My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart (Oriana) novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Deep Affection

As Oriana stepped down from the Mercedes, the medical staff on the bus eagerly rolled down their windows, teasing nonstop.

“Wow, Dr. Sterling, your husband is dropping you off at work again? So sweet!”

“Mr. Caldwell just can’t bear to let his wife leave for a trip. He’s way too clingy!”

Oriana blushed deeply. Kieran had already gotten off to grab the suitcase from the trunk. She held back Micah, who was about to follow her down. “Don’t get off. Everyone’s watching.”

Micah didn’t care. “They’ve already seen us. What’s a few more glances?”

“Micah!”

Through his dark sunglasses, Micah caught sight of Oriana’s shy, slightly annoyed expression.

Worried she might truly be upset and feel uncomfortable on the long bus ride, he decided to back off while he could.

He squeezed her palm firmly and spoke seriously, “Remember what we said before. Reach out to me whenever you have a chance.”

Oriana nodded. “Got it. Whenever I’m free and not busy, you’re the first person I think of, Mr. Caldwell.”

“Okay.”

Before stepping off, Micah stroked her cheek one last time. Oriana smiled softly and rubbed her palm against his before opening the door, pulling her suitcase toward the bus.

Even though she knew he couldn’t see her anymore, Oriana turned around and waved goodbye to the car.

In the driver’s seat, Kieran quietly said, “Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Caldwell is waving goodbye to you.”

Micah’s eyes locked on Oriana with nothing else in them but her. “I know.”

Kieran shifted uncomfortably before asking, “Your treatment is already halfway done. Maybe

should wait until Mrs. Caldwell returns to talk to her.”

Micah’s usually gentle face darkened instantly. “I have my own plans.”

Kieran lowered his head nervously and said no more.

Oriana settled on the bus, stowed her luggage, and found her seat.

As the bus slowly pulled away, Oriana pressed her forehead against the window, watching Micah’s car shrink and fade into the distance until she couldn’t see it anymore. Then she slowly turned around.

A nearby nurse whispered, “Dr. Sterling, are you crying?”

Quickly, she handed Oriana a tissue.

Oriana was startled herself. She raised her hand to touch her eyes; there was indeed a cool dampness.

She hadn’t even realized it.

Taking the tissue, Oriana thanked her silently.

Maybe I don’t even realize it myself, but I’m already becoming more and more dependent on Micah.

She quickly composed herself. Before long, she pulled out her notebook from her bag and dove back into her thesis work. Even volunteering couldn’t be neglected.

The bus drove off, and the Mercedes stayed still for a moment before pulling away as well.

At that moment, a red sports car silently turned the corner from a nearby street and followed the bus from a distance–not too close, not too far.

Since Xander sent that video yesterday, a chain of butterfly effects left Grant overwhelmed and frantic.

There was no time to handle the online rumors. Orders for Robert OHM on the official website plummeted rapidly. Under mounting pressure, they had no choice but to shut down the ordering page, blocking outsiders from accessing it. This stopped returns and new orders alike.

As a result, the already raging public opinion exploded with even more criticism.

Even Alaric was scared, worried about trouble they couldn’t handle. He cautiously asked, “Grant, are you sure it’s okay to close the page? The public backlash is fierce. What if they-”

“What if what? The terms clearly say the studio has the right to close the ordering channel. We

hold all the explanation rights. Let them curse all they want; if they’ve got guts, they can sue

me!”

Grant hadn’t slept all night, his eyes deep with exhaustion. He angrily kicked a chair, his face twisted with rage.

In one night, nearly a hundred million in website orders vanished. Who wouldn’t be furious?

On top of that, countless partners wanted to renegotiate contracts. Several key material suppliers were even willing to pay breach fees just to halt cooperation indefinitely!

And Oscar just took off, leaving behind a mess that stalled all research!

Grant had poured years of tireless effort into this, on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of the country’s tech scene, now all reduced to ashes. The thought made Grant’s chest burn like a raging fire–his pain unbearable.
