Chapter 244

Author: Baby X
It was Leo who had asked the front desk to put his room right next to Miranda’s.

“Have you eaten yet?” Leo asked.

Miranda shook her head. “I was going to put my things away and then grab something at the restaurant.”

“Mind if I join you?” he asked. He had not eaten either.

The hotel buffet ran until nine.

“Sure,” Miranda said. She did not mind. She dropped off her laptop in her room, then came back out, walking with Leo toward the elevators.

When the doors opened on the third floor, a couple stood waiting inside.

It was Felix and Xena.

Miranda’s expression chilled. Leo caught the change in her face from the corner of his eye. He said to Felix, “Why don’t you two go first? We’ll wait.”

Felix’s face was tight as well. His gaze swept over Miranda and Leo, then lingered on Miranda with an unreadable look.

Xena offered a gentle smile. “Leo, Miranda. What a coincidence.”

The doors slid shut, cutting off the view.

Leo’s voice was low. “Want to take the stairs instead? The restaura

    Talking with Dr. Smith had been incredibly rewarding for Miranda, and it wasn’t until after twelve-thirty that she finally headed to the cafeteria.When she sat down to eat with Dr. Smith, Fiona and Xena were already there. Fiona noticed Miranda already deep in conversation with Dr. Smith, and a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.How did Miranda even get the connections to meet Dr. Smith so quickly? So many people had been hoping for a chance to discuss research with him today. Fiona had been hoping for her turn as well.Xena noticed Fiona’s distracted look and leaned closer to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Tonight I’ll have Felix arrange for you to meet Dr. Smith.”“Really?” Fiona’s face lit up in surprise.Xena arched a brow and smiled. “Of course. I know Dr. Smith too, and we’re quite familiar. His lab is actually one of Felix’s investments.”Fiona stared at her, dumbfounded. Just how many medical labs around the world had Felix Gibson invested in? How rich was he, exactly?Wit

    Miranda trusted Leo’s character enough to let him in. After she closed the door behind them, he turned and looked at her intently. His voice was low. “Miranda, the truth is, I’ve always—”“Mr. Lincoln.” She cut him off. “I don’t want to talk about personal matters right now.”Leo gave a wry smile. “I understand. I got ahead of myself.”A cool draft slipped in through the window. Just then, Miranda’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from James.“Tomorrow at ten a.m., Dr. Smith has specifically requested a private meeting with you in the conference room on the top floor.”She blinked in surprise before quickly replying, “All right, I’ll be there on time.”“What is it?” Leo asked, noticing the change in her expression.“I’ve been asked to meet with someone tomorrow,” Miranda said with a faint smile.Leo’s eyes softened with approval. “It looks like your research has caught the attention of the international medical community. That’s a very good sign.”He

    That evening, Miranda finished a paper and submitted it to an international medical journal. Her discovery immediately sparked discussion across the medical community.Before long, foreign media outlets began quoting her work. At the same time, preparations were nearly complete for an international medical summit hosted in Atlantis City that weekend.One of the most anticipated guests on the roster was a Nobel Prize–winning doctor who would also be presenting his views. The event promised to be a landmark gathering in medicine, one that no leading expert would miss. Miranda was naturally looking forward to it.On Friday, she received a call from Mrs. Gibson Sr., who said she wanted to see Mia and asked Miranda to bring her over for the weekend. Miranda agreed, since the summit was being held two hundred kilometers away at a seaside villa resort and the round trip would be quite time-consuming and exhausting.After dropping Mia off at the Gibson estate, Miranda sat with Mrs. Gibson

    Miranda looked at them calmly. “I have nothing to hide.”“Then tell us,” Fiona pressed, her tone sharp. “Is your current line of research and innovation truly your own, or is it based on your father’s ideas?”She added with a mocking lilt, “Dr. Eugene Stone’s research back then was quite forward-thinking too. You really have deep family roots in the field of gene editing.”Miranda’s fingers tightened slightly. Fiona had really gone to great lengths just to undermine her.Samantha finally spoke up. “Fiona, this isn’t the time for that.”“Dr. Liam, I’m not trying to single Miranda out,” Fiona said with a smile. “We just want to understand her research path. Maybe we can learn something too.”Victor leaned back, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Yes, we’re all curious about what makes Miranda so successful. Why not share a little? After all, not everyone gets the privilege of having a father who was an academician.”Miranda stayed calm. “Science has always been about standing on the

    Just then, Miranda’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw it was James. She answered at once. “Hello, James.”“Mira, I sent the files you asked for. Check your email,” he said.“Got it. Thank you,” she replied.Then, turning toward the man behind her, Miranda said evenly, “You should leave. Don’t interfere in my life again.”Felix’s eyes were as dark as ink. So any other man could show up in her life, but not him? He turned and walked away.Miranda did not relax until she heard him finish speaking with Mia and the sound of the gate closing behind him. Only then did she finally let out a breath of relief.The next morning, after dropping Mia off at school, she headed straight to the lab. Her recent breakthrough still needed repeated testing. The work was tedious and exhausting, but to her, every bit of it was worth the effort.Around noon, Fiona happened to run into Adrian. Normally, she would never bother to approach him first. But today, she made the effort.“Adrian
