Chapter 10

Penulis: Baby X
Back then, Susan had opposed her son’s marriage. In her eyes, someone as outstanding as Felix deserved an equally accomplished wife. Instead, he ended up with a woman who lacked ambition and was content to be supported. Susan couldn’t help feeling her son had settled for less.

Suddenly, Xena stood and took a small, elegant gift box from her bag. She walked over to Mia and said sweetly, “Mia, I brought you a little present.”

Mia’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”

“Why don’t you open it and see?” Xena replied with a smile.

Xena leaned in close as she handed Mia the gift, and the faint scent of her perfume drifted toward Miranda. It was the same fragrance Felix always seemed to carry on him.

Miranda glanced up. Xena was standing beside Felix, leaning down with one hand extended. As she bent over, her arm brushed lightly against his shoulder.

Miranda turned her face away and quietly sipped her tea.

Mia unwrapped the box and gasped. “Wow! I love it!”

Inside the box was a delicate crystal

    The meeting continued, and Felix forced himself to stay focused as the team presented the project updates. Every now and then, his suppressed cough would slip out.Miranda kept her head down, taking notes. Suddenly, Felix spoke up, his voice slightly hoarse. “Miranda, what are your recommendations for the safety testing plan?”She looked up, her expression calm and steady. “The company can activate a level-three protection protocol. The details are on page fifteen of the report.”Felix frowned slightly and flipped to the page.Nothing unusual happened afterward. Once the meeting ended, people began filing out. Ben remained in his seat and glanced toward Felix with concern. “Mr. Gibson, how did you end up catching a cold?”“I got caught in the rain,” Felix replied.“Did you go to the hospital for medicine?”“Not yet. I’ll go in a bit.”Ben blinked. Felix had come to work sick without even stopping by urgent care first. His dedication was impressive, maybe a little too much.“Mi

    “Mia, why don't you tell Daddy to go back to Grandma's and change? It's close by.” Miranda spoke to Mia gently, satisfying her concern for Felix while conveniently getting rid of him.“Daddy, you should go wash up and change at Grandma’s. I don’t want you to catch a cold,” Mia said.Felix nodded and smoothed her hair. “Alright. Daddy will head back now.”After he left, Miranda gave Mia a cup of warm water and checked her over again to make sure she had not gotten wet.That night, Miranda cooked two bowls of pasta and enjoyed a quiet evening alone with Mia.*The next morning, when Miranda left the house, Keith had arranged a security car to follow her. For the next month, a protection team would stay close behind her everywhere she went.After dropping Mia off at school, she received a meeting notification from DE. Over the past week, the brain–computer interface project had finally completed its preliminary preparation and was ready to begin.She had taken seven days off, and

    Mia had been a high-needs baby from the day she was born. She almost never let anyone else hold her. During those months, Miranda barely slept and hardly ate. Even with both a nanny and a postpartum helper, she could not bring herself to hand Mia over. The moment someone else picked her up, Mia would scream until her tiny face turned bright red.She recognized Miranda’s scent instantly. Anyone else could only hold her for a few minutes before she began squirming and crying. Even when Felix tried to take her, Miranda refused. The entire period left her stretched thin and constantly on edge.Outside, the rain began again, tapping softly against the windows. Miranda drifted into those memories until Gigi padded down the hallway and nudged her knee with its nose. Gigi’s big eyes lifted toward Miranda as if it could sense something was wrong.Miranda reached down and stroked it gently. Gigi had become more perceptive with age. People often joked that she had the intelligence of a seven

    Miranda’s car pulled out first. Felix had to make a left turn, but he kept his eyes on her taillights. His grip on the steering wheel tightened.At the cafe, Miranda met Sophie for their usual catch-up. They talked about work and life, and the conversation eventually shifted to Miranda’s recent accident.“What? You were almost hit by a car?” Sophie nearly shouted.“Leo pushed me out of the way. He got hit instead. I spent the whole week taking care of him,” Miranda explained.“Is he okay?” Sophie asked, worried.“His arm was fractured, but he has already been discharged. He’s resting at home now.”Sophie let out a low whistle. “That is a huge favor you owe him. Actually, two. So what’s your plan to pay him back? You know people used to joke that if someone saved your life, you were supposed to marry them.”“Stop it,” Miranda said as she stirred her coffee. Her expression sharpened. “Leo is a very important friend to me. That’s all.”Sophie propped her chin on her hand, studying

    “Don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep an eye on the driver. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know,” Leo said gently. He added, “You should also ask Keith to arrange a few people to watch over your daily travel, just to be safe.”“Alright. I’ll have him bring in security,” Miranda agreed. It was better to be cautious than regret it later.For six days straight, Miranda visited Leo every morning and stayed until afternoon. On the seventh day, when she walked into the room, Leo was scheduled to be discharged. She opened the door and found Felix and Hayden already inside, the two of them in the middle of a conversation with Leo.When Miranda stepped in, the room fell silent. Felix’s eyes darkened almost imperceptibly as he looked at her.“Good morning, Miranda,” Hayden greeted.“Morning,” she replied.“We’re here to be with Leo when he gets discharged,” Hayden added.Miranda nodded and placed the breakfast she brought on the bedside table. She naturally walked to Leo’s side. “I’l

    Felix suddenly stood up and walked to the window. He stared at the blurred, rain-streaked world outside, his emotions impossible to read.“Felix,” Leo said quietly. “If you still care about her, then let her live her own life.”Felix did not answer right away. After a moment, he said in an even voice, “I haven’t interfered with anything she does.” He stood there for a few more seconds before turning around. His gaze was complicated. “Are you serious?”“I am,” Leo replied without hesitation.More than twenty years of friendship meant they could read each other easily.They held each other’s gaze for a moment before Felix nodded. “I’ll respect whatever she chooses.”He picked up the coat draped over the back of the chair and folded it over his arm. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come back in a couple of days.”At the doorway, Felix slowed his steps. “But this involves the safety of Mia’s mom. I’ll have my people look into the driver as well.”Leo was caught off guard, but before
