"Sandy, is it gout?" Miranda asked."How did you know?" Sandy was surprised."Dr. Young has it, too," Miranda explained. "I've got a herbal medicine formula for it. It won't cure it, but it works well for pain and has fewer side effects than modern medicine." Sandy's lifeless eyes lit up instantly.
Bryan's eyes flickered, and he hesitated to say anything.Seeing everyone backing Miranda, Elizabeth was livid. However, she had to keep a neutral expression and struggled to control her rage. She said, "You never really know someone's true nature. What if it's all an act? I checked the data on my
"Do you have a solution?" Silas asked.Miranda said, "First, we must recover the deleted experimental data and check the deletion records. We can then determine when the data was deleted and figure out who was in the laboratory at that moment."He responded, "That sounds good, but who will recover t
At 8:00 pm, Paul treated everyone to late-night snacks. As soon as they sat down, Sandy said enthusiastically, "This place has the best and most affordable skewers. Miranda, you have to try their signature spicy beef skewers. I ordered a few extra for you." Silas sat beside Miranda and poured juic
"Even though Dr. Quinton, Sandy, and Dr. Jefferson are all focused on Miranda, I'm not. In my eyes, there's only you. I will always stand by your side and treat you as the most important person in my life," Bryan said earnestly.He added, "I really, really like you. Please give me a chance to protec
Miranda and Paul walked along the riverbank. Neon signs were flickering on both sides. The bustling city suddenly seemed to quiet down, giving Miranda a sense that time had slowed altogether. They strolled side by side in a gentle silence that wasn't awkward, but rather harmonious. It was as if jus
"After every failure, my dad and I would reflect on our mistakes and find a more hidden spot, but my mom would find it every time without fail. It was like she had a camera on her."Miranda then paused after noticing Paul hadn't spoken in a while. "Dr. Jefferson, are you listening?"She turned her h
Miranda paused midstep. "Sandy, Dr. Quinton, why are you both staring at me like that? Is there something wrong?" she asked.Sandy and Silas had been waiting for her to ask that very question!"Miranda, could I ask you for a favor?""What kind of favor?"Sandy explained, "I've got two sets of data h
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
