Sad Tears 116

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, and then the restroom door was closed. 

Romina looked at Nadine in the mirror, her expression suddenly darkening. 

She even began to suspect that Nadine might have drugged her. 

“Ms. Sandoval, how did you get those hickeys? Did something happen between you and a man at the party last night? No wonder when Jericho and I knocked on your door, it was locked the whole time…” 

Romina instantly turned to glare at her: “Don’t talk nonsense!” 

Nadine circled to her side, reached out her slender hand, and lifted Romina’s hair, then carefully examined the marks on her neck. 

Her tone was icy cold: “Ms. Sandoval, then tell me, what’s with these hickeys? Jericho was with me all night yesterday, and after the banquet, he went straight home. These marks definitely couldn’t have been left by him…” 

Romina’s hands at her sides suddenly clenched tighter. 

Her face grew colder, her whole body radiating a chilling aura: “Was yesterday your doing?” 

She spun around quickly, facing the woman before her. 

A flash of nervousness crossed Nadine’s face. 

Although she quickly hid her nervousness, Romina still caught it. 

This only made Romina more certain of her suspicions–yesterday’s incident was definitely connected to Nadine. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

“Someone drugged my drink yesterday. I only started feeling unwell after I drank it. If it wasn’t you, then it was Valery.” Romina’s eyes flashed with anger. “But since you showed up here so early, I think you’re the more likely culprit.”

Nadine’s brows furrowed sharply: “I didn’t do anything like that. Don’t accuse me without proof. I told you, I was just passing by and came in out of concern. 

“But as far as I remember, Ms. Lambert isn’t exactly a kind person. If you don’t set me up, that’s already good enough. Why would you go out of your way to check on me?” 

The anger in her eyes grew even stronger. 

“You keep saying it was me, so show me your evidence. If you accuse me without proof, be careful–I might sue you for slander!” 

Nadine’s voice suddenly rose in pitch. 

“I’ll keep investigating this. If I find out you were behind it, do you think I’ll keep swallowing my pride like I did three years ago?” 

A flush of crimson appeared at the corner of Romina’s upturned eyes. 

Nadine spoke leisurely, “Ms. Sandoval, what I’m more curious about is, who was the man you slept with last night?” 

When Romina lifted her gaze, she saw a mocking smile in Nadine’s eyes. 

Romina didn’t respond to her question. Instead, she pointed toward the door: “Please leave immediately. I need to start working. Don’t linger here and disrupt my work!” 

Nadine’s smile grew wider: “If you won’t tell me, then I’ll tell Jericho and let him investigate for you.” 

Without waiting for Romina to reply, Nadine quickly turned, opened the door, and left. 

Romina turned to look at herself in the mirror, her whole body trembling with anger. 

She gripped the sides of the sink so tightly that her fingertips turned pale, 

It seemed this matter really couldn’t be hidden any longer. 

No matter how careful she was, she still slipped up in the end. 

Romina found a silk scarf and wrapped it around her neck, completely covering the hickeys before officially seeing patients. 

There were still many patients today, and she was busy until the afternoon before she could 

rest.

In the evening, a familiar figure suddenly burst in. 

“Excuse me, patient, may I ask you…” 

When Miguel saw who the man was, his face darkened instantly and his words stopped abruptly. 

Jericho glanced around the wellness clinic’s lobby, then fixed his gaze on Miguel: “Where’s Romina?” 

Miguel pointed toward the treatment room: “She’s inside, organizing medical equipment.” 

Without a word, Jericho strode toward the treatment room. 

“Click-” 

The sound of the door opening caught Romina’s attention. 

She had just turned to look at the door when she met the man’s extremely cold face. 

Joaquin had called her just a minute ago to ask about Lina’s condition today. 

She hadn’t even hung up the phone when Jericho came in. 

“Bang-” 

With a loud noise, he slammed the door shut and locked it. 

The man strode forward, snatched her phone, and pressed it face down on the table. 

His attention was entirely on Romina, completely unaware that the call was from Joaquin. 

“What are you doing? Give me back my phone!” 

Romina tried to grab her phone, intending to hang up first. 

But the man’s hand pressed down on the phone, while his other hand gripped her arm tightly: “Who was the man you slept with last night?” 

As soon as he said this, Romina’s heart leapt into her throat.
