When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1786 Forget It

“Miranda, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being useless," Adrian said, seated in his wheelchair as he emerged from the hospital room.

Miranda turned around to look at him.

This time, Adrian genuinely felt remorse. Despite being a man, he was unable to assist his own wife and child.

On the surface, Miranda showed no signs of it, but deep down, she detested him intensely.

She stepped forward to ask, "What are you doing out here?"noveldrama

"Seeing that you hadn't returned, I came looking for you. I was worried something might have happened," Adrian replied.

After he finished speaking, he again grasped Miranda's hand. "Miranda, let's just forget it."

"Huh? What do you mean forget it?"

Upon hearing the words "forget it" once again, Miranda furrowed her brows tightly.

"We have everything we would ever want now. There's really no need to compete with Nathaniel and his lot. Besides, Orion Corporation was originally built up single-handedly by Nathaniel. We have the inheritance from Grandpa, which is already more than enough."

As a prestigious family, the Rainsworth family's wealth wasn't built on a single company.

Niel still had a considerable amount of wealth and a vast network of connections at his disposal.

Miranda's expression slightly hardened. "Why are you so unambitious?"

"No, I've realized it now. I truly want to live a peaceful life. I'm done with all the constant plotting."

Adrian wore a bitter expression on his face.

At first, he was genuinely infuriated by the antics of the two rascals, contemplating a fitting revenge.

But now, he had calmed down. On careful reflection, he realized he could never be at peace if he had ended up harming the children.

Moreover, if it really came down to taking the lives of two young children, he wouldn't have the heart to do it.

Even though he was a jerk and was fond of womanizing, taking a child's life was beyond him.

"You're really going to be the death of me!" Miranda nearly choked from the anger that was surging within her.

She took several deep breaths, then turned her gaze back to Adrian. "You should just stay in the hospital."

Miranda didn't want to stay any longer and wallow in pity together with Adrian.

As Adrian watched her retreating figure, he let out a deep sigh, uncertain of what to do next.

He never had much ambition to begin with. Even before marrying Miranda, he was content to live in the shadow of Nathaniel.

However, ever since marrying Miranda, she had always demanded that he be more successful than Nathaniel.

After Miranda left, she found herself in of where to go. A certain

where they were.

Inside the mansion, the doorbell rang, and it sent a chill through the person inside, who dared not to answer the door.

Growing impatient, Miranda continued to press the button. She then addressed the security camera. "It's me. Open the door."

The person inside the house, upon hearing Miranda's voice, finally fett their anxiety ease a little. They then proceeded to walk outside and open the door.

Miranda saw Stella standing pitifully at the door, looking rather forlorn. She was

dressed in her nightgown, her hair unkempt.

When Stella saw Miranda, it was as if she had seen her savior.

Her expression gradually darkened, disbelief creeping into her eyes. "How did you end up like this?"

The best way to describe Stella right then was a lunatic.

Stella sensed the curious gaze upon her, which led her to instinctively lower her head and dust herself.

"Ms. Miranda, could you lend me some money?" she asked.

Money?

Miranda's eyebrows cocked slightly. "Are you short on cash? What do you need the money for?"

"Many of my contracts have been cancelled, and I've accumulated significant debt..." Stella shuddered at the mere thought of it.

She no longer dared to leave the house casually, nor did she dare to answer the phone.
