chapter41
If he found out, he would definitely try to stop her.
The main concern was that any problems could cause
unnecessary trouble for the hospital.
Even though she knew there would be no accidents, it was
better to avoid trouble whenever possible….
“Miss, who exactly are you to Sir Bowman? His condition is not
good, and he must be checked regularly. If you continue to
hinder my work, I will have to call security.”
As the doctor finished speaking, he reached into his pocket for
his phone.
At that moment, a mocking voice sounded: “Director, she
performed physical therapy on my grandfather without
permission…”
“What?” The doctor looked up in disbelief in Jericho’s direction,
then turned his gaze back to Romina, staring at her in
astonishment. “Who are you? How dare you perform physical
therapy on a patient without a doctor’s approval?”
and pointed in Jericho’s direction, finally uttering two words:
“His wife.”
After learning that Romina was also a member of the Bowman
family, the doctor’s previously aggressive attitude gradually
subsided.
But his tone remained stern: “Mrs. Bowman, Sir Bowman’s
condition is not something an ordinary naturopathic doctor can
handle. Even our hospital’s naturopathic doctor doesn’t dare to
intervene. How could you so easily perform physical therapy
on him?”
“Grandpa’s condition cannot be delayed. Every minute lost
increases the risk. I hope you can understand my urgency,
Director.”
Romina’s tone was calm, her eyes filled with indifference.
The doctor was a bit troubled: “But if something goes wrong, I
can’t…
“Listen to her.”
An extremely deep and pleasant voice interrupted the doctor.
Hearing the voice, Romina turned her head and saw that
Joaquin, who had been silent all along, had suddenly spoken.
When the doctor heard him speak, he instinctively swallowed:
“Mr. Bowman.”
“Do as she says. Since she says she needs fifteen more minutes,
then wait fifteen minutes. As soon as the time is up, you can go
in and check on Grandpa. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take
responsibility for it.”
As soon as Joaquin finished speaking, Romina looked up at him
in disbelief, surprised by his words.
On the surface, he was taking responsibility for the doctor, but
in reality, he was speaking up for her.
The doctor hesitated: “But…”
“Since Joaquin has spoken, what is there left for you to hesitate
about?”
Jericho’s voice was loud, and everyone present heard it.
Although he said so, the resentment and anger in his eyes were
easily caught by Romina.
With things having reached this point, the doctor could no
longer insist.
“In that case, I’ll wait another ten minutes and see!”
The doctor’s previously hesitant expression was now unusually
resolute.
Romina curled her cold lips into a chilly smile.
There is a saying that couldn’t be more true.
In the face of capital, everything else seems utterly worthless.
She stepped aside, lowered her gaze to her phone, and started
counting the minutes.
Eight minutes left.
Almost there.
Joaquin left midway to take a call, and Romina’s eyes followed
the man’s departing figure.
Suddenly, memories of recent events flashed through her mind.
Her interactions with this man seemed to be increasing…
What she didn’t know was that Jericho, sitting by the corridor, had been watching her all along.
Naturally, he also knew she had been watching Joaquin.
The man’s palm, resting on the back of his hand, suddenly
clenched tightly.
Just as he was about to stand up, a hand suddenly grasped his
wrist: “Jericho.”
“What’s wrong?”
Nadine held onto his arm: “I feel a bit dizzy.”
“What’s going on?” Jericho’s face darkened, his voice full of
concern. “Weren’t you fine just now?”
“I don’t know either, I just suddenly started feeling unwell.”
The woman’s soft voice caught Romina’s attention.
After glancing back, she saw Jericho extend his well-defined
hand and place it on the woman’s hand.
He lowered his voice to comfort her: “Can you hold on? Do you
need me to take you to see the doctor now?”
“Let’s wait until we’ve seen Grandpa. I can still manage for
now…”
“Alright.”
The man gently stroked her back, looking every bit the loving
husband.
Not only did Romina see this scene, but even the doctor nearby
noticed it.
The doctor glanced at them, then shifted hi
4 x
gaze to Romina.
Suddenly, he couldn’t tell who was the real wife.
Romina quickly turned away, putting distance between herself
and them.
Out of sight, out of mind.
When the eight minutes were up, Romina opened the door to
the ward right on time, and the three people beside her
followed her in.
Joaquin, who was at the end of the corridor making a call, also
noticed that it was about time.
When he looked back, they had already entered the ward.
