Chapter 130

Author: Baby X
“Today I got a call from Miranda. On her way home, she was run off the road several times by a black SUV. It was extremely dangerous…”

Felix cut in with a pointed tone. “Dr. Moore, you seem awfully concerned about my wife.”

James straightened. “My concern is purely professional, as a colleague. Please don’t misunderstand.”

“As long as you know where the line is.”

James pressed on. “Mr. Gibson, this wasn’t an accident. Someone deliberately targeted her. You need to ensure her safety.”

Felix listened in silence as James laid everything out—the pollution case Miranda had exposed, the evidence that had forced the chemical plant to shut down, and the threatening calls she had received weeks earlier.

“Two weeks ago, they warned her over the phone. Now their retaliation has escalated. I trust you’ll do whatever it takes to protect your family.”

“Are you finished?” Felix asked coolly.

James hesitated. “Yes.”

Felix’s voice grew even colder. “It seems you know more about my wife’s affai

    Xena only smiled and said nothing.“Does my brother know about this?” Sienna pressed.“He knows,” Xena replied.Sienna scoffed. “Overestimating herself again. She actually thinks she’s some kind of genius? All she does is cause trouble for my brother.”*The next morning, Miranda sat at home finishing the assessment test. She submitted it before ten o’clock to Lucas, who would hand it over to the professors at the medical school for review. Only after their assessment would it be decided whether she could sit for the accelerated graduation exam.Miranda also texted Sophie’s senior from law school. “Mr. Stevens, have you returned to the country yet?”“Sorry, I’ll need two more days.”“Alright. Please let me know once you’re back. I’d like to meet with you,” Miranda replied.“Of course, Ms. Stone.”Exhaling softly, Miranda picked her books back up and continued studying.Just then, James texted her. “We won the M Village case. The chemical plant has been ordered to shut down a

    Miranda shot him a cool glance. “And if I am?”“Don’t push yourself too hard. Your health matters,” Felix said.He was certain she couldn’t do it. An accelerated graduation was impossible in his eyes.Miranda ignored him.Felix’s gaze shifted to the stacks of books piled high around her, the small desk light casting a shadow that seemed to swallow her slender frame whole. He didn’t even notice how much thinner she had become.Leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, he said evenly, “You don’t need to push yourself like this. Whatever you want, I can give you.”“What you can give isn’t what I want. And what I do want, you’ll never be able to give me,” Miranda said without even looking up.His expression flickered, but only for a moment. He checked his watch. “Don’t stay up past midnight.”“Was that supposed to be concern? No, it was just his usual domineering tone,” she thought.Miranda kept reading.*That night, Xena returned home. A maid came over with ointment

    Xena rested her chin in her hand and nodded sweetly. “Alright.“I just overheard my sister mention something. Did you know Miranda is planning to take an accelerated graduation exam? She wants to finish her undergraduate studies early,” Xena asked.Felix’s brow lifted slightly. “Is that so?”“I also heard Dr. Liam reorganized the team and left Miranda off the list. Felix, shouldn’t you ask her to be included? She is your wife, after all.”“It was at my request that Dr. Liam didn’t use her,” Felix replied.Xena paused. “Won’t that make her upset?”“She’s already upset with me for using her mother’s sample.”Xena’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I suppose she would be, considering it’s for…”“What are you two talking about?” a voice cut in. Hayden strolled over. Felix greeted him, and Hayden turned to Xena. “You’re alright? I saw the news earlier. Looked pretty scary.”“I’m fine. I never expected a fan to be that crazy. Just ended up with a bruised arm,” Xena said, lifting h

    Instead of coming over, Felix turned and walked straight out. A moment later, he texted Miranda, saying something urgent had come up and he had to leave.A few minutes later, Leo arrived, a little out of breath. “Sorry, the traffic was terrible.”Miranda gave him a small smile. “It’s fine. The girls were having fun together.”“Felix didn’t come?” Leo asked.“He left. Said he had something else to do,” Miranda replied.Leo studied her quietly, a flicker of sympathy in his eyes.At five-thirty, Miranda picked Mia up and headed home. On the way, Mia looked up at her and asked, “Where did Daddy go?”Miranda crouched down so they were eye-to-eye. “Sweetheart, can I ask you something?”Mia nodded seriously. “Go ahead, Mommy.”Miranda hesitated before speaking, her voice gentle but firm. “If one day Mommy and Daddy had to live apart, would you rather stay with Daddy or with me?”Mia froze for just a moment, then answered without hesitation. “With you, Mommy. I want to live with you.

    Just as Miranda turned the corner, she overheard Coco’s voice brimming with envy.“Fiona, I’m so jealous of you. Who would’ve thought Dr. Liam would take you on as her last protégé? With her backing, your future is set.”“My mentor has high expectations for me,” Fiona replied smugly. “With her guidance, I’ll advance so much faster.”Coco gave a little laugh. “And with Dr. Liam in charge, Miranda has no chance to slip in through the back door anymore. She’s already been cut out.”“People without ability always end up like this,” Fiona said mockingly. “There’s no place for weakness in science.”Miranda waited until their voices faded before stepping out of the hallway. She returned to her office, gathering her papers just as James stopped by to check on her. He had already reached out through his global connections, searching the international genetic database for a compatible donor sample.“If anything comes up, I’ll let you know right away,” James assured her.“Thank you,” Miran
