Before departure, the hospital had packed a comprehensive medical kit for emergencies.

Snapping back to attention, Kieran didn’t delay. “Right away. Please look after Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Caldwell.”

“Of course.”

As Kieran took a few steps, Micah’s low voice followed. “Kieran. What I said earlier. Execute it promptly.”

Oriana cut in, “Work? Now?”

Kieran quickly said, “I’ll arrange it once you are stable, Mr. Caldwell!”

He then hurried off without looking back.

After Kieran left, Oriana continued rinsing Micah’s back.

Fifteen to twenty minutes minimum…

But as her hand rested on his firm shoulder, she felt a slight tremor run through him.

At her touch, he flinched almost electrically, then forcibly stilled the shaking.

Oriana’s eyes reddened, her voice hoarse. “Micah, if it hurts, don’t hide it.”

“I’m… fine.”

He spoke through gritted teeth.

“Don’t lie. It’s swollen!” Oriana bit her lip, hardly daring to recall the moment. “Why were you so reckless? What if… what if it had been something stronger…”

“Then I’d be glad I was the one in front of you.”

“Micah!”

Tears spilled freely down Oriana’s cheeks.

All her anger melted into tenderness. She held him tightly, breathing deeply, drawing in his

Micah let her hold him.

From an angle she couldn’t see, a faint, contented smile touched his lips.

Bathed in the evening glow, it was a smile of pure happiness.

Meanwhile, Kieran reached the volunteer team, explained the situation, and Chuck and others immediately gathered emergency supplies and followed him.

Lottie had just slipped out from the back room where she’d been hiding, scrolling through her phone. Watching Oriana get torn apart online, branded a loose woman everyone loved to hate, gave her a deep, satisfying thrill.

Serves her right!

That’s exactly the ending Oriana deserves!

Let’s see how Kai protects her now!

“Hey, why is everyone just standing around? Isn’t it time for dinner?” Lottie asked cheerfully as she walked over, nearly bumping into Audrey, who was rushing out after getting a message.

“Dr. Bishop, where are you off to? Dinner’s ready,” Lottie called after her.

The situation with Micah’s injury was serious, and they couldn’t afford any delay. Audrey didn’t have time to explain. “Start without me,” she said hurriedly before heading out the door.

“Dr. Bishop?” Lottie was puzzled. She turned back to her colleagues, who all looked grim, and asked with a still–playful grin, “What’s going on? Why the long faces? Did someone in the village get hurt?”

Someone answered quietly, “Not someone from the village. It’s Dr. Sterling’s husband.”

Lottie froze. “Who? Which Dr. Sterling?”

“Who else? Oriana Sterling. You must have missed it, Lottie. Dr. Bishop got a call. One of Kai’s deranged fans actually tracked him here to Sunrise Village. She got her hands on some corrosive liquid and threw it at Dr. Sterling! Luckily, Dr. Sterling’s husband arrived just in time and took the hit for her.

“Honestly, though, her husband must really love her. With all those rumors swirling online about her and multiple men… and yet Mr. Caldwell still threw himself in front of her without a second thought.”

“Absolutely. Those online whispers must be complete lies. Otherwise, after that whole incident with Professor Flint spread through the entire hospital, how could her husband not have heard? He must have rushed here to protect her because she’s being framed.”

“Think about it–the news broke this morning. He got here this afternoon, and it’s a Wednesday, a workday. He must have dropped everything and come straight here.”

“Ugh, when will it be my turn to find a man like that?”
