The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 338*

Frightened by Jaslene's sudden change, Xanthe quickly hid behind Shakira Jaslene was visibly emotional. "Tell me Who do you say harmed me? Her face was filled with anger and sadness and her clouded eyes shook as if she had realized something She took charge of the Banks family for decades and had seen all sorts of people. She could grasp the meaning behind the young girl's seemingly innocent comment. Seeing Jaslene's expression, Shakira had already surmised what might be possible. Jaslene still cared for Fiona because the Banks family had kept her in the dark. She was unaware that her cherished Fiona was the person who led her to depend on machines. The suffering she endured was from the evil she fostered all these years.

"Don't go, please tell me." Jaslene raised herself slightly and reached out to Xanthe. In the next moment, her face turned visibly grayish and pale, and put up a look of pain as if she were suffocating. She collapsed completely.

The caregivers were terrified. "Jaslene, doctor, call the doctor, quick." Amidst the chaos in the ward, Shakira quickly stepped up, pressed the emergency button by the bedside, and checked for any signs of breath from Jaslene,

Her expression turned serious. Without hesitation, she climbed onto the bed, positioned herself, and started CPR on Jaslene. As Kant entered and saw Shakira on top of Jaslene, he rushed forward shouting, "You awful woman, what are you trying to do?" Before he could pull Shakira away, she turned and yelled, "If you want her to live, then stay out of the way." Her beautiful face was composed and determined, allowing no doubt that she was serious.

Kant was stunned, and Xanthe quickly rushed over to help, grabbing him. "Shakira is saving her; she wouldn't harm Jaslene

Soon, doctors rushed in after hearing the news. Shakira glanced over, felt that Jaslene's breathing had stabilized a bit, and then hopped off the bed. The doctors hurried to diagnose her condition, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it seemed okay. "Young lady, you've studied medicine, right? Fortunately, you gave Jaslene CPR right away; otherwise, by the time we got here, it might have been too late." Kant realized he almost caused a disaster with his delay.

He approached with some embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Ms. Nelson. I don't know about medicine and almost hindered you from saving Jaslene."

Shakira looked at Jaslene who was now wearing an oxygen mask and receiving a stimulant injection. Her expression was calm. "Keep Jaslene happy and don't bother me again. I can't agree to what she requested."

After saying this, Shakira left with Xanthe. As they exited the hospital, Xanthe's legs were still unsteady, and she was still in a daze.

Once in the taxi, she slowly realized and asked Shakira, "Shakira, did what I said cause Jaslene's episode?"

Turning around and seeing Xanthe look down, Shakira knew what was troubling her. Xanthe, who was always direct, didn't intend to cause any harm.

his teasing smile slowly disappeared, replaced by a serious look. Walter's expression turned extremely grim. "Haha. The Banks family is used to calling the shots and now they're trying to boss me around." Shakira pressed her lips together. "Xanthe stood up for me and was a bit shaken, so I've been staying with her." Walter nodded. "It's good she was with you. I'm glad you weren't treated badly." Shakira frowned.
