Joaquin still had his eyes closed, his voice especially indifferent.
“Savannah’s execution is in three days…” Erick didn’t say the last two words, but continued, “Do you want to go see her?”
Joaquin slowly opened his eyes but said nothing.
“Ms. Palmer will arrive in Straland tomorrow. She couldn’t reach you, so she called me. She said she’ll visit Savannah the day after tomorrow, as a way to say goodbye, and asked if you want to go with her.”
Joaquin’s eyes were extremely dark, his gaze fixed on the window.
Sabrina Palmer was Joaquin’s childhood friend. Ten years ago, she moved to Thalberg with her mother after her mother remarried. Two years ago, she married a soccer star from Thalberg and rarely returned to Straland.
In the early years, Joaquin was working abroad, so they rarely had the chance to meet.
Savannah was Sabrina’s best friend. Before Savannah got married, Sabrina often brought her over to hang out.
Over time, Joaquin and Savannah became friends as well.
Three days from now would be the day Savannah left this world, so it was only natural for Sabrina to
return.
“Mr. Bowman?”
Erick’s voice came again from the driver’s seat.
Joaquin’s thoughts were interrupted. He suddenly withdrew his gaze and glanced up at Erick.
The man’s tone was extremely indifferent. “Reply to her and tell her to wait for me at Beresford Manor the day after tomorrow. I’ll go with her.”
“Yes, Mr. Bowman.”
The next day was the weekend, and there were more patients at the wellness clinic than usual.

While Romina was swamped with work, she received a call from Elliana.
“Romina, your friend from prison, the one you got along with, is going to be executed in two days…” Elliana suddenly paused, then continued, “Are you going to take Lina to see her one last time?”
“Boom-”
The news hit Romina like a bolt from the blue, her pupils widening in shock.
Elliana worked as a journalist and was extremely sensitive to news.
The reason she got the news so quickly was because Romina had always asked Elliana to keep an eye on any updates about Savannah.
She knew this day would come, but she hadn’t expected it to be so soon.
Thinking about how Lina would lose her mother at such a young age, a wave of sadness washed over her.
“Romi, are you listening?”
The sudden question snapped Romina out of her thoughts.
Romina’s expression darkened. “Can you help me arrange a meeting with her tomorrow? I still want to take Lina to see her mother.”
“I can do it,” Elliana responded quickly. “Let me give it a try.”
“Thank you, Elly.”
Elliana had helped her a lot with this matter.
Once everything was settled, she definitely had to treat Elliana to a good meal.
Elliana replied seriously, “We’re good friends, there’s no need to be so polite.”
After Romina hung up the phone, Miguel walked over. “Romi, there’s a patient who needs a follow–up tomorrow morning…”
Before Miguel could finish, Romina interrupted him. “I have something very important to handle to- morrow. The wellness clinic might have to be left to you alone. If you can’t manage, we can close for a day.”
“It’s fine, there’s no need to close,” Miguel replied. Noticing her pale face, he asked with concern, “Did something happen? You don’t look well.”

“Yes, something did come up,” Romina said, rising from the consultation chair. “You go and check in with the patient first. I’ll go to the restroom.”
“Alright.”
As Romina stood up, she suddenly felt her legs go weak.
Her steps faltered abruptly for a moment.
Miguel quickly reached out, instinctively steadying her by the arm, his voice filled with worry. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine…”
Romina quickly pulled her hand away and hurried toward the restroom.
She stood in front of the sink, bracing her hands on either side of the counter, her gaze fixed on the
basin.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, a result of her agitated emotions.
The sound of splashing water kept falling steadily.
A large teardrop slipped from her eye, mingling with the water and disappearing down the drain.
She actually didn’t know much about the specifics of Savannah’s imprisonment.
All she knew was that Savannah’s husband had someone else outside, and she had done something to her husband’s lover…
In short, the situation was very
bad.
Romina always felt that deep down, Savannah was actually a very kind person. She just had bad luck— marrying a gambler, and a playboy at that.
She had heard that before the Shannon family fell from grace, Savannah was a rich girl.
But later, she fell in love with the wrong person, made mistake after mistake, and ended up on the wrong path.
“Where’s Romina?”
