Shakira was confused. Isn't that a normal thing to do? What's there to consider? Wait... Her lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief, "Are you worried someone will replace me and make me angry?"

Walter frowned. Although that wasn't his initial thought, it could make sense to explain it that way. But the word 'worried- he scoffed at it. Why would I be worried about Shakira?

Walter watched her flee like she was being chased by a dog, silently scoffing. He was about to maneuver his wheelchair when his wrist accidentally brushed against his knee, triggering a reflex. He froze, realizing he hadn't felt anything for a long time, Even the slightest change had never happened, during his six months of treatment! Walter pressed his palm against his knee." a rare look of joy appearing on his face.
