For the sake of Wendy's successful recovery, Harper had asked Shawn to prepare a room with good lighting to be used during the entire treatment. After all, the surgery was complicated. She shouldn't make any mistake or else Wendy's life would be on the line. Just as so, Harper was actually committed in trying her best to keep Wendy safe.
With medicine boxes in her hands, Forsythia followed Harper on their way to Marquis Travis' mansion. Shawn and Hannah had actually been waiting very early at the entrance. As soon as they saw Harper in the distance, they approached her.
"Your Highness," Hannah greeted with a bow.
"Lady Hannah, Shawn." Harper greeted them back with a gentle smile.
"Your Highness, every requirement that you asked is ready." Meanwhile, Hannah looked very excited. "Wendy will try her best to cooperate with the treatment."
Harper nodded. She glanced at the senior physician standing behind Hannah and slowly said, "Since Wendy is willing to cooperate, that's great. And please understand that during the treatment, no one can stand by and watch. Of course, it goes without saying that no one can disturb me."
Hannah's face became a little stiff when she heard that. She turned to look at Darwin, the physician of her mansion who was standing behind her. Darwin had worked for them for many years. He was extremely ecstatic when he heard that Wendy's heart disease would be cured by Harper. He pleaded with the family to let him watch Harper's process of treatment. Now that Harper said her conditions, Hannah didn't know how to react.
"Your Highness, although my medical skills are not as good as yours, I have been a physician for many years. If you allow me to be with you during the treatment, maybe I can be of help. Please allow me to watch the process." Darwin tried to persuade her.
With a smile on her face, Harper still looked like she wanted to refuse them. She needed to perform a surgery in order to treat Wendy. Nobody there could withstand watching a thoracic surgery. If someone who witnessed the process was frightened, it would be a risk that might lead to Wendy's death. She wouldn't be able to defend herself if such a fateful thing were to happen.
"I have already told you that I don't like others watching me while I'm treating my patients." Harper was determined with her terms.
"Since Lady Harper doesn't like others to be there during the operation, please don't force her into changing her mind. If you have any questions or concerns, I believe Lady Harper will certainly answer you," Shawn immediately said to Darwin.
Hannah also agreed with him. "That's right, Lady Harper doesn't want to be disturbed during her treatment. This process is very delicate and not a single mistake can be made. Just let her do it herself in the way that she wants to."
Although Darwin really wanted to see the treatment, he knew that if Harper was so stern in refusing, there was no way that he would be granted access. Even though he could persuade Hannah, he wouldn't be able to even get close to Harper's treatment room. There must be countless of secret guards around her. If he were to take action, he would be killed by one of them before he could take one step inside the room. Moreover, Shawn wouldn't allow him to do that. It seemed like everyone was against his idea by then.
"If that's the case, can I help you in restoring Lady Wendy's health after your treatment? After all, I've been taking care of Lady Wendy all this time. I know her physical condition very well. Will that be all right?" Darwin had no other choice but to give up what he initially wanted.
"No problem." Harper agreed to his request right away. As long as he wouldn't touch the wound, there wouldn't be a huge problem if he were to take charge of the recovery process after her surgery.
