Forensic Imperial Concubine

After thinking long and hard, Hailey glanced at Sue, who was still lying unconscious, and said through her gritted teeth, "I have no choice but to make a plan for myself."

"My Lady?"

Giving Sue one final glance, Hailey had made up her mind. Sue was going to die if things went on like this. Hailey was still young and she had her whole life ahead of her.

To make the most of what was happening, she would ask Charles to have her registered as Kelly's daughter, and he would have no other choice but to approve it to make sure Hailey would stop questioning Sue's illness. Both of them would benefit from this arrangement. Harper definitely wouldn't let something
