The True Heiress's Return

Heiress’s Return 356

Chapter 356

Walter casitally walked over to her and gently tucked the hair behind her car. "So, were you bored waiting? I'm free for the rest of the day, so I can spend it with you."

Shakira raised an eyebrow. "Really? It's still early. Are you sure you don't have more work to do?"

She thought for a moment. "After you finish work, do you want to go to rehab?" Walter replied calmly, "Not today, I'll go

tomorrow."

"Oh. When you go to rehab tomorrow, call me along, and I'll accompany you," Shakira suggested with a cheerful smile.

Walter instinctively frowned, about to refuse, but Shakira tugged on his arm playfully. "Come on, let me go with you. Otherwise, I'll be just playing video games all day, and I'm getting really bored."

She rarely acted so cute and playful with him, so how could Walter refuse? He agreed, "Alright, but you can only watch, no helping me out." Shakira made an "ok" gesture. "No problem, I promise not to disturb Mr. Lopez's big rehab mission." Walter pinched her nose, with a smile spreading on his face. He couldn't contain his little secret anymore and said, "Rehab's been going great these past few days. I can slowly let go of the support and walk a bit on my own now."

"Really? Isn't that a little too fast? You just started recovering, and you don't need to hurry..." Walter interrupted her, "The doctor says my progress is fine. If you don't believe me, take a look."

As if to prove his point, he moved his wheelchair to the space at the foot of the bed, holding onto the chair to slowly stand up. Shakira instinctively held her breath, watching him take steps toward her-
