The True Heiress's Return
Chapter 221
Chapter 221
Outside the office, someone had already closed the door. Shakira gazed thoughtfully at the elderly woman in front of her and said softly, "You're not Mia."
Jaslene seemed slightly taken aback and narrowed her eyes with a smile, saying, "As expected of the renowned Dr. Lonely Bird." Shakira stayed silent, not about to mention that just a few days ago, in Eastlake Valley Estate, she had called her a seductive witch.
"I'm here today because I need Dr. Lonely Bird's help to treat me Jaslene said grandly, reaching out her hand. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Jaslene Banks, the matriarch behind the biggest investor of this show." Shakira understood immediately. "Mrs. Banks bought the appointment slot from Mia."
"It's not easy to secure an appointment with Dr. Lonely Bird. Mr. Lee wouldn't give me a pass, so I tracked down the patient and gave her 30 thousand dollars to go to a different doctor instead," Jaslene said. Jaslene said with a self-satisfied expression as if she had done something incredibly noble. "She needed money for her treatment, and that amount should cover all her medical expenses."
That condescending attitude was just like Fiona's. Shakira made no comment and reached out to feel her pulse. In just a moment, Shakira's calm expression shifted slightly.
She didn't expect Jaslene's pulse to be so weak and erratic. Outwardly, Jaslene looked healthy and vigorous, but inside, her body was badly depleted.
Shakira's expression was serious as she spoke frankly, "Mrs. Banks, over the years, you must have taken quite a lot of strong medicine to keep up this appearance of health." Jaslene didn't deny it, just smiled. "Well, you know, when you get old, you're afraid of dying. I just want to live well."
Shakira shook her head. "The medicines you've been using are very strong and toxic, and after years of use, they've deeply penetrated your organs and bones. This illness of yours is beyond my ability to treat."

Even if Jaslene hadn't said anything. Shakira already understood her intentions. Jaslene had become dependent on strong medications to maintain her current condition, but inside, she was deteriorating.
Now, as she grew older, her organs were failing more quickly, and daily medication could keep her alive, but it couldn't stop the side effects of those strong drugs in her body.
She had evidently started feeling these effects but was able to endure them for the time being.
However, the deterioration would soon accelerate, leading to severe pain in her organs and bones that even medication couldn't suppress. Jaslene would end up in agonizing pain, unable to live or die peacefully. Jaslene candidly acknowledged, saying, "Dr. Lonely Bird, I'm aware that this illness is difficult to cure; otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of coming all the way from Haruca'to Crescentville.
