The True Heiress's Return

hapter 129

After ending the call with Mitchell, Shakira immediately dialed Jasmin's number. That's when it became clear that what Cody said to Felix at the dinner table wasn't just empty words.

Jasmin was surprised, "Shakira, you don't know yet? I thought Matthew would have given you a heads-up..."

Shakira sighed and said, "No, the old guy still hasn't replied to my message. Who knows what sneaky plan he's cooking up."

Jasmin was speechless. The nation's most revered doctor, whom everyone wanted to meet, was described by Shakira as nothing more than a scheming old man. Only Matthew's personal disciple could manage that. Shakira wasn't in a rush; instead, she started making her preparations..

Walter looked at her in the mirror and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I want to take you to the hospital for a full-body check-up with the latest equipment."

Walter furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "With equipment?

Walter raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "So confident?"

"Of course!" Shakira was ninety percent sure that even if Walter couldn't stand up completely yet, some basic nerve and joint movements had definitely shown significant recovery.

She wanted to check the results of this test, so when Matthew arrived, she could quickly sync with the current treatment progress. Shakira was very confident, taking great care with her medical skills.
