For the sake of Wendy's successful recovery, Harper had asked Shawn to prepare a room with good lighting to be used during
the entire treatment. After all, the surgery was complicated. She shouldn't make any mistake or else Wendy's life would be on
the line. Just as so, Harper was actually committed in trying her best to keep Wendy safe.
With medicine boxes in her hands, Forsythia followed Harper on their way to Marquis Travis' mansion. Shawn and Hannah had
actually been waiting very early at the entrance. As soon as they saw Harper in the distance, they approached her.
"Your Highness," Hannah greeted with a bow.
"Lady Hannah, Shawn." Harper greeted them back with a gentle smile.
"Your Highness, every requirement that you asked is ready." Meanwhile, Hannah looked very excited. "Wendy will try her best to
cooperate with the treatment."
Harper nodded. She glanced at the senior physician standing behind Hannah and slowly said, "Since Wendy is willing to
cooperate, that's great. And please understand that during the treatment, no one can stand by and watch. Of course, it goes
without saying that no one can disturb me."
Hannah's face became a little stiff when she heard that. She turned to look at Darwin, the physician of her mansion who was
standing behind her. Darwin had worked for them for many years. He was extremely ecstatic when he heard that Wendy's heart
disease would be cured by Harper. He pleaded with the family to let him watch Harper's process of treatment. Now that Harper
said her conditions, Hannah didn't know how to react.
"Your Highness, although my medical skills are not as good as yours, I have been a physician for many years. If you allow me to
be with you during the treatment, maybe I can be of help. Please allow me to watch the process." Darwin tried to persuade her.
With a smile on her face, Harper still looked like she wanted to refuse them. She needed to perform a surgery in order to treat
Wendy. Nobody there could withstand watching a thoracic surgery. If someone who witnessed the process was frightened, it
would be a risk that might lead to Wendy's death. She wouldn't be able to defend herself if such a fateful thing were to happen.
"I have already told you that I don't like others watching me while I'm treating my patients." Harper was determined with her
terms.
"Since Lady Harper doesn't like others to be there during the operation, please don't force her into changing her mind. If you
have any questions or concerns, I believe Lady Harper will certainly answer you," Shawn immediately said to Darwin.
Hannah also agreed with him. "That's right, Lady Harper doesn't want to be disturbed during her treatment. This process is very
delicate and not a single mistake can be made. Just let her do it herself in the way that she wants to."
Although Darwin really wanted to see the treatment, he knew that if Harper was so stern in refusing, there was no way that he
would be granted access. Even though he could persuade Hannah, he wouldn't be able to even get close to Harper's treatment
room. There must be countless of secret guards around her. If he were to take action, he would be killed by one of them before
he could take one step inside the room. Moreover, Shawn wouldn't allow him to do that. It seemed like everyone was against his
idea by then.
"If that's the case, can I help you in restoring Lady Wendy's health after your treatment? After all, I've been taking care of Lady
Wendy all this time. I know her physical condition very well. Will that be all right?" Darwin had no other choice but to give up what
he initially wanted.
"No problem." Harper agreed to his request right away. As long as he wouldn't touch the wound, there wouldn't be a huge
problem if he were to take charge of the recovery process after her surgery.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Hannah then invited Harper inside. "This way, please, Your Highness." Wendy had already been waiting for her in the so-called
ward. When she saw Harper, a calm smile on her delicate face instantly appeared.
"Your Highness."
"Lady Wendy, it seems like you're ready for the treatment. I'm glad to see that. I hope that you will finally have a normal life after
the successful operation," Harper said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Harper then instructed Forsythia, "Help Lady Wendy take the anesthesia powder with water."
"Yes, My Lady." Forsythia immediately took out the anesthesia powder from the medicine box, added it to a bowl of water, and
handed it to Wendy. "Lady Wendy, please take this medicine."
"What's this?" Wendy asked with a confused expression on her face. She didn't stretch out her hand to take the medicine.
"As a patient, you just need to obey what the physician says." The expression on Harper's face was still gentle, but she didn't
give Wendy the right to refuse. She must take the anesthesia powder. Otherwise, the extreme pain might kill her.
After hesitating for a while, Wendy finally took the bowl and drank it up. "What's the use of this medicine?"
"It will help you have a good sleep during the treatment," Harper said with a wide smile.
With a frown, Wendy thought, 'Is it necessary to make me sleep during the treatment of my heart disease? If yes, then why?
What does Harper want to do?' For a second, Wendy wanted to regret drinking the medicine, but it was too late. In no time, she
could feel several figures standing in front of her while her body was on the verge of collapse.
In a rush, Forsythia held Wendy in her arms and helped her lie down on the bed. Then, Harper opened the concealed
compartment of her medicine box. There was a set of tools in it. She then put on a pair of silk gloves and asked Forsythia to take
off Wendy's clothes.
"Lady Wendy, can you hear me?" Harper called out, trying to see if she was responsive. When Wendy didn't move after a while,
Harper announced, "We can start now."
Even though Forsythia truly believed in Harper's medical skills, she was too scared with everything that the surgery entailed that
she couldn't move at all. She stood aside with her mouth open, not knowing how to react. Her eyes were very wide while she
was in total silence.
