The True Heiress's Return

As soon as Walter's car left the parking lot, it got stuck outside. Ban glanced back. "Mr. Lopez, there's been an accident ahead. Multiple roads are blocked." Walter looked at his watch, expressionless. "Clear a path. Have the hospital staff keep Lonely Bird there." "Yes, sir!" Brian replied.

On the main boulevard of Crescentville's CBD, all eight lanes were at a standstill, with cars lined up and unable to move. Suddenly, a sharp siren pierced the air. Two motorcycles sped down the road, forcing the cars in the right lane to swerve aside. Right behind them, a sleek, luxurious Maybach cruised through smoothly. The other drivers could only watch, frustrated but silent. The moment they saw the license plate, they knew better than to mess with the owner of that car. Shakira stood at the doorway, watching the scene inside the ward.

Rebecca was slicing an apple, Mitchell held a cup of water, and Jessie was gently wiping Yvette's calves, forming a loving family picture.

Yvette

e had blatantly plagiarized and cheated in front of the whole world, making the Nelson family lose face in public. Yet in less than a day, the Nelson family had forgiven her. She had just fainted, and the whole family had rushed to her side, personally taking care of her, not trusting anyone else to

do so.

Shakira thought back to her past life. When the accident happened during her birthday party, the Nelson family had strictly forbidden her from going out and scolded her.

When she was at her weakest, after donating her kidney, she woke up in the hospital room to find only a nurse. The Nelson family didn't visit her for days, and when they finally did, it was just a brief stop between their busy schedules.

It wasn't until she returned home and overheard Yvette casually mention it that she realized why. The Nelson family had been too busy tending to Yvette, bringing her water and peeling her fruit.

Now, the scene she had never witnessed in her past life was playing out right in front of her, and it struck Shakira as deeply ironic.

eyes, which were now fixed on Yvette, filled with an icy, distant detachment. Suddenly, a flash of memory struck Yvette-Shakira's eyes. But she quickly pushed the thought out of her mind. How can I possibly associate Shakira with this important figure standing before me? That bitch can't be Lonely Bird,

quickly caught onto Mitchell's skepticism. "Mr. Nelson, this is indeed Dr. Lonely Bird. Just earlier in the emergency room, there was an incident, and thanks to Dr. Lonely Bird, three lives were saved."
