Walter's gaze grew more intense, watching Shakira's every subtle expression like a hawk. "My people have been trying to get in touch with Matthew, but there hasn't been any progress. Yet, Fiona managed to do it. You don't seem surprised that Fiona could persuade Matthew.

Shakira chuckled. "When I took pictures with Matthew, he seemed like a kind guy. Ms. Banks was bound to win him over with her sincerity. With Matthew's help, you will be up and walking soon." Shakira unconsciously glanced at his legs, with her eyes filled with hope and clarity.

Seeing the twinkle in her eyes as if she was more thrilled than he was. Walter squinted slightly. "Shakira, even if my legs get better, what you owe me needs to be repaid over time."

Walter raised an eyebrow. "And what else?"

Shakira was taken aback. "What else?"
