Shawn sighed. "Zack," he said exasperatedly. "I am starting to regret having Harper treat Wendy." In his eyes were hopelessness and extreme sadness. "If I only knew that the dispute between would be this heated, I would have conceded and let Wendy die than implicate Harper."

"Stop thinking that," Zack said, trying his hardest to sound comforting. "Everyone knows that Lord Travis and Lady Hannah are reasonable people. And besides, Lady Wendy is not stupid. You should have known that out of all people." Zack had met Wendy before and his first impression of her was that she was an extremely smart and resilient woman. At that time, he thought that, perhaps, the poor health she was born with taught her to always restrain herself, physically and emotionally. Feeling that there might be something amiss with Wendy's condition, he told Shawn, "You know what? Let's have a look at her together.

"Wendy," Hannah lovingly called out. "

d death, she trembled with fear. As she tried to keep her head above water, she felt her heart tremble, and her body fighting to survive.

"Help me!" she shouted as water started filling her lungs. Wendy still wanted to live, so she was struggling. 'I have sacrificed a lot to be where I am right now. I will not die this way!' she thought. "Help me! Anyone! I don't want to die yet!"

While Harper's eyes were still cold and piercing, she immediately waved her hand and gestured to her people to save Wendy. Four men immediately came forward, pulled Wendy out of the water, and carefully laid her on the ground by the pond. Wendy immediately began coughing violently and heaving in an effort to dispel the huge amount of water she had taken in.

Hannah wanted to approach Wendy to comfort her and make sure she was okay, but once again, she was stopped by Travis. They had taken good care of Wendy since she was a child and they both knew how extremely self-willed and stubborn she was. Although she had the ability to restrain herself in ways a normal person couldn't, it was only her illness that forced her to do so.
