Taken off guard by Shakira's striking, they were hit by the chair and fell out at the door, blocking those trying to

rush in. Fiona stood by the entrance, her eyes almost on fire. "Useless! All of you, get in there!" Shakira glanced

Shakira gave a cold chuckle, and her fingertips toyed with a cold silver needle at Fiona's neck. "You cto

Shakira leaned in close, her voice calm and chilling, whispering words that sent shivers down Fiona's spine,

"Should | give you a shot that'll leave you speechless for life, or should I just break that rude finger of yours?"

Fiona's hair stood on end, her body tense as she instinctively clenched her fingers into her palm.

She glared fiercely at Shakira, trying to act tough. "With all these people watching, if you dare do anything to

me, my parents won't let you get away."

A cold glint flashed in Shakira's eyes. "Then go ahead and try." Seeing the ruthless determination in Shakira's

eyes, Fiona screamed in fear.

"Fiona!" George and Sophie rushed over just in time. They saw Shakira raise a silver needle, almost piercing it

into Fiona's body, and were frightened out of their wits. Along with them was the head of the traditional medicine

department. The department head was also scared stiff. "Lonely Bird, let go of Ms. Banks immediately!"

Sophie bit her lip in anger and shouted furiously, "You rascal! Isn't it enough that you harmed Jaslene? Now you

want to hurt my daughter?"

‘There it was again," Shakira thought. She remembered Fiona had said something similar before, accusing her of

poisoning Jaslene. Shakira narrowed her eyes slightly, chuckled ambiguously, and pushed Fiona aside.

Fiona ran to George and Sophie, so scared that her face flushed by turns, looking extremely unwell. George

gestured for Fiona to stay calm and then exchanged looks with the department head.

"Lonely Bird, are you still trying to argue?" the department head, who had long been irritated by Shakira's

defiance, waved a finger at her and thought, 'It's all because of Matthew that she is here. But due to her, my son

lost his slated spot! He pulled out a prescription and threw it at Shakira. "Look for yourself. This is the

prescription Jaslene got from the pharmacy after consulting with you. You prescribed the raw fleece flower root.

It's fatal when used in large amounts." "That's impossible. Shakira thought as she opened the prescription. On

that printed paper was indeed raw fleece flower root; however, Shakira was certain that what she had written

was processed fleece flower root. "There must be sdeceit involved here, Shakira thought as she pressed her

lips together, quickly thinking back.

From Fiona's point of view, Shakira was now in an inescapable situation. The evidence was irrefutable. She

thought, 'Shakira, this tyou're done for."

Fiona's face gleamed in excitement as she ordered the bodyguards, "Make her kneel and apologize."

Shakira's eyes flashed with open mockery at Fiona. With the backing of the Banks family, Fiona seemed to have

forgotten the panic she felt just moments ago in Shakira's grasp and even taunted Shakira with a throat-slitting

gesture. But before the bodyguards could move, Kevin and others arrived in tand stopped the spectacle.

"Let's see who dares to stir trouble in the hospital."

Michael stood between the opposing parties, his aged face carrying a natural authority. Felix and Yvette came

too. They went to check if Shakira was injured.

Seeing Shakira unharmed, Michael let out a sigh of relief and addressed the Banks family, "Mr. White, using force

against our doctors is unacceptable. Please apologize to Dr. Lonely Bird, or Haruca Hospital will take further

action."

The department head was sweating profusely as he quickly explained, "Mr. Lee, Lonely Bird used the wrong

medication and sent Jaslene to the ICU. Our hospital is clearly in the wrong here!"

Michael's expression changed slightly, his brows knitting together as he responded without hesitation, "It's

impossible. Dr. Lonely Bird wouldn't make such a basic mistake."

'What? That old relic still wants to protect Shakira?’ Fiona thought, then she said harshly, "The evidence is here

in black and white. How can you say it's impossible? Is the hospital trying to avoid responsibility by just claiming

‘impossible?’ "Or maybe you're afraid of Matthew backing her, so you're twisting the facts to protect this useless

doctor who can't even get the prescriptions right?"

Fiona's words crossed Shakira's line. She clenched her fists tightly and said coldly, "Fine! Since you want to cause

a scene, I'll join you to the end."

Fiona folded her arms and sneered, "Bark while you can!"

Ignoring Fiona's mocking, Shakira reassured Michael, who had spoken up for her, "Thank you, Mr. Tucker. I will

find out the truth and ensure the hospital and my mentor are not unfairly disgraced." Michael nodded and

replied, "Good."

Shakira said no more. With one more glance at the prescription she walked to her desk and opened her

computer to log into the system.

The digital report matched with the prescription in Jaslene's hand. Shakira frowned deeply.

Seeing her expression, everyone around turned anxious. Felix couldn't hold back and stepped forward. "Is

something wrong?"

Shakira ignored Fiona, suddenly muttering a nam
