“Since Ms. Sandoval is here, I’ll head back now.” Nadine looked up at the man in front of her. “Jericho, get some rest tonight. I’ll return to my room.”
The man nodded gently, watching her leave.
“Click-”
The moment the door closed, the room instantly fell into a brief silence.
Romina glanced at him coldly, then lay down on the bed.
They hadn’t shared a bed in a long time. After a moment’s thought, Jericho still walked to the other side of the bed.
Romina had no intention of paying him any attention. She turned over and closed her eyes.
The man also said nothing, lying down beside her.
“Go sleep on the sofa.”
Hearing the movement, Romina turned to look at Jericho.
“This is my house. If anyone’s sleeping on the sofa, it should be you.”
After vomiting, Jericho was already feeling much better.
Without a second thought, Romina got up, went to the walk–in closet, took out a blanket, and lay down
on the sofa.
Jericho couldn’t help but feel both annoyed and amused at the sight.
“Just how much do you dislike me?”
“As long as you know,”
Romina glared at him, then closed her eyes, planning to make do with a night on the sofa.

Joaquin smoked one cigarette after another, only entering the bathroom after the lights in the next bed-

He took a cold shower before he finally sobered up completely.
The restless heat in his body gradually subsided.
Lying in bed, he felt no sleepiness at all, listening intently for any sounds from the next bedroom, but there was nothing.
Romina and Nadine were also unable to sleep that night.
The only one who slept soundly was the man lying in the same bedroom as Romina.

The next day, when Joaquin woke up, he didn’t see any sign of Romina.
Jericho, along with Nadine and Kashton, was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
“Joaquin, come have breakfast.”
Although there had been some unpleasantness between Jericho and Joaquin over Romina the previous day, Jericho still called him to eat.
Joaquin didn’t respond, but instead asked, “Where is Ms. Sandoval? Why haven’t I seen her come down?”
“She wasn’t in the bedroom when I woke up. I guess she got up early to work!”
Jericho’s voice was low, a trace of displeasure appearing on his face.
The man nodded slightly and walked silently toward the door.
After getting in the car, he took out his phone and called Romina.
At this moment, wellness clinic.
Romina was seeing patients, overwhelmed with work.
Her phone, placed in the drawer, kept vibrating, but she simply had no time to answer it.
Miguel suddenly developed a high fever and called Romina carly in the morning, saying he needed to take half a day off.

Around noon, Miguel, looking exhausted, appeared at the wellness clinic.
Romina looked up at him, a bit surprised: “Miguel, it’s not even the afternoon yet! Why did you come so early?”
“I just couldn’t stop worrying about you handling all the patients alone, so I came over early.”
“Are you sure your body can handle it?”
Romina’s gaze fell on his haggard face, a trace of concern surfacing in her eyes.
“It’s fine, I’ve already taken some medicine. I feel much better now.”
