For the first time, Oriana and Micah opened up to each other for a long, honest talk. Oriana finally saw the reality clearly.
She couldn’t expect to out–argue or out–reason Micah.
Because in his world, she was number one.
That realization was both sweet and frustrating for Oriana–almost like being crowned the most important person in the world by Micah himself, but feeling useless because even she couldn’t shake that
status.
After a long silence, Micah tightened his grip on her hand uncertainly. “Are you still mad?”
“Yeah, I’m mad. I could stay mad at you forever, Micah.”
?
His expression instantly turned worried. “I’m sorry.”
Before he could finish apologizing, Oriana pushed herself up. Just as he hoped, she pulled his head down and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips.
“From now on, if you ever go behind my back again, I won’t forgive you.”
He held her face carefully, full of tenderness and longing.
“I won’t. I swear I won’t.”
Oriana stayed with Micah at the hospital for a full body checkup.
The advanced equipment here had all been brought in from overseas by the Caldwell family years ago to build Micah’s treatment team. Oriana had only ever seen most of it in textbooks. There was even one machine that cost over a million to run each time it powered on every piece designed just for Micah.
When Micah finished the exam, he slowly buttoned up his shirt. Hearing voices, he waved off Kieran, who was about to help him, and his face darkened. Despite stumbling a bit, he made his way toward Oriana, who was still immersed in discussing the new device with Nelson.
Suddenly, an icy presence appeared beside Oriana, chilling the air.
She turned around, realizing late, “Hey, how’d you get down here by yourself? Your buttons aren’t even done. Why didn’t you call me?”
Oriana hadn’t been wrong.
By now, the whole world really did know their perfect couple was having trouble.
At first, rumors had leaked from some unknown source. Then, sensing a traffic spike, media reporters swarmed in to dig for news.

Disguised as regular visitors, they quietly investigated Oriana’s current situation. Just then, something happened in the lunchroom during break time. Many people there overheard bits and pieces of gossip.
Especially Grant’s line, “Micah has been lying to you,” which sparked plenty of speculation and talking points.
But because of Micah’s status and the hospital’s current partnership with the Research Center on smart medical systems, no one dared to blow it up publicly.
Still, there was no shortage of private discussions.
Naturally, some eager media caught wind of the rumors and quickly used AI–assisted tech to draft and publish news reports, pushing the topic to trend across all platforms.
O
Within hours, while Oriana and Micah were unaware, the story surged to the top of trending lists.
Seeing the story had real weight, more media teams jumped in–some chasing after Grant, others blocking the Research Center’s entrance, and others heading straight to the Caldwell family.
