"When did I say that I don't like kids?" Matthew asked, still as patient as he could be.
"Didn't you run away when you found out that I was pregnant? Didn't you say that you don't want a baby?"
At once, it seemed like there was a visible dark cloud on Matthew's face. The truth was that he didn't know what to do when he
heard about her pregnancy. So he rushed to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to call out all of the imperial physicians. He then
forced them to write down every precaution for pregnant women. His mistake was that he didn't take into account the possibility
that Harper would have misunderstood his actions. She even thought that he didn't like children so the idea of having a child
scared him to death and fled.
Matthew put down the bowl and calmly said, "I did not run away. Also, it didn't mean that I don't like kids! It's the first time that I'm
going to be a father. I don't know what to do, so I went to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to ask the imperial physicians about
what I should do during your pregnancy."
It was Harper's time to not know what to do or feel or say. She was frozen for a few moments. She had been furious for quite
some time, but it turned out all of her anger was useless. It was not that Matthew didn't like children. He liked children too much.
He just didn't know what to do so he went to seek help from the imperial physicians!
Harper reached out and pinched his ear before saying, "Are you saying that the imperial physicians of the Imperial Academy of

the academy and ordered them to write down all reminders, precautions, and suggestions without missing a single one. I'm just
worried about you. After all, you were hurt before because of me. I'm afraid that your body wouldn't be able to bear the pain and
it'll affect your pregnancy."

"Hmm!" Caught off guard, Harper was forced to drink a lot. She even choked and coughed in the process. The smell of the
medicine was rather disgusting. Thus, as soon as she drank it, she couldn't help but vomit. She threw up everything that she had
for dinner the day before. On the other hand, Matthew was understandably scared out of his mind, so it took him quite a while to
react.
"Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!" Matthew exclaimed, as stunned as ever. They did tell him that she
should take the medicine to prevent miscarriage, so he only forced her to drink it for her sake and the baby's sake. He wanted to
drag those physicians out and punish them with sticks. Why did they advise to drink the medicine? Right after she did, she was

When she saw the sweet-sour plums, she picked up one and put it into her mouth to ease the sick feeling in her stomach. If she kept on vomiting like this, she wouldn't be able to bear it anymore. "Harp, how are you feeling now?" Matthew carefully asked while he took her hand. He then noticed that her face turned really pale because of vomiting too much. Leaning weakly against
