The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 205

Shakira's sharp gaze swept over Yvette and Felix as she stepped forward to shield the tiny kittens.

Sensing hostility from the humans at the door, the kittens hid behind Shakira, huddling into little balls. The sight melted Shakira's heart.

Yvette, chilled by Shakira's cold stare, instinctively edged closer to Felix, clutching his shirt hem with a pitiful, pouty look.

She said, "Felix, I didn't mean to harm the kittens, but this is a hospital. They could carry viruses, and patients here have weak immune systems. This is also Dr. Lonely Bird's office. Keeping them here could interfere with his work." Felix's expression was equally frosty. Lonely Bird was his idol, a genius he admired deeply. This was his chance to meet and work with him, so anything related was important to him.

Every word Yvette spoke hit his sore spots. With a warning tone, he said, "Shakira, you're just a gofer and have no say in this office. If you want to keep the kittens, take them home. Don't dirty Dr. Lonely Bird's place." Shakira almost laughed at that. "Right back at you, Felix. What qualifies you?"

The sarcasm in her voice made Felix lose his composure. "Shakira-"

"What's going on here?" Kevin's irritated voice came from the hallway, growing closer. "Don't you know this is a hospital? Why are you shouting?"

Entering with a scowl, he stopped when he saw the confrontation. He thought, 'Why didn't anyone tell me Dr. Lonely Bird is inside?'

Yvette and Felix didn't notice the slight annoyance on Kevin's face. Eager to tell her side, Yvette put on her most delicate voice, complaining about her good intentions being misunderstood.

Yvette said, "Mr. Jones, you came just in time. This temporary worker hired by the crew ignores hospital rules and insists on keeping stray cats in Dr. Lonely Bird's office. We simply can't convince her otherwise."

Kevin frowned. He thought, "Temporary worker? Do people from the Nelson family look down on people like this?' His expression wasn't pleasant, but Yvette thought he was upset with Shakira and waited to see her reprimanded. Before Kevin could speak, Shakira said, "Mr. Jones, I'll take care of the kittens. They won't interfere with the hospital or filming."

Kevin relaxed, thinking, 'I am confident in Dr. Lonely Bird's judgment. "Alright, do what you need to do," he agreed without hesitation.

Shakira or even throw her out, almost lost her composure. She wondered, 'How could
