Chapter 166 Zack Pulled Through (Part One)
With Harper staying in the Bu Clan mansion, the three imperial physicians took their leave. When Isabella finally came to, she was told that Zack was safe from the arrow, at least for the time being. Upon hearing the news, she couldn't help weeping with joy. But when she remembered seeing Caroline all covered with blood, she burst into bitter tears once again. Seeing her in that state, Franklin cleared things up and told her right away that Caroline was actually left unscathed, making Isabella feel so relieved.
"Harper," Isabella called out in a weak voice.
"Yes, Lady Isabella," Harper politely greeted her as she stood up, preparing to bow her head. But she was suddenly stopped from making the courtesy by Isabella.
"I have prepared the clothes for you. They belong to Caroline and they are new. Your clothes have been stained with blood.

"No! It's a big deal! You lost so much blood. Why don't you take care of yourself well, you poor girl?" Isabella exclaimed in a remorseful tone. Upon saying that, she immediately unwrapped the bandage on Harper's hand and began to dress up the wound for her.
Looking at Isabella's gentle profile, Harper felt extremely touched. She finally came to understand how Caroline became so gentle and considerate. As it turned out, it was all because she grew up with a gentle and caring mother.
After the wound was bound up, Harper couldn't help but notice that both Franklin and Isabella looked so drained of energy. So she said, "It's almost dawn. Please, you should go and get some rest. I will stay here to look after him in case his temperature rises up again. As long as he makes it through this night, he will be fine."
Hearing that, Isabella and Franklin glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. When Franklin arrived at the door, he turned around and called out, "Harper."
