Chapter 609 The Hard Pregnancy (Part One)


    Inside his mansion, Matthew was looking at the secret guards of the Chu n who were then guarding


    the Phoenix House. It was at this moment that Matthew unintentionally caught a glimpse of Fred and


    Forsythia who had also been kicked out.


    "What happened to Harper?"


    Matthew asked. Forsythia turned to him and thought, ''Prince Matthew, you really are a hopeless case.


    To an extent, you made Lady Harper upset. And still, you''re asking what happened?!''


    With so much hesitation, Fred stated, "Your Highness, I heard that it was you who made Her Highness


    upset. More importantly, she asked me to pass on two words to you."


    "What are they?"


    Fred responded in a calm tone, "Go die."


    The expression on Matthew''s face instantly twisted. It didn''t make any sense until his mind wandered to


    what he had discussed with Harper when he left. In an instant, he understood what had happened.


    Harper must have thought that he didn''t like children. She must''ve thought that he was so frightened by


    the news of her pregnancy so he fled. There was no other exnation of why she was so furious with


    him.


    "Someone, make some medicine for miscarriage prevention and prepare a te of sweet-sour plums,"


    Matthew ordered at once.


    "Yes, Your Highness." After that, Matthew didn''t rush toe inside. Instead, he just stood outside the


    door and turned to Fred, making the man a bit worried about his stare. Somehow, Fred had a hunch


    that something unpleasant would happen to him.


    At that time, Jack had juste back. He put his hand on Barry''s shoulder while looking at the closed


    gate of the Phoenix House. With a smile, he said, "Did something happen to Her Highness? Why does


    it seem like you''ve all been kicked out?"


    Naturally, Fred''s eyes fell on Jack. The expression on his face didn''t change. It was uncaring as usual,


    but in his eyes was something different. As Matthew inadvertently noticed the strange look in Fred''s


    eyes, he followed where he was looking and found out that it was Jack. At that moment, Jack had his


    arms roped around Barry''s neck and asked, "Forsythia, why have you also been kicked out?"


    With that, Forsythia quickly walked over to Jack who still had a broad smile on his face. When she was


    right in front of him, he looked down at her and asked, "Do you want me to plead for you—" Before he


    could finish speaking, a loud and pitiful scream was heard.


    Without a word or a warning, Forsythia had given him a punch on the stomach. She then snorted loudly


    in front of him and went back to where she had been standing. ''Lady Harper was really upset this time.


    And this guy had the audacity to mess around here and took pleasure in other people''s misfortunes. He


    needed to be taught a lesson!''


    "Your Highness, here''s the medicine and plums," one of the servants told Matthew.


    He looked at the medicine and plums before taking them in his hands. Then, he went straight towards


    the Phoenix House. However, the moment he got a little close to the door, the two guards stationed in


    there tried to stop him. With some quick movements of his hands, the guards were suddenly unable to


    move. Matthew had paralyzed them by pressing on their acupuncture points. Now, with much ease,


    Matthew continued on his way inside the house.


    Looking at Matthew''s receding figure, Jack shook his head. "How pitiful it is to see His Highness like


    this. Can you imagine? He was kicked out of his own mansion! When you get married in the future,


    don''t choose such a horrible woman. Otherwise, be careful because you might even sleep outside of


    your mansion on your own wedding night."


    Fred turned to look at Jack, but he didn''t pay much attention to what he was saying. Instead, he


    continued to stand in silence. After a few short moments, Jack was already feeling bored, so he said,


    "Barry, let''s get out of here and drink."


    "Do you really want His Highness to throw you back into training again?" Barry asked calmly, albeit a


    little irritated. He finally reached out to remove Jack''s arm around his neck. After doing so, he said,


    "You''re bing more and more impudent as the days go by. Don''t forget that the people who can do


    whatever she wants in front of His Highness is inside the Phoenix House, and you''re excluded."


    Get more training is fine for me. In this way, I can improve my fighting skills, and I won''t get beaten up


    by Fred every single time." Jack threw a nce at Fred. Every time they met, the two men would


    always have their swords at each other''s throat. And every single time, Jack would take the first swing


    by provoking Fred. Unfortunately, Fred was not a good-tempered man. As long as Jack provoked him,


    Fred would always draw his sword and try with every means to sh Jack with it.

    "If you don''t provoke Fred, will he beat you up?" Barry asked with a snort. Barry didn''t know why but for


    some reason, Jack had not been in good terms with Fred ever since they were young. Every time Jack


    saw Fred, he would provoke him. Naturally, he would get some severe beating while screaming his


    heart out. But the next day, he would still stay very close to Fred as if nothing had happened.


    With his lips curled up, Jack didn''t say anything more. He looked at the Phoenix House with its closed


    door and started to wonder what was going on inside.


    Holding the medicine in his hands, Matthew went into Harper''s room without any more troubles. But the


    moment Harper saw him, she immediately became furious. "Who let you in? Go away!"


    "Fine. But before I leave, take the medicine." Matthew put down the medicine on the table. Even


    though he climbed over the wall and got inside, he did not spill the medicine even by just a little.


    Harper red at him before turning around and eximing, "No, I''m not drinking that."


    Matthew took out a pile of paper from his arms, turned two pages, and then seriously said, "The


    imperial physician said that pregnant women must be happy and calm at all times. They cannot be


    upset, anxious or worried. They shouldn''t exercise vigorously, or—"


    It was at that moment when Harper thought that there was something wrong with what he just said. So


    she asked, "What? I can''t even speak?"


    Turning over the thick stack of paper, Matthew shook his head and sincerely said, "Of course you can


    talk!"


    "Well then, go away! I don''t want to see you!" Harper was beyond furious at that point. She had so


    many things she wanted to tell him but she only kept it in her mind. ''What kind of person are you? After


    finding out that I''m pregnant, you run away like you just saw a terrifying ghost. And when you came


    back, instead of hearing some exnation, all I got from you are rules after rules that I should follow. I


    can''t do anything except eating and drinking. Besides, I even have to watch my food intake! I have to


    eat this and that, but I can''t eat too much. What kind of life are you making out for me?''


    Matthew rolled up the paper and put it back in his pocket. "Here, have the medicine so you can keep


    our baby safe. Please, it''s good for you, both of you."


    "No!" Harper decisively refused once again.


    "Harp,e on, let me help you," Matthew calmly said with every fiber of patience that he had.


    "You don''t like kids, right? So why should I even drink it? I think you should give me a bowl of abortion


    medicine instead." Harper was so mad at him that she spoke harshly without thinking much about her


    words. Matthew was trying to be very patient but when he heard that, the expression on his face


    quickly changed. It even took him a long time to react.
