Valery was carrying a lunchbox, striding quickly toward them.
Romina reached out with her fingertip, paused the video playing on her phone, then opened the recording app and placed the phone face down on the table.
At that moment, at the door.
Joaquin was heading to a project today and happened to pass by Romina’s wellness clinic, so he asked Erick to bring Romina a snack.
It was Lina’s favorite food; he wanted her to have something sweet to boost her dopamine and hopefully improve her mood.
Erick had just reached the door when he sensed something was off inside.
He instinctively stopped and moved to the doorway to observe carefully.
The atmosphere inside was especially tense.
Miguel, unaware of anything unusual, looked up at the newcomer.
He had never seen this woman before and curiously asked Romina beside him, “Romi, is this your friend?”
“No, it’s an enemy.”
Romina put down her fork, her tone casual, and raised her eyes to meet Valery’s gaze.
“What enemy?” Valery’s expression darkened. “Ms. Sandoval, our relationship isn’t great, but I wouldn’t say we’re enemies, would you?”
Romina ignored her and leaned back in her chair.
She looked at Valery with cold indifference. “Why are you here? You’re not welcome here.
Valery placed the lunchbox on the table, looking down at her. “Isn’t running a wellness clinic a business? You don’t want business that comes to your door?”
Romina’s tone was extremely cold. “Didn’t I make it clear last time? I won’t do business with

you. If you have nothing else, please leave immediately. Patients will be arriving soon, don’t delay my work.”
“I’m here to bring you lunch, as an apology for last time.”
When Romina looked up, she saw the woman in front of her smiling sweetly.
But Romina still caught the flash of cunning in her eyes.
This woman was clearly up to no good!
“I spent a long time making this lunch! I hope you’ll enjoy it…”
As she finished speaking, Valery bent down slightly and opened the lunchbox on the table.
A wave of steam rose continuously from the lunchbox.
Mixed in with it was a faint scent of herbal medicine.
“Isn’t this herbal medicine? How is this lunch?”
Miguel sat up straight, instinctively glancing at the herbal medicine in the lunchbox.
Valery suddenly picked up the lunchbox, a faint smile on her lips. “That’s right! They say doctors can’t heal themselves, so I specially made this herbal medicine for her, since she’s been quite ill lately…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Romina noticed the strange look in her eyes.
That sinister aura rushed toward her in an instant.
At that moment, Valery suddenly threw the herbal medicine at Romina’s face.
Fortunately, Romina was prepared and quickly stood up.
The herbal medicine landed on the side of her white coat, missing her face,
The medicine must have been simmering for a while; it wasn’t scalding hot, but it was still quite warm.
Miguel, sitting next to her, wasn’t spared either and got splashed with herbal medicine.
His sleeve and the back of his hand were stained.
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you splash Romi with herbal medicine for no reason? Are

you crazy?”
Miguel immediately stood up from his chair, looking at her angrily.
“So, how does the herbal medicine taste?” Valery ignored Miguel and focused on Romina’s face. “Will it cure your illness? If not, I can make you more next time…”
As her words fell, Valery’s face twisted into a manic smile, and she threw the lunchbox heavily onto the floor.
“You’re insane! Bringing such hot herbal medicine to splash on Romi is intentional harm. Do you believe we’ll call the police right now…”
Miguel was extremely agitated, but before he could finish, Romina raised her hand.
Seeing her gesture, Miguel quickly shut his mouth.
He stood quietly to the side, watching without saying another word.
“Ms. Murray, what exactly do you mean by this?” Romina reached out and patted the soaked half of her white coat, her tone calm. “You set up my wellness clinic, and I haven’t even come after you yet, but now you show up
at my
door yourself?”
After hearing Romina’s words, Miguel’s eyes filled with anger.
So it was this woman causing trouble behind the scenes!
“I heard you slapped Nadine because of me?”
Valery looked at her with dark eyes, a fierce glint flashing within.
Romina’s lips curled slightly.
So that’s what she came for…
“I didn’t hit her because of you, but because she said things she shouldn’t have, which completely infuriated me, so I hit her.” Romina said bluntly, “If she has a grudge, why doesn’t she come to me herself? Why send you to deal with me again and again? When did she become so cowardly?”
