    Chapter 817 Prejudice (Part One)


    At that time, the entire Travis'' mansion was extraordinarily quiet. While Travis himself remained silent,


    his wife, Hannah looked very serious. They were taken aback by the fact that Shawn suddenly arrived,


    taking Wendy back from the south region.


    "Shawn, do you know that Wendy..." Hannah wanted to say something but she hesitated. After all, this


    was her biological daughter that they were speaking of. As her mother, she had always been aware of


    what was on Wendy''s mind. If it was not for her weak physical state, she would havepeted with


    Harper. Now, she was being forced to bow her head and ask Harper to cure her. Because of this, she


    was afraid that Wendy wouldn''t ept the treatment.


    "Father, Mother, I just told you that I had already agreed to let Princess Harper cure Wendy. Wendy''s


    condition is getting worse and worse by the day. Let''s not lie to each other. For a long time, I know that


    all of us have been thinking about the same thing. We must do something. And right now, this once in a


    lifetime chance is beingid out in front of us. We can''t waste any more time. If we just wait here and


    argue with each other, she''s going to die. Harper said that there''s an 80% chance that Wendy will be


    cured. I really think that we should give it a try," Shawn insisted. He also knew what kind of a person his


    sister was. But when it came to her own life, he couldn''t save her if she didn''t want to stay alive.


    Initially, Hannah was against the idea. But when she heard what Shawn said, she fell into silence. If her


    daughter had a chance to survive and live like a normal person, then she was willing to give it a shot.


    But would Wendy agree to it?


    "I understand what you''re saying, but I''m afraid Wendy won''t agree to it."


    "If she dies, she will have nothing. But if she can live, she can have everything." While Shawn was


    speaking, his attention was veered to the door. He saw a figure which seemingly left in an instant. He


    knew then that Wendy was eavesdropping outside. But he wasn''t rmed because when he said those


    words, he spoke very loudly on purpose so that Wendy could hear him. If she died, all her wishes and


    hopes would be in vain. On the contrary, everything would be possible if she could survive.


    "Then allow Harper to cure her. Is she asking for anything in return?" Travis finally spoke although he


    was a little uneasy.


    After all, the people from Prince Matthew''s mansion were not easy to deal with. Harper offered to cure


    Wendy so she must have some other purpose for doing so. He was worried that they couldn''t afford


    such a price.


    "No, she isn''t." It was just three simple words, but it made Travis look like a viin who misjudged a


    decent and innocent people. For a moment, he was petrified.


    "S-she''s not asking for anything?" Hannah also found it hard to believe. In the past few years, they had


    visited a lot of famous physicians all over the country. They had even asked thete emperor to offer a


    reward in order to find somebody who could cure Wendy. Unfortunately, there was no one who became


    sessful in doing so. Now, Harper was iming that she found a way to cure Wendy. But the most


    surprising thing was that she wasn''t asking for anything in return at all.


    It wasn''t that Hannah was worried about Harper''s abilities, but she had some other doubts. "As far as I


    know, you begged for her help before. She said she couldn''t cure Wendy. Why is she saying that she


    can do it now?"


    Shawn frowned a little. "She went to the South Kingdom and entered the Labyrinth Swamp."


    Travis stood up in shock and then slowly sat down. "Did she acquire the medicine that can cure Wendy


    from the Labyrinth Swamp?"


    Shawn nodded and said, "Actually, she almost died several times when she went to the South


    Kingdom. At that time, she was forced to enter the Labyrinth Swamp, but she had enough concern to


    think about Wendy''s disease..."


    Travis heaved a sigh. For all the time, they weren''t fond of Matthew''s family, not only because he was


    intimidating and cold-hearted, but also because Harper was from the Chu n, which didn''t have a


    good reputation themselves. The former prime minister, Charles was extremely greedy for profits.


    Howard was vicious, ruthless, treacherous, and rebellious. In their opinion, Harper, the daughter of


    Charles''te wife, had an extremely bad reputation. Travis had even prevented his son from being


    friends with her.


    "But even if we want the best for Wendy, it''s still not wise to deal with the Chu n," Travis helplessly


    said.


    "Father, have you forgotten that the Chu n had already been destroyed? At this moment, only two of


    their children are left. Their influence and power are significantly weaker than before," Shawn lightly


    said.


    "Princess Harper —" Travis tried to respond but Shawn cut him off.


    "Princess Harper  is Prince Matthew''s wife now. Don''t forget that. If she has any evil intention and it isn''t


    wise to be associated with her, do you think that the current emperor would have seeded to the


    throne today?" Shawn thought his father was really getting old now, as he wasn''t as smart as before to


    see through people. If it was true that Harper was a bad person, the emperor would by no means


    ascend the throne.


    "That''s because Prince Matthew —"


    "Yes, he''s powerful. And everything that his wife wants, including the throne, he would turn the world


    just to give it to her," Shawn casually said, without thinking that his words were not appropriate.


    Travis was so furious that his eyes were fuming with rage. He wanted to scold his son, but after


    thinking about it, he realized that Shawn had a point. Indeed, the Bu n was full of cunning people.


    But for some reason, they had be fond of Harper. If she was a wretched person, they wouldn''t


    have protected her all this time.


    "If Princess Harper had asked for anything in return, it would have been a relief for us. But she didn''t.


    So I''m just afraid..." Travis was quite worried. After all, what Harper would do for them was a great


    favor. If for example, Matthew were to threaten Shawn into doing something that was against their


    morality, how could they refuse?This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
