“There are several maids in Joaquin’s house. Can’t they take care of a child?”


    “I’ve said it already. If you’re so curious, go ask Joaquin yourself!” She took Lina’s hand and quickly walked toward the door. “I have other things to do, so I won’t be keeping youpany.”


    Without waiting for a response, Romina pulled Lina inside the house.


    Jericho watched her back as she entered, his eyes growing darker than ever.


    She wanted him to go ask Joaquin…


    To trouble Joaquin over such a trivial matter–he probably wouldn’t even bother with him!


    When Romina got home, she saw Elliana resting on the sofa. “You’re back?”


    “Yes, Auntie Elliana!”


    Lina ran over and hugged Elliana’s arm, a faint smile appearing on her face.


    Romina took the child to bathe, and when they came out, she saw Elliana still sitting on the sofa, look- ing at her phone.


    She walked over, curious: “It’s gettingte. Why aren’t you resting yet?”


    “You came at the right time. I have a rtive who’s not feeling well. She wants you to take a look at her. When will your wellness clinic open?”


    “It’ll open in two days.” Romina looked at her curiously. “What’s wrong with your rtive?”


    “Her condition is simr to Sir Bowman’s–she has trouble breathing. Conventional medicine hasn’t worked very well, so I was hoping you could help.”


    “Of course! Once the clinic opens, just have here see me there. I’ll take a look at her.”


    “Alright.” Elliana nodded, then changed the subject: “How’s your shoping along? Is the renovation


    finished?”


    “Yes, it’s almost done, Auntie wille tomorrow to clean up, and once that’s sorted, we’ll be ready to open.”

    Elliana asked curiously, “Have you hired anyone yet?”


    Romina replied calmly, “There will be interviews tomorrow.”


    “Then choose carefully and find yourself a capable assistant…”


    Romina smiled gently, not responding.


    The next morning.

    Several people came to the wellness clinic for interviews today. Romina only nned to hire one natur- opathic doctor for now, and would consider adding more staff once the clinic was running smoothly.


    She interviewed several candidates, but only one young man caught her eye.


    The young man wasn’t very old, but his medical skills were impressive, and he was tall and handsome.


    When he walked in, Romina felt as if a refreshing breeze had entered the room–he was both clean and


    cheerful.


    Miguel Porter.


    When Romina saw his name, she couldn’t help but smile.


    It was a poetic name, just like his personality–gentle, yet with a hidden edge.


    Romina asked him several questions, and he answered almost all of them well. When it came to practi- cal skills, he was unexpectedly professional.


    “Very good. If you think it’s fine, you can start tomorrow!”


    Miguel nodded readily: “Sure, Ms. Sandoval.”


    “Just call me Romi from now on.”


    Miguel smiled lightly: “Then I’ll call you Romi from now on!”


    “Alright.”


    Romina nodded gently and walked him to the door.


    Miguel had just pushed open the main door when he met a pair of cold, piercing eyes.


    The man was dressed in a ck suit, his well–defined hand raised as if about to open the door.


    Miguel paused for a moment when he saw him, then nodded politely and looked away.

    He nced back at Romina, his tone calm: “Romi, I’ll be going now.”


    Romina waved at him: “Alright.”


    Her gaze shifted to the man who had just entered, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: “Mr. Bowman, what brings you here so suddenly?”


    “My friend said your ce is about to open, but he doesn’t have time to check on the progress, so he asked me toe take a look.”


    The man’s tone was calm, and in his shimmering eyes, there was a barely noticeable trace of gentleness.


    Rominaughed: “Is your friend worried I’ll tear down his house?”


    After listening to her words, Joaquin suddenly let out a low, huskyugh, but did not respond.


    He pointed towards the door with his hand: “That person just now was…”


    He didn’t finish his sentence, as if waiting for Romina to reply.


    Romina answered, “I’m nning to hire a naturopathic doctor for the wellness clinic. When I’m not around, he can look after the clinic and see patients. The young man is quite capable, so I’ve asked him


    to start work tomorrow.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the man suddenly moved closer to her.


    Romina instinctively stepped back a few paces: “Mr. Bowman, what’s wrong?”


    “You found such a good–looking naturopathic doctor. Are you sure you hired him just to see patients for you?”


    The man braced one hand on the counter behind her, his voice dropping a few notches.
