The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 353

Sean's next as still nearby, happily slicing apples without a care. He lowered his voice.

"It happened late at night. Jasmin couldn't get there right away. Since you were recovering, the nurse just called 911 to rush him to ER. Now he's lying in a room downstairs. It's easy to take someone there, but bringing him back isn't so simple. Shakira was surprised. "He's at Harborview Medical Center too?

Sean replied, "Yeah, Jasmin knew he couldn't hide this, so he told the hospital it was an injured person he found outside. Now we just have to wait for those people from the Nelson family to show up."

"Good," Shakira agreed. "Even if the Nelson family comes knocking later, Jasmin has a valid excuse to clear himself. Please thank Jasmin for me. When I'm better, I'll visit him personally to express my gratitude." She didn't want Jasmin to get dragged into her problems. "It's no big deal, and you don't have to be so formal." Sean waved his hand.

"But Jasmin and I checked the ward. Back then, the oxygen mask had been removed, and there was a big change in heart rate. Unfortunately, the nurse didn't have much experience and couldn't remember the details. She didn't even know if the mask was on... Upon hearing this, Shakira's eyes darkened a bit. "What about the security cameras?"

Sean replied, "The main issue is with the security cameras. There was a power outage in that area last night, so the cameras were down."

"What a coincidence." Shakira raised an eyebrow, and the curve of her lips suggested more than she said.

"Right? You think it's such a coincidence too. Do you think this could be related to..." Sean instinctively leaned in closer as he spoke.

Just as he was about to blurt it out, Xanthe, who had accidentally glanced over, jumped three feet in surprise like a startled cat and rushed over with intense force, putting herself between the two.

"If you're going to talk, just talk. Why do you need to get so close? Are you trying to let Shakira smell your bad breath?"

Sean was lost for words. He was so angry, shouting, "Who has bad breath?" Xanthe immediately covered her nose and said, "Ew." Sean spun in circles, scratching his head in frustration.

Watching them bicker made Shakira grin from ear to ear. Although Sean didn't finish his words, Shakira understood his implication. "Harborview Medical Center never loses power. If something's really off, the one behind it should be worried." Sean rubbed the back of his head, thinking that actually made a lot of sense.

Xanthe looked puzzled. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? Did I miss some gossip or something?"

"Oh, speaking of gossip, Shakira, do you remember when we went shopping and that beauty store was being renovated because someone bought it?" Xanthe said excitedly. "It's about to reopen. Guess what kind of store it's going to be." Shakira wasn't really interested in beauty products, but seeing Xanthe's excitement, she had a guess. "Yvette's brand is moving offline."

Xanthe looked shocked. "Yo-you knew it all along?"
