Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1640
Susan sighed and tried to comfort her.“Mom, don’t think so far ahead. Mia is enough for this family. Felix and Miranda will raise her well.”For a brief moment, Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s eyes seemed to clear.Then she closed them.“Forget it, then. Don’t push them. I just hope those two can find their way back to each other.”Seeing that Mrs. Gibson Sr. had finally let go of that worry, Susan said softly, “Mom, you can rest easy. As long as Felix is here, this family will be all right.”At the mention of Felix, Mrs. Gibson Sr. felt a quiet flicker of pride.He had always been the pride of the Gibson family.But more than anything, her heart ached for him.His father had died too young, leaving Felix to shoulder the entire family on his own. All these years, he had barely had a single easy day.Outside the hospital room, the hallway was quiet.Miranda leaned against the wall, but Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s words still struck her heart like a stone.It would be even better if it were a boy.

That night, after Mia fell asleep, Miranda found herself unable to sleep.She didn’t even dare tell Mia about Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s condition.Mia was still so young. She didn’t yet understand the weight of aging, illness, and death.The next morning, Miranda dropped Mia off at school. She wanted to go to the hospital, but Felix told her she didn’t need to come.It wasn’t until the afternoon of the third day, while Miranda was at the lab, that she received a call from Sienna.“Miranda, can you come to the hospital?” Sienna was clearly trying to hold herself together. “Grandma said she has something she wants to tell you.”Then, at the end, Sienna suddenly broke down and started crying.“Grandma… Grandma doesn’t have much time left.”Miranda’s breath caught.For a few seconds, her mind went completely blank.At the same time, Adrian also received a call.It was from Felix, asking him to drive Miranda to the hospital. Felix was worried about letting her drive herself.“All right,

Felix had lost his father, and with that loss came responsibilities he could never put down.Susan was living with a genetic condition, and Sienna and Mia might have inherited the same risk.On top of that, he carried enormous pressure at work.He had to keep making money, keep planning every move, and never allow himself to truly relax. Even if it meant taking risks in the market, he still had to earn enough to hold everything together.And now, Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s illness had pulled every nerve in him tight all over again.Felix never seemed to like showing weakness in front of others. He always presented himself as strong, steady, and reliable.But today, in this moment, Miranda saw his real exhaustion and vulnerability.Half an hour passed.Miranda’s shoulder was starting to go numb, but she didn’t move.Even in his sleep, Felix’s brows remained slightly furrowed, as if he wasn’t resting peacefully.Almost without thinking, Miranda raised her hand and lightly brushed her fi

After a while, Mrs. Gibson Sr. woke up.When she saw Felix, Sienna, and Miranda by her bedside, she tried to smile.“You’re all here. I’m fine. I’m just getting old. My body isn’t what it used to be.”“Grandma…”Sienna crouched beside the bed and took Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s hand. She was the first to break down, tears spilling over.Miranda’s eyes stung too.Felix sat down by the bed and held Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s thin, frail hand. His voice was a little hoarse.“Grandma, just listen to the doctors and get some rest. You’ll be all right.”“Silly boy. Growing old, getting sick, and leaving this world are all part of life.”In the end, Mrs. Gibson Sr. was the one comforting him. Her gaze moved to Miranda and Susan.“All right, now. Don’t look so sad. I’m not leaving yet.”But her calm acceptance only made everyone’s hearts ache even more.“Grandma, the doctor said you just need to rest and recover. You’ll be discharged soon,” Miranda said gently as she stepped forward.“All right. I’

In the middle of the night, Miranda was drifting in and out of sleep when she thought she heard a car outside.But she wasn’t sure if it had been real or part of a dream.The next morning, Mia washed up, got dressed, and went downstairs first. After Miranda finished getting ready and came down, she heard Mia talking to Mrs. Young.“Mrs. Young, where’s Daddy? Why isn’t he home?”“Your father had something to take care of early this morning,” Mrs. Young replied.Miranda walked downstairs and asked, “Did he leave early this morning?”Mrs. Young turned around.“No. Mr. Gibson left in the middle of the night. Around two, I think. I got up and checked the time.”Miranda frowned.So she hadn’t been dreaming last night.Felix really had gone out in the middle of the night.“Mia, I’ll take you to school. Come on.”Mia nodded and followed her out.The school was only five minutes away. After dropping Mia off, Miranda was just about to drive to the lab when her phone rang.It was Fe

For a moment, Miranda didn’t know how to refuse. She was afraid of hurting Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s feelings.“Grandma, lunch is ready. Let me help you out,” Miranda said.Mrs. Gibson Sr. suddenly took a breath, as if she was a little tired. She sat down on the sofa and said, “You go ahead. I’ll sit here a little longer.”Miranda wanted to stay with her, but Mrs. Gibson Sr. waved her off with a smile.“Go on. I just want to look at my favorite pieces for a little while longer.”Miranda did not disturb her after that.She stepped out of the collection room and gently closed the heavy wooden door behind her. Still, a sense of unease lingered in her chest.Why did it feel as if Mrs. Gibson Sr. had been saying goodbye?Or was Miranda overthinking it?When Miranda reached the dining room, Felix and Susan were talking about something, while Mia played nearby.“Grandma hasn’t come out yet?” Felix asked her gently.“She said she wanted to stay in the collection room for a little longer, so

Miranda replied, “He is in a rush to get their patents.”Sophie blinked. “Wait. Are you saying those patents are for your lab?”“Yes.”“No wonder he caved. So he is doing all this to save his precious sweetheart.” Sophie snorted, then moved on.*At Leo’s apartment, Haley walked in holding Vivi

Coco finally revealed the answer. “Xena is here too. I saw her talking with Fiona earlier.”Miranda thought for a moment. It did not surprise her. If her research might save Xena’s life, attending the presentation made sense.“Let her be. Today’s presentation is open to the public.” Miranda went b

Even someone like Leo, who could have any woman he wanted, was now circling around a divorced woman like Miranda. It made no sense.That evening, Mia was going to the Gibson estate for dinner, so Miranda decided to meet Sophie for a meal after work. She needed a break from research and from life in

At the Gibson estate, Sienna had just returned from a week-long trip abroad. She had been in a bad mood recently and decided to escape to another country for a while.The driver brought her luggage into the living room, and a housekeeper stepped in to help unpack. Sienna dropped onto the sofa with
