Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1018
“I only made things harder for you,” Susan said through tears, her heart aching. “If it weren’t for this useless illness of mine, you wouldn’t have had to carry so much.”“Mom, don’t say that. Things will get better,” Felix said, still trying to comfort her.Susan was full of guilt and helplessness. More than anything, she wished Felix could live a lighter, easier life.But there was nothing she could do.Felix stayed a while longer, talking with Susan and helping her calm down. Once her emotions had settled a little, he finally got up and left.When Miranda came out of the lab, she went back to her office and sat down to review the data. Just then, a nurse knocked and said, “Dr. Stone, someone is here to see you.”Miranda looked up and saw a woman walking in with her purse in hand.It was Xena.Miranda didn’t look surprised, almost as if she had expected her.“What is it?” Miranda looked up at her.“I want to talk.” Xena folded her arms, still carrying herself with that same

So even if she and Miranda crossed paths again someday, Miranda wouldn’t be able to do a thing to her. If anything, she might end up doing exactly what Felix had done and beg her.The thought made Xena almost eager for the day she could finally sit down and talk to Miranda face to face.Just then, another wave of dizziness hit her. Xena clutched her head and struggled through a few painful breaths. She glanced at the clock. It was already three in the morning.For the past few days, she had been miserable enough to lose sleep completely. Even her sleeping pills had gone up in dosage. She walked into the master bedroom, opened the bottle, swallowed two pills, and only then got into bed.*The next morning, Miranda took Mia to school. After watching Mia walk into the building, she got back in the car and drove to the lab.When she arrived, Felix wasn’t there yet.Dr. Smith walked over and said, “Mr. Gibson went to see Mrs. Gibson. He’ll be here soon. Dr. Stone, get the materials r

From that point on, she got to live the luxurious life she had always dreamed of. She enjoyed the vanity that Felix’s money bought her, and she enjoyed the six months out of every year when she could pretend, for a little while, that she had him.She entered his world. She met his friends. She showed up beside him at different events as his companion.She knew that if enough time passed, the distance between Felix and Miranda would only grow wider.And when that happened, she would have her chance.The year Felix’s daughter was born, Xena lived through almost constant pain. But that same year, she learned something else.Susan’s illness might be hereditary.And that made Xena even more important to Felix.Her leverage had grown.She accepted the parts of reality she couldn’t change and kept adjusting her plans. When Felix brought Mia overseas, she played the role of the caring aunt. When Felix wasn’t in Danesia, she kept getting close to Susan and the rest of the Gibson family,

Xena had secretly sold her blood a few times before, just to afford a pair of shoes her mother refused to buy her. She never expected that this would lead a laboratory to track her down, offering an astronomical sum for her to become a regular donor.At first, she refused. She wasn't about to gamble with her life. After turning down Dr. Smith’s lucrative offer, she dashed out of his office, only to collide head-on with someone in the hallway.The moment she looked up, clutching her bruised shoulder, she froze. She could clearly hear the frantic, violent thumping of her own heart.A twenty-year-old Felix reached out to steady her with polite detachment. “My apologies,” he murmured, his voice low and distant, before turning to enter the office she had just left.Xena had been about to leave when she overheard Felix talking to Dr. Smith. That was when she learned that the person who desperately needed her blood was his mother.In that instant, a wild, reckless thought took hold i

On the other end, Dr. Smith’s voice shook with excitement. “This is incredible, Dr. Stone. This is a major breakthrough. It means we’ve finally broken free from relying on a single donor.”“Yes, and the results are even better,” Miranda said. There was a lightness in her voice now, the kind that came with real relief and happiness.Dr. Smith was thrilled too. He had spent years building this lab and pouring his life into the research, yet in the end, it was Miranda who had produced the most remarkable result of all. The answer had been there all along. He just hadn’t been able to find it. Miranda had.“I’m going to organize the data right away and give Mr. Gibson an update,” Dr. Smith said, eager to move.Miranda thought of how tired Felix had looked when he left, and of those bloodshot eyes. If Dr. Smith told him now, it would only keep him awake. He would be too worked up to rest.“Dr. Smith, let’s wait until tomorrow,” Miranda said.Dr. Smith immediately understood. “Right. He

“Okay, Mommy. Daddy will stay with me,” Mia said with a sensible nod.Miranda turned and walked away. Right now, she needed a little space to sort through the tangle of thoughts in her head.Felix ran a hand through his thick hair. It wasn’t that he cared all that much about his appearance, but seeing gray show up in his hair this early still caught him off guard.“Daddy, why did your hair suddenly turn gray?” Mia asked innocently.“Probably because Daddy’s been thinking too much lately,” Felix said lightly.“Daddy, no matter what, I still love you,” Mia declared loudly.Her sweet, innocent words hit him right in the heart. Felix crouched down and kissed her on the cheek. “You really are the best little girl.”Just then, Mrs. Young came out carrying a bowl of soup. The moment she saw Felix under the light, she froze for several seconds. She didn’t say anything, but a wave of heartache rose in her before she turned and went back into the kitchen.Mia ran off to play. Felix stood

Miranda was in an exceptionally good mood, and Leo was too. He was careful not to place any pressure on her, doing his best to preserve the light, easy atmosphere between them.Meanwhile, whenever he took photos of the children, he deliberately framed Miranda in the shots. Through the lens, Miranda

A short while later, the same server from earlier brought Miranda a glass of lemon water. She glanced at it but didn’t take it.Throughout the entire meal, Miranda never touched the water. Felix clearly noticed this as well, though there was no emotion visible on his face.When it was time to retu

Mike lingered where he was, watching Miranda until she disappeared from sight.A staff member beside Felix lowered his voice. “Mr. Gibson, we can proceed with boarding now.”Only after Mike finally turned and left did Felix withdraw his gaze. His expression was blank as he gave a slight nod.Mira

At this moment, Mike was openly presenting himself as Miranda’s boyfriend. He couldn’t see her expression, but she didn’t object. That alone felt like tacit consent.Felix was seated by the window, in the same row as Miranda. His gaze drifted in their direction, dark and unreadable.After sitting
