Sad Tears 102

When it was time for Sabrina and Joaquin to visit, as they were about to go in, the man suddenly turned back to look at her. “Wait for me at the door with Lina. I’ll take you both home later.” 

“Joaquin, aren’t we supposed to have lunch together later?” 

A trace of nervousness appeared on Sabrina’s face. 

When Romina met her gaze, she saw a strong possessiveness in her eyes. 

It seemed Joaquin was not suffering from unrequited love after all! 

Was there some hidden reason why they hadn’t ended up together back then? 

“It’s fine, there’s still time.” Joaquin reached out and patted Romina’s arm, lowering his voice as he said, “Wait for me.” 

Lina got up and hugged Romina’s leg. Romina looked down at the child. 

Given the current situation, perhaps having Joaquin by her side wasn’t such a bad thing. 

Romina nodded gently. “Okay.” 

When her gaze shifted to Sabrina’s face, she could clearly see the displeasure there. 

After Joaquin went inside, Sabrina followed him in. 

Romina, worried that the child would become restless if she stayed, took Lina and left. 

She and Lina stood next to Joaquin’s Maybach, waiting for them to come out. 

Unexpectedly, Lina was very quiet. 

Romina, worried about her, crouched down and asked, “Lina, are you okay?” 

Lina didn’t want to speak and remained silent. 

Afraid that this incident would leave a psychological shadow on the child, Romina asked worriedly, “Can you tell me what your mom said to you?”

Lina kept clutching the hem of her clothes. 

Perhaps after crying earlier, her emotions had been released, and she seemed a bit better than before. 

“Mom said she will die tomorrow, and told me not to come here anymore, not to worry about her, and to live well with Auntie Romina…” 

As she spoke, Lina suddenly choked up again. 

Romina reached out and hugged the child tightly. 

She gently patted her hand. “Lina, it’s okay. Everyone will face this day eventually. Your mom is just leaving a little earlier than you, that’s all. One day in the future, you will surely be reunited again.” 

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay by your side from now on. If you want, I can be your mom from now on, okay?” 

Lina nodded, but still didn’t say a word. 

Half an hour later, Joaquin and Sabrina came out of the prison gate. 

Sabrina’s eyes were red, making her look even more delicate. 

Joaquin, on the other hand, wore a gloomy expression, betraying no emotion. 

After arriving home, Romina noticed that Lina was in a particularly bad mood. To take care of her, Romina didn’t return to the wellness clinic that day. 

The next day, Lina didn’t go to school. Romina also handed over her work at the wellness clinic to Miguel, staying with the child almost the entire time, never leaving her side. 

Today was the day Savannah’s sentence was to be carried out. Although no one had told her directly, Romina could clearly sense that the child seemed to know everything. She looked gloomy and restless all day. 

To ease her anxiety, Romina took her out for a walk and bought her lots of delicious food. 

Perhaps she was tired from playing, as she fell asleep by evening. 

Suddenly, Romina’s phone rang in her pocket. 

When she saw the caller ID, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

It was a call from Joaquin. 

After closing the door, Romina answered the call. “Mr. Bowman, are you looking for me?” 

“I’m at the door. Can you come out for a moment?” 

Romina instinctively glanced toward the door. 

After softly responding, she walked toward the front door. 

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the familiar Maybach parked at the bottom of the steps. Dario was standing not far away, smoking and holding a phone. 

Romina approached, opened the car door, and got in. 

Joaquin, dressed in a black suit, was sitting in the back seat, exuding an air of nobility and authority. 

Romina turned to look at him and said calmly, “Mr. Bowman, how did you know I was at home?” 

“I went to your wellness clinic. Miguel said you didn’t come today, so I guessed you were at home with Lina.” The man turned to look at her, his voice especially deep. “How is she? Is she all right?” 

“Not very well,” Romina answered honestly. “I took her out to play all day, but she’s been restless. She fell asleep as soon as we got back.” 

Joaquin’s voice grew even heavier. “Savannah passed away at three o’clock this afternoon.” 

As soon as these words were spoken, Romina’s hand holding the phone paused slightly. 

Her upper lashes fluttered instinctively, and an inexplicable emptiness welled up inside her.
