Chapter 831 Take Care Of Her Wholeheartedly (Part One)
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 dy the remedy because this is a very serious problem
that may cause a lot ofplications. 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 for her. But the way she was curing and caring for
her, it was as if Wendy was a very close rtive.
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 at this time that Hannah personally
brought the ginseng soup for her.
"Shawn said that you''re bing really weak these days. I asked the servants to make some ginseng
soup for you. Please drink it now," Hannah gently said while she sat down. Then, she handed over the
bowl of ginseng soup to Harper.
"Thank you very much," Harper politely replied.
"Oh you don''t need to thank me. Forgive me for saying this 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 in the middle of the night to take care of Wendy. You
need to eat something to at least warm your stomach," Hannah remarked. She actually had an
extravagant breakfast prepared for her.
"Yes, I will. Thank you," Harper immediately responded. Whatever reason Hannah had for treating her
in a very nice way, Harper didn''t take it for granted and even expressed her gratitude.
After serving some dishes for Harper, Hannah asked with a smile on her face, "Do you usually eat like
this? It''s just,pared to Wendy, you are more elegant and graceful. I believe only a fewdies in the
imperial capital canpare 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 n. You work really hard," Hannah
stated after she let out a sigh. She knew well enough that it was a great burden to be responsible for
the prosperity of a whole n. Even as the wife of a prince, Harper still had a heavy burden which she
must carry on her own.
When she heard that, Harper put down her bowl on the table, swallowed thest mouthful of soup in
her mouth, 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 n would
remain prosperous or not has nothing to do with anymore."
Hannah looked at Harper incredulously. In her opinion, she didn''t need to borate that for a woman
that her parents'' family was very important, especially for noblewomen like them. If they didn''t have a
strong background from their parents'' sides, they would be reced and even abandoned by their
husbands sooner orter.
"Your parents'' family will be of great help to you," Hannah briefly reminded her. She could only speak in
vague terms when talking to Harper about this topic.
"If my grandmother was still alive, I would take care of the Chu n. That''s for sure. But she passed
away so soon. The Chu n without my grandmother is nothing to me. Besides, the only remaining
members of the n are Alexander and Gianna who are both children. Therefore, the Chu n had
already been destroyed so I don''t feel any burden to maintain it," Harper answered with ease, as if she
really didn''t care about the Chu n at all. However, she was actually just telling Hannah how she
really felt.
Hannah was about to persuade Harper otherwise but the nanny next to her pinched her arm a little.
Confused, she looked at the nanny who merely shook her head, implying that she shouldn''t talk about
this topic anymore. It was only then that Hannah finally understood. She swallowed the words that she
was about to say and asked instead, "How about having some more?" She changed the topic of the
conversation at once.
"I think I''m already full. Thank you for your kindness. I wasn''t able to eat anything yesterday and if I
suddenly ate too much, it would be bad for my body. Well, Wendy will wake up by tomorrow. She will
start her recovery and the wounds will heal in about half a month. By that time, she will be like a normal
healthy person," Harper said. She knew that everyone in the Shen n was concerned about Wendy.
After all, she was the apple of their eye and the main purpose for her staying in their mansion was to
save Wendy.
Hannah nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Since we''ve asked you to cure her, it only means that
we trust you. For the past years, we''ve been disappointed countless of times. Now, when I heard you
say that her body will soon be as healthy as that of the normal person, it feels so unreal. I''m so happy
that she could live like a normal girl who can jump and do whatever she wants to do."
