The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

When Queen Sharon heard Dr. Skechers' words, a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint flashed in the depths of her beautiful, deep eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. However, this light vanished in an instant, so quickly it seemed like an illusion, that none of those present noticed anything amiss.

It wasn't until Queen Sharon quickly came to her senses that she realized her adorable granddaughter, Catherine, was diligently performing the role of a frail woman in labor. As one of only two people present who knew the truth, Queen Sharon naturally understood that Catherine wasn't actually in labor. So why had she meticulously staged such a performance today? The answer is quite simple—Catherine knew that her brothers and elders harbored doubts about her supposed "partum" status, and therefore arranged this elaborate performance to dispel their concerns.

Queen Sharon composed herself, then addressed Dr. Skechers in a tone that was both dignified and gentle: “In that case, prescribe the appropriate medication as you have suggested. Also, please ensure that Catherine rests well in bed. Furthermore, please stay at Chang'an Palace for the next two days to monitor her condition.”

Queen Sharon slowly turned her head, her gaze falling once more on the large, soft bed. Lying on the bed was her little granddaughter, Catherine, whose face was slightly pale and who looked very weak.

Sharon (雪伦) The Queen still had to help her granddaughter finish the play. The Queen frowned slightly, her eyes revealing concern and worry, but also an undeniable air of authority.

She took a deep breath and said to Catherine in a calm and firm tone, "Catherine, you should have clearly heard what the doctor said. The doctor clearly instructed you to stay in bed for the next two days and not to go anywhere! You can only stay in this room and rest well, understand? Otherwise, even I will absolutely not allow you to go to China after two days, do you understand?"

Hearing her grandmother's stern words, a complex expression flashed across Catherine's face. She opened her mouth, as if wanting to retort, but ultimately held back. However, her hesitant expression revealed that she actually had her own thoughts and plans.

After a moment, Catherine, as if finally summoning her courage, quickly replied, "Grandma, I really can't! I simply can't stay in bed for two whole days! How about tomorrow? Because I want to visit my brother's adoptive parents with him before we leave. After all, I'm taking him with me to China this time, and we don't know how many more months it will be before we can return to Yuzhou..."

Upon hearing Catherine's words, Prince Carlos felt a pang of sorrow. Looking at his frail granddaughter, who still cared deeply for her brother, his heart ached as if gripped by an invisible hand. However, he forced a smile and gently said to his granddaughter, "Catherine, regarding the matter of visiting your brother's adoptive parents, please have your uncle handle it on your behalf and convey our sincere gratitude to them on behalf of the royal family. As for you, your most important task right now is to rest in bed and recover as quickly as possible."

Queen Sharon listened quietly without offering any opinion, but she nodded slightly, indicating her tacit approval of the solution proposed by her husband, Prince Carlos.

At this moment, Catherine, with her weak but still smiling gaze, slowly turned to her maternal uncle, Crown Prince Blaine, and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you to make this trip for me, Uncle." Although her voice was soft, the sincerity and gratitude it contained were obvious.

The elegant and refined Crown Prince Blaine smiled gently and said softly to Catherine, “My dear Catherine, we are a loving family, why be so formal? Besides, this is my duty! So, please rest assured and leave everything to me. Right now, the most important thing for you is to focus on recovering. You know, not only your grandmother and I are very concerned about your health, but the rest of the family is also very worried. If you don't recover quickly, we might have to ask you to stay in Yuzhou Kingdom for a while longer out of excessive worry. That would mean you'd have to extend your time apart from your children!”

After hearing Prince Blaine's caring words, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Those who had harbored doubts yesterday after seeing Catherine in good spirits were now completely dispelled, their suspicions and concerns gone. They began to believe that Catherine was indeed a new mother, that the child was indeed hers, and that she needed rest and recuperation.

After a long and anxious wait, the test results finally came out. The personnel in charge of the examination quickly compiled them and reported them in detail to everyone present. After all the information was conveyed, Dr. Skechers did not leave like the others. He had received orders from Her Majesty the Queen to remain temporarily in Chang'an Palace to care for the princess. Moreover, a young and beautiful female doctor also stayed with Dr. Skechers.

At this moment, Amaes, who had been standing quietly to the side, not daring to disturb anyone, cautiously stepped forward and respectfully bowed to her masters. However, the noblewoman merely waved her hand casually, signaling Amaes to step back. Then, she turned and led Dr. Skechers and the female doctor away, supposedly to arrange suitable accommodations for the two doctors.

As the group left, the previously tense and oppressive atmosphere in the room instantly became lively. Everyone gathered around Catherine, inquiring about her health and offering her comfort and encouragement with warm and caring words. The room was filled with warmth and concern.

After everyone had exchanged pleasantries with Catherine, the Queen gracefully rose and led the group out of the bedroom. However, one person was an exception—Hilbert, who was temporarily residing in Chang'an Palace, lingered alone for another ten minutes or so after everyone else had left. During this time, he sat quietly beside his sister Catherine, softly chatting with her to keep her company and sharing snippets of their lives.

Finally, Hilbert reluctantly stood up, gently patted his sister's head, and then left the room.
