"How dare you! How dare you commit a murder in the imperial capital!" Harper shouted loudly. The flames of anger were burning in her heart. These people were so unscrupulous. What kind of enmity did they have with the Bu Clan that they would do such a thing? First, they went after Zack, leaving him in the dangerous situation he was in at the moment. Now, they were trying to take Caroline's life as well. It seemed that they were determined to ruin the whole Bu Clan by getting rid of Franklin's children.

"Let's do this together!" one of them yelled out. In a matter of seconds, all the assassins had Harper and Caroline completely surrounded. Fortunately, Franklin had been smart enough to send some secret guards to protect Caroline. If it weren't for that, Caroline and Harper probably would have been killed on the spot.

"Protect Lady Caroline at all costs!" one of the secret guards shouted. The assassins fought a fierce battle with the secret guards. By accident, the horse was wounded by a stray arrow, causing it to lose balance, and Harper and Caroline fell off. Harper kept holding Caroline in her arms as they fell and rolled in the snow a couple of times before

ve Zack's life.

The three physicians also trembled with fear. It would be fine if Harper managed to save Zack. But if Zack were to die in the end, the Bu Clan would probably blame them for it. And they thought that even Harper might not be able to escape the blame either.

After she dressed and wrapped the wound, Harper wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "He's safe for the time being."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. One of the imperial physicians went ahead and asked, "That means, he is all right?"

"All right?" Harper repeated his words back at him with a helpless smile on the face. "The arrow almost killed him! Do you think he would be all right so soon? I'm a human being, not a God. All I said was that the arrow was successfully pulled out without damaging the heart or the artery. As for whether he's going to be alright, we'll have to wait and see if he can survive tonight or not."

"Harper, are you saying that my son...?" Franklin anxiously asked.

"Please don't worry. I'm going to stay here tonight to look after him just in case anything happens. I am hoping that he will make it through this and be alright," Harper reassured him.
