"My intellect? It's all thanks to her." The corners of Matthew's mouth lifted a little to form a small smile.
Lucas immediately understood that the "her" who Matthew was referring to was none other than Harper. She was like a mystery.
People had thought that she was arrogant and intimidating, but she turned out to be kind-hearted in nature. They had also
thought that she was weak and easy to push around, but she had thrown her enemies into hell while wearing a smile on her
face. Harper was a woman of principle. Even an emperor was not capable of making her give up what she truly believed in.
"By the way, is there something that you're hiding about having a child?" Lucas finally asked. He was not a fool. When he
mentioned it earlier, the expression on Harper's face immediately changed. So did Matthew's, and even Zack's behavior became
strange.
Matthew didn't answer the question. He didn't know how to tell Lucas or even, if he should tell him something so close and
personal to him and Harper. But there was one thing he was sure of. If he had to risk Harper's life just to have a child, he would
rather give up having the greatest child in the world.
For some reason, Matthew's silence made Lucas realize that it wasn't that they didn't want a child, but they couldn't. Lucas
supposed that perhaps, the reason had something to do with the Qin Clan. The couple had been investigating the affairs of the
clan for a long time now. Perhaps, one of these days, their efforts would bear fruition, changing things for the better.
"Uncle Matthew, things will definitely turn around. Aunt Harper has excellent medical skills, probably the best in the world. I'm
sure she will find a way to solve the problem," Lucas said, trying to comfort Matthew.
Matthew nodded and said, "Again, it's getting late. You should go back to the Imperial Palace now. As an emperor, you can't just

do whatever you want like before when you were a prince."
"You're right, Uncle Matthew. It's time for me to return to the Imperial Palace." Lucas stood up and was about to leave. "Uncle
Matthew, are you going to leave with me?"
"No, I'm going to pick up Harper."

hurting so bad that she was almost losing her mind. But as soon as she saw Harper, a surge of newly found energy flowed
through her. "Harper, you're back."
Holding Caroline's hands in hers, Harper said, "Yes, I'm here."
Caroline breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that you're back, I'm not worried anymore."
Without wasting another second, Harper injected her spiritual power into Caroline's body to help her deliver the baby much
easier. Seeing what Harper did, the midwife was at a loss. Harper turned to her and commanded, "What are you doing right
now? Hurry up! Help her give birth to the baby."
The midwife came to her senses and rushed forward. "Yes, yes. Oh, I see the baby's head. My Lady, push harder. The baby is
