Chapter 640

Author: Baby X
Mia had been a high-needs baby from the day she was born. She almost never let anyone else hold her.

During those months, Miranda barely slept and hardly ate. Even with both a nanny and a postpartum helper, she could not bring herself to hand Mia over. The moment someone else picked her up, Mia would scream until her tiny face turned bright red.

She recognized Miranda’s scent instantly. Anyone else could only hold her for a few minutes before she began squirming and crying. Even when Felix tr

    But after the anger faded, reality came crashing back.Zoe’s medical bills were still waiting for her.So was the cost of long-term care afterward.Xena suddenly thought of the photos the media had released not long ago. Miranda and Felix had been photographed leaving a banquet hall together, with Felix wrapping her tightly in his suit jacket as if she were something precious he had lost and finally found again.It only proved that the past ten years of Xena’s life had been a complete joke.She had spent the best decade of her youth trying to break up another woman’s marriage. In the end, she had lost everything. She didn’t get the man, she didn’t get the money, and she had been driven out of the country.How ironic.These days, the thing Xena regretted most was not marrying Hayden when she had the chance.Back then, she had been completely blinded. Her whole heart had been fixed on Felix. Even a single glance from him could make her happy for half a day.She had enjoyed hover

    Her gaze carried the practiced hint of flirtation as she looked at the young doctor in the white coat.He was handsome.In the past, her charm would have been enough to make any man stop and stare the moment he saw her.Felix, of course, had been the exception.But this time, things didn’t go the way she expected.The young doctor was focused on his phone. When he sensed someone entering the elevator, he merely glanced sideways at Xena before looking back at his screen.When Xena stood beside him, he seemed to catch a complicated scent in the air. His brows drew together slightly.That tiny movement made Xena’s face burn.It was as if something had scalded her, leaving her frozen in place.She immediately realized that she had left in such a hurry today that she hadn’t put on any perfume.The faint, unpleasant odor coming from her body must have reached him.Even she could smell it sometimes, that slightly sweet, metallic scent that made her stomach turn. In a confined space

    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

    Miranda arrived at the lab that afternoon. James had already heard about the invitation she had received and was both impressed and genuinely happy for her. It was clear proof that her work had been recognized.“James, I’ll have to leave the lab in your hands for a bit,” Miranda said. “I’ll try to

    “Professor, this is Dr. Stone,” Dr. Smith said.The renowned expert studied her for a few seconds, clearly impressed. “You are so young, yet you have already achieved so much. That is truly impressive. Dr. Smith mentioned your research on leukemia to me. You are an outstanding young scientist.”Mi

    Hayden reached out and gave Leo a light pat on the shoulder, asking curiously, “So what were you two just talking about?”“Nothing,” Leo said casually, lifting his gaze toward Felix. “Just chatting.”Felix raised an eyebrow. “Yeah. Just chatting.”Hayden looked back and forth between the two of t
