Miguel growled in a low voice, and finally the men sprang into action.
Together, they worked as one to bring Elliott into the treatment room.
“Bang-”
After Miguel closed the main door, only Romina and Elliott remained inside.
Outside, the crowd formed layer upon layer, almost blocking the entrance completely.
Everyone was talking anxiously, their eyes fixed on the treatment room.
No one knew what was happening inside.
Lexie quickly walked out and dialed Elliana’s number.
After the phone rang, Elliana’s voice came through, “Auntie, are you looking for me?”
“Oh, Elly! Something happened at your friend’s wellness clinic.”
Elliana asked in surprise, “What happened?”
“I heard that on the opening day, a patient came in for allergy treatment, took the medicine prescribed by Ms. Sandoval, and today suddenly went into shock. Right now, they’re being rescued in the treat- ment room! I heard the situation is very dangerous, and no one knows if they’ll make it.”
At that moment, Elliana’s eyes widened in shock.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll head over right away.”
“What happened?”
A deep voice suddenly sounded in Elliana’s ear.
She looked up at Joaquin beside her, her brows furrowing slightly. “Something happened at Romina’s wellness clinic.”
Joaquin’s face was extremely cold, and the atmosphere around him grew even heavier.
He hadn’t seen the child yesterday, and today he planned to take advantage of her school break to drive

her to school.
He had just arrived at the entrance when he saw Elliana coming out with the child. Before he could say anything, Elliana’s phone rang.
Elliana briefly explained the situation to Joaquin.
The man strode toward the driver’s seat. “Take Ms. Castro’s car and drive Lina to school. After you drop her off, come meet me at Romina’s wellness clinic.”
Erick quickly got out of the car. “Yes, Mr. Bowman.”
་་
Seeing this, Elliana quickly reached out to comfort the child beside her. “Lina, be good and go to school with this uncle. Elliana has to go take care of something with Joaquin.”
Although Lina was young, she could tell from their brief conversation that something serious had hap- pened.
Her eyes reddened as she nodded gently. “Okay, Auntie Elliana.”
“Thank you.”
Elliana quickly stuffed her car keys into Erick’s hand.
Erick took the car keys swiftly. “It’s fine, you two be careful on the road.”
At that moment, at the wellness clinic.
Romina inserted needles into the patient’s nose, feet, and wrists, continuously stimulating body points with the reinforcing method, then performed micropuncture with controlled bleeding.
Romina had encountered patients who went into shock from allergies like this before.
Years ago, her grandfather had also gone into anaphylactic shock, in a condition even more severe than Elliott’s. Romina and Terry had treated him together, using the same micropuncture with controlled bleeding technique.
Miguel was outside dispersing the crowd. “If you’re not here for treatment, please leave the wellness clinic immediately. Don’t block the entrance, it’s easy for a stampede to happen!”
After his efforts, some of the crowd had left, but many elderly men and women still stood around, gos- siping.
Thanks to Romina’s persistent treatment, Elliott finally regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, Romina’s anxious heart finally settled.

After the treatment room door was opened, the old woman quickly rushed in.

Several men helped Elliott out and seated him at the consultation desk. Romina intended to prescribe him more medicine, but was stopped by the old woman.
“My son ended up like this because of your medicine, and you still dare to prescribe him more? Are you out of your mind?”
The old woman was extremely agitated, her entire expression cold and hostile.
“He needs to take medicine in his current condition, otherwise he won’t fully recover. What I just did only temporarily relieved his symptoms.”
“Then how do you explain him fainting?” The old woman stood beside Elliott, shouting at Romina, “Not only did you fail to treat him, but after taking your medicine he went into shock! Everyone, tell me, isn’t this Ms. Sandoval just incompetent?”
“She seems like a quack, yet people talk about her as if she’s a miracle worker!”
“Exactly! No one should come to this wellness clinic for treatment anymore!”
“With such poor medical skills, she still wants to treat patients? It’s absolutely ridiculous!”
“A quack is a quack!”

Many elderly men and women were cursing at Romina.
This wave of bandwagon criticism made Romina feel a strange sense of amusement.
It seemed that everything today was part of a setup.
Who orchestrated this scheme was still unclear, but there was no doubt it was a trap.
“Elliott, tell me honestly, did you eat seafood?”
Romina ignored the gossiping crowd and focused her attention on Elliott.
“I did eat some, but my mother didn’t know.” Elliott frowned slightly. “But you never told me I couldn’t eat seafood!”
