull.
"General, Prince Matthew is here." A servant came over to Maxwell.
"What is he doing here?" Maxwell frowned. Five years ago, Matthew had returned from battlefield and handed back his military
leadership to the emperor. Though he didn't get his hands on power now, many still held him in awe.
"Harper Chu!" Jade Su shrieked at the woman's name. She clutched Maxwell's arm. "The bitch was the one who killed our child!
You can't let her go! Kill her! Avenge our child."
"Calm down, calm down. I'll deal with her immediately." Maxwell assisted his beloved concubine in lying down. Once he was sure
that everything was all right, he turned and walked outside, his steps quick and powerful. Though he had taken some time off the
stance and walk were similar to a soldier's—strong
Matthew. "Your Highness, what's going on? Shouldn't the woman be executed already?" "General, please calm down. Harper Chu claimed she was innocent, so I gave her a chance to prove herself. I assume you don't want to be kept in the dark of her discovery," Matthew answered as he turned the jade ring about on his thumb. "Greetings, General Maxwell." Harper bowed. "Not only are you strong, but you're wise as well. I've heard many songs praising your force and mind in the battlefield." "You killed my child," he thundered. "You think I'll let you off the hook just because of flattery?" "No, I wouldn't dare. I have always admired you; it's because of you and your soldiers that we live in a peaceful country. When I heard of Lady Jade having a difficult labor, being the only female imperial physician, I rushed here to help her." She paused and continued, "I was shocked by what I saw, but before I could inform you, I was knocked out." "You were trying to commit suicide for fear of punishment!" Jade Su screeched out as she stumbled out of her room, holding a hand on her stomach. She had thought Harper would've died by now; instead, Harper had the audacity to waltz right
"Don't cry." Maxwell felt his heart ache at the sight of his concubine sobbing. He turned to Harper, eyes flashing in anger. "Howdare you come to my home and defend yourself after killing my child. Have you no shame?"
"General!" Harper cut him off. "How could I kill your child if it didn't exist? Lady Jade wasn't pregnant!"
Everyone's jaw dropped, as silence overtaken the surroundings. Jade Su paled. "Harper Chu, you vicious bitch! You killed my
child, and you even said I wasn't pregnant! Was a nine-month pregnancy nothing to you?" she snarled.
"Stop lying!"
Harper folded her arms. "I have evidence. General, you are not only talented, but you're reasonable. You certainly don't want to
kill an innocent woman, do you?"
Looking at her clear eyes, Maxwell frowned. She didn't seem as if she was lying.
"Don't trust her, Maxwell. I carried our child for nine months. Don't you know that?" Jade Su's fingers trembled. Maybe she and
get a baby from
she had even said as long as Jade Su helped her set Harper up, she'd be able to help her become the wife of the general. Now, she regretted it so much. "General, I began studying medicine
