chapter41


    If he found out, he would definitely try to stop her.


    The main concern was that any problems could cause


    unnecessary trouble for the hospital.


    Even though she knew there would be no idents, it was


    better to avoid trouble whenever possible….


    “Miss, who exactly are you to Sir Bowman? His condition is not


    good, and he must be checked regrly. If you continue to


    hinder my work, I will have to call security.”


    As the doctor finished speaking, he reached into his pocket for


    his phone.


    At that moment, a mocking voice sounded: “Director, she


    performed physical therapy on my grandfather without


    permission…”


    “What?” The doctor looked up in disbelief in Jericho’s direction,


    then turned his gaze back to Romina, staring at her in


    astonishment. “Who are you? How dare you perform physical


    therapy on a patient without a doctor’s approval?”


    and pointed in Jericho’s direction, finally uttering two words:


    “His wife.”


    After learning that Romina was also a member of the Bowman


    family, the doctor’s previously aggressive attitude gradually


    subsided.


    But his tone remained stern: “Mrs. Bowman, Sir Bowman’s


    condition is not something an ordinary naturopathic doctor can


    handle. Even our hospital’s naturopathic doctor doesn’t dare to


    intervene. How could you so easily perform physical therapy


    on him?”


    “Grandpa’s condition cannot be dyed. Every minute lost


    increases the risk. I hope you can understand my urgency,


    Director.”


    Romina’s tone was calm, her eyes filled with indifference.


    The doctor was a bit troubled: “But if something goes wrong, I


    can’t…


    “Listen to her.”


    An extremely deep and pleasant voice interrupted the doctor.


    Hearing the voice, Romina turned her head and saw that


    Joaquin, who had been silent all along, had suddenly spoken.


    When the doctor heard him speak, he instinctively swallowed:


    “Mr. Bowman.”


    “Do as she says. Since she says she needs fifteen more minutes,


    then wait fifteen minutes. As soon as the time is up, you can go


    in and check on Grandpa. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take


    responsibility for it.”


    As soon as Joaquin finished speaking, Romina looked up at him


    in disbelief, surprised by his words.


    On the surface, he was taking responsibility for the doctor, but


    in reality, he was speaking up for her.


    The doctor hesitated: “But…”


    “Since Joaquin has spoken, what is there left for you to hesitate


    about?”


    Jericho’s voice was loud, and everyone present heard it.


    Although he said so, the resentment and anger in his eyes were


    easily caught by Romina.


    With things having reached this point, the doctor could no


    longer insist.


    “In that case, I’ll wait another ten minutes and see!”


    The doctor’s previously hesitant expression was now unusually


    resolute.


    Romina curled her cold lips into a chilly smile.


    There is a saying that couldn’t be more true.


    In the face of capital, everything else seems utterly worthless.


    She stepped aside, lowered her gaze to her phone, and started


    counting the minutes.


    Eight minutes left.


    Almost there.


    Joaquin left midway to take a call, and Romina’s eyes followed


    the man’s departing figure.


    Suddenly, memories of recent events shed through her mind.


    Her interactions with this man seemed to be increasing…


    What she didn’t know was that Jericho, sitting by the corridor, had been watching her all along.


    Naturally, he also knew she had been watching Joaquin.


    The man’s palm, resting on the back of his hand, suddenly


    clenched tightly.


    Just as he was about to stand up, a hand suddenly grasped his


    wrist: “Jericho.”


    “What’s wrong?”


    Nadine held onto his arm: “I feel a bit dizzy.”


    “What’s going on?” Jericho’s face darkened, his voice full of


    concern. “Weren’t you fine just now?”


    “I don’t know either, I just suddenly started feeling unwell.”


    The woman’s soft voice caught Romina’s attention.


    After ncing back, she saw Jericho extend his well-defined


    hand and ce it on the woman’s hand.


    He lowered his voice tofort her: “Can you hold on? Do you


    need me to take you to see the doctor now?”


    “Let’s wait until we’ve seen Grandpa. I can still manage for


    now…”


    “Alright.”


    The man gently stroked her back, looking every bit the loving


    husband.


    Not only did Romina see this scene, but even the doctor nearby


    noticed it.


    The doctor nced at them, then shifted hi


    4 x


    gaze to Romina.


    Suddenly, he couldn’t tell who was the real wife.


    Romina quickly turned away, putting distance between herself


    and them.


    Out of sight, out of mind.


    When the eight minutes were up, Romina opened the door to


    the ward right on time, and the three people beside her


    followed her in.


    Joaquin, who was at the end of the corridor making a call, also


    noticed that it was about time.


    When he looked back, they had already entered the ward.
