When midnight came, Wendy was burning with a fever. Upon noticing this, Forsythia immediately ran to tell Harper.
As soon as Forsythia arrived at the door of the room where Harper and Matthew were staying at, Matthew woke up and opened
his eyes. He instantly furrowed his eyebrows. Forsythia froze while her foot hung mid-air. Feeling a little awkward, she didn't
know whether she should proceed inside or get out immediately. After all, she was well aware that Matthew despised being
disturbed while he was with Harper.
"What happened?" Matthew asked, lowering his voice.
"Lady Wendy has a fever. Before Her Highness went to bed, she had warned me that if this were to happen, I must tell her right
away. We can't delay the remedy because this is a very serious problem that may cause a lot of complications. Your Highness,
what should we do now?" Forsythia replied, lowering her voice as well.
Even though the current situation was very unpleasant to Matthew, he knew that this problem should not be trifled with. Harper
had worked so hard for several days just to cure Wendy. If something bad were to happen to the girl and he didn't wake her up at
that instant, she would certainly be furious at him.
Taking a look at his beautiful wife who was sleeping so soundly in his arms, Matthew shook her gently. "Harp, Harp, wake up."
Harper opened her drowsy eyes and saw that it was Matthew who was trying to wake her up. So she closed her eyes again.
"Matthew, what time is it? When did I reach home?" she asked, wanting so bad to go back to sleep.
Matthew raised his eyebrows out of confusion but smiled in an instant when he understood. "It's quarter to twelve o'clock. We are
still in Travis' mansion. Wendy is having a fever."

After hearing what he said, Harper got out of the bed right away. She then quickly put on her shoes and ran out. With a sigh,
Matthew could only watch her helplessly. "Slow down. Don't fall down."
"I will," Harper called out from the distance. Before her voice faded, she was already gone. Matthew couldn't help but let out a
sigh once again. He didn't quite understand why Harper cared about Wendy so much. After all, the woman was just an outsider

relative. It was already early in the morning when Harper came back to their room. She then threw herself on the bed and didn't move at all. She was so exhausted after taking care of Wendy the whole night. Her face was not as pale as before but she was still very weak. It was

but I just realized that you're only a year younger than Wendy. However, you are so much more mature than her. You must have gone through a lot of things in the past years. Moreover, yesterday, you were busy all throughout the day and you didn't eat anything at night. You were even awakened

Wendy, you are more elegant and graceful. I believe only a few ladies in the imperial capital can compare with you in terms of
etiquette."
Subconsciously, Harper replied right away, "My grandmother was very strict with me ever since I was a child. She even assigned
a really stern nanny to teach me etiquette. I didn't dare to disappoint her, so I studied very hard."
Because of what she said, Hannah's eyes twinkled a little. Harper had been favored by her grandmother Mavis. So when Mavis
died, Harper went out to the imperial capital to attend the funeral. At that time, Hannah saw how sad and helpless she looked
without her beloved grandmother to support her. She felt really sorry for Harper at that moment.
"Right now, you're the only one who can support the entire Chu Clan. You work really hard," Hannah stated after she let out a

and wiped her lips. With a knowing smile, she said, "Lady Hannah, I am a woman who is born weak by nature. I have already married into another family. So whether or not the Chu Clan would remain prosperous or not has nothing to do with anymore." Hannah looked at Harper incredulously. In her opinion, she didn't need to elaborate that
