Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1662
At the hospital, Zoe was temporarily out of danger after emergency treatment.But the entire left side of her body had lost mobility. One side of her mouth drooped, her speech was slurred, and she had lost control of her bladder and bowels.The doctor told Xena seriously that these were typical aftereffects of a stroke.Partial paralysis.The diagnosis hit Xena like a sledgehammer.Her vision went dark for a moment, and she nearly lost her balance.Her own life was already terrible enough. If she now had to care for a bedridden mother who needed round-the-clock help, it would be nothing short of hell.She couldn’t imagine how she was supposed to live like that.The two middle-aged women who had been playing cards with Zoe didn’t know how to comfort Xena either. After a few awkward words, they quickly found an excuse to leave.“Ms. Spencer, please go settle the payment,” a nurse said. “Your mother will need to stay in the hospital for further treatment and monitoring.”Money.

Each of those reports felt like another small knife, cutting into her again and again.As for her life now, she had almost no income left. She was surviving by selling off the things she still owned.Fortunately, the jewelry Hayden had given her over the years could still be resold, but secondhand jewelry lost a lot of value.Still, she had to think about the long years ahead. She couldn’t afford to spend everything at once.The curtains were drawn tightly shut. The apartment carried a faint smell of disinfectant and medicine.Xena was curled up on the couch, wrapped in a cashmere shawl. Her face was pale, her complexion dull. The bright, glamorous woman she used to be was gone.At that moment, she was scrolling through news from back home when a new article suddenly appeared.The media had snapped a photo of Felix at the airport.In the photo, he was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. His profile lo

The next second, Felix gently caught her chin between his fingers and tilted her face up.Then he lowered his head and kissed her.His lips pressed firmly against hers, carrying a force that left no room for escape and a longing he had held back for far too long.“Mmph…”Miranda’s protest was swallowed by the kiss.It was a forceful kiss, almost overwhelming.He kissed her deeply, drawing her in, refusing to let her retreat. There was a hunger in him that bordered on greed, as if he wanted to pour all the longing of the past few years into this one moment.For a few seconds, Miranda’s mind went blank.His familiar scent surrounded her completely. His arms were strong and hot around her, and his kiss was both dominant and achingly tender.As if it could melt everything.Miranda wasn’t made of stone.She was simply good at suppressing her desires and burying herself in work to distract from them.But now, deep in the night, reason seemed to slip out of reach, leaving only ins

The two of them talked for a while about work and everyday life.Sophie seemed to have something on her mind, but since Miranda barely mentioned Felix, she decided not to bring it up.Around nine that night, Mia came home.Mrs. Young quickly gave her a bath, and Miranda took her upstairs to bed. Since Mia had school the next day, Miranda couldn’t let her stay up too late.Having a child had made Miranda much stricter about bedtime.Before ten o’clock, Mia was already asleep.Miranda, however, was still wide awake.She couldn’t help thinking about Felix’s condition. She didn’t know if he had seen a doctor. It wouldn’t be good if he kept dragging out a low fever either.Miranda picked up her phone and texted him.“Do you still have a fever?”Felix replied quickly.“Still a low fever. Do you have medicine?”“I do. I’ll bring you a box. Take two pills,” Miranda replied.“Thank you,” Felix answered politely.Miranda had also asked Adrian to check on the equipment delivery. It

Felix’s words made Miranda stop.She frowned and looked at him.“What do you mean?”Felix looked back at her. Behind the lenses, his eyes were deep, with a faint, sly smile in them.“The Chamber has been pushing a major research-support initiative lately. Your work fits the criteria perfectly, and equipment purchases are included in the budget. All I did was say a few words and connect the right people.”In other words, the Chamber was paying for it.It had nothing to do with him.To him, it was nothing more than making a quick introduction.Miranda’s frown deepened.Her voice turned serious.“You don’t have to do this. I know you’re helping me, but I don’t want you getting into trouble either. Given our relationship, this is too sensitive.”After all, it was Chamber money being used to support his ex-wife’s research.People could easily talk.It could damage his reputation.Felix’s gaze remained calm. There wasn’t the slightest hint of guilt in his eyes.“You think I’m

At six o’clock, Zac’s car stopped outside the front gate.Miranda got in, and the car headed toward a high-end restaurant downtown.She hadn’t had much time to relax lately. As she looked out at the bright neon lights and the city skyline, her mood seemed to lift a little.“Mr. Gibson is waiting for you at the restaurant on the top floor,” Zac said. “This way, Ms. Stone.”Miranda took the elevator up to the top-floor restaurant.A server led her into a private dining room. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire business district glittered under the night sky.Felix was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.“You’re here,” he said, looking up.There was a warm smile in his eyes.He had taken off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white dress shirt, making him look a little more relaxed than usual. The glasses still rested on the bridge of his nose.Then he folded the arms of the glasses and slipped them into his shirt pocket.“Are you free after dinner?”

That gentle tone in her voice made Felix’s expression darken slightly.Miranda set her phone down and walked to the door. “You should head back. I’m going to rest.”Since he had taken care of their daughter that evening, her attitude toward him was still reasonably polite.“Get some rest,” Felix

Fiona’s pen scraped harshly across the page, leaving a deep, jagged mark through her notes. She lifted her head and glared at Miranda, who was calmly explaining her ideas. A tight, burning jealousy churned in Fiona’s chest.“I believe synaptic regeneration theory,” Miranda said in a steady, profess

Miranda handed the backpack to Felix. His dark, steady gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds.She didn’t look like someone who had barely slept. In fact, there was a healthy glow to her. Fresh from waking up, her complexion was warm and rosy.Miranda watched as Felix carried Mia into the ele

Mrs. Young was startled. She had not expected Felix to bring this up on his own. “Yes,” she said. “Mia did undergo a lung lavage procedure.”“Why didn’t you notify me?” Felix’s gaze sharpened. “You should have told me.”At the time, Mrs. Young was still working for him as his housekeeper. As his e
