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."

The next morning, Shakira, rubbing her eyes, leaned against the bathroom doorframe and asked Walter, who was getting ready, "Are you going to be busy these days?"

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?

"Yes," Shakira said. "We've been doing acupuncture and herbal baths for a while now. I want to check the recovery progress. The body might still be sluggish and not fully showing results yet, but the machines can give us a clearer picture." Hearing this, a flicker of darkness crossed Walter's eyes. Maybe it was the early morning, but his voice was slightly husky. His

Shakira frowned and instinctively said, "That's impossible. There has to be improvement!"

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.
