chapter38
It seemed they had never truly regarded her as one of their
own.
“So what do you plan to do? Are you going to visit him?”
At that moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
The voice interrupted Romina’s thoughts.
She quickly turned her head and met Elliana’s curious gaze.
Romina was highly skilled in naturopathy, all of which she had
learned from her grandfather, Joshua Sandoval. Joshua was
not only a master of retro arts and handicrafts but also an
exceptional physician.
Since the age of seven, she had been learning about various
herbs from Joshua, and she had developed deep expertise,
especially in herbal medicine and physical therapy.
Romina actually had a basic understanding of Hayden’s health
condition.
She had even performed physical therapy for him before.
“I’ll go to the hospital to see him tomorrow,” Romina said, her
expression growing somber. “Of the entire Bowman family, he
is the only one who has ever treated me well.”
“Alright, it’s the weekend anyway, so I don’t have to work. I’ll
look after Lina for you.”
“Thank you, Elly.”

At this moment, in the hospital parking lot.
Joaquin opened the car door and got in, and Erick’s voice came
from the front.
“Mr. Bowman, I’ve already consulted Sir Bowman’s attending
physician about his condition. He said that naturopathy would
be the most suitable treatment. The doctor mentioned someone
-if we can find this naturopathic doctor, Sir Bowman’s
condition could be greatly improved.”
“Who?”
Joaquin’s hand tightened around his phone for a moment, and
he looked up toward the driver’s seat.
“A female naturopathic doctor named ‘Mie! It’s said that her
master was very skilled, but there’s no record of this person in
the community-perhaps the master retired years ago or has
already passed away, leaving only ‘Mie’ as a disciple.””
“Then find her.”
“But this ‘Mie’ also disappeared from the scene three years ago.
No one has known her whereabouts since, just like the quartz
artisan ‘Rosella’-both vanished without a trace…”
Three years as well.
Both disappeared without a trace.
Joaquin suddenly felt that fate was truly playing tricks on him.
Why was it that the people he wanted to find
nd were always
missing?
Erick glanced at the man in the back seat through the rearview
mirror.
Seeing Joaquin’s especially dark expression, he dared not say
another word.
“If there’s no way to find her, then why are you telling me this?”
Faced with Joaquin’s questioning, Erick instantly fell silent.
“Go ask around again. Sir Bowman’s condition isn’t good, we
must stabilize his mood as soon as possible. If that doesn’t work,
find a skilled physical therapy master to help him release his
fascia first.”
The man’s voice was deep. After withdrawing his gaze, he
looked out the window.
The moonlight was especially beautiful tonight, but his mood
was anything but pleasant.
“Alright, Mr. Bowman, I’ll arrange for someone to handle it as
soon as possible…”
After a moment, Joaquin spoke again: “Since Sir Bowman’s
accident, have Jericho and that woman been to the hospital?”
That woman.
It took Erick a while to react before he came to his senses.
“Jericho brought Nadine to visit Sir Bowman, but I didn’t see
Ms. Sandoval…” Erick paused, then continued, “It’s possible
Jericho didn’t tell Ms. Sandoval about Sir Bowman’s accident.”
Joaquin said nothing more.
It seemed that Romina’s decision to divorce him was indeed a
wise one.
The next morning.
After Elliana sent Romina Hayden’s ward number, Romina
packed up the physical therapy equipment she needed and took
a taxi straight to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, there was no caregiver in the
ward, only Hayden himself.
“Grandpa.”
When Hayden saw Romina, a kindly smile appeared in his eyes. When Hayden saw R
“Romi, I was just about to call you! I didn’t expect you to come.”
Romina placed the tools in her hand on the table.
She lowered her gaze to look at Hayden. “I only heard late last
night that you were hospitalized.”
“I just woke up. The caregiver said I was sent to the hospital the
day before yesterday because of chest tightness, but I’ve been in
a coma these past two days. I remember three years ago I also
had a sudden chest tightness, and it was you who cured me
with physical therapy. So I really wanted to call you and ask
you to help me with physical therapy again.”
“I came here especially to help you.”
Romina sat down by the bedside and then reached out to check
Hayden’s pulse.
The situation was indeed not very good.
But with a period of physical therapy, it could still improve, at
least better than conventional medicine.
“Grandpa, I’ll start your physical therapy now and first work on
your fascia.”
“Alright.”
