The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 32

Shakira was woken by the sunlight streaming through the window. Instinctively, she raised her hand to shield her eyes. Once her vision adjusted to the brightness, she sat up in a daze. The large master bedroom was empty; its owner had vanished without a trace. Clearly, Walter left her after using her. "Tsk. how ungrateful, Shakira muttered to herself.

But t then she realized that she had done the same thing before. It was good that they were birds of a feather.

She opened the door, intending to head back to her room and freshen up, but to her surprise, Levi was waiting outside. Both of them froze for a moment.

Levi was the first to smile widely. "Ms. Nelson, you're awake. Are you feeling alright?"

"Uh. Levi, you might be asking the wrong person, Shakira replied, thinking to herself, 'Shouldn't Walter be the one feeling unwell?

Levi cleared his throat, his face suddenly full of admiration and gratitude. "Last night, thanks to you, Mr. Lopez was able to get through the episode safely. Ms. Nelson, thank you."

"It was nothing: I just did what t I ould do. But you all should really be better prepared next time. If it happens again, he might not get off so easily," Shakira said.

Walter was such a tall, proud, and arrogant man, and yet last night, after just ten minutes of pain, his eyes had looked so vacant. Shakira couldn't imagine how he'd managed to endure every past episode.

And she couldn't help but wonder, 'In the previous life, had Walter ever gotten the chance to heal his legs? If not... Her face fell slightly.

"Yes, all the expired painkillers have been disposed of, and Brian has arranged for ten backup generators to keep Mr. Lopez's medication cool," said Levi

Shakira nodded. “Good. I'm going to head back to my room now

"Okay, Ms. Nelson. Please rest well. Mr. Lopez has already gone to the office. Before he left, he told me to make sure you rest well for the next few days," Levi said..

Shakira snorted, thinking. At least he had some sense. After spending the whole night in Walter's sweaty embrace, Shakira felt sticky all over. She took a long shower, and when she came out, she saw a message from Sean Sean had taken up the task Brian had posted on the dark web and asked if she needed their help.
