chapter38


    It seemed they had never truly regarded her as one of their


    own.


    “So what do you n to do? Are you going to visit him?”


    At that moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in her ear.


    The voice interrupted Romina’s thoughts.


    She quickly turned her head and met Elliana’s curious gaze.


    Romina was highly skilled in naturopathy, all of which she had


    learned from her grandfather, Joshua Sandoval. Joshua was


    not only a master of retro arts and handicrafts but also an


    exceptional physician.


    Since the age of seven, she had been learning about various


    herbs from Joshua, and she had developed deep expertise,


    especially in herbal medicine and physical therapy.


    Romina actually had a basic understanding of Hayden’s health


    condition.


    She had even performed physical therapy for him before.


    “I’ll go to the hospital to see him tomorrow,” Romina said, her


    expression growing somber. “Of the entire Bowman family, he


    is the only one who has ever treated me well.”


    “Alright, it’s the weekend anyway, so I don’t have to work. I’ll


    look after Lina for you.”


    “Thank you, Elly.”

    At this moment, in the hospital parking lot.


    Joaquin opened the car door and got in, and Erick’s voice came


    from the front.


    “Mr. Bowman, I’ve already consulted Sir Bowman’s attending


    physician about his condition. He said that naturopathy would


    be the most suitable treatment. The doctor mentioned someone


    -if we can find this naturopathic doctor, Sir Bowman’s


    condition could be greatly improved.”


    “Who?”


    Joaquin’s hand tightened around his phone for a moment, and


    he looked up toward the driver’s seat.


    “A female naturopathic doctor named ‘Mie! It’s said that her


    master was very skilled, but there’s no record of this person in


    themunity-perhaps the master retired years ago or has


    already passed away, leaving only ‘Mie’ as a disciple.””


    “Then find her.”


    “But this ‘Mie’ also disappeared from the scene three years ago.


    No one has known her whereabouts since, just like the quartz


    artisan ‘Rose’-both vanished without a trace…”


    Three years as well.


    Both disappeared without a trace.


    Joaquin suddenly felt that fate was truly ying tricks on him.


    Why was it that the people he wanted to find


    nd were always


    missing?


    Erick nced at the man in the back seat through the rearview


    mirror.


    Seeing Joaquin’s especially dark expression, he dared not say


    another word.


    “If there’s no way to find her, then why are you telling me this?”


    Faced with Joaquin’s questioning, Erick instantly fell silent.


    “Go ask around again. Sir Bowman’s condition isn’t good, we


    must stabilize his mood as soon as possible. If that doesn’t work,


    find a skilled physical therapy master to help him release his


    fascia first.”


    The man’s voice was deep. After withdrawing his gaze, he


    looked out the window.


    The moonlight was especially beautiful tonight, but his mood


    was anything but pleasant.


    “Alright, Mr. Bowman, I’ll arrange for someone to handle it as


    soon as possible…”


    After a moment, Joaquin spoke again: “Since Sir Bowman’s


    ident, have Jericho and that woman been to the hospital?”


    That woman.


    It took Erick a while to react before he came to his senses.


    “Jericho brought Nadine to visit Sir Bowman, but I didn’t see


    Ms. Sandoval…” Erick paused, then continued, “It’s possible


    Jericho didn’t tell Ms. Sandoval about Sir Bowman’s ident.”


    Joaquin said nothing more.


    It seemed that Romina’s decision to divorce him was indeed a


    wise one.


    The next morning.


    After Elliana sent Romina Hayden’s ward number, Romina


    packed up the physical therapy equipment she needed and took


    a taxi straight to the hospital.


    When she arrived at the hospital, there was no caregiver in the


    ward, only Hayden himself.


    “Grandpa.”


    When Hayden saw Romina, a kindly smile appeared in his eyes. When Hayden saw R


    “Romi, I was just about to call you! I didn’t expect you toe.”


    Romina ced the tools in her hand on the table.


    She lowered her gaze to look at Hayden. “I only heardtest


    night that you were hospitalized.”


    “I just woke up. The caregiver said I was sent to the hospital the


    day before yesterday because of chest tightness, but I’ve been in


    aa these past two days. I remember three years ago I also


    had a sudden chest tightness, and it was you who cured me


    with physical therapy. So I really wanted to call you and ask


    you to help me with physical therapy again.”


    “I came here especially to help you.”


    Romina sat down by the bedside and then reached out to check


    Hayden’s pulse.


    The situation was indeed not very good.


    But with a period of physical therapy, it could still improve, at


    least better than conventional medicine.


    “Grandpa, I’ll start your physical therapy now and first work on


    your fascia.”


    “Alright.”
