Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 819

Upon seeing Hannah, Shawn's mother, who just arrived at her doorstep, Harper was taken aback. The next second, she noticed that Shawn also came along with her. She immediately realized that Hannah must have come to confirm if she could really cure her daughter. After all, Wendy was Hannah's only daughter so she couldn't take any risks. Even though Harper had already told Shawn that there was an 80% chance that she could cure Wendy, Hannah still personally came to confirm it.

Performing the role of the mansion's hostess, Harper welcomed them inside. "Lady Hannah and Shawn, please have a seat. Nina, make a pot of tea with the new tea leaves that I brought back from the South Kingdom for our guests."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Even though Hannah had taken a considerable amount of time thinking and rehearsing about what to say, she suddenly forgot all of them when Harper was in front of her. In fact, she had a lot of things that she wanted to say and ask, but Harper looked quite intimidating. For a moment, Hannah found it hard to speak.

After the hot tea was served, Hannah sipped her tea before saying, "Your Highness, Shawn told us that you can cure my daughter. Travis and I have been very excited since we heard that, so we came to express our gratitude."

"Lady Hannah, please don't say that. I haven't started the treatment for your daughter yet. As of now, I am only 80% sure that it will work. It's too early for you to express any kind of gratitude. After all, I've been friends with Shawn for a long time. Also, I just acquired a few herbs that could cure heart disease. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare offer to cure your daughter," Harper said with a smile.

Looking at the peaceful expression on Harper's face, Hannah thought, 'Sure enough, you can't be underestimated. My husband made a mistake. I'm just afraid that in the past, you ruined your reputation on purpose for reasons that we don't know.'

"Your Highness, you said that you're 80% sure. I think the probability of success is very high. So I'm here to ask how our family should show our gratitude to you for curing my daughter." Hannah cautiously asked. As far as she was concerned, since Harper was offering them such a great favor, they would certainly pay a heavy price.

"Well, you've already paid for that." Harper looked at Shawn. Their glorious win at the Birch Pass battle wouldn't have been achieved so smoothly if it hadn't been for Shawn. So Harper had long thought that she should give him something in return.

"We've already paid you?" Hannah looked at Shawn in surprise who looked rather confused as well. He had no idea when he had given anything to Harper.

"If it wasn't for Shawn's help, Matthew and I wouldn't be able to control the Birch Pass so quickly. So, in retrospect, you've already given us something. You don't have to worry about anything, Lady Hannah," Harper lightly said.

Hannah stared at Harper for a long time without saying a word. She had thought that the latter would demand a very unreasonable price. In fact, Hannah was well-prepared for that or anything that Harper might ask. But Harper told her so casually that they wouldn't owe her anything, just because Shawn obeyed all of their orders and helped them in the battle. From Hannah's perspective, what her son did couldn't be regarded as anything close to a "debt".

Shawn had clearly been ordered to aid in the Birch Pass. No matter who was in the Birch Pass, he would have supported them. But Harper took Shawn's obligatory support as if he had done it by his own free will.
