Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1534
Felix took the jacket from her and draped it naturally over his arm. Then he picked up his iPad.“Let’s go check on James.”The two of them left the lounge one after the other.In the hallway, Gavin immediately stood up from the chair outside and stepped forward to take the iPad from Felix.James was awake too. He was reading through some documents, and he looked much better than before.“Miranda, you and Mr. Gibson should go handle your work,” James said. “You don’t need to stay here with me.”Miranda hesitated.Coco spoke up. “Miranda, go back to the lab. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on him. If anything happens, I’ll call you.”Felix said to Miranda, “I’ll drive you back to the lab.”Miranda had no choice but to nod.“Okay. James, I’ll head out first.”Then she turned to Coco. “Call me if anything happens.”After they left the hospital, Felix drove Miranda back to the lab himself.Once they arrived, Miranda changed into her lab coat and headed toward the research area,

Sunlight slipped through the half-drawn curtains, scattering small patches of light across the floor.Felix sat on the couch on the other side of the room, leaning back with an iPad in his hand. Global market data moved across the screen in real time, the red and green candlestick charts reflected faintly in his dark eyes.Every now and then, his fingers moved across the screen as he analyzed the numbers and made notes.But after a while, his attention drifted to Miranda sleeping nearby.Miranda hadn’t slept well the night before. On top of that, her period was due soon, and that always made her more tired than usual.Now, she was sleeping deeply.Her lashes rested quietly against her skin. Without her usual coolness and guarded expression, she looked softer than ever, peaceful and completely unguarded.Felix’s gaze gradually deepened.He forced himself to look back at the iPad screen.A little while later, Miranda shifted in her sleep. She turned from lying on her back to lyi

“It’s just a superficial flesh wound,” James said. “I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”Then he looked up at Felix.“Don’t worry, Mr. Gibson. It won’t affect next week’s product launch.”Miranda immediately turned to Felix.Was he seriously still expecting James to attend the launch after this?As if reading the accusation in her eyes, Felix gave her a slightly innocent look before turning back to James.“Your injury is serious. Don’t push yourself.”James immediately looked a little awkward.Only then did he realize what he had said had made Miranda misunderstand.He quickly explained, “Miranda, don’t get the wrong idea. Mr. Gibson isn’t forcing me. I’m the one who wants to go. Don’t blame him.”Miranda also realized she had overreacted.Given James’s personality and how much he cared about the project, he would definitely insist on attending the launch as long as his body allowed it. It was not something Felix could force him to do.A faint smile touched Felix’s eyes.

Miranda hadn’t expected him to admit it so openly.She looked at him for a few seconds.“It’s already happened,” she said. “What matters now is handling it properly and making sure something like this never happens again. As for Fiona, let the law deal with her.”At this point, there was no need to keep arguing over who was right or wrong.Fiona’s resentment toward her had run too deep for too long. Even if Felix hadn’t been the one to fire her, even if it had been James or someone else, Fiona probably still would have blamed Miranda for it.On top of that, Fiona’s family had gone bankrupt. Her father was in prison, and her mother’s credit had been ruined over unpaid debts. Her life had already hit rock bottom. Any small thing could have been enough to set her off.“Okay,” Felix said. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Eat first.”He picked up his fork and served her some food.Miranda paused.“I can get it myself,” she said softly.“I’ll arrange for a private nurse to come

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

“Thank you,” Miranda said with a smile, immediately taking a liking to her.The assistant started leading her to her seat but was suddenly called away by a phone call. As Miranda looked for her spot, she spotted Xena.Xena was chatting with two elegantly dressed women. Under the lights, the pink s

On the other end, Hayden shot back, “Why are you suddenly so interested in him?”“Jealous?” Xena replied lightly. “I just saw him sitting with Miranda and got curious.” As she spoke, she sent over another photo of Miranda seated beside Mike.“I don’t recognize him,” Hayden answered honestly.“The

“Didn’t we agree on no gifts?” Miranda teased with a helpless smile.“Some occasions call for a gift,” Mike replied. He gave a small nod and headed out.Once the door closed, Miranda remembered the bouquet he had brought. She reached inside and pulled out a tiny velvet box. When she opened it, the

Felix’s gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, but he did not answer right away.The dim wall lamp in the living room cast a dull yellow light across his features, carving his face into sharp, cold lines. The shadow of his lashes hid whatever emotion lay in his eyes, making it impossible to t
