Chapter 821 An Abundance Of Old Friends (Part One)


    Since Harper was starting to believe that Rndo was gay, Matthew wanted to water the seeds that he


    had nted in her mind.


    "Miguel is hostile to you because Rndo saved your life at the cost of one of his own arms. Look at it


    from Miguel''s perspective. What kind of feelings must Rndo have for you that he was so willing to


    give up a part of him just to save you?" The expression on Matthew''s face remained as normal as it


    could get, but he wasughing so much inside. He thought to himself, ''You are too naive to go against


    me, Rndo.''


    Harper narrowed her eyes when she heard what Matthew said. "He''s hostile to me because Rndo


    gave up his arm for me?" She voiced out her thoughts at the moment.


    Matthew frowned a bit with Harper''s reaction. He coughed a few times to clear his throat before saying,


    "Harp, you see, it''s more than that. Rndo has never been with a woman before. But he was more


    than willing to lose an arm for you. It made Miguel misunderstand that Rndo likes you. Miguel then


    became afraid that Rndo was going to abandon him. That''s why he sees you as an enemy, a rival,


    and apetition. However, he didn''t dare to show it in public because he didn''t want the others to


    know that the emperor and the prime minister of the Great Jade Kingdom are gay. So, the only thing he


    can do is treat you with hostility from time to time but in a subtle way, so that no one will notice what


    he''s doing."


    Harper nodded. She thought that Matthew gave her the reasonable exnation that she was looking


    for. She had been wondering why Miguel would be so hostile to her from the first time they met. Now


    the puzzle had been solved.


    "But there is nothing going on between me and Rndo. Miguel is being jealous for no reason," Harper


    said, still a little confused.


    "A man who is deep in love is not rational at all. He has long regarded you as a rival and it will be hard


    to change his mind. So, from now on, stay away from Rndo, in case Miguel finally reaches his limit


    and uses some dirty trick to hurt you," Matthew reminded Harper, trying to sound very serious.


    "Okay, I got it." Harper nodded at once.


    Matthew was very satisfied with the result of his n. "Anyway, how long will it take to diagnose and


    cure Wendy? The grand ceremony to crown the empress of the Great Jade Kingdom will take ce on


    the fifteenth of the next month. Do you think we''ll have enough time?"


    "I need to prepare some things first, for that, I need three days. After trying out the treatment on her, I


    need a few days to observe her condition, to see if there are anyplications that she may


    experience. The other physicians may not be able to deal with all of it, so I have to do it myself. There''s


    a lot to do, but I think we have enough time. In the worst-case scenario, you can go ahead to the Great


    Jade Kingdom first. After things have been settled down here, I''ll be on my way as soon as possible.


    Wendy''s condition has something to do with her heart, so I can''t be careless. Any minor mistakes may


    kill her," Harper quickly exined.


    "You do remember that it''s not your responsibility to save her."


    "I know. But since there''s a way to cure her, I think I should do it, at least for Shawn''s sake. By the way,


    I noticed that Travis'' wife seems like quite a reasonable woman. Why did she choose to marry


    someone as irrational as Travis?" Harper lightly asked.


    The corner of Matthew''s mouth slightly twitched at Harper''s question. He suddenly realized that


    perhaps, others must have also been thinking that Harper was a reasonable person, while he was an


    irrational person, so Harper shouldn''t have married him. Matthew started to ask himself, ''Well... which


    part of me actually attracted her?''This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    While thinking about it, Matthew quietly sighed in his mind. The truth was that Harper didn''t even like


    him from the beginning. If he hadn''t been such a resourceful and skillful man who got the upper hand in


    thepetition and made her his, her heart would have certainly been taken away by other men.


    "By the way, the baby of the Kong n will be baptized tomorrow. Are you going to attend?" Matthew


    changed the topic.


    "Of course I will. I have to prepare a decent gift for them as well. Actually, Franklin said that it''s going to


    be a simple gathering for family and friends, and there is no need to hold a huge feast to entertain


    everyone. But I still think that it will be better if Ie with a gift," Harper stated with a smile.


    "You are really so kind to them. I''m jealous, to tell you the truth," Matthew said, admitting his honest


    feelings.


    Harper stood up and hugged his waist from behind. "After we get the Heavenly Book, let''s have a baby,


    too. What do you say?"


    A trace of delight shed across Matthew''s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it before Harper saw it. "I


    have you and that''s more than enough," he said as lovingly as he could.


    But Harper knew what was on Matthew''s mind. He must have been aware of her physical condition, so


    he didn''t dare to mention anything about the baby. It could also be the reason why the expression on


    his face extremely changed when Lucas said the word "baby" in front of them, just the other day.


    "Was it Felton who told you about it?" Harper asked.


    Upon hearing that, Matthew fell into a deep silence. It was, in fact, Felton who had told him. The man


    said that Harper couldn''t get pregnant because giving birth will definitely kill her. So from then on,


    Matthew didn''t dare to think about anything that had to do with a baby, nor did he want it. A child was


    just an additional gift to their already happy life. But if a child should be given to them at the cost of


    Harper''s life, he would rather not have one.


    "I swear that guy has such a big mouth! He can''t just make it a big deal and exaggerate the situation


    when it''s still not sure if there''s a way to solve the problem," Harper said and pouted with utmost


    disappointment.


    "You mean there might be a way?" Matthew was surprised. For a second, he thought that Harper must


    have been justforting him.


    "The queen of South Kingdom told me some information about it. She said that it was because my


    spiritual power hasn''t been baptized. If I give birth to a child now, my spiritual power will bepletely


    absorbed by the child. And without my spiritual power to support me, I will be weak and eventually die


    in the delivering process. But this won''t happen after I''m baptized," Harper slowly exined.


    "What exactly is this baptism that you''re telling me?" Matthew quickly asked, eager and enthusiastic


    about the possibility of having a child without losing his wife.


    "This is the part that I''m not so sure of. The queen said that after we have gathered the Sacred Seals,


    they will guide me in finding the Death Pool of the Qin n, where I can receive the baptism. But


    before that, I have to learn all the cultivation methods written in the Heavenly Book. So I must see the


    content on Rndo''s Heavenly Book. Only when all the books are gathered and studied can I tell what


    kind of cultivation methods I have to practice." Harper found it hard to exin the matter, but she tried


    really hard to do it for Matthew.
