Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 830

"How are things going? Is there any news?" Travis asked anxiously as soon as he saw the steward.

In an uncertain tone, the steward answered, "I heard that the treatment went smoothly. However, I was told that Lady Harper isn't allowing anybody to visit Lady Wendy. Even Darwin, the physician in our mansion, was driven out. He was so angry that he left."

"Why did she drive Darwin away?" Travis shouted angrily. "He has been taking care of Wendy's health ever since she was young! Now that Harper drove him away, who will look after our Wendy?" His eyes were seeing red. "I'm going there and let her have a piece of my mind! Let me see how overbearing she is! How dare she come to my mansion and drive people away?!" Travis was already on his feet, ready to go.

"Stop!" Hannah shouted angrily. "Come back here! Sit down!"

Travis stopped in his tracks and said, "I'm just going to see what's going on! How could you side with the opponent? That Harper is literally bullying us in our mansion!"

"Shut up!" Hannah shouted back. She was a woman who seldom lost her temper, but once rage took over her, even Travis had to listen to what she had to say. It was not until he sat down that she looked at the steward and asked, "Was Darwin driven out of the mansion by Lady Harper herself?"

"No," replied the steward. "Marquis Shawn did that."

"Why did Shawn do that?!" Travis whined again. "I swear to God he is obsessed with that woman..." He was about to say more, but when he saw his wife cast him a fierce glare, he quickly shut his mouth up. After a few moments, he meekly said to the steward, "On with the news."

"Lady Harper spent six hours tending to Lady Wendy. When she came out, she looked pale and weak. Marquis Shawn arranged the house next door for her to rest tonight. Darwin wanted to seize the chance to break into Lady Wendy's room and find out how Lady Harper treated Lady Wendy, but he was stopped by one of Lady Harper's guards."

"So Shawn drove Darwin away just because of that?" Travis asked in disbelief.

The steward answered hesitantly, "The secret guard stopped Darwin from coming into Lady Wendy's room. While Darwin was talking with the secret guard and trying to convince him to let him see Lady Wendy, Marquis Shawn just happened to arrive. He saw what was happening and immediately decided to send Darwin away."

Upon realizing that Darwin was in the wrong, Travis immediately realized that he should stop talking about things he knew nothing about. "So if Darwin didn't pester the guard about seeing Lady Wendy, he wouldn't have been sent away; am I right?" Hannah asked.

"Yes, My Lady," the steward answered. Hannah then cast a glare towards Travis' direction, but this time, he just ignored it because of shame. As a follow-up, Hannah asked, "How is Lady Harper, by the way?" Concern was evident in her voice. "Is she okay?"

"She didn't look very well," the steward answered. "Her face was rather pale when she came out of Lady Wendy's room. She also walked in a wobbly way. One of her maids has been staying in Lady Wendy's room to take care of her, while Lady Harper herself is having a rest next door. And Marquis Shawn..."

"What's wrong with me?" Shawn's voice suddenly came through. As soon as the steward heard that, he stopped speaking and greeted Shawn. "My Lord," he said.
