After Wendy comes back, Sung looks happy every day. Same as his wounds, he recovers earlier than everyone’s expected. She told Cooper about this when she came back. She needs to move inside her old palace now. “You little fuss, why you tried to hide yourself before, if you knew you wouldn’t handle this big secret.”
Wendy sighs and feels depressed, “Well, come on, I have no choice. I didn’t expect this to happen.” Cooper replies in helpless, “Then he’s gonna feel shit after you leave someday. I know he’s a crazy man, a crazy lunatic I can tell.”
Wendy holds her chin, looking outside, “I don’t think he’s gonna be that crazy this time. I told him everything. I just want to stay with him while I can…” Cooper complains again, “You guys are crazy! You will regret again in future.” Wendy teases back, “Hey, brother! Can you be nicer to us now?? Maybe he can help me to stay here longer with some crazy master.”
Cooper sighs, “Then let’s get ready for future from now on. As before, without your master, you would die already.” He comes closer to her, “I heard that Zhuge made a special medicine, can make people forget everything. When the time has come, you can feed Sung with that medicine, then he will forget you.” Wendy laughs, “Hah, are you nuts? If he has then he would give him already! They are good friend!”
“I don’t think so, that Zhuge likes you, do you know that? I just feel he’s not that good as he looks.” Cooper says with shrugging his shoulder. “Then what? Why he’s not that good if he likes me? I think people who like me all good! As for you, you are not good to me. Help me cleaning my stuff, I will leave now. Or it will rain later.” Wendy teases, Cooper smiles, “You don’t have stuff, just some clothes! Oh by the way, your bra is still wet, how about I will send to you tomorrow?”
“Hold on, did you wash my bra for me?” Wendy looks at him as a nerd.
“You idiot, I never wash those stuff for women. Wait, your period has come for a long time, do you think you need to check with the doctor??” Cooper says and rubs her head, like a big brother. Wendy kicks his leg, “Hey! Are you crazy? Why you care about my period?! I’m fine, I’m a Doctor. Maybe my body doesn’t fit well, that’s why…” Cooper laughs, “I don’t care about your stuff, but your tampons are almost finished.”
“Anyway, I’m done with period. I will go now.” Wendy takes her stuff and turns, “You may let Flora bring me my bra, and make more tampons for me, please. I never thought my period would come like half a month!”
“And will you bring Coral and Donkey?” Cooper says.
Wendy peeks at him, “No, you may keep them. You need more than I do.” Sending Wendy leaves. Cooper sits alone. “You are right, I am alone. I don’t know how to get out with it.” Cooper murmurs. Back to her old palace, she feels like home. Sung moves to another room near her, for taking good care of her. Lacey came to check her sometimes, she thought this doctor came here for making Sung get well. She’s quite nice to Wendy. Maybe she’s really changed. Wendy thought.
One day, Sung takes Wendy to meet Zoe, the very first time! Zoe’s place seems very humid, everywhere smells wet. Wendy is amazed by Zoe’s face when she steps into her room, “Gosh, she’s so beautiful!” Wendy murmurs. Zoe has a perfect oval face, her architecture is too perfect, like those women from pictures. She sleeps like an truly angel with her milky white skin, well, she seems like Snow White.
“She has slept for four years, I feed her ginseng soup every day to keep her alive. Now you see, she’s too skinny, not beautiful at all.” Sung sighs. Wendy comes closer to check her, she finds Zoe faint all because of brain anoxia-ischemia. With soup every day, her organs are fine, no need to concern that much. She can try to help her. “I need to talk with Zhuge a little with her case, I will try to help her.” Wendy says.
“Then thank you. I can’t help thinking of her every night. I owe her too much, same to you.” Sung holds her hand and replies. Wendy sighs, “I know… Every time Yasmin came to tell me, that She didn’t push Zoe.” Sung stares at her, for a long time. “I do believe you. But if it’s not you, then it must be Lacey…”
“What? How?” Wendy gets shocked. Her sister pushed Zoe?!
“Cause…” Sung tries to tell her another story, suddenly, Lacey comes with her maids. She’s surprised that Sung and Wendy stay here together. “Why you came? You should rest.” Sung says to her, frowns.
“Well, I’m here for cleaning for Zoe.” Lacey smiles back. “Then thanks.” Sung replies coldly as usual.
Wendy stands up and says, “Your majesty, I will go to find Doctor Zhuge and talk about Zoe’s case.” She nods to Lacey then walks out. “Doctor, can you save Zoe?” Lacey asks before she leaves.
“Maybe, I can’t make sure of it. But there’s a hope.” Wendy replies. “That’s great!” Lacey seems truly happy when she hears this, not like acting.
One night, Wendy asks Daisy to call Zhuge and another doctor to her place for a quick meeting about Zoe. Three of them decide to treat Zoe with acupuncture and special soup. Every day Lacey comes to check Zoe, if something is not working, she looks worried a lot. Wendy tries to believe her sister Lacey is not that evil to push Zoe. Otherwise, why she looked happy when she heard Zoe could wake up??
It has rained for many days, Sung didn’t show up a lot. He’s busy with other stuff in the Royal palace. So Wendy decides to see him, she finds him stay near the fountain, in the garden.
“Why you came? It’s raining now.” Sung smiles to her. Wendy grabs his hand and asks, “What happened? How are you these days? You look quite busy…”
“No, nothing.” Sung says. Wendy sighs, “Is it because of the rain??” Sung looks at her, shakes his head shamefully, “Yes, you read me well.” Wendy laughs, “Of course, I’m a special woman with special power.”
Sung watches her and tells her everything, “The King said it rains a lot all because of you. He said you died with unfair, due to my misunderstanding. So God is punishing us now. He wanted to give you a brand.” Sung says.
“That’s not true, you shouldn’t be blamed! You didn’t know my situation at that time!” Wendy says with pissed Sung shakes his head, “Worse, this thought came from Zack. He mentioned this to my father.”
“Really? I thought you guys are good to each other…” Wendy replies with unthinkable.
“Three years ago, after you passed away. He blamed to me one day and said I killed you! Then we had a big fight and the King punished him for his rudeness. So he hates me a lot now.” Sung explains with sadness.
“How?? He should stand on your side! He’s your dear brother, right? How is he gonna blame this to you?” Wendy asks. “And then the King gave me the brand, “Royal General” after I won another battle, I think he’s jealous too. Now it’s his time to revenge me.” Sung says. Wendy thinks for a while, “That’s not cool, seriously.”
“My father now misunderstood me a little. all because of this. He didn’t like to mention this now, then Cooper told him, this might because of your hateful to all of us. Besides, it does rain a lot, my father has no choice.” Sung sighs. Wendy feels scary about the complicated relationship in the Royal palace. Even a father, a King, or your dearest brother, can betray you someday.
