chapter39
Romina had just connected Hayden to the physical therapy equipment and was about to let him rest for a while.
A knock sounded at the door.
The next second, the door was suddenly pushed open from
outside.
Hearing the sound, Romina turned around. When she saw the
two figures standing at the door, she was momentarily
stunned.
Standing at the door were Jericho and Nadine.
When Jericho saw the scene, his brows furrowed sharply.
“Romina, what are you doing?”
The physical therapy would take another half hour to fully
release the fascia, and Hayden had just fallen asleep. He
couldn’t be disturbed at this time.
Romina quickly walked forward and lowered her voice. “Please
come outside with me.”
As she passed by him, Jericho quickly reached out and grabbed
her wrist.
The man’s expression instantly darkened. “Romina, with your
amateur medical skills, you still want to give my grandpa
physical therapy? Don’t get my grandpa killed…”
“That’s right!” Nadine, standing to the side, chimed in. “Ms.
Sandoval, do you even have a medical license? How dare you
just give Grandpa physical therapy!”
“I’ll say this one last time. Grandpa needs quiet rest right now.
Please come outside with me immediately.”
Romina shook off the man’s hand and quickly walked toward
the door.
Jericho, with Nadine in tow, also walked out of the room.
Once they reached the corridor, the man’s emotions grew even
more agitated. “Romina, this is a hospital, not your home. You
can’t do as you please! Take all the physical therapy equipment
off Grandpa right now. If anything happens to him, you won’t
be able to bear the responsibility!”
Jericho had always known that Romina had medical skills.
But he had no idea about her actual level.
Although during their years of marriage she devoted herself to
her work, occasionally, when relatives of seriously ill patients
found her through acquaintances, she would still make house
calls to treat them.
But she always did these things in secret, and no one knew.
Not even Jericho, who had shared a bed with her for so many
years.
“Jericho is right. Even the naturopathic doctors in the hospital
don’t dare to give Grandpa physical therapy lightly. Ms.
Sandoval, you really are bold! Since you performed physical
therapy on Grandpa without the doctor’s permission, if
anything goes wrong…”
“As long as I’m here, nothing will go wrong!”
Romina lifted her eyelids and looked at Nadine across from her,
her voice especially low.
“What a big mouth you have!” Jericho’s face was filled with
anger. “But I only have one grandpa, and I won’t let you use him
to test your medical skills!”
After saying this, Jericho intended to head toward the ward.
But Romina reached out to stop him. “Do you not understand
human language? I said not to go in and disturb Grandpa.”
“Get out of the way!”
Jericho’s eyes were full of anger, and his voice rose a few
notches.
“After half an hour, you can do whatever you want.” Romina’s
raised hand never dropped, her voice especially stern. “But in
this half hour, no one is allowed to step into the ward!”
The two people in front of her were intimidated by her aura.
Especially Jericho, whose eyes were full of astonishment.
In his memory, this woman had always been gentle and soft,
rarely showing such a strong side.
But since he didn’t know her medical skills, how could he just
let her do as she pleased?
“Today I must go in!”
Besides, Hayden’s state just now seemed to be unconscious.
He had no idea what this woman had done to Hayden…
Jericho reached out and shoved Romina aside.
Romina hadn’t expected him to be so strong, and she staggered
for a moment.
Her whole body involuntarily toppled to the side.
Just as she thought she was about to fall, a pair of strong hands
suddenly caught her from the side.
A familiar cool scent instantly filled her nose.
A strong sense of security immediately enveloped her.
That familiar feeling in this moment instantly pulled her
memory back to the scene of the fire.
Could it be that Joaquin had arrived?
Before Romina could even turn her head, the man’s extremely
deep voice came from above her. “Jericho, what are you doing?”
Jericho’s hand was already reaching for the doorknob.
Upon hearing the voice, he instantly stopped.
He quickly turned around and met the man’s cold and deep
eyes. “Joaquin…”
With the man’s support, Romina steadied herself.
The man’s broad palm also released her arm.
Romina quickly put some distance between them, finally able
to see the man’s handsome face clearly.
Nadine, standing to the side, interjected, “Mr. Bowman, Romina
gave Grandpa physical therapy, and Grandpa seems to have
fallen asleep. Jericho wanted to go in and check, but Ms.
Sandoval wouldn’t let him…”
