Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1530
The look in Felix’s eyes when he had stubbornly asked her about that glass of water surfaced in her mind again.For a moment, Miranda’s feelings became even more complicated.At seven o’clock, James was still asleep.Miranda heard the door open and thought it was a nurse coming in.When she turned around, she saw Felix walk in instead.He was carrying a bag of takeout containers in one hand and a clothing bag in the other.“What are you doing here?” Miranda asked softly, surprised.“I brought you clean clothes,” Felix said. “Go take a shower in the bathroom next door and change.”After saying that, he glanced at the bloodstains on her sleeve.Miranda didn’t really mind, but since he had already brought the clothes, she went next door to change.Only when she opened the bag did she realize there was not just a change of clothes inside. There were also undergarments and a bath towel.Then she remembered that he had told her to shower before changing.Looking at the undergarme

Miranda stood there, her feelings complicated.She knew Felix meant well, but…“Miranda, I bought James some fruit. Is he awake?” Coco’s voice sounded behind her.“He’s awake,” Miranda said with a nod. “Go in and see him.”When they returned to the hospital room, James was sitting propped up against the pillows.Seeing them come in, he looked at Miranda and asked, “Did Mr. Gibson leave?”“He had work to handle,” Miranda answered casually.Then she asked with concern, “Does your wound still hurt?”“The anesthesia hasn’t fully worn off yet, so it doesn’t hurt,” James said, shaking his head.Coco was still angry.“Fiona went way too far this time. Does this count as attempted murder? If it weren’t for you, Miranda would have…”Before she could finish, she saw James look over at her.Coco immediately stopped herself.James’s gaze turned colder.“What Fiona did was attempted murder.”He was usually gentle and composed, but the moment Fiona was mentioned, there was only anger

Felix comforted her in a low voice. “Don’t worry. He’ll be okay.”Miranda nodded.She looked at James’s wound. If Fiona’s fork had gone just a little lower, she didn’t dare imagine what might have happened.Her eyes grew wet again. She pressed her lips together, tears gathering in her eyes.Seeing that, Felix reached for another tissue and handed it to her.Miranda took it and dabbed at the corners of her eyes.Just then, James opened his eyes.The anesthesia was probably starting to wear off. He blinked a few times before his gaze finally focused on Miranda’s face.Seeing the concern in her eyes, he moved his pale lips. His voice was hoarse from thirst.“I’m okay…”Then his gaze shifted to Felix, who was standing at the foot of the bed.He looked a little surprised.“Mr. Gibson, you’re here too.”James tried to prop himself up.Under his hospital gown, his chest was wrapped in thick layers of gauze. Fortunately, the fork hadn’t been sharp enough to cause a deeper wound.

Seeing Miranda cry, James quickly tried to comfort her.“I’m okay. I’m really okay.”“Don’t talk,” Miranda said, forcing back her tears as she tried to stay calm. “Save your strength.”Beside her, Coco had already called the police.Fiona sat weakly on the floor.She looked up at the man she had secretly loved for three whole years. Now, because of her, he was covered in blood.For a moment, the world seemed to spin around her.It felt as if that fork had stabbed straight through her own heart too, leaving her in so much pain she could barely breathe.“James… James, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”She instinctively tried to crawl toward him, but Coco reached out and blocked her.“You still have the nerve to call his name? You have no right to go near him.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t want to hurt you.”Fiona covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably as overwhelming regret swallowed her whole.Just then, security arrived after hearing the commotion and immediatel

Miranda turned and gave her a cold look.“If you have something to say, say it.”“I got fired because you said something to Mr. Gibson, didn’t you?” Fiona’s voice sharpened. The hatred on her face had clearly been building for a long time. “Miranda, you really are pathetic. You’re using your ex-husband’s power to bully Gibson Corporation employees now? Does that make you feel good?”“Fiona,” Miranda said coldly, “watch what you say. If you have an issue with the decision, you can file a formal appeal.”“Would that even help?” Fiona’s eyes were filled with pain and resentment. “The entire Gibson Corporation belongs to your ex-husband. If Felix wants me gone, he can come up with any excuse he wants.”She stared at Miranda with hatred.“Stop pretending. Everyone knows you’re clinging to Felix again. You want to use your daughter to get back into his life, don’t you? What, are you trying to settle a personal grudge now? I’m already out of your way, but you still won’t leave me alone?

The next morning, Mia was in a low mood.She didn’t want to go home. She still wanted to keep playing.So the three adults took turns coaxing her.It wasn’t until they boarded the plane and promised that she could go back to see her pony that Mia finally agreed to go home, and her mood improved.Three hours later, Miranda returned home.Mia was brought back to the Gibson estate.After the trip, Miranda felt as if her mind had been completely cleared. When she threw herself back into work, even that felt a little easier.On Monday, Miranda plunged straight back into work.While Felix handled his own business, he also kept an eye on the renovation company. This time, they were not only renovating the two townhouses for him and Miranda, but also another larger villa in the same gated community for the Gibson family to use.Early Wednesday morning, Miranda received a message from James.He asked her to meet him at the cafeteria at noon because he had something work-related to dis

“Alright,” Miranda replied.At that moment, the private room door opened. Felix stepped out holding Mia’s hand. When he saw how relaxed and cheerful Miranda looked on the phone, his gaze swept over her with a chill. So this was her big “work trip.” She seemed to be busy dating too.“Mommy, my ha

The two girls exchanged a look, frozen in embarrassment. Their faces flushed a deep red. “Oh sorry. We misunderstood.”Mike nodded politely and glanced out the window. The prettier girl backed away awkwardly and whispered to her friend, “So he is into a single mom.”They finished their food quickl

The next day at one in the afternoon, Miranda was in her office organizing data reports when a nurse knocked on her door.“Dr. Stone, Dr. Zimmer would like you to attend a meeting upstairs.”Miranda nodded. “Alright, I’ll be there right away.”Although Miranda was technically a researcher, people

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Samantha said, “Come in,” and Miranda walked in with a stack of files in her arms.Fiona’s gaze snapped toward her, jealousy sparking visibly in her eyes.Miranda froze for a moment when she saw her. “Dr. Liam, I’ll come back later.”“No, Miranda, come in.”
