Chapter 500

Author: Baby X
Mrs. Gibson Sr. took off her reading glasses and said firmly, “Sienna, you are not a child anymore. You can’t take every word people say as the truth. You need to learn to use your own judgment.”

Sienna’s cheeks flushed red. “But… but Xena said—”

Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s brows tightened. “I think it would be wise for you to spend less time with Xena. Her intentions are not good.”

Sienna clearly disagreed. “Grandma, you only say that because you like Miranda. You cannot just accuse Xena of being mani

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1644

    For the rest of the day, Felix was busy.Miranda didn’t go over to his place and disturb him.It wasn’t until around ten that night that she received a text from him. He said he wouldn’t be coming back to the villa tonight and would be staying at the Gibson estate.Miranda stared at the message, her emotions complicated.Mia had already fallen asleep, but Miranda couldn’t sleep.Tomorrow was Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s funeral.Memories of Mrs. Gibson Sr. kept coming back to her. Mrs. Gibson Sr. had always been kind and accepting. She had never blamed Miranda, nor had she ever spoken a harsh word to her.Then Miranda thought about how peacefully Mrs. Gibson Sr. had passed, without much pain.That had been Felix’s decision too. He had chosen not to put his grandmother through unnecessary suffering. He had allowed her to pass naturally, with dignity.As for Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s final wish…Miranda’s eyes flickered in the dark.A clear, firm thought slowly rose in her heart.With Felix’s s

    Felix crouched down in front of Mia and looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and a deep, quiet love.“How was school? Do you have homework?”“Yeah. I can handle it,” Mia said with a nod.She seemed more sensible by the day.Mrs. Young walked over and asked, “Sir, should I make you something simple to eat?”Felix nodded.“Yes. Thank you.”Miranda didn’t come downstairs.She let Felix spend some time with Mia, and let Mia keep him company too. Right now, he needed something to hold on to, and his daughter was probably the strongest reason he had to keep looking forward.Mrs. Young soon brought over a bowl of pasta, and Felix ate a little while keeping Mia company.At ten, Felix took Mia upstairs and helped her get ready for bed.“Daddy, can you tell me a story?” Mia asked softly.Felix looked at Miranda.Miranda nodded.“Stay with her for a while.”Miranda left Felix in the primary bedroom with Mia and went to sit in the study for a bit.At ten twenty, it was ti

    When Miranda got home, it wasn’t yet time to pick Mia up from school.She went into the study and sat on the couch in a daze, thinking about the past and worrying about how the Gibson family was holding up.That afternoon, after picking Mia up, Miranda did her best to keep her emotions under control.Mia was still young.Miranda would let Felix come home and tell her what had happened.The next morning, after dropping Mia off at school, Miranda didn’t go to the lab. She sat on the couch with her phone in hand, thinking about calling Felix to ask if there was anything she could help with.But then she thought of Felix.With him there, they probably didn’t need her.Around two thirty that afternoon, Miranda was talking to Mrs. Young about what had happened at the Gibson estate. Mrs. Young also felt that everything had happened too suddenly.Just then, they heard a car outside.Mrs. Young immediately stood and looked toward the garage.“Ma’am, I think Mr. Gibson is back.”Mira

    Miranda stiffened.She looked at the man holding her.Felix had always seemed so strong, as if there was nothing in the world he couldn’t handle.But now, he looked helpless, almost like a child.Miranda’s heart ached with him.She was grieving too, but death was the one thing no one could fight.All she could do was give him a shoulder to lean on when he needed it.Then she felt a faint warmth soak into the fabric at her shoulder.His tears.Miranda slowly raised her hand and gently patted his back, trying to comfort him.“Grandma’s leaving us,” he said softly.His voice was very low, but the grief in it was unbearable.The sorrow Miranda had been holding back broke loose too. Her tears fell silently.Just then, Susan opened the door and stepped out, her eyes red.“Come in.”Miranda and Felix followed her into the room.The first thing they heard was Sienna’s broken sobs.On the hospital bed, Mrs. Gibson Sr. lay peacefully, as if she had simply fallen asleep.Only sh

    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,

    “How could I miss such an important event?” Leo said with a smile. “Looking for a seat? Sit with me.”Miranda nodded, and they eventually settled in the third row. Leo turned to her with a faint grin. “I thought you’d be the one giving the presentation today.”Miranda unscrewed her water bottle

    Miranda understood why Leo was apologizing. She offered a small smile. “It’s fine.”Her calm expression only made Leo feel guiltier. Even he had to admit he had crossed a line today.“I should get going. You head back,” Miranda said. She opened the car door and got in.Leo leaned down slightly. “

    After lunch, Mike drove them home, and soon it was time to say goodbye again.“I have to head back to the base. The next time we see each other might be in November,” Mike said with a smile.“Goodbye, Uncle Mike!” Mia waved her hand.Mike crouched down, gently ruffling her hair. “Remember to eat

    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
