Since Harper had been trying to cure Francis, albeit of everyone's knowledge, she had to come to his mansion stealthily. Aside from only going there when the streets were already covered in the darkness of the night, she would even disguise herself.

That night, Harper disguised herself as a young man, so naturally, Francis was very surprised to see her. "Aunt Harper, why do you dress like this? I could hardly recognize you."

"It's too eye-catching to wear women's clothes at night. Recently, there are a lot of people who want to kill me. I don't want to lead them to your place, so I have to dress like this before going out," Harper candidly replied. "Are you feeling better today?"

"Thank you for asking. I'm feeling much better," Francis responded with a smile.

"Even when you're in the comfort of your home, you should still be careful. I wonder how many spies from the Imperial Palace are secretly watching you," Harper advised him.

Embarrassment flashed across Francis' pale face. "Thank you for your concern. I will be more careful."

Harper felt Francis'

ord. "If you hadn't been poisoned for a long time, your life would have been completely different. It's a pity that the poison has been staying inside your body for so long. It's hard to completely remove the poison in a short period of time. But as I said, you don't have to worry anymore. Let me take care of this for you."

"Thank you very much." With Harper's promises and sincere words, that was the only thing that Francis could say. The smile he had on was still gentle and mild, emphasizing his handsome and innocent face.

"Well, let's get started then. You need to have a medicated bath. I will also perform an acupuncture treatment for you. We're going to do this once every three days." The moment Harper had arrived earlier, she had asked the servants to prepare the medicated bath for Francis. At that point, everything was ready.

Francis looked vacantly at the bath barrel which was being carried inside the room by the servants. He was so dumbfounded that it took him so long to react. He looked at Harper and asked, "So soon? Do I need to take off my clothes?"
