Miranda had taken some photos of Winter too. In one of them, Winter had just gotten off the roller coaster, looking like she'd escaped with her life. Miranda couldn't help but laugh.She scrolled to the end. The last photo was a solo shot of her. Before she closed the app, she noticed two familiar f
On the other end of the line, Miranda was stunned. The image of Hansel and Ingrid holding hands in her photo resurfaced in her mind.She said mildly, "If you don't feel well, then go to the hospital. I'm not a doctor." With that, she hung up the phone. Her tone was casual, as though she were just ta
Tina was also confused. In the past, when Hansel had ended up in the hospital, Miranda had stayed by his bedside and attended to him. She'd even tear up from heartache. How come she wasn't here this time?As soon as Evelyn asked that question, a deathly silence fell over the room.Hansel said nothi
Miranda checked the fridge as soon as she reached her apartment. There were still plenty of groceries left from yesterday. She decided to whip up a beef stew, pork ribs, scrambled eggs, and some salad. Her movements were swift as she washed and chopped up the vegetables. On the other hand, Solomon
Despite the delicious and appetizing dishes, Solomon felt uneasy throughout the meal. He finally managed to finish eating and quickly excused himself. The apartment suddenly became quiet all of a sudden.As Miranda cleaned up the dishes, Tina's words echoed in her mind. Gastric perforation…While s
The temperature had been rising since the beginning of July. The weather forecast issued a red alert due to the high temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which had persisted for a week. After repeated calculations and verifications, there was finally some progress in Paul's experiment. With great
This was a rare opportunity for Miranda."If you're interested, you can take this home and look it over carefully." Paul took out a USB drive and placed it in front of her. "This contains the details of the experiment materials." Miranda looked up, her bright eyes filled with emotion. "Thank you. I
Miranda finished her morning run and took a shower. When she came out, she noticed the new pink succulent among the rows of differently-shaped green ones on her balcony.She gently poked the leaves with her finger. Her mood improved considerably when she laid her eyes on the soft and tender succulen
Under Susan's gaze, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine. "You… Why are you acting so weird? Are you mute? You don't look like it from how you're dressed."She shot Susan a glare and muttered, "Crazy woman," before heading back into her apartment building. Susan stayed rooted to the spot. Her face
They made it back from the school to Harold's place just in time for dinner. After dinner, Lionel and his family said their goodbyes. Upon seeing this, Leonard's family made their exit right after. Jenny walked them to the door before collapsing onto the couch, clutching her lower back. "What a ti
Paul's genes ensured both good looks and a decent figure. On top of that, judging by how generous he was with his gifts, he clearly wasn't just an ordinary college professor. He probably came from an affluent family. Elite families like his often went back several generations, which meant his rela
Since it was the end of the year, the students were all on holiday. The vast school grounds felt a little deserted. Dallas Urban, the school's security guard, noticed Lionel coming from a distance. He stepped out of the guard booth and greeted him cheerfully, "Mr. Sutton!" Then his gaze landed on
"There's still a pile of pots and pans in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned," Jenny complained."I'm just like a maid that's born to toil endlessly, unlike you who can enjoy such an easy life. "You should really learn from Lionel. He cooks every time they host a gathering. You two are brothers, but
"I'm cooking something," Paul said. "Why are you cooking this late at night?" Susan asked. "I wanted a midnight snack."Susan knew her son didn't normally eat late. Clearly, he was cooking for someone else. The thought worsened her mood. "When are you planning to come back to Elgerson?" she asked
Suddenly, Miranda stopped walking. She turned to face Paul and said seriously, "Thank you, Paul, for coming to Lumberville to spend Christmas with me. And… thank you for being in my life."Paul was slightly taken aback. Then, he gently squeezed her hand. "You dummy. I should be the one thanking you.
Yale wasn't too pleased. "But… I was just trying to clear the way for you. Am I wrong for doing that?"He couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Paul softened his tone and explained, "That's not what I meant. First off, Mom had already agreed to me coming to Lumberville. There was no need for lie
"Oh, you're back? What were you guys doing?" Lionel came out of the kitchen, still wearing his apron. He looked a little puzzled when he saw everyone gathered around Paul and Miranda. "Dad…" Miranda was about to go over with the shopping bags, but Paul had already taken them from her before she cou
