Chapter 952 Congrattions! (Part One)
After she came back from Darren''s room, Harper''s desire to create the antidote became fervent. There
was a renewed determination inside of her to decipher how to get rid of the poison inside Darren''s
body.
Rndo, on the other hand, started observing Harper more closely, rarely taking his eyes off her. To
him, her recent behaviors had been strange, especially the way she interacted with Darren—she
seemed to be particrly close to him. The moment she left his room, she couldn''t help but smile. It
was as if she was in an excellent mood despite what was happening.
As Rndo looked at the physicians helping Harper concoct an antidote, he signaled to her in their
secret code, saying, "Harper, I know there''s something wrong between you and Darren."
Harper didn''t reply nor stop what she was doing. She didn''t even look up at him. Rndo''s words just
flowed right through her, not ever reaching her.

Rndo knitted his eyebrows in confusion and continued signaling to her. "Harper, what if Matthew
finds out what happened today? Aren''t you afraid that he may sneak into Darren''s room tonight and
end his life due to jealousy?"
Finally, Harper cast Rndo a nce. It was a stare so cold that even Rndo, who had put her under
house arrest and had done a lot of things that hurt her, was taken aback. It was nothing he had seen
before, which said a lot considering his already strained rtionship with the woman.
"I won''t allow anyone to hurt him. Remember, no one!" Harper hissed, stressing their secret code. ''Not
Rndo, not Matthew—no one would hurt the current Darren, who is Chad, my brother in my previous
life!'' she thought. She was the only one who knew that the true Darren was already dead, and that the
current Darren was actually Chad, her brother of herst life. Anyone who dared hurt her beloved
brother would pay with his or her life!
Even though Rndo looked like he was intimidated by Harper''s threatening, deep inside, he actually
was extremely happy. Matthew was a very jealous man. If he found out that his wife cared about
Darren so much, he would undoubtedly be outraged and rushed to kill Darren!
Rndo was extremely curious as to what would happen if an angry Matthew and steadfast Harper
fought head-on
At that time, Matthew was interrogating Dous in the dungeon. He knew that Harper, being somewhat
rted to everyone and all things of the Qin n, wouldn''t be as cruel to them as he would be. But
since he didn''t have any feelings towards the Qin n, there was nothing stopping him to be as
merciless as he could be. And with that, he showed how cruel he could be to Dous.
"Dous, I''m not Harper. My patience is limited, and so is the mercy I feel in my heart. If you don''t want
spend your remaining days worse than a dead person, you''d better tell me everything you know,"
Matthew said coldly, his stare piercing and deadly. "And don''t count on Felton to save you. He knew it
would be better for him to let me do my job."
As Dous stared at the man threatening to kill him, he thought, ''No wonder Harper chose him! He is
not only heartless, but he is also good at hiding his monster nature!'' Suddenly, an idea crossed his
mind. "Matthew Jun, do you really love Harper?" he asked, a sneer on his lips. Yet, before he got any
kind of answer, his painful screaming had alreadymenced.
His screams echoed throughout the dungeon. "Dous, have I not made this whole thing clear?"
Matthew snarled. "The only thing you need to do is to answer my questions. Never did I say that you
are allowed to ask me any!"
Despite his condition, Dous was still able to conjure the energy tough. "Want to hear some good
news, Matthew?" he asked, his voice weak due to the pain he was feeling. There was an uncanny
meaningful smile on his lips.
Matthew''s eyes narrowed and said, "What?"
"Congrattions! You are going to be a father!" After a pause, Dous went on, still sporting a vicious
smile. "But unfortunately, good news inevitablyes with bad one. So for you, this is it: you''ll lose
your wife if you keep the baby. So, who would you save? Your wife or your baby?"
Matthew tried to recall everything he did with Harper. ''Impossible,'' he thought, his face not showing any
emotion. He had never stopped taking the medicine that would prevent him from impregnating Harper.
"You are lying," Matthew replied after pondering on it for a while.
"Are you sure? Have you confirmed it with Harper in person?" Dous spit out the blood in his mouth
and continued, "Or ask Felton. I''m sure he already knew. And it''s not just him. Most members of the
Qin n know of the situation, and they''re definitely worried about it."
"What do you mean?"
"Because if Harper died, they couldn''t get what they wanted. They will make every effort to get rid of
the child, or, get what they want before her delivery of the baby!" Dousughed crazily. "Matthew,
tell me, who do you want to keep, the child or the mother? If you choose to protect her, will she allow
you to harm her child? Do you think the others will agree if you keep the child?"
"Go to hell!" Matthew snapped and suddenly gripped Dous by his throat. Thetter''s face turned
pale and livid, but he was still wearing a smile on his face. The Qin n took him as a pawn, and
Matthew also wanted to use him. He wanted to see in the end, who would win among the three parties,
the Qin n who had been hiding and plotting in the dark for more than twenty years, the ruthless
Matthew, or Harper who was skilled in weighing the pros and cons and scheming.
After a while, Matthew managed to calm himself down and didn''t kill Dous. Then, he fluttered his
sleeves and left in a huff. He could have confirmed it with Felton about his wife''s pregnancy first, but he
wanted to ask her directly. So, he returned to the Phoenix City directly.
