Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 814

"My intellect? It's all thanks to her." The corners of Matthew's mouth lifted a little to form a small smile.

Lucas immediately understood that the "her" who Matthew was referring to was none other than Harper. She was like a mystery. People had thought that she was arrogant and intimidating, but she turned out to be kind-hearted in nature. They had also thought that she was weak and easy to push around, but she had thrown her enemies into hell while wearing a smile on her face. Harper was a woman of principle. Even an emperor was not capable of making her give up what she truly believed in.

"By the way, is there something that you're hiding about having a child?" Lucas finally asked. He was not a fool. When he mentioned it earlier, the expression on Harper's face immediately changed. So did Matthew's, and even Zack's behavior became strange.

Matthew didn't answer the question. He didn't know how to tell Lucas or even, if he should tell him something so close and personal to him and Harper. But there was one thing he was sure of. If he had to risk Harper's life just to have a child, he would rather give up having the greatest child in the world.

For some reason, Matthew's silence made Lucas realize that it wasn't that they didn't want a child, but they couldn't. Lucas supposed that perhaps, the reason had something to do with the Qin Clan. The couple had been investigating the affairs of the clan for a long time now. Perhaps, one of these days, their efforts would bear fruition, changing things for the better.

"Uncle Matthew, things will definitely turn around. Aunt Harper has excellent medical skills, probably the best in the world. I'm sure she will find a way to solve the problem," Lucas said, trying to comfort Matthew.

Matthew nodded and said, "Again, it's getting late. You should go back to the Imperial Palace now. As an emperor, you can't just do whatever you want like before when you were a prince."

"You're right, Uncle Matthew. It's time for me to return to the Imperial Palace." Lucas stood up and was about to leave. "Uncle Matthew, are you going to leave with me?"

"No, I'm going to pick up Harper."

In the Kong Clan's mansion, Franklin and Isabella were anxiously pacing back and forth outside of Caroline's room. George was by the door as well, looking as worried as ever. As Caroline's screams continued to reverberate in the room, they were all very nervous. However, they knew that every woman had to go through this to give birth. So the only thing that they could do was to try and keep calm.

"Ahhh! It hurts!"

"My Lady, push! Push!" the midwife exclaimed very loudly, urging Caroline to exert more strength. When Harper arrived at the Kong Clan mansion, both Franklin and Isabella let out a sigh of relief.

"Harper, you're back."

With a smile, Harper greeted the old couple, "Mr. and Mrs. Bu, I'm glad I made it back in time. I'll go and check on Caroline right away."

"Okay, okay, okay," Isabella responded in a rush.

Harper pushed the door open and entered the room where Caroline was giving birth. When the midwife saw a woman who she didn't know come in, she was immediately disturbed. "Why did you come in here? What are you doing? You will only cause trouble. Get out right now!"

With a frown, Harper just strode to the bed. At that moment, Caroline was soaking in her own sweat. More importantly, she was hurting so bad that she was almost losing her mind. But as soon as she saw Harper, a surge of newly found energy flowed through her. "Harper, you're back."
