Chapter 217

Shakira felt goosebumps erupt all over her body. Her mind was facing, overwhelmed by the sudden impact. It was as if her head was stuffed with cotton, leaving her momentarily unsure of how to respond to Walter's abrupt approach. However, Walter didn't give her much time to think before continuing. "No need, Brian just sent me the location. I'm heading over now,"

Shakira thought, 'Right now? The entrance to the hospital was jus a quick step down to the next floor! There was no time to hesitate. Shakira quickly hung up the phone, signaling Director Kevin that she needed to leave first. Kevin understood and nodded at her.

Shakira headed straight downstairs but paused after a few steps, as a thought crossed her mind. She took a moment to contemplate before turning around and heading towards the terrace on the second floor.

Felix, confused, followed her. "Dr. Lonely Bird, where are you going? My car is downstairs; do you want me to give you a ride

Before he could finish, Lonely Bird glanced back at him, then walked to the terrace. With her left hand resting on the railing. she leaped up and, amid a chorus of gasps, effortlessly jumped down.

Felix felt his heart skip a beat. "Dr. Lonely Bird!" he shouted as he dashed to the railing, and watched as Lonely Bird jumped down from the second floor, landing deftly on the staggered rooftops before swiftly disappearing into the night. Felix stood there, staring fixedly, not blinking, until she disappeared from view entirely.

He remained lost in thought, feeling a strong thumping in his chest, as if something inside his heart was violently colliding with his body. It was wild, intense, and unlike anything he had ever experienced. Thump, thump-his heart raced uncontrollably! Yvette covered her mouth as she approached. "Oh my gosh, Felix, did you see that? Dr. Lonely Bird just jumped right off the second floor!"

"I saw it." Felix swallowed, his voice suddenly turning husky.

Yvette noticed his change, seeming to realize something, and teased with a grin. "Felix, have you fallen for Dr. Lonely Bird?"

Felix shook his head, unsure of himself. He had never liked anyone before, so he didn't know what it felt like. But he was certain of one thing, 'It was only when he was close to Lonely Bird that he experienced this unprecedented fluttering sensation!. Shakira dashed into the nearest public restroom at lightning speed, and in less than half a minute, she hurried out again. As she looped back to the canteen entrance, a familiar Cullinan had just arrived.

'Oh my gosh, I made it just in time! Shakira felt relieved.

In the car, Walter had just pressed the button to open the automatic door when someone suddenly jumped into the seat beside him. He turned to look, and who else could it be but his own Shakira?

Seeing her flushed cheeks and her heavy breathing, as if she had just engaged in intense exercise, Walter couldn't help but chuckle. "In such a hurry to see me?"

Shakira took a deep breath, trying to calm her breathing, and flashed a big, toothy grin. "Yep, a day without you feels like three years!"
