Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1642
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,

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’

“I’ll have it dry-cleaned and return it to my friend,” Felix said. After that, he took the custom-tailored, deep blue suit jacket and headed out.Mrs. Young waited until he had stepped out of the front gate before heading upstairs to tell Miranda what happened.Miranda was in her study working on

“I’ll take you home,” Leo said.“It’s fine. Go take care of your guests.”Leo’s eyes showed he wasn’t backing down. “It’s no trouble. Come on.”Miranda stepped outside. Her car was parked in the VIP lane at the entrance of the Moutin Hotel.A cold wind swept through the night. December was almos

After playing for about fifteen minutes, Mia came out of the playroom and noticed Felix was gone. A small wave of disappointment crossed her face, but she didn’t fuss. Miranda returned to her study, and just as she sat down, her phone rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.She answered.

Felix stared at the photos for a few seconds. He remembered that on Wednesday he had asked Miranda whether she planned to attend the parent-child outing, and she had explicitly told him she wouldn't be attending.So why was she there with Mia?Did she say that just to keep him away, making it easi
