Hearing movement, the man quickly opened his eyes.
Romina hadn’t expected him to open his eyes so suddenly, her eyelashes fluttering wildly.
“You’re awake?”
A gentle expression appeared on Joaquin’s face.
Romina nodded lightly. “Mm.”
Worry was hard to hide in Joaquin’s eyes. “Do you feel better? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?”
She shook her head. “No, I’m much better now.”
After a moment, the man tentatively asked, “Did you notice anything unusual before you asleep last night?”
“You mean the culprit sneaked in before I entered the room?”
“That’s possible.” Joaquin nodded slightly. “So you didn’t notice anything strange?”
“No, after I parted ways with you, I went back, chatted with Terry for a bit in the yard, and then returned to my room.”

Suddenly, the scene of opening the balcony door yesterday flashed through Romina’s mind.
If she had known this would happen, she definitely wouldn’t have opened the door…
“The police are already handling this, so you don’t need to worry too much.” Joaquin’s expression darkened. “The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for observation today. Once you’re better, I’ll take you back to Straland right away.”
“Alright.”
Romina nodded and said nothing more.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Then Erick’s voice sounded. “Mr. Bowman, there’s something I need to report to you. Are you available to step outside?”
Joaquin glanced toward the door, then looked back at Romina. “I’ll step out for a moment. You rest here, I’ll be back soon.”
“Mm.”
Romina nodded, watching him leave.
Only after the door closed did she lift the covers and walk toward the door.
She pressed her ear to the door and heard the voices of two people talking outside.
At that moment, at the door.
Joaquin looked up at Erick, his brows slightly furrowed. “Has the investigation yielded any results?”
“The investigation hasn’t yielded any results yet, but there is one conclusion so far.” Erick looked up at the man in front of him, his expression serious as he said, “I told the police about what happened on food street and last night. Based on their investigation, they suspect there might be two different groups involved.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s brows furrowed even tighter. “Two groups?”
Erick replied softly, “Yes! There are two masterminds behind the scenes. They probably don’t know about each other’s plans and likely aren’t acquainted, but this time, their goal was the same–to put Ms. Sandoval in mortal danger.”
“However, the people from last night seemed to be even more skilled. So far, even the police haven’t found any useful clues. There were no footprints or fingerprints left at the scene. It’s possible they were professional killers…”
Professional killers.
When those words reached his ears, the atmosphere around the man became extremely intimidating.
Romina naturally heard those words as well, and the tension in her heart refused to ease.
After footsteps sounded outside the door, she quickly walked back to the bedside, her emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

Among these two groups, one of the masterminds was definitely Nadine.
Because she had exposed the matter of the quartz hairpin at the show recording, putting Nadine in a dire situation, there was no way Nadine would let her off so easily.
If this scandal couldn’t be contained, it would be a fatal blow to her entire career.
So it was understandable that Nadine wanted revenge.
She just hadn’t expected Nadine to go so far as to try to take her life.
