Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

She was sick? Yeah, right.

Enough with the act!

“What are you doing here?”

Jericho’s icy voice rang out in Romina’s ears.

She looked up, only to see him and Kashton accompanying Nadine for a follow-up appointment.

The three of them looked every bit the picture of a happy, loving family.

Putting on a surprised look, Nadine said, feigning helplessness, “Ms. Sandoval, is this pretense really necessary? If you wanted to see Jericho, you could have just come back. After all, you’ve just been released. Perhaps you should think about how your actions might reflect on the Bowman family…”

Kashton’s eyes lit up immediately. Was Romina here to wait for

them?

Did she regret not returning home with them?

A flicker of joy passed through his heart.

But then, he remembered what Romina had said before and

pouted. “Mommy, you’re such a hypocrite. You clearly can’t live without Daddy and me and want to come home with us. Why pretend otherwise?”

Jericho sneered, “I thought you actually had some backbone

and would never come back. Yet you gave up so soon. Classic you, Romina.”

Just then, the doctor said, “Ms. Sandoval, here’s your medication.”

He handed her the prescription.

As his mind flashed to her wounds, he looked at Jericho and those two standing by his side, frowning with displeasure.

“You’re blocking my patient’s way. Please step aside.””

Romina’s gaze falling upon the three was utterly cold. She raised

her hand, showing them the meds. “See? I’m here for my

prescription. Get help if you need it.”

Jericho’s expression darkened as he frowned slightly.

Romina fell sick right after she was released?

So, when she was imprisoned…

Romina was about to leave when Kashton pursed his lips and

grabbed her sleeve.

“My graduation is around the corner. No matter how upset you

are, you should come. After all, you’re my … mommy!”

The last word was barely audible.

After saying this, he looked at Nadine embarrassedly, as if

worried she’d be displeased.

Romina didn’t even glance at him.

Pulling his hand away, she said icily, “You’ve got the wrong

person. I’m not your mommy.””

With that, she turned to leave.

Just then, Nadine said, “Ms. Sandoval, I get it-you’re too

ashamed to come back after being in prison. But, still, you’re a mother. After being away for three years, are you still gonna

ignore Kash? He’s your son.”

Her voice wasn’t exactly small.

Many onlookers cast glances at Romina.

Their attention was attracted by words like “in prison” and

“ignore”.

They were whispering among themselves.

Then a police officer walked toward Nadine.

“Ms. Lambert, we’ve received a report claiming that two lion

statues were stolen from their residence. Since these statues

were featured in your home during a recent interview, I’m

afraid you’ll need to come down with me to the station for

questioning.”

Everyone was instantly in an uproar.

Jericho frowned.

Romina was staying at Breeze Vista?

Nadine was dumbfounded, her cheeks heating.

Before she could utter a word, Romina coughed, the

indifference on her pale face unmistakable.
