"Dr. Banks, as a guest, you're overstepping your bounds." Shakira à couldn't Sha help but laugh at Levi's rare display of sarcasin, something unexpected from someone usually polite.

Fiona was stunned by Levi's attitude, her eyes wide with disbelief. When she heard Shakira's laughter, her anger flared, making her look like a mouse whose tail was stepped on by someone. She immediately turned to Walter, her voice full of grievance. "Walter, I was only trying to discipline your servant for your sake. Am I wrong to do So?" Walter picked up a plump dried fish and expertly tossed it at Baby Fishy, who had remained in the corner. The crocodile, converting its anger into appetite, snapped it up in one bite. Waller looked at the crocodile blankly, replied, "No need for your help, "You!" With even alter refusing to side with her, Fiona's meticulously made-up face twisted with rage Walter shifted his gaze toward Shakira akira and, in a calm tone, asked.

And during the power outage last week, you managed to get through without needing any painkillers. That proves the medication works. If She tried to persuade Walter again. "Walter, those medic you continue to take them, I believe your symptoms will becless painful with each flare-up.

Walter glanced at Fiona, who was shamelessly seeking credit, and then turned his attention back to Shakira. "What do you think?" Shakira blinked, suppressing the urge to call Fiona out for her brazenness. She stepped forward, saying, "Dr. Banks, may I see the pills you've prepared?" Fiona's expression soured. "Who are you to see them? Don't dirty my- Before she could finish, Walter handed the small bottle of pills to Shakira, Fiona fell silent.

Shakira held a small white tablet between her fingers, applying slight pressure until it crumbled into powder Fiona shrieked furiously, "What are you doing? Do you even know how much one of those costs? You couldn't afford it with a month's salary!" The main ingredients are methyl cobalamin and vitamin B12, both commonly used to treat neuritis. Given Mr. Lopez's condition, this medication won't do much for him. And the other components are zinc and vitamin D, said Shakira. Shakira's eyes briefly swept over Walter, her voice dripping with subtle irony, "Mr. Lopez's kidneys seem to be in perfect health. So, why does this medication include supplements for kidney function?" Walter's face darkened immediately, and the atmosphere chilled in an instant. 08:22 Sat, Oct 19 Chapter 37 91% 91% Fiona, having been exposed in front of others, was overwhelmed with shame. She hadn't expected Shakira to understand medicine. "Walter, don't listen to her. These are just supplements for your health. I'm only looking out for you..." "Unnecessary!" Walter ordered. "Levi, please escort Dr. Banks out I won't need her services anymore.

Fiona was stunned, thinking she must have misheard. "Walter, you must be joking. If I don't come, who will help treat your "She's enough," Walter said plainly.

"She?" Fiona stood there, dumbfounded. Before she could ask more questions, Levi had already started guiding her out firmly.

Shakira walked over to Walter. "Do you still want these pills?" Walter shot her a sidelong glance. "Do you wantto throw you out as well?" Shakira waved her hand dismissively, "Mr. Lopez, you're misunderstanding me." With that, she poured all the pills into the artificial pond. Though Walter didn't need them, the crocodile could benefit from the supplements. Walter watched as she grabbed a piece of dried fish to tease Baby Fishy, her figure slender and graceful. Baby Fishy recoiled nervously as she taunted it, making Shakira chuckle. Her radiant smile, paired with the small red mole near her eye, gave her a touch of irresistible charm.

After having her fun, Shakira turned back to Walter, grinning. "Anything else, Mr. Lopez? If not, I'll be on my way." Walter slowly withdrew his gaze from her, his expression unreadable. What's the rush? Are you that busy?" Shakira couldn't discern whether his tone was serious deal with Dr. Banks?" or not. She furrowed her brows. "Didn't you callover just to help meone as clueless as Fiona would fail to see through His motive was all too obvious. He had used her as a distraction. Only it, which was why she had dared to act so brazenly in front of him.

Walter sneered. "You think you're so clever?" Shakira smacked her forehead, pretending to be regretful "Oh no, did I misunderstand your intention?

After my accident, none of the doctors were of much help, but I kept her around to avoid upsetting my grandfather." However, Wa Walter's grandfather hadn't lived long enough to see his legs healed.

Shakira's teasing demeanor faded. From the first moment she saw him, even sitting in a wheelchair, Walter had seemed untouchable, as lofty as a god.

But now, she glimpsed a vulnerability beneath his seemingly unbreakable exterior. After all, no matter how strong or powerful someone appears, everyone has weak points.

Shakira hesitated for a moment before gently placing her hand on the armrest of his wheelchair. "Mr. Lopez, won't disappoint you." asked, "You finished with your classes today?" Finally, he ask don't worry. I Chapter 37 I had to attend an introductory class today," answered Shakira.

"Good. Send your class schedule to Levi. Work resumes as usual, Water said.

"Fine," Shakira sighed, feeling a pang of regret for ever sympathizing with him. She realized Walter's heart was stone-cold.

Meanwhile, Yvette, still fuming after her humiliating encounter with m Shakira, angrily sent messages to Lago as soon as she got in the car, venting her frustration.

Even after that, she felt unsatisfied.

Comforted by Xanthe and Berry, the three of them decided to go shopping at the newly opened mall.

Yvette answered in a soft and sweet voice. "Mom, Celeste Couture just released two new bags. How about we each get one? SEND GIFT
