My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart (Oriana) novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467 A Crisis Averted

The moment Oriana looked up, she saw Kai’s face flush a deep, alarming crimson.

Oriana gasped softly. “You…”

Kai managed a strained smile, his voice coming out in a rough croak. “You were right… the broth is… really… cough, cough, hack!”

He couldn’t finish. Clutching his throat, he was wracked by violent coughing.

“Cough! Hack!”

“For goodness‘ sake, you didn’t have to go this far. Couldn’t you just have told Dr. Sterling you can’t handle spice?” His manager couldn’t bear to watch, handing him a glass of water.

Oriana was taken aback. “He can’t eat spicy food? But he just said he loved it?”

The manager rolled her eyes dramatically. “Loves it, my foot. He can’t handle a hint of heat. Plus, for his fitness regimen, his diet is super bland. He never touches heavy, greasy stuff like this.”

Oriana was at a loss for words.

But Kai was still coughing violently, his face growing more distressed. He clutched his throat, mouth opening as if trying to expel something.

A sudden thought struck Oriana. She quickly stood up and moved behind Kai, wrapping her arms around his abdomen. Applying the Heimlich maneuver, she performed a firm upward thrust.

With a retching sound, Kai expelled a couple of whole peppercorns onto the ground. He slumped back, gasping and pale, tears welling in his eyes as he looked up at Oriana. “You saved

me…”

His team finally realized it wasn’t the spice–he had been genuinely choking on an obstruction.

Thankfully, Oriana had reacted swiftly!

“Kai, are you okay?”

“Quick, get the car ready. We need to go to the hospital for a check–up!”

As a top star, Kai’s health couldn’t be taken lightly.

Kai waved his hands weakly, catching his breath. “No, no, I’m fine. Really. Let’s… let’s just keep eating.”

Then, with watery eyes, he looked pleadingly at Oriana. “This wasn’t your fault. I wanted to try it. Please don’t feel guilty or blame yourself.”

Oriana gave him a long, steady look. After a moment, she calmly returned to her seat and resumed eating as if nothing had happened.

“Your body is your own. If you choose to mistreat it, that’s on you. Of course I wouldn’t blame myself.”

Kai and others was lost for words.

Dr. Sterling’s emotional resilience is truly something else.

Kai offered an awkward chuckle. After his assistant cleaned up, he cautiously returned to his seat, now treading carefully, unsure of Oriana’s mood and not daring to push his luck. He stopped insisting on cooking food for her and quietly stuck to his own mild broth, eating meekly.

Oriana thoroughly enjoyed the meal. After politely thanking the team and helping clean up a bit, she said her goodbyes.

Kai instinctively moved to walk her back. Oriana glanced over her shoulder. “I can find my way. Don’t go tripping and hurting yourself again.”

“Alright. Okay.”

Kai stood there like a forlorn lighthouse keeper, watching her figure until it disappeared from sight.

Seeing his dejected slump, his manager patted his shoulder. “Dr. Sterling’s attitude is actually healthy. At least she doesn’t internalize things. Would you rather see her tormented and conflicted over you?”

“Of course not!”

Kai answered without hesitation. “You’re right. She should just be herself. As for me… I’ll just have to work twice as hard to be good to her!”

Early the next morning, the moment Oriana opened her eyes and reached for her phone, she saw a flood of messages from Zara.

“Oriana! It’s a disaster! You’re being torn apart online!!”
