He hurriedly ended the call and walked toward the ward.
After Romina entered the ward, Hayden, perhaps awakened by the sound of the door opening, also woke up.
“Don’t move, Grandpa, let me remove the needles for you…”
Romina quickly approached, keeping Hayden in his original position.
“Alright.” Hayden smiled and said, “Romi, I feel much better now, my chest doesn’t feel so tight anymore.”
“Really…”
Romina looked at him with a bright smile, then focused on removing Hayden’s needles.
Just as she removed the last needle, Joaquin happened to return to the ward entrance.
“Doctor, please check on my grandpa.”
“Alright.”
The man stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became especially tense.
But Romina remained particularly calm, quietly tidying up her things.
The doctor quickly took out his equipment, listened to Hayden’s breathing, then looked at Romina in shock: “He real- ly has improved. Mrs. Bowman’s medical skills are truly remarkable…”
After the doctor finished speaking, Romina just smiled faintly and nodded to Hayden and the doctor.
“Doctor, are you sure my grandpa is alright?”
A look of surprise appeared in Jericho’s eyes.
In his impression, Romina’s medical skills were only mediocre. Hayden’s current condition was so severe that even experts in naturopathy didn’t dare attempt physical therapy, yet she had resolved it so easily?
When did she become so skilled?
“Doctor, you must check carefully. If something happens after Ms. Sandoval leaves, it will be hard to explain.”
Seeing Romina about to leave, Nadine’s voice grew noticeably sharper.
“He really is much better. And as far as I know, only the legendary naturopathic doctor ‘Mie’ is capable of using phys- ical therapy to clear the fascia in such a short time. May I ask, Mrs. Bowman, what is your relationship with her?”

The doctor looked at Romina in astonishment, admiration filling his eyes.
Everyone’s attention was now focused on Romina.
Romina had intended to leave, but her steps suddenly paused.
Mie.
That name was actually her nickname.
It was given to her by Joshua, and only Joshua ever called her that.
Ever since Joshua passed away, Romina had always remembered his teachings: saving lives is a doctor’s duty, not for money or profit, but for the well-being of ordinary people.
She had used this name to save lives for more than ten years.
The only people who truly knew her identity were Elliana and her senior brother, Terry Gomez.
Terry was Joshua’s only direct disciple, but he had lived incognito for many years, saving lives, which led to the ru- mor that she was Joshua’s only disciple.
She had only studied medicine under Joshua, who taught her all his skills, but he never acknowledged her as his disci- ple.
“If Romi doesn’t want to talk about it, don’t force her.”
Seeing that Romina remained silent, Hayden stepped in to smooth things over for her.
Romina’s lips curved into a faint smile: “I don’t know the doctor you mentioned, nor do I have any connection with her. Since Grandpa is better now, I’ll be leaving. If he needs anything, you can contact me anytime.”
After Romina spoke, Nadine, standing to the side, showed a barely noticeable look of disdain.
She had always known that Romina was just a housewife.
Apart from carving quartz and some mediocre medical skills, she was good for nothing else!
How could she possibly know any renowned naturopathic doctor?
“Alright, Romi, take care!”
A gentle smile appeared on Hayden’s face as he watched her leave.
Jericho also watched her departing figure, his eyes full of surprise.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman was hiding something from him….
Hearing footsteps approaching, Joaquin, who was standing at the door, shifted his body and leaned against the wall.
Romina left in a direction away from him.

When she left, she had no idea Joaquin was still standing at the door.
The man watched her departing figure, his gaze suddenly darkening.
He reached out his well-defined hand, took out his phone, and dialed his assistant.
“Mr. Bowman, are you looking for me?”
The man gazed at the graceful figure, and only after she entered the elevator did he withdraw his gaze and say into the phone, “Help me conduct a thorough investigation on Romina. I need all her information from childhood to now…”
“Ms. Sandoval?” Erick’s surprised voice came through the phone. “Mr. Bowman, isn’t she Jericho’s wife? Why do you want to investigate her?”
Joaquin’s expression darkened. “Erick, is this your first day working with me?”
Erick, who had just come out of the meeting room across the hall, suddenly didn’t even dare to breathe.
He rarely interfered in Joaquin’s personal affairs, and Joaquin especially disliked people prying into matters he intend- ed to handle himself.
