Oriana took only one day of leave. The next morning, she reported on time to reunite with the team and continued her volunteer work.
As for Micah, he stayed behind in Sunrise Village without the slightest hesitation, using his recovery as the perfect excuse.
Oriana couldn’t be bothered to call him out on it In his specially modified Maybach, even driving over rocky, pitted roads felt smooth and stable.
The minor injuries on his back were hardly an issue at all.
But Oriana didn’t press the matter too firmly. With everything that had happened recently, while he was far away in Jindiwood, he must have been more anxious than anyone. If she insisted on sending him away, she feared it would only hurt him more.
So, she simply let him be.
Oriana focused on her work in Sunrise Village with peace of mind. After the online rumors about her were clarified, within a few days, all discussions carrying her name were forcibly suppressed. Whether good or bad, very few mentioned her again.
A few days later, another shocking scandal erupted online.
Hank, a notorious paparazzi famous for stalking celebrities, was exposed for owing millions in online loans. With nowhere left to turn, he publicly released all the gossip he had secretly collected over his many years in the industry.
There were clear, front–facing photos of a certain retired, married movie queen frolicking with young male models on an island.
There were audio recordings of a certain internationally renowned director making lewd and degrading remarks about multiple women in the industry at a cocktail party.
There were even explosive, private photos of a certain male idol, who publicly called a certain producer ‘friend‘, secretly spending thirty–eight hours in a room with the producer’s wife…
For a while, major scandals in the entertainment industry emerged one after another, keeping the public enthralled and overwhelmed. Trending headlines came in relentless waves, each more sensational than the last!
It was said that Hank faced retaliation for this and soon vanished without a trace from the industry…

Amidst all the major celebrity scandals, another name–less famous but familiar–briefly survived on the trending charts.
It was revealed that the information about Zoey secretly receiving treatment at the Jindiwood University Medical School Affiliated Hospital had actually been privately leaked to Hank by Luna!
Zoey had disappeared from the public eye for a long time after that incident. Compared to the top–tier celebrities, it hardly seemed noteworthy.
But Luna’s name… netizens were certainly not unfamiliar with it lately.
[Wow, isn’t that the newlywed wife of that robot company CEO? Why is she wading into the messy waters of the entertainment industry too?]
[I’ve got the tea. Luna was still a hospital intern back then. She leaked a patient’s private info to the paparazzi. Ever heard of medical ethics? Disgusting!]
[Exactly. Zoey’s no saint, but this Sterling girl is worse!]
[Get the name right. She’s Luna! There are plenty of doctors named Sterling. Like Dr. Oriana Sterling from the other day–now she’s the real deal.]
[Thank god Jindiwood University kicked Luna out. Keeping someone like that around is dangerous. A doctor? Yeah, right. Who’d ever let her treat them?]
[I’m dying here. Are Mr. Holloway and his new wifey trying to break into showbiz together? Why are they trending every single day?]

Grant had been pulling all–nighters for days and finally cracked the OHM robot issue.
Exhausted, he’d just stepped out of the lab. Spotting the daily nutrition soup waiting on his desk, the tension between his brows eased slightly.
He was starting to think… maybe he should give Luna a chance.
At least for the child’s sake…
“Bad news, Grant! We’ve got a huge problem!”
Alaric burst into the office, shouting.
Grant’s brows furrowed instantly. “The OHM issue is resolved. Schedule a press release. What else could possibly go wrong now?”

“Not OHM–it’s Luna!”

Alaric shoved his phone at Grant, who’d been completely off the grid for days. “Our official socials are getting swamped. Luna’s sparked public outrage, and we’re getting dragged down with her!”
At Borian House, Luna was in the kitchen, exchanging soup–simmering tips with Ella, when a heavy slam echoed through the house. Both women jumped and rushed out.
“Mr. Holloway?! You’re back!”
Luna’s surprise quickly turned to shock. After days of silence, Grant was suddenly home!
She swiftly plastered on a bright smile. “Grant-
She had barely taken a step toward him when, in the next instant, Grant seized her by the throat and slammed her onto the sofa.
Only then did she see his face–contorted with fury.
“Mr. Holloway? Hey, wait–she’s pregnant! You can’t-”
Ella moved to intervene, but before she could get close, Grant’s eyes burned blood–red. He shot her a vicious glare. “Three seconds. Get out.
Ella’s heart plummeted. “But—”
Under Grant’s grip, Luna choked out the words, struggling for air. “Help… help me…”
