Chapter 489

Penulis: Baby X
“Miranda is bringing Mia to my house for dinner tonight. Now tell me, does that sound better than eating out?” Leo countered.

There was silence on Hayden’s end for a beat, followed by resignation. “Alright then. Another time.”

He hung up.

Back at the Lincoln estate, Miranda’s phone vibrated on the sofa. Mia noticed it and picked it up. It was Mrs. Young calling.

Mia answered cheerfully, “Hello, Mrs. Young.”

“Mia, why aren’t you and your mom home yet?”

“Mrs. Young, please don’t make dinner for us. We’re having dinner at Vivian’s house tonight.”

“Alright then. I understand,” Mrs. Young replied with a chuckle.

On the balcony, Haley had arranged fresh fruit and desserts and was chatting with Miranda about school and parenting.

Around six o’clock, the front door opened.

Leo stepped inside, slightly out of breath. His suit jacket was slung over his shoulder, and his tie was loosened. It was clear he had rushed home.

His gaze landed first on Mia, then shifted to Miranda sitting o

    Miranda paused for a moment, but it was not surprising that Leo knew about her plans. Several researchers from the Jenkins Lab had recently joined the team, so news traveled quickly.“Yes. I’ll be gone in three months,” she replied.“You deserve a break,” Leo wrote back.“Yeah. I just want to rest for a while.”“Alright. Then I’ll wait for the day you finally treat me to that meal you owe me.”Miranda suddenly remembered she actually owed him two meals. She really should make time to treat him.“Okay. How about tomorrow? I’m free in the morning,” she texted after checking her schedule.“Sounds good. I’ll message you tomorrow.”Miranda put her phone down. Ever since deciding to leave the lab, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She had barely rested at all this past year.The results of the new drug trial were promising. One leukemia patient in the early stages was already in complete remission. Reading the latest report gave Miranda a deep sense of relief.That night, K

    Miranda had expected Felix to fight her decision, but she never imagined he would go this far. Once she had made up her mind to leave, nothing he did and no one he sent to persuade her would change anything.“Dr. Liam, please let him know he is wasting his time. I am not accepting that offer,” Miranda said.There was a flicker of surprise in Samantha’s eyes. Felix had already given Miranda the biggest compromise he could. If she chose to take it, it would be the best possible outcome.“Miranda, do not rush to reject it,” Samantha said gently. “This arrangement only benefits you. Think about it. Even if you leave the lab, you would still receive the same level of support. That is an incredible opportunity.”Miranda sat quietly for a moment. Then she lifted her head. “Thank you for looking out for me.”“This is not only Felix’s idea. It is my advice as well,” Samantha added sincerely. “In research, resources and networks matter the most. It would be a shame to let personal conflict

    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.” Samantha turned to Fiona. “Fiona, you can step out for now.”A quiet heaviness hit Fiona’s chest. That one sentence made everything painfully clear. She knew exactly who mattered more in Samantha’s eyes.“Yes, Dr. Liam.” Fiona turned around with a polite expression, but her heart felt tight. Miranda stood calmly by the door, completely unfazed by Fiona’s hostility and resentment.Miranda had already guessed why Fiona rushed back to the lab so quickly. Fiona clearly wanted the independent PI title. And given Fiona’s connection to Felix, she had the best chance of getting it.Samantha looked at Miranda. “Did Felix come by earlier? He tried talking to you, didn’t he?”Miranda’s voice was

    After packing up, Fiona bit her lip hard. “Miranda, one way or another, I’m going to surpass you in this lifetime.”Miranda was not the only talent in the lab. There was still her.Later, when Samantha heard from her assistant that Felix had stopped by, she immediately understood he must have come to talk Miranda out of leaving. Samantha genuinely hoped she would stay. Personal conflicts aside, this lab was the best environment for research. And Felix could offer Miranda conditions that were unmatched anywhere in the country.The budget for the independent PI position had no upper limit. If Miranda wanted it, Felix would make it happen. Letting her leave now would be a tremendous loss.At two thirty in the afternoon, Fiona returned to her office at the research base. With a confident, determined smile, she knocked on Samantha’s door.“Come in.”“Dr. Liam,” Fiona said as she entered, “I’m back.” She had been one of Samantha’s students, and for a long time, the student Samantha v

    Miranda’s expression stayed cool. A flicker of indifference crossed her eyes. “Where I go and what I do is not something you get to approve.”Felix’s gaze darkened as he looked at her. “Miranda, don’t be impulsive. What I can give you is more than anyone else can offer.”Miranda let out a short, sharp breath of laughter. “What you want to give is your business. Whether I want it is mine.”Felix’s brows drew together. A complicated emotion flickered in his eyes. “Do you really hate me that much?”Hate? Miranda almost laughed. She had no time to hate him. Her time was far too valuable to waste even a minute on him.Her silence made Felix let out a quiet sigh. “You really decided to leave?”Miranda lifted her chin. Her gaze was clear and resolute. “Felix, I am not asking you. I am informing you.”“At least wait until the drug trial is complete,” Felix said. “It will take another three months.”Miranda exhaled slowly. Three months was still a long testing cycle. She understood that

    “I already told Dr. Liam my decision. There is nothing left for us to discuss.”Miranda finished stirring her coffee and walked toward her office.“Half an hour. I’m coming to find you,” Felix said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.Before she could respond, the call disconnected, leaving a busy signal in her ear.Annoyance rose sharply in her chest. His tone made it sound as if she were still the dependent Mrs. Gibson he used to control. She did not care whether he showed up or not. Once the current drug trial ended, she was leaving, and nothing would stop her.Meanwhile, at Samantha’s office, a young researcher knocked on the door.“Dr. Liam, may I come in for a moment?” Nina Xander asked.“Come in,” Samantha said. “What’s wrong?”“I overheard you on the phone last time. You mentioned establishing an independent PI for Miranda. I wanted to ask if I could join her team. My thesis work in university was in that same field. I am completely qualified and I can—”Samant
