Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 610

"When did I say that I don't like kids?" Matthew asked, still as patient as he could be.

"Didn't you run away when you found out that I was pregnant? Didn't you say that you don't want a baby?"

At once, it seemed like there was a visible dark cloud on Matthew's face. The truth was that he didn't know what to do when he heard about her pregnancy. So he rushed to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to call out all of the imperial physicians. He then forced them to write down every precaution for pregnant women. His mistake was that he didn't take into account the possibility that Harper would have misunderstood his actions. She even thought that he didn't like children so the idea of having a child scared him to death and fled.

Matthew put down the bowl and calmly said, "I did not run away. Also, it didn't mean that I don't like kids! It's the first time that I'm going to be a father. I don't know what to do, so I went to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to ask the imperial physicians about what I should do during your pregnancy."

It was Harper's time to not know what to do or feel or say. She was frozen for a few moments. She had been furious for quite some time, but it turned out all of her anger was useless. It was not that Matthew didn't like children. He liked children too much. He just didn't know what to do so he went to seek help from the imperial physicians!

Harper reached out and pinched his ear before saying, "Are you saying that the imperial physicians of the Imperial Academy of Medicine have better medical skills than me?"

Matthew looked at her in the eyes and sincerely said, "You know very well that's not what I meant. It's also your first time being pregnant. So, you may not know every single thing that should be known. Just in case, I gathered all the imperial physicians of the academy and ordered them to write down all reminders, precautions, and suggestions without missing a single one. I'm just worried about you. After all, you were hurt before because of me. I'm afraid that your body wouldn't be able to bear the pain and it'll affect your pregnancy."

"Well, I forgive you." Harper had never been a stubborn person. Moreover, she was not a person who liked to hold grudges against people. She had been so mad when she saw Matthew run away as if he had seen a ghost. But now that she knew the truth, her anger simply vanished into thin air.

"It's good that you're not mad anymore. Here, take this. It's medicine for the prevention of miscarriage." Matthew quickly handed the medicine to Harper. She smelled it and immediately knew that it would have a bitter taste. It smelt so bad that it almost made her throw up. Immediately, she turned her face away.

"Every medicine has its side effects, right? I don't want to drink it!"

"Harp, please be good. The imperial physician said that you need to take the medicine for the first three months. When you're in a stable condition already, you don't need to drink it anymore. So, you only need to take it for a few weeks."

Harper pushed the bowl away and exclaimed, "No, it's bitter and stinky!" It puts me in a bad mood just looking at the medicine. And if I'm in a bad mood, it will affect the baby in my womb. It's up to you!"

Matthew took the bowl, as confused as ever if he should put it down or not. The imperial physician told him that a pregnant woman needed to take the medicine to prevent the miscarriage. He knew the medicine was bitter, but he also knew that it would be helpful to her. The only problem was that she refused to take it. Therefore, he had no other choice. He took a swig of the medicine and fed it directly into Harper's mouth.
