Although Hailey came back, she only stayed home for three days and then went back to work. After all, she was the only female
imperial physician in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Many ladies would ask for her help when they suffered from pain. That
was an advantage of being a female physician. Therefore, Hailey was very busy dealing with her work all the time. Harper also
kept herself busy. She had been researching about things she could sell. She locked herself inside the room and saw nobody
these days. Even Nina and Anabel had no idea what she was doing exactly.
Enya had always been curious. She had tried to break in to see what was going on several times, but she was stopped by Nina
every time. They were of the same ranking as maids but only Nina had the maturity to stop Enya from being too nosy. Nina knew
that Harper would not want any of them to know what she was concentrating on.
On the other hand, the grievous sores on Felicia's face were finally healed after Hailey treated her face. But there were still
marks remaining on her face. Felicia would have to wear a veil when she went out from now on.
"My Lady, Lady Yvonne is here," Anabel told Harper after entering the room.
Harper paused on her research and stretched her tired arms. "Please let her in."
"Greetings, Harper," said Yvonne.
"Don't be so formal, Yvonne. We are sisters, after all. Take a seat," Harper replied. Yvonne looked a bit restless, but Harper
understood what she was worried about. So in the meantime, she kept her silence and wouldn't bring it up if that would make
Yvonne uncomfortable.
Yvonne must have sensed Harper's sympathy. Touched and overwhelmed with emotions, Yvonne fell on her knees. "Harper, my

dear sister, please help me!"
"Yvonne, what are you doing? Stand up quickly. People will think I'm being mean to you when you do that," Harper exclaimed
and helped Yvonne stand up. "We are sisters. If there is any trouble you are trapped in, just tell me. I will help you if I can."

let me be miserable for all my life?" Yvonne wept. "So you chose him?" Harper asked instead. Although she didn't mention who she was referring to, Harper was sure that Yvonne knew who she was talking about. "Harper, I know I've hurt you by doing this. I'm sorry. Please forgive me..." Yvonne cried. "Okay, stop it, please. I don't care about your affairs and I won't say anything about it. But I just want to remind you that Lady Sue is a very, well, let's say, capable woman. And you know Felicia is not a simple girl. Both of them are not easy to deal with. You'd better be careful and don't let others find out that

said, her voice seemingly distant. She knew about Yvonne and Hansen's relationship. But if Yvonne wouldn't say it outright, then
she wouldn't say anything about it.
Thinking about what would happen if Felicia lost everything brought immense pleasure to Harper. Sue and Felicia used to
celebrate Harper's misery. It was just fair play and Harper couldn't wait to see their downfall.
"Thank you so much, Harper. I will keep your words in mind," Yvonne said gratefully.
"Well, just go back. Lady Carrie will worry about you," Harper urged.
"Yes, I'll see you later," Yvonne said.
