Chapter 521

Auteur: Baby X
Felix’s gaze darkened, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly, but he didn’t say a word. He did, however, walk out with the coffee still in his hand.

When the door closed behind him, Miranda stood at her desk and clenched her teeth. “Jerk.”

She muttered the word under her breath.

After a moment, she took a long breath and patted her cheeks firmly. She still had work to finish. She refused to waste time or energy on something so pointless.

When she returned from her rounds, she found a takeout c

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1319

    With the urgent pressure finally gone, Miranda and Raymond were able to wrap things up at the lab at a more manageable pace, sorting through the data and organizing the final reports.Later on, James came by to help as well. Most of what he did was the physical work, moving files and handling the heavier tasks. He had heard from Adrian that Miranda had suddenly collapsed, and that Felix had been the one taking care of her. He wanted to ask after her, but in the end, he held himself back.The last thing James wanted was to create more unnecessary misunderstandings.In truth, he had been carrying guilt over that very issue these past few days. He was not usually the sensitive type, but when he looked back now on Felix’s attitude toward him in the beginning, it really had felt like the displeasure of a man dealing with a rival.That realization had sent him back to the messages he and Miranda had exchanged four years ago. Miranda had deleted hers long ago, but James had kept his.He

    His gaze still lingered on her from behind. In that moment, whatever faint possibility Felix had let himself believe in, whatever hope he had kept buried in silence, came to an end.Felix drew a slow breath, tugged lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to Miranda, “You should get back to work. I’ll go.”Miranda seemed to realize only then that he was still standing there. With Raymond still talking in her ear, she had no room to say anything more to him.Felix turned and walked away. His back was as straight as ever, but there was a loneliness in it that was impossible to miss.One thought kept repeating in his mind.She belonged to someone else now.Whatever hopes he still had should end here.Almost without thinking, Miranda turned and glanced once more at the figure walking toward the elevator lobby. Her brows drew together slightly, but only for a moment. Then Raymond’s words pulled her attention away again.After she finished the call, Dr. Zimmer was still inside sp

    Felix sat out in the hallway for another twenty minutes. After a while, he saw Dr. Zimmer come in with a nurse pushing a cart of equipment, likely to run more tests. Not long after that, Miranda came out of Mike’s room.There was still a trace of exhaustion on her face, but the color had returned to her cheeks. The relief of having someone she loved come back to her seemed to breathe life into her all over again.Miranda frowned slightly when she saw Felix still sitting there.Why was he still here?As she walked over, Felix rose to his feet and asked first, “How is he?”“He’s recovering well. Better than we expected,” Miranda answered evenly.Felix looked at her in silence for a few seconds, as if thinking something through. Then he said, “I’m planning to take my mom and Mia to a hot spring resort for a few days. It’s quiet there, good for resting, and it’ll give Mia a chance to relax too.”Miranda blinked in surprise. “When did you decide that?”She hadn’t heard Mia mention i

    Mike looked at her with complete sincerity. “I’m truly grateful for everything you all did to save me. But I need you to understand something. Your safety and your health matter just as much to me.”Miranda knew he was talking about the way she had pushed herself until she collapsed. She lifted a brow and smiled. “You make me sound way too fragile. It was only three sleepless nights. I’m still young. I can handle it.”Outside the room, Felix leaned against the wall in the hallway. Through the glass, he watched the two of them talking. He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he could see the smile on Miranda’s face and the tenderness in Mike’s eyes as he looked at her.That was answer enough for Felix.Inside the room, the look in Mike’s eyes shifted, becoming heavier with guilt and apology.“Miranda, there is something I need to apologize for. And there is something I need to tell you.”Miranda paused and looked at him carefully. “What is it?”“This mission was not a militar

    A quiet mix of bitterness and self-mockery spread through Felix’s chest.“Don’t worry,” he scoffed softly. “To him, you look beautiful no matter what.”Miranda froze. Her hand stopped in the middle of smoothing her hair. She pressed her lips together but said nothing.“Do you want to go home and shower before you see him?” Felix asked suddenly.Miranda shook her head. “No.”Another self-mocking smile tugged at his mouth. “So you really do care that much about how you look in front of him.”Miranda blinked, slightly taken aback. It was true that she wanted to look a little more put together, but that was simply a woman’s natural instinct.She looked at him and said, “Thank you for staying with me. You should go home and get some rest.”Only then did she notice the faint red in his eyes too, as though he had also gone several nights without proper sleep.“I’m fine,” Felix said, sitting back down.“Have you seen my phone?” Miranda asked.Felix handed it to her. Miranda took it

    When his life had hung in the balance, it was those two people, and the teams behind them, who had fought to win him one last chance.That was a debt too great to measure.He slowly closed his eyes, forcing all the emotion back down. “Uncle Zeller, I understand. Thank you for telling me.”Miranda woke again from another jolt of panic.Like someone breaking the surface after nearly drowning, she sat bolt upright, gasping for air.Felix had been resting with his eyes closed. The moment he heard her move, he opened them and met her startled, desperate gaze.“Did he wake up? Did Mike wake up?” Miranda grabbed his arm, her voice hoarse and urgent.Felix looked at the fear still written on her face and felt the tremor in her fingers. It was exactly what he had expected. The person she cared about most was still Mike.A dull ache tightened across his chest for a few seconds, but he immediately turned his hand and closed it around hers, the pressure gentle and reassuring.“He woke up,

    At this moment, Mike was openly presenting himself as Miranda’s boyfriend. He couldn’t see her expression, but she didn’t object. That alone felt like tacit consent.Felix was seated by the window, in the same row as Miranda. His gaze drifted in their direction, dark and unreadable.After sitting

    Mike lingered where he was, watching Miranda until she disappeared from sight.A staff member beside Felix lowered his voice. “Mr. Gibson, we can proceed with boarding now.”Only after Mike finally turned and left did Felix withdraw his gaze. His expression was blank as he gave a slight nod.Mira

    A short while later, the same server from earlier brought Miranda a glass of lemon water. She glanced at it but didn’t take it.Throughout the entire meal, Miranda never touched the water. Felix clearly noticed this as well, though there was no emotion visible on his face.When it was time to retu

    Early the next morning, after dropping Mia off at school, Miranda headed to the lab. The trip to the Danesia summit had been immensely rewarding, and now it was time for her to fully focus on her ongoing research.James called for the morning meeting, and Miranda slipped on her lab coat before head
