“I bought a meat bun this morning and was eating it on the way. Miguel sent me a message early in the morning, and when I looked down at my phone, I didn’t notice a dog squatting in front of me, drooling at me.”
“You know I’ve been afraid of dogs since I was little. I got startled and tried to run, but accidentally missed a step, twisted my ankle, smashed my phone screen to pieces, and even had my meat bun snatched away by the dog…”
Elliana’s eyes were red, looking at her with a pitiful expression.
“Is this really the time to be worrying about a meat bun?”
Romina couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
“Romina, how can you still laugh? You’re getting more and more heartless. I’m in this state and you can still laugh?”
Tears the size of beans instantly welled up in Elliana’s eyes.
“Alright, I’m not laughing at you. Hurry up and get in the car, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“You’re a doctor yourself, why take me to the hospital? Can’t we just go to your wellness clinic?”
“You need an X–ray for this.” Romina helped her up from the ground, putting her arm around her shoulder. “Once we get the results, if it’s nothing serious, I’ll prescribe you some
medicine.”
“What did you say? An X–ray? Isn’t that just making my already poor life even worse?” Elliana angrily wiped away her tears. “No way, I’m going to make Miguel pay for this, since he messaged me so early in the morning.”
Romina: “…”
Half an hour later, Miguel actually showed up and paid for Elliana’s X–ray
He fussed over her the whole time, showing almost no complaints.
He truly embodied the definition of a ‘total pushover.‘

“Romi, I’ll stay here with her. You should go back to the wellness clinic and get to work! When I left, there were quite a few patients waiting at the door.”
“Alright.” Romina nodded gently and reminded him, “Then take good care of her.”
Miguel nodded repeatedly: “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
་་
As she passed the emergency room, Romina caught sight of a very familiar figure standing at a diagonal angle by the hospital entrance, talking on the phone.
It was Sabrina.
She had her back to Romina and it was unclear who she was talking to.
“I already got my divorce certificate a few days ago, left with nothing.”
“I never planned to take his money anyway, because he knows my heart is with Joaquin.”
“I’m here for naturopathy today, planning to get my body in shape. Then I’ll just go ahead and sleep with Joaquin and give him a big, healthy son. Wouldn’t everything else fall into place after that?”
***
Hearing this, Romina’s hands at her sides involuntarily clenched for a moment.
So this was Sabrina’s plan all along…
For some reason, a sour, bitter feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.
After Sabrina hung up the phone, Romina quickly turned around and headed straight for the parking lot.
The entire afternoon, she felt restless, but with so many patients waiting for her, she had no choice but to pull herself together.
That feeling of torment left her utterly exhausted.
On her way home from work, her phone chimed with a message notification.
She picked it up and saw it was from her secondary SIM card.
It was from Joaquin.

“Ms. Rosella, how is the restoration of my quartz flower carving coming along?”
Looking at this line of text. Romina suddenly recalled the conversation she overheard between Sabrina and someone else earlier today.
After a few seconds of contemplation, she quickly typed a line and sent it to him.
“Mr. Bowman, you’re urging me so much–are you planning to give it to someone? Why not tell me, so I can speed up the process.”
After sending the message, she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
“Ding-”
When her phone chimed with a new message, her heart leapt into her throat again.
“Since we’re already so familiar. I’ll just tell you directly. This is an heirloom my mother left me, which my grandmother gave to her, and she told me to give it to my wife in the future.”
Romina’s heart sank to the bottom.
Her fingertips, gripping the phone, trembled slightly and uncontrollably.
Sabrina had just gotten her divorce certificate, and Joaquin was now urging her to restore the carving. He must be planning to give it to Sabrina.
Could it be that the two of them were really about to get together?
She thought for a moment, then sent him another message.
“Looks like congratulations are in order for you, Mr. Bowman?”
“Yes, it’s happening soon, so please restore it as soon as possible for me, Ms. Rosella. Thank
you.”
Romina clenched her jaw tightly in that instant.
The two of them really were a perfect match–one willing, the other eager!
A surge of resentment suddenly rose in her heart, and any desire to restore the carving for him vanished instantly.
But Joaquin had no idea she was Rosella, so even if she didn’t want to do it now, she still had to–and she had to do it well.

Just yesterday, he was passionately kissing her in the attic, whispering words that left her longing, and now he was about to give his family heirloom to another woman.
She had thought Joaquin was different from other men, but it turned out he was just the
same!
He might even be more of a womanizer!
Romina suddenly felt that she was being played by both Jericho and Joaquin.
It was bad enough to stumble with Jericho–did she have to fall for Joaquin too?
Just then, Romina’s phone suddenly rang.
It was Joaquin calling again.
But this time it was his main number, calling her directly.
Without thinking, Romina hung up immediately and was about to toss her phone into her bag.
A WhatsApp message popped up.
“Romina, why did you hang up on me?”
