My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart (Oriana) novel Chapter 59

**He Returned to Break and Own Me and for His Queen**

**Chapter 59: Luna’s Acting**

“Luna?”

The air in the room shifted as Grant’s expression darkened in an instant, a tempest of fury flickering across his features. “I don’t need you to stay with me. Right now—just vanish from my sight.”

“Grant, besides me, who else would care about you so recklessly?”

Luna’s voice trembled, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She stole one last glance at him, feeling the weight of his stubbornness pressing down on her heart. His domineering attitude sliced through her like a knife, and in that moment, she felt utterly defeated. With a sharp turn, she stormed out of the room, her heart pounding as the hospital door slammed shut behind her.

Grant, feeling the exhaustion seep into his bones, pressed a hand against his aching stomach. He sank into the depths of solitude, enveloped by a heavy silence that mirrored his dispirited spirit.

Meanwhile, Luna returned to her hotel, her anger boiling over. She flung her still-packed luggage haphazardly onto the floor, a chaotic mess reflecting her turmoil.

“Grant, you chose Oriana over me. You’ll regret it,” she muttered under her breath, her fists clenched in frustration.

After venting her pent-up emotions, she collapsed onto the bed, burying her face in her hands as bitter sobs wracked her body. Tears streamed down her cheeks, each drop a testament to the heartache she felt.

The next morning, Luna donned a pair of oversized sunglasses, hoping to conceal her swollen, tear-stained eyes from the world. She called for a cab to take her to the outskirts of town, her mind racing with thoughts of Grant and Oriana.

As she arrived at the entrance of Nonrow Manor, she took a deep breath, steadying herself before registering her visit. With careful strokes, she penned her name in the logbook, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread.

The staff exchanged glances, doing a double-take as they recognized the young woman before them. It had been quite some time since a lady had graced their manor, and they couldn’t help but wonder if she was the same girl they remembered, especially with her sunglasses obscuring her features.

Yet, she radiated youth and beauty, reminiscent of the last visitor.

“Miss? Which ancestor are you here to pay respects to?” one of the staff inquired, curiosity evident in their tone.

Luna selected a large bouquet of vibrant carnations from a nearby stand, her voice steady as she replied, “Niall and Rory.”

With a sense of deliberate familiarity, she strolled into the manor, as if the path were etched into her memory.

The staff’s faces brightened with recognition, and they quickly phoned the caretakers. “She’s here. That young lady has arrived.”

Luna made her way to the graves of Niall and Rory, her heart heavy with mixed emotions.

As she approached the gravestones, she noticed a few bouquets already placed there, and her eyes narrowed slightly in surprise.

She hadn’t anticipated that, even years after her beloved foster parents had passed, there were still people who remembered them fondly.

Of course, they had earned their place in the hearts of many during their lives.

How utterly ridiculous. Niall had died a hero, awarded medals for his bravery and achievements, yet Luna had spent her life being labeled as an illegitimate child, a constant target for bullying and scorn.

All because Niall and Rory had chosen to live a simple life, avoiding drawing attention to themselves.

Bullshit. Their daughter now lived in luxury with the Sterling family, while Luna had endured a life filled with misery and hardship.

Luna froze, surprise coursing through her veins. “You know my parents?”

Leo pulled her into a warm embrace, tears glistening in his eyes. “Finally, we found you.”

Luna was still processing the unexpected encounter, but she didn’t push him away.

She noticed that the young man wore a lab coat emblazoned with the Jindiwood University Medical College insignia. It was a tangible reminder of the world they were both part of now.

A small smile curved Luna’s lips, a flicker of hope igniting within her. Today’s visit had yielded an unexpected reward.

Meanwhile, Grant had not slept a wink throughout the night, his mind racing with thoughts of Luna.

When Alaric arrived and saw Grant looking so haggard, concern flooded his expression. “Grant, are you okay? Don’t scare me.”

Grant’s voice emerged hoarse and raspy, “Where’s Uriah?”

Alaric hurriedly replied, “Uriah just landed this morning and is rushing over from the airport.”

Grant pressed against the bed, determination surging through him as he pushed himself up.

“Tell him he doesn’t need to come. We’re going straight to City Hall.”

Oriana had classes in the afternoon, but she had woken up early as well, her mind racing with thoughts of the day ahead.
