The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 351

Chapter 351

Shakira opened her eyes to a sea of white, with the strong smell of alcohol in the air.

"Shakira." Walter was right beside the bed. When he saw her awake, his blue, obsidian eyes were fixed on her, filled with clear delight. Shakira blinked and looked at him intently. Walter's heart tightened. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Should I call a doctor-"

Suddenly, Shakira reached out and grabbed him. She felt like she was dreaming, dreaming that... Walter stood up, fearlessly throwing himself at her, and they rolled around together. There was still a trace of confusion in Shakira's eyes as if she couldn't quite believe it.

"Walter, your legs. You can stand, and they're healed, right?" She woke up and the first thing she cared about was this... Well, of course, she always cared so much about it and was so persistent. Walter stopped for a moment and then nodded firmly. "Yes."

"A while ago, I actually started regaining feeling in my legs. I could feel some pressure, especially when you were doing acupuncture on me."

Shakira was surprised. "You never mentioned it."

Regret flashed through Walter's eyes. "I didn't say anything because I didn't want to."

He took a deep breath, leaned over, and kissed the corner of Shakira's eye. Then he buried his face in her shoulder, hiding his unclear expression from her. "During that time, I often dreamed."

"It was the memory of my last mission before I got injured. My bros died because of my mistakes. I was lucky to fall into the open sea and survive, but they..." Walter spoke each word with such intensity, and every syllable was pronounced with force. "I only lost my legs, but they could never come back."

As she listened to his murmured words, Shakira deeply felt his pain, despite his attempts to suppress his emotions.

At that time, she was on the ship too. She witnessed the scenes he didn't want to talk about.

It wasn't Walter's fault. Those comrades sacrificed their lives for peace.

Yet he took all the blame on himself.
