Chapter 229
Late at night, it was pouring rain. Shakira, who was soaked through and only half as tall as an adult, was
kneeling in front of the Smith residence's gate, hugging Duke who was about the ssize as her, and
trembling uncontrollably. Under the caves, Lago and Jessie's eyes showed disgust. "You brat | asked you to go
and teach Mr. Lee's son. You didn't teach well and slipped away secretly. Now you still want us to pay for the
treatment of a mongrel? Are you out of your mind!" With her face wet all over, not knowing whether it was tears
or a mixture of rainwater, Shakira's eyes were extremely red. Hearing Jessie's cold and heartless words, she
trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, and bit her lower lip tightly. She thought, Teach Mr. Lee's son? That idiot
couldn't learn at all
He uld only drool and ask her to sleep with him! She broke free from his control and ran out. The servants in his
house cto surround her with golf clubs.
It was the Duke who risked his life to protect her, biting several of them until they finally gave up and left. But
Duke really got hit by a few sticks and its foot bone was crooked...
Hugging Duke in her arms that was gradually losing strength and its body was getting softer, the little girl's voice
still carried a childish tone yet full of stubborn tears. "I don't need your money. | beg you to givethe pocket
money for the New Year. I'll take it to the hospital...
"Bah! What pocket money? You ungrateful little brat! | spent money to raise you this much, and you have never
shown me
you askfor money!" any gratitude. How da
Lago lifted his foot and angrily kicked Shakira on the shoulder. His thunderous curses were even louder than the
heavy rain "Why don't you let this dog provide for you to eat and drink!"
Her small and fragile body couldn't bear such a heavy force and fell to the side. Just before hitting the ground,

firm eyes seemed to close forever... Shakira couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying. She knelt on the
ground and kept kowtowing to the two superior people. "Please, Duke can't hold on anymore. Consider it a loan, |
pay you back, please, I'm begging you..." Jessie mocked, "You sneak food from hto feed that dog, don't you?
Why don't you pay us back!" Shakira cried, "Those were all the leftovers
you
didn't want..."
The leftovers were also bought with my money! With all the money I've spent on raising you, why don't you pay
"Hurry up and take him away. Don't dirty the entrance of my housel" he called.
Big raindrops fell on her face as Shakira looked up, her eyelashes twitching. Her thoughts gradually shifted from
distant memories back to reality. The rain cfast and hard, pouring down like it was coming from a broken
faucet
Shakira borrowed an umbrella from the man outside, but it was almost useless. She was soaked through, her
heavy clothes weighing her down and making her shiver uncontrollably from the cold.
"Have you seen two cats that are about the size of a palm and orange and white in color?" "Have you seen two
cats in orange and white? They ran out from the Traditional Medicine Department Shakira kept asking passersby.
Finally, a cleaning lady pointed in a direction for her.
"I saw a few stray cats in the bushes behind the canteen. Not sure if they're the ones you're looking for. "Thank
you
much!"
Shakira rushed over and spotted two little legs sticking out from under the thick bushes.... "Meow." It was these
two little cats!

But wait, there were more than just them...

When Shakira moved the bushes aside, she discovered several big cats gathered there. They were the same
ones that had escaped from her office on the first day. They found their mom!
Shakira was thrilled, watching the little kittens ctowards her They sniffed her hands instinctively, and she
couldn't help but smile. "Congratulations, you found your mom! You don't have to wander around now."
It seemed like two little kittens had conveyed her goodwill to the big cats because this tthey were standing
still and watching her instead of running away like before.
A big orange tabby cat, with the scolor as the kittens, was gazing at her with its beautiful emerald eyes.
Shakira smiled gently, waved at it, and poked the kitten's chubby belly.
"If you run around again, your babies will be hungry. The big orange cat folded its ears back, seemingly not
wanting to respond to this topic, and turned its face away. Shakira was amused.
"Well, I'm relieved to see you are safe. Stay close to your mom." She pushed the little kittens back into the
bushes and was about to get up when the raindrops on her head suddenly disappeared. Surprised, she turned
her head and saw Walter standing behind her with a large umbrella. Shakira instinctively lowered her head and
secretly thought that it was bad. OH, her face- "What are you hiding from?" Walter thought she seemed guilty
and moved outside the umbrella, pulling her closer to him. When he touched her cold hand, the air around him
felt even heavier.

His tone was soft but slightly annoyed, "Why didn't you answer my call?" Huh? Wait, how did he recognize her?
Her face shouldn't have been....
She subconsciously touched her face and found her hand covered in yellow water. The rain must've been too
heavy, washing off her disguise, and she had already stored her mask and sunglasses after they got soaked.
With a silent sigh of relief, Shakira timidly raised her head to look at him, "Why are you here?"
"The Banks family cto cause trouble for Lonely Bird. It has beca hot topic today. There are patients
making trouble outside Haruca Hospital. It's a mess." God knows how warried he was when he called her as soon
as he saw the news but got no answer. cats!
Who would have thought she'd be hiding here caring for a few stray My phone was on silent, | didn't check it."
She took out the already-soaked phone from her pocket, showing to admit her mistake.
Walter smirked coldly and scoffed, "Just for a few cats, making yourself look like this? You're quite something" His
voice was as indifferent as commenting on something trivial, leaving Shakira momentarily stunned, her
expression turning pale.
"They are still small. They will get sick if they get caught in the rain." She took a deep breath. "But it's fine now.
We can go back." With those words, she walked out of the umbrella first and into the rain.
The two little kittens had run away defensively when Walter appeared. But now seeing Shakira leaving, they
bypassed Walter again and meowed at her.
Shakira paused slightly but then firmly walked forward in the next second. Walter's eyes were deep, staring at
her indifferent back, and his lips pressed tightly together.
The scene surprised everyone, including Brian, who was standing nearby. Once they got over the shock, two
bodyguards immediately went to hold an umbrella for Shakira. Brian approached Walter cautiously and said, "Mr.
Lopez, it looks like Ms. Nelson is angry with you?" Walter cast a cold glance at him and said, "I can see it myself.
Bean rubbed his nose awkwardly, "Mr. Lopez, are you going to try and make up with her?" The man sneered.
"Hub!"
