Chapter 595 Francis'' Confession (Part One)
Harper took out a bag full of needles and had acupuncture on Francis'' body. Francis had a blood
stagnation. She didn''t know what kind of stimulus he suffered led to such a symptom. Yet one way or
another, Harper had to help him spit out the blood to save his life.
After the acupuncture treatment with several silver needles, Francis spat out a mouthful of blood, which
frightened Owen. Thetter immediately cried out, "Your Highness, are you all right?"
After putting the silver needles away, Harper looked at Francis''s pale face. Francis looked like a wreck.
If the events at the birthday banquet were plotted by him, he didn''t need to care about her opinions
anymore. After all, his poison waspletely cleared, so she should have been useless to him now.
But he came to see her, even disregarding the heavy rain. With a single nce, he recognized that the
person in the Phoenix House was not the real Harper and even guessed correctly that she was in the
Pine House. It was obvious that Francis was smart. Why did hee to Matthew''s mansion at such a
moment?
Looking at the pale face of Francis, and then at Harper, Owen pursed his lips and tears poured down
his face. He cried louder, "You bully people. You are cruel to His Highness."
Harper felt both amused and annoyed. "When did we bully him?"
"You let him stay in the rain for two hours, and he fainted because of it. How can you deny that you are
cruel to him?"
"You brat! Your whining is so unreasonable. Her Highness didn''t even know that Prince Francis was
outside. Comin to us instead; we hid the fact and didn''t report to her!" Forsythia stood with arms
akimbo and shouted at Owen. She couldn''t bear to hear someone being rude to Harper. What was
more, she couldn''t allow anyone to disturb her rest, so she didn''t report Francis'' arrival when he came.
Hearing that, Owen cried even more bitterly. He pointed at Forsythia, gasping and saying, "You are
also a bad person. You bullied His Highness and me."
Seeing a man crying like this, Forsythia scorned at once. "Look at this! A man is actually crying like a
woman."
Her words made Owen so angry that he couldn''t even cry anymore. He just red at her furiously. He
remembered that she had threatened to cut off his tongue at that time!
Harper shook her head and her mind was racing fast. She wondered, ''Francis passed out because he
was upset and suffering from the cold. Is it also because he knew how he got poisoned?''
"Your Highness," Forsythia called abruptly.
Harper turned around and saw Matthewe in, wet from the rain. She frowned and said, "Hurry up.
Bring a towel for Matthew."
"Yes."
After receiving the dried handkerchief from Forsythia, Matthew wiped Harper''s long wet hair adroitly
instead of drying himself with it.
"What happened here?" Matthew inquired, looking at Francis lying in bed.
"I don''t know what happened to him. He passed out after staying in the rain for two hours," Harper said
in a low voice. "Your clothes are wet too. Go and change your clothes. I prepared ginger soup for you in
the kitchen. Go and drink a bowl of it, or you''ll catch a cold."

"Okay." After putting down the handkerchief, he walked into the other room to change clothes. When
the maid came in with the ginger soup, Harper helped Francis sit up and fed him the soup.
Matthew walked in and frowned when he saw Harper feeding Francis. He took the bowl from Harper''s
hand, pinched Francis'' jaw and poured the ginger soup into his mouth rudely.
Most of the ginger soup was spilled, and only a little was drunk. When Harper turned to look at her
husband, Owen was so scared that he forgot to react. He thought wildly, ''What''s wrong with Prince
Matthew? Doesn''t he see that my master is in a desperate condition?''
"Look. Your clothes were stained again." Harper frowned but still made way for him. "Forsythia, prepare
another bowl of ginger soup and feed Francis."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Harper picked up the other bowl of hot ginger soup, blew on it and handed it to Matthew, saying with
great concern, "Matthew, drink it up now, to drive away the cold."
Matthew folded his arms across his chest and opened his mouth, obviously intending for her to feed
him.
Harper blushed scarlet from shyness. After all, with so many people watching, it was embarrassing. Yet
if she didn''t feed him, she feared what might happenter. So she had to scoop up the ginger soup with
the spoon, blow on it slightly, deliver it to his mouth, and feed him as if he were a patient.
Matthew drank Harper''s ginger soup with a proud look on his face. When Owen saw the scene, his
eyes dted drastically. He finally realized that Matthew tried to feed his master the soup only because
he didn''t want Harper to feed his master in person. But was that "man" really the Harper he knew
before? This person was wearing men''s clothes and looked unfamiliar, yet Owen did hear his master
call her ''Aunt''!
"Ahem." Francis coughed and opened his eyes before Matthew finished drinking his ginger soup. The
first person Francis saw was Harper, who put down the bowl and was looked at him with concern.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Don''t stop. Continue," Matthew said as he took the bowl and put it in Harper''s hand. He opened his
mouth and waited for her to feed him the soup again. Harper felt both annoyed and amused, but she
didn''t refuse him. She continued feeding him while talking to Francis.
"I have asked someone to bring you the ginger soup. You need another bowl of it. You are in fragile
health. Why don''t you take better care of yourself? You got cold and stayed in the rain. Aren''t you afraid
of dying early?" Looking at the empty bowl of ginger soup, Harper was about to put it down. Yet,
Matthew was quicker and already put another bowl in front of her.
