199 LOVE AND GRATITUDE

They allowed the Queen to have a time of peace and tranquility as they left the area one by one. 

The royal physicians bowed down to Zoe, including Physician Sheng Tun. He silently thanked her as he laid his hand on his heart for not talking about his error to his juniors.

Zoe bowed down to him in response. It was her fault she allowed him to practice medical treatment without proper training in the first place. But she was still uncertain whether she was already on his good side or not.

"Do not try to carry what you cannot handle, young lady. Or you will suffocate underneath it until it kills you."

An angry voice snarled which startled Zoe making her hand clutch her chest. It was Duke Andras.

Sudden anger lit her eyes as she remembered how he pushed her over as if she did something wrong that deserves it. 

She lifted her chin and answered him back with a tepid smile.
