Sad Tears 41

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 accidents, 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 regularly. 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 delayed. 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 flashed 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 glancing back, she saw Jericho extend his well-defined 

hand and place it on the woman’s hand. 

He lowered his voice to comfort 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 glanced 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.
