"Yes, My Lady," Nina said and rushed out of the house. After Nina left, Harper fell into deep thought for a while.

"All right, that's enough. Just take good care of yourself. My maid will send you the decoction very soon. I have to leave now." After finishing her words, Harper got up from the bedside stool, turned around, and left without looking back.
