Meanwhile, it seemed like Harper had already foreseen Forsythia's reaction. Although Forsythia was surprised, she knew that
the only thing she could do as a secret guard was to be silent. While watching Harper perform the thoracic surgery, she was
actually too shocked to even say anything.
Wendy's heart disease was caused by the abnormality of her heart. Harper needed to open her chest and find the parts which
had been affected. With the help of her spiritual power and the medicine, she could restore her heart to its normal state. It was
an operation that needed so much precision so she couldn't make a single mistake.
Forsythia had a new-found respect for Harper. She had thought that once a person's chest was cut open, the person would
definitely die. However, Wendy was still alive. Even though her pulse was weak, she was still alive.
Forsythia had a lot of questions in her mind, but she didn't speak them out at that moment. Harper was very concentrated on the
operation so she didn't dare to disturb her lady. The operation was indeed very dangerous. She finally understood why Harper
didn't allow that physician to watch her treatment. If he had seen this operation, he would definitely stop her!
The operation lasted for a total of six hours. Shawn was personally guarding the ward by standing outside with his people. They
even prohibited anyone from approaching. Because the operation went on until it was night, dozens of luminous pearls were set
up in the room, making it as bright as day.
Harper finally restored Wendy's heart to its normal state. She carefully put Wendy's heart back to her chest and cautiously
stitched the rupture. She used the specially-made catgut suture in closing the wound so that there wouldn't be a need to take out
the suture in the future. She also tried her best to stitch the wound better so as not to leave ugly scars.
When Harper opened the door of the ward and came out, her face was a little pale. She immediately noticed that it was already
dark outside so she muttered, "Oh, it's dark now."
"Lady Harper, are you... okay?" Shawn asked with furrowed eyebrows. Harper's face looked so pale, as if she was so exhausted.
Harper shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, just a little tired. I can't leave your mansion yet as I have to monitor Wendy's
condition. Please arrange the nearest room for me so I can take some rest."
Shawn immediately went and arranged the place for Harper. It was in a small yard nearby. It was quiet and elegant, though it
wasn't that big. However, it was the closest one to Wendy's ward.
At the same time, Darwin had been anxiously waiting for a long time. He wanted to see how Wendy was doing, but when he tried
to go in, he was stopped by the secret guards.
"Why are you trying to stop me? I just want to go in and see Lady Wendy!" In fact, Darwin was a little anxious. He wanted to
know whether Harper had really cured Wendy. He had long arrived at the conclusion that Wendy's heart disease couldn't be
healed, but Harper said the exact opposite. Ever since he heard of Harper's claim, he had always felt that it was unreal, so he
was eager to watch Harper's treatment. As he couldn't do so, he wanted to know how Wendy was doing as soon as possible.
"No one is allowed to enter Lady Wendy's ward without Lady Harper's permission!" a secret guard firmly said. Harper had said
that it was a critical period for Wendy, and her survival would depend on whether she could recover or not that same night. As a
result, the place must be well guarded and no one was allowed to enter it.
"Lady Harper promised me that I could take care of Lady Wendy after her treatment. How can I help Lady Wendy in restoring her
health if I can't see her?" Darwin said, still trying to get inside.
Unlike the guards of Marquis Travis's mansion who treated Darwin with utmost respect, Harper's secret guards immediately
grabbed his collar and threw him out. Darwin almost broke his bones in the process.
Darwin got up from the ground, pointed at the secret guard Zorro's nose, and scolded him. "What a rude man! I'm just going to
take a look. I won't do anything to Lady Wendy. How can you stop me like this? Are you keeping her away from others because
Lady Harper's treatment has failed?"
Zorro folded his arms on top of his chest and looked at Darwin impassively. No matter what he said, no one was allowed to enter
the room. That was the rule. When Darwin realized that he couldn't persuade Zorro into letting him enter the room, Darwin
immediately planned to get some people to break in.
"If anyone dares to break in, I'll kill him myself!" Shawn's rigid tone stopped Darwin in his tracks. He froze and turned around to
look at Shawn.
"My Lord, Lady Harper had been very busy inside for a total of six hours, but she didn't tell us Lady Wendy's current situation,
nor is she allowing anyone to visit her. No one knows how Lady Wendy is doing right now. Who knows if she has already—"
"Shut up!" Shawn yelled right in his face to cut him off. "I trust Lady Harper's medical skills! She didn't say that she failed so the
operation must be successful or at least in the track that it was supposed to go. If you continue to make trouble here, you will be
evicted from the mansion!"
Darwin stared at Shawn in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would defend Harper to this extent. After all, the woman lying inside
the ward was his sister. Wasn't he worried about her?
"Well, since you're not worried about Lady Wendy's health, I won't meddle in other people's business anymore. You don't need to
evict me. I'm going to leave myself. Goodbye."
"Fine, just leave!" Shawn casually exclaimed.
