Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 840

"You're crazy!" Wendy shouted the moment her breathing stabilized once again. "Why did you do that? Were you trying to kill
me?!"
A slight air of disgust became apparent in Harper's face. "Didn't you want to die?" she said bluntly, eyeing Wendy as if she was
some kind of deformed creature. "I was just helping you." A look of disbelief dawned on Wendy's face. Harper didn't care,
however, and continued: "You want to die simply because of a scar. Do you think it was very easy for me to save your life? Do
you know that my medical fees and expenses to cure you were so high that if I decided to charge them all to your clan, your
family would be bankrupt and living in the streets?"
It was Wendy's first time hearing all of this. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that her family could go bankrupt just
because of her medical expenses.
"Shut up" she shouted, shaking her head. "Lies, lies, lies!"
Once again, Harper acted like she didn't hear Wendy's lamentations. "Do you know that the pill to cure you is invaluable?" she
continued. "Do you know how great of an effort I spent to get an herb from Labyrinth Swamp? The five leaves that I used on you
already amounted to one hundred thousand taels of gold. Wendy Shen, I treated you with the best and most effective pills and
herbs I have in my collection, but you still have the audacity to throw a tantrum about wanting to die? Fine! I'll kill you with my
bare hands! After that, I'll make sure your family pays me what you owe me so that they'd lose everything they have!" Harper
became more and more ruthless as she spoke. Worse, she didn't make an effort to hide the murderous intent in her eyes. Wendy
felt like her soul was being ripped and shredded into pieces, so she had no other choice but to retreat.
Never in her life had she met a person worse than Harper. She had always believed that she only got lucky when the late

emperor approved of her marriage with Prince Matthew. In her point of view, a woman like Harper would never be able to marry
a noble such as Prince Matthew because she was a woman whose engagement had been broken off.
Now, she realized that everything that Harper achieved wasn't because of her luck: it was because of her own powerful self, and

to suppress them. "I don't want to die," she finally said. Harper looked down on her. "Say

that if she truly wanted to die, Harper would do the honors and kill her! Several moments passed before Harper spoke. "Always remember what you said here today, right now. You want to live." She then turned around and began to walk away. "I'll leave her to you now," she said as she passed by Physician Gore. "Yes, Your Highness," Physician Gore responded with respect. "I promise to take good care of Lady Wendy." Harper's firm and decisive actions impressed everyone around her that day. Only a few people in the world would have the courage to push someone into the pond and let them drown in front of his or her mother and father. After Harper left, Hannah finally came around. With Travis by her side, she hurriedly came to Wendy's side to console her. Travis immediately ordered someone to help Wendy back to her

temperature wasn't too high, making it uncomfortable for Wendy to stay out soaking. Besides that, she had just undergone
surgery and her body had not fully recovered yet. If anything happened to her, it would be so devastating for her family.
Hannah felt her mind melting into a puddle the moment she saw how Wendy seemed to be scared to death. As the maids helped
dress her up, it was noticeable how pale her face was. 'It was as if she had seen the devil herself,' she thought, worried for her
daughter.
But while her heart was continuously breaking over her daughter's suffering, she knew that she couldn't put any ounce of blame
on Harper. If it weren't for her, her spoiled daughter would keep messing about.
Zack was taken aback by the bold behaviors of Harper. When he turned around and saw the calm look on Shawn's face, he was

a person who will sit silently as someone tries to defile her name," Shawn said with a smile, "She's on the other side of that spectrum: she's decisive, determined, and ruthless. Wendy is no match for someone like her." "Do you know her that well?" Zack asked, his eyes narrowing. A trace of jealousy and disbelief could be heard in his tone. "She's decisive, yes, but I don't think she's
