Chapter 217

Author: Baby X
After walking Miranda downstairs, Leo asked if she was heading home to pick up Mia. He wondered if she could also bring Vivian over for dinner since he was tied up for a while.

“Of course. You can pick her up at eight-thirty,” Miranda said readily.

Having the girls together made mealtimes livelier, and Mia always ate better with company.

At exactly eight-thirty, Leo arrived, gift in hand. The two girls sprawled on the floor, giggling as they shared the present. Meanwhile, Miranda invited Leo

    Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Felix walked in.He had clearly come straight from a meeting. He was still in a formal suit, and a trace of fatigue lingered between his brows.“Sorry I’m late.”After saying that, Felix walked to Miranda’s side, pulled out the chair naturally, and sat down. Gavin then went to ask the restaurant to start serving the food.Felix seemed to sense what they had been talking about. He glanced at Miranda and asked with a smile, “Were you talking about me?”Dr. Smith laughed it off.“Yes, we were talking about the lab. Miranda mentioned that she’d like to visit the lab in Danesia when she has the chance.”Felix looked at Miranda.“Before the New Year, we can take Mia there to see the snow. You can visit the lab your father used while we’re there.”Miranda froze.“My dad’s lab is still there?”Dr. Smith answered from the side, “It is. Everything has been preserved exactly as it was. There are still many notes Eugene left behind.”

    Miranda answered.“Hello?”“Are you done with work? I’m having dinner with Dr. Smith’s team tonight. Come join us.”Miranda thought for a moment.“Okay. Send me the restaurant address. I’ll come over.”To Miranda, Dr. Smith was both a mentor and a friend. More importantly, it was because of his years of accumulated research and exploration that she had found a chance to treat the blood disease at its root and eliminate the hidden risk of Mia developing it in the future.When Miranda got off work, Gavin arrived to pick her up.“Ms. Stone, Mr. Gibson was worried you’d be too tired after work, so he asked me to come get you,” Gavin said with a smile.Since he was already there, Miranda didn’t insist on driving herself.She had been overusing her eyes lately, and it really wasn’t ideal for her to drive, especially during rush hour.By the time Gavin brought her to the private dining room, Felix had been delayed by an important meeting and was still on his way.When Dr. Smith saw

    Time slipped by before anyone realized how late it had gotten.Miranda looked at Felix and said, “You should head back and get some rest.”“Mommy, I still want to play with Daddy.” Mia held on to Felix’s hand and refused to let him go.Felix crouched down in front of her.“Then how about Daddy takes you upstairs?”“Will you tell me a dinosaur story for a little while?” Mia immediately asked.Felix looked up at Miranda.After all, her bedroom was still her private space. Without her permission, he knew he shouldn’t stay there too long.“Take Mia to my room and read her the story there,” Miranda said. “I still have a little work to do.”She wasn’t refusing. She was trying to give Mia some of what she wanted too.Lately, Mia had asked several times for Felix to read her a bedtime story, but Miranda had turned her down each time.Tonight, she would let her have this one.“Yay! Daddy, let’s go!” Mia grabbed Felix’s hand and pulled him upstairs.Mrs. Young tidied up a little, th

    Miranda paused slightly.She had always kept her distance from the media.“I got it,” she said.Just then, she caught the bitter smell of herbs drifting from the kitchen. She turned to look, then glanced back at Felix.“Did you ask Mrs. Young to prepare the herbal tonic for you?”Felix smiled.“Yeah. I wanted to try it.”Miranda walked into the kitchen and took a look. She lifted the lid, smelled it, then returned to the living room.“It smells really bitter,” she said.She had never liked herbal tonics.“Bitter means it’s working,” Felix said, looking completely unfazed.Before long, Mia came rushing down the stairs in a cute bunny-print pajama set, her freshly dried hair bouncing as she threw herself into Felix’s arms like a little cannonball.“Daddy, I’m all clean and I smell good!”Felix laughed and caught her, then leaned down to smell the top of her head.“Mm. Very good.”Watching them, Miranda suddenly thought of how adorable Mia had been when she was just over a

    Sophie gave her a mischievous smile.“Who knows? Maybe after a few drinks at the party, you and Felix can go home and work on that hormonal balance.”“Sophie!”Miranda’s face flushed again from her teasing.After lunch, Miranda returned to the lab.That afternoon, she took Adrian to Zion’s lab for a research exchange. They stayed busy until eight that night before Miranda finally drove home.She had already told Mrs. Young not to make dinner for her. She had eaten at the lab cafeteria.Felix had also called earlier to tell her he was taking Mia to the Gibson estate for dinner and would be home later.As soon as Miranda got home, Mrs. Young said, “Mr. Gibson took Mia to the Gibson estate.”“Mm. I know,” Miranda replied, then went upstairs.Mrs. Young stood there for a moment, wondering if she should take the night off and come back early the next morning.Around nine, there was movement from the garage. Gigi immediately wagged her tail and ran over to greet them.When Mrs. Y

    The next morning, Miranda handed Mia over to Felix and went straight to the lab.At noon, Sophie happened to be running errands nearby, so the two of them met up for lunch.After some girl talk, Sophie started complaining that her child had recently been sick. After several nights of staying up, her sleep schedule was completely wrecked.“Having a kid really takes everything out of you,” Sophie complained.Miranda understood that feeling all too well.Motherhood had a way of stretching even a single day apart into something unbearably long. One small sign of illness was enough to set every nerve on edge.“It’ll get better when they’re a little older,” Miranda comforted her.Sophie propped her chin on her hand and looked up at her.“I’m about to make a doctor’s appointment. My cycle has been all over the place lately. Staying up late has completely thrown it off.”At that, Miranda added, “I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately too. Mine is a week late, but I’m not planning to

    People in the hallway began to whisper.“So that’s Mr. Gibson’s future mother-in-law,” someone murmured. “No wonder she dares to storm in here and cause trouble.”At the mention of Felix’s name, Miranda’s expression darkened. She gave a cold laugh. “Perfect. Then why don’t you have Felix come talk

    Miranda’s eyes drifted instinctively toward Felix who was sitting across the restaurant. He was talking casually with his guests, but as if sensing her gaze, he turned in her direction. The moment their eyes met, Miranda looked away.After lunch, Mike drove Mrs. Lloyd Sr. home. As they reached the

    “Sienna, I won't be coming over,” Xena said over the phone. “Have a wonderful time with your family.”“But—”“Don’t worry. I won’t give Miranda a chance to get close to Felix. Believe it or not, one call from me, and he’ll be gone in under three minutes.”With that, Xena hung up.Sienna frowned,

    Miranda jingled her car keys as she searched for her vehicle. Under the dim light of the overpass, a white Porsche Cayenne blinked its hazard lights in response.Mike walked around to the passenger side and got in. His long legs looked a bit awkward in the confined space, so he adjusted the seat un
