Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 848

"I was still young, and all the more I wanted to check out places where the more I'm prohibited from. One day, I went over the wall and found that there were guards all over the west palace. There were even metal bars on the windows… It didn't look like the west palace but more like a prison. And it's eerie everywhere. I felt chills the moment I went over.

"Later, I discovered that the person locked in there is actually my aunt, Princess Helene."

The others were in disbelief. "Why's she locked in there?"

"I'm not sure about this." Alexander shook his head. "It's said that she's locked up there because she's committed a severe mistake. She's delirious, and His Majesty spends a large sum of medical fees on her each year, but this is a secret within the palace. No one's allowed to say a word."

"Spend on medical fees?" Rowan chuckled. "There are so many medicines and famous doctors in Irwin Pharmaceuticals. Why spend the money outside?"

He looked at Alexander and kept what he was going to say after that. As an experienced member of society, he knew very well that the royal family was on guard about the Irwins as they did not want too much leverage in the hands of outsiders.

The royal family utilized the Irwins, but the royal family was also cautious about them.

Alexander made a slight bow. "Mr. Irwin, my uncle forbids us from mentioning this to the outsiders, but if you can heal my aunt, I think it'll be a credit."

"Your Highness must have a deep bond with your aunt."

"I don't have much interaction with her," Alexander replied honestly. "But she's my family, and I don't want to see her suffer."

"Princess Lene's condition is treatable." Rowan pulled out his silver needles. "While she's asleep now, I'll first stimulate her nerves and acupoints. We'll decide further after this initial treatment."

"Thank you, Mr. Irwin!"

"Don't mention it, Your Highness. Healing the ill and saving lives is my profession."

Alexander bowed politely and asked the guard to take Rowan away.

Neil, who had gotten the answer he wanted, was impatient to go check on Aurelia.
