Chapter 236
The question was so sudden that Felix was confused. He was following Shakira to find the right moment to sincerely apologize to her again. He had no bad intentions.
But somehow, after arriving at this beauty clinic, he followed Shakira here. He felt like there was an invisible force telling him to stay with Shakira.

Shakira’s eyes were cold. Being stared at by Shakira, Felix realized he was rude. His expression changed a few times. Tm sorry. Dr. Lonely Bird” He paused and continued, “I guess it’s an important patient or you wouldn’t have come personally.”
Jasmin pushed open the door from inside. “Hil Why are you still standing at the door?” As the door swung open and closed, Felix made out the person lying on the bed.
But he couldn’t see the patient’s face. He instinctively looked away, knowing it was rude. However, he noticed many tubes were inserted into the patient. Obviously, the patient’s life relied entirely on these machines.
Felix was surprised. He hadn’t expected to find a severely ill patient in a beauty clinic. Jasmin didn’t realize another person was also at the door until he walked out.
He raised his eyebrow, giving Felix a once–over. He crossed his arms and chuckled knowingly, “Isn’t he Mr. Felix Nelson? What a surprise!”
Felix frowned, staring at Jasmin for several seconds. “Do you know me?”
Jasmin handed a business card to him. “Jasmin Sullivan. I once worked at Meta Research Laboratory in Yarovia. We met once when you were learning from Mr. Smithson. It’s understandable if you don’t remember me.
Felix took the card and read the information on it. Jasmin smiled, “We are alumni. If your girlfriend comes here for skincare) in the future, I’ll give you a 10% discount.”
“That’s not necessary Felix instinctively glanced at Shakira and aid, “Dr. Lonely Bird, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll explain it next time when I have the opportunity. After that, he politely nodded and quickly left.
Watching Felix enter the elevator, Jasmin ruffled his hair and smiled even more playfully, “Does Felix know that Mitchell, who the Nelson family has been desperately searching for is right inside the room?”
Shakira shrugged. “I asked him but he clearly doesn’t want the answer. So I kept it from him.” Jasmin’s eyes widened in disbelief. He realized she wasn’t joking so he was momentarily speechless.
After a while, he shook his head and put her hands on her face, looking rather scared. “Shakira, you’re really good at fooling people. Luckily, I was smart enough to team up with you from the start or who knows what kind of trouble I’d be in now!”
Shakira shot Jasmin a glance, annoyed. She described her like she was some sort of villain. She brushed past him and walked into the ward.
Mitchell was lying quietly on the bed, looking much thinner than he had been a few months before the accident. His face was pale with a pair of sunken eyes. His lips were almost bloodless and the only thing that made him look alive.
Shakira glanced at the numbers on the machine, frowning. Jasmin followed her inside and said lightly. “His injuries are severe. You performed the surgery so you know it the best. He’s so lucky that he’s alive, thanks to your devilish skill.‘
Shakira said, “His condition isn’t good. In fact, it’s quite bad. His kidney and liver are collapsing. If it weren’t for his strong will to stay alive, I am afraid…” Shakira said, “I know, your team has worked hard to take care of him Thank you.
Waving his hand, Jasmin grinned, “No worries, Sean paid me a large sum of money for the medical expenses, equivalent to three years‘ revenues of this beauty salon. How could I say no to something as good as this?”

Jasmin asked curiously, “But are you sure you want to keep funding this? These machines and the team are all from abroad. The costs are high. It’s fine for a short time but for a long time.
Shakira said. “Let’s find out how long he can hold on. Money is not an issue.”
Jasmin clasped his hands, glancing at Shakira’s expressionless face. “Alright!” He said. “Shakira, I’m not gossipy but with how things are between you and the Nelson family, I’m surprised you’re still going all out to save Mitchell. This is admirable!”
“Who said I’m treating Mitchell for the Nelson family?” Shakira glanced at him. “I’m just waiting for a chance.”
Jasmin was puzzled. “What?”
She said coldly. “Waiting for the day the Nelson family never finds peace again.”
Jasmin was taken aback by her sudden coldness, gasping in shock. Before he could think further about it, Shakira had already turned around and walked out.
Hurriedly, Jasmin followed behind her. “Shakira, wait for me! Sean said you’re making a great meal tonight. I’m going there
too!”
The door of the ward opened and closed, leaving the room filled only with the sounds of the machines. No one noticed that Mitchell’s pinky finger slightly twitched while lying quietly on the bed.
In the end, Jasmin’s shameless determination paid off. He managed to get into Sean’s place to enjoy the meal. This made Sean really angry.
He thought, ‘How could this freeloader have the nerve to eat the food cooked by Shakira? What makes him so courageous?” Jasmin was grinning, completely ignoring Sean’s complaint. He kept saying, “Just one more spoon, just one more.” However, after the dishes were served, he couldn’t stop eating the food.
Shakira had made five dishes but seeing that Jasmin had such a good appetite, she went back to the kitchen to cook some beef. Outside, Sean and Jasmin were fighting to get more food. Gideon followed Shakira into the kitchen.
Gideon said, “Shakira, let me help you.”
