Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 116

Sue's condition continued worsening with each passing day. It even came to a point where she could no longer take care of herself at all. Because of that, Charles had completely lost interest in her and had no plans to visit her whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he even ordered his servants to have Sue moved out of her place and take her into a relatively remote house. But worst of all, there were only two maids taking care of her right now.

In order to make sure that Hailey would stop looking into the fact that Sue had been poisoned, Charles forbade everyone from paying Sue a visit—including Hailey, of course. The way things stood, it was rather apparent that he had totally given up on Sue already. Apart from that, Mavis steadily and persistently refused to register Hailey as Kelly's daughter, leaving Hailey feeling extremely irritated and worried. If Sue succumbed to the poison, Hailey knew full well that her chances of being registered as Kelly's daughter would be close to none. If it came to that, she would be caught up in an even worse situation.

"My Lady, I just saw Lacy passing by," Tina reported to Harper as soon as she entered the room. "Lacy went to meet Prime Minister Charles earlier. It appears that Lady Sue's condition has been improving lately and she wants to see him. But he refused to go and see her."

"She's starting to feel better?" Harper asked, feeling a little surprised. After all, she was well aware of how the Nightmare worked. Once a person had been poisoned by it, their body would gradually get weaker. Yet here Tina was, informing her that Sue was getting better. Could it be because Charles had stopped poisoning Sue that her body was starting to recover? Even Harper had no idea. Still, she thought she should pay her a visit to see for herself and find out what was really happening.

The place where Sue was currently staying in was so quiet and peaceful. With the guards at the entrance fast asleep, a black figure managed to sneak into the house. Who would have thought someone would come to visit this place this late in the evening?

"Lacy, does he still not want to come here to see me?" Sue asked, her voice sounding so weak. Due to the poison, she had lost a lot of weight. To make matters worse, she barely ate anything because she had no appetite. Right now, she was almost just skin and bones, making her look a bit terrifying.

Hearing this, Lacy simply shook her head and replied, "I didn't even get to see him, My Lady. He made it obvious that he did not want to see me at all. So, I failed to deliver your message to him. Please forgive me for being so useless, My Lady."

Sue's face instantly turned blue with anger. As she gasped for air, she said, "He has really turned into such a ruthless person. As if it wasn't bad enough that he left me here despite knowing that I was sick, now he even refused to come and see me!"

Just as she was saying that, the door was suddenly swung open. The two of them were startled by this. But when they realized who the person was, a glimmer of hope appeared in the Sue's eyes.

"Hailey, did you come here to see me?" Sue asked, unable to hide the excitement in her voice.
