Sad Tears 42

chapter42 

He hurriedly ended the call and walked toward the ward. 

After Romina entered the ward, Hayden, perhaps awakened by 

the sound of the door opening, also woke up. 

“Don’t move, Grandpa, let me remove the needles for you…” 

Romina quickly approached, keeping Hayden in his original 

position. 

“Alright.” Hayden smiled and said, “Romi, I feel much better 

now, my chest doesn’t feel so tight anymore.”” 

“Really…” 

Romina looked at him with a bright smile, then focused on 

removing Hayden’s needles. 

Just as she removed the last needle, Joaquin happened to return 

to the ward entrance. 

“Doctor, please check on my grandpa.” 

“Alright.” 

The man stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice. 

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became especially 

tense. 

But Romina remained particularly calm, quietly tidying up her 

things. 

The doctor quickly took out his equipment, listened to 

Hayden’s breathing, then looked at Romina in shock: “He really 

has improved. Mrs. Bowman’s medical skills are truly 

remarkable…” 

After the doctor finished speaking, Romina just smiled faintly 

and nodded to Hayden and the doctor. 

“Doctor, are you sure my grandpa is alright?” 

A look of surprise appeared in Jericho’s eyes. 

In his impression, Romina’s medical skills were only mediocre. 

Hayden’s current condition was so severe that even experts in 

naturopathy didn’t dare attempt physical therapy, yet she had 

resolved it so easily? 

When did she become so skilled? 

“Doctor, you must check carefully. If something happens after Ms. Sandoval leaves, it will be hard to explain.” 

Seeing Romina about to leave, Nadine’s voice grew noticeably 

sharper. 

“He really is much better. And as far as I know, only the 

legendary naturopathic doctor ‘Mie’ is capable of using physical 

therapy to clear the fascia in such a short time. May I ask, Mrs. 

Bowman, what is your relationship with her?” 

The doctor looked at Romina in astonishment, admiration 

filling his eyes. 

Everyone’s attention was now focused on Romina. 

Romina had intended to leave, but her steps suddenly paused. 

Mie. 

That name was actually her nickname. 

It was given to her by Joshua, and only Joshua ever called her 

that. 

Ever since Joshua passed away, Romina had always 

remembered his teachings: saving lives is a doctor’s duty, not 

for money or profit, but for the well-being of ordinary people. 

She had used this name to save lives for more than ten years. 

The only people who truly knew her identity were Elliana and 

her senior brother, Terry Gomez. 

Terry was Joshua’s only direct disciple, but he had lived 

incognito for many years, saving lives, which led to the rumor 

that she was Joshua’s only disciple. 

She had only studied medicine under Joshua, who taught her 

all his skills, but he never acknowledged her as his disciple. 

“If Romi doesn’t want to talk about it, don’t force her.” 

Seeing that Romina remained silent, Hayden stepped in to 

smooth things over for her. 

Romina’s lips curved into a faint smile: “I don’t know the doctor 

you mentioned, nor do I have any connection with her. Since 

Grandpa is better now, I’ll be leaving. If he needs anything, you 

can contact me anytime.” 

After Romina spoke, Nadine, standing to the side, showed a 

barely noticeable look of disdain. 

She had always known that Romina was just a housewife. 

Apart from carving quartz and some mediocre medical skills, 

she was good for nothing else! 

How could she possibly know any renowned naturopathic 

doctor? 

“Alright, Romi, take care!” 

A gentle smile appeared on Hayden’s face as he watched her 

leave. 

Jericho also watched her departing figure, his eyes full of 

surprise. 

He couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman was hiding 

something from him… 

Hearing footsteps approaching, Joaquin, who was standing at 

the door, shifted his body and leaned against the wall. 

Romina left in a direction away from him. 

When she left, she had no idea Joaquin was still standing at the 

door. 

The man watched her departing figure, his gaze suddenly 

darkening. 

He reached out his well-defined hand, took out his phone, and 

dialed his assistant. 

“Mr. Bowman, are you looking for me?” 

The man gazed at the graceful figure, and only after she 

entered the elevator did he withdraw his gaze and say into the 

phone, “Help me conduct a thorough investigation on Romina. I 

need all her information from childhood to now…” 

“Ms. Sandoval?” Erick’s surprised voice came through the 

phone. “Mr. Bowman, isn’t she Jericho’s wife? Why do you 

want to investigate her?” 

Joaquin’s expression darkened. “Erick, is this your first day 

working with me?” 

Erick, who had just come out of the meeting room across the 

hall, suddenly didn’t even dare to breathe. 

He rarely interfered in Joaquin’s personal affairs, and Joaquin 

especially disliked people prying into matters he intended to 

handle himself.
