Chapter 882 The Punishment On A Rainy Night (Part Two)
After a long time, Harper put on her clothes and went to the cab. Upon seeing that, Matthew stood
up, and anxiously asked, "Where are you going?"
Without answering him, Harper opened the cab, took out a set of clothes, and put it on. Then she
took out a small medicine box and put it on the table. She impassively looked at him and said, "Take off
your clothes."
Without hesitation, Matthew did as she asked in a hurry. His blood had already dried. Yet, he took off
his clothes too abrasively. The wound that had stopped bleeding started to ooze out blood again.
Looking at the wound on his body, Harper felt so worried and her eyes showed great concern. She
cleaned and bandaged the wound with medicine. During the entire time, Matthew didn''t say anything or
dare to cry out in pain. Earlier, he had the upper hand. However, because of his irrational behaviors, he
lost that so he couldn''t even dare to say a word.
After dealing with Matthew''s wound, Harper stated, "You can leave now."
"Okay, you should go with me. You are my wife, not Rndo''s consort. You can''t live here," Matthew
said while he put on his clothes.
"I don''t know if I care about your feelings. So it doesn''t matter if I stay here or not," With a snort, Harper
took off her shoes,y on the bed, and turned her back to him. It was obvious that she was still upset
and mad at him.
Matthew took off his shoes as well andy on the bed. Regardless of Harper''s refusal, he promptly
dragged her into his arms. "I won''t leave. Let''s sleep now. I had been traveling day and night, and
haven''t slept for several days."
Hearing that, Harper stopped struggling, as she was worried that she would hurt his wound again.
Despite that, she didn''t want to forgive him so easily. In the middle of trying to move away from
Matthew and being extremely distressed, Harper gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, when Harper woke up, she didn''t saw anybody beside her. She sat up and noticed
that the bed sheet was clean. There wasn''t a single drop of blood on it. She was wearing the clean
underwear that she worest night. Scanning around her room, she didn''t find any trace of anyone
coming in there.
A look of confusion appeared in her eyes. Didn''t Matthewest night? Was she thinking about
something else and having a dream? Was all of it an illusion? But the dream was too real. The feeling
of the blood dripping from the wound on Matthew''s body was also very real. With these thoughts in
mind, Harper got up from the bed, stood in front of a bronze mirror, took off her clothes, and found no
mark on her body!
"Is it really a dream?" Harper put on her clothes, looking more confused than ever. Soon enough,
Rndo came to her pce and saw her standing in front of the bronze mirror in a daze.
"Harper, what''s the matter? Did you sleep wellst night?"
Harper nodded slightly. Whatever happened right then was so real, but there was no trace of it left.
What the hell was going on? Had Matthewe to see her or not? Was everything that happenedst
night really a dream?
Rndo waved the box in his hand and said, "I''ve brought the Heavenly Book here."
Harper looked at Rndo in surprise. She couldn''t believe he would bring the book to her so easily.
She believed that he had ulterior motives or would make some unreasonable requests.
Instead of taking the box from him, she looked at him without any expression and asked, "What do you
want?"
"Will you give me whatever I want?" Rndo asked softly while looking intently at her.
Harper shook his head and said, "I can only give you anything that is within my capabilities."
Rndo smiled bitterly. "Get dressed ande out for breakfast. Let''s talk while eating."
Looking at her clothes, Harper hid behind the screen and got dressed. After washing up, she then
came out. Rndo was already sitting at the table, pouring himself and Harper some porridge. "Take a
seat. We have an imperial chef who can cook the local cuisine of the Bright Dynasty''s imperial capital.
Have a try and tell me if it suits your taste."
Harper sat down, took the porridge, and thanked Rndo. As usual, he then picked up more dishes for
her and said, "Harper, have some more. You look thinner."
Harper only kept silent and ate her food because she knew that Rndo wouldn''t easily give the book
to her. For certain, he must have a condition. Yet, she wouldn''t agree to it unless she knew what it was.
When he noticed that Harper was kind of absent-minded, Rndo knew that she was on guard against
him. She must be in fear that he would put forward some presumptuous demands. "I''ll give you the
Heavenly Book, but I have one request," he said.
Harper put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Rndo, and asked seriously, "What kind of
request?"
The smile on Rndo''s face looked warm. "I''m sure you can do it. Tell me the contents recorded in the
book. Is that possible?"
"That''s it? There''s nothing else that you want?" Harper couldn''t believe her ears. If he just wanted to
know the contents recorded in the book, she would certainly agree.
"Do you want me to have other requests?" Rndo asked in a low voice, staring at her.

"I promise you, it''s the only thing I''m asking for." Averse to meet Rndo''s affectionate eyes, Harper
turned her head to avoid eye contact with him. She had to refuse his love as she was Matthew''s
wife.
