Chapter 706

작가: Baby X
Miranda headed toward the elevator and responded lightly, “Yes.”

Felix followed her inside. He reached out and pressed the button for the twenty-seventh floor.

The air in the elevator felt heavy and tense. When they reached the twenty-seventh floor, Felix stepped out.

Miranda returned home, tidied up a bit, and prepared to head to the lab. But just as she came out with her bag, she saw Felix standing outside her door. In his hand was a long, deep-blue velvet box.

He looked at her and held th

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1530

    The look in Felix’s eyes when he had stubbornly asked her about that glass of water surfaced in her mind again.For a moment, Miranda’s feelings became even more complicated.At seven o’clock, James was still asleep.Miranda heard the door open and thought it was a nurse coming in.When she turned around, she saw Felix walk in instead.He was carrying a bag of takeout containers in one hand and a clothing bag in the other.“What are you doing here?” Miranda asked softly, surprised.“I brought you clean clothes,” Felix said. “Go take a shower in the bathroom next door and change.”After saying that, he glanced at the bloodstains on her sleeve.Miranda didn’t really mind, but since he had already brought the clothes, she went next door to change.Only when she opened the bag did she realize there was not just a change of clothes inside. There were also undergarments and a bath towel.Then she remembered that he had told her to shower before changing.Looking at the undergarme

    Miranda stood there, her feelings complicated.She knew Felix meant well, but…“Miranda, I bought James some fruit. Is he awake?” Coco’s voice sounded behind her.“He’s awake,” Miranda said with a nod. “Go in and see him.”When they returned to the hospital room, James was sitting propped up against the pillows.Seeing them come in, he looked at Miranda and asked, “Did Mr. Gibson leave?”“He had work to handle,” Miranda answered casually.Then she asked with concern, “Does your wound still hurt?”“The anesthesia hasn’t fully worn off yet, so it doesn’t hurt,” James said, shaking his head.Coco was still angry.“Fiona went way too far this time. Does this count as attempted murder? If it weren’t for you, Miranda would have…”Before she could finish, she saw James look over at her.Coco immediately stopped herself.James’s gaze turned colder.“What Fiona did was attempted murder.”He was usually gentle and composed, but the moment Fiona was mentioned, there was only anger

    Felix comforted her in a low voice. “Don’t worry. He’ll be okay.”Miranda nodded.She looked at James’s wound. If Fiona’s fork had gone just a little lower, she didn’t dare imagine what might have happened.Her eyes grew wet again. She pressed her lips together, tears gathering in her eyes.Seeing that, Felix reached for another tissue and handed it to her.Miranda took it and dabbed at the corners of her eyes.Just then, James opened his eyes.The anesthesia was probably starting to wear off. He blinked a few times before his gaze finally focused on Miranda’s face.Seeing the concern in her eyes, he moved his pale lips. His voice was hoarse from thirst.“I’m okay…”Then his gaze shifted to Felix, who was standing at the foot of the bed.He looked a little surprised.“Mr. Gibson, you’re here too.”James tried to prop himself up.Under his hospital gown, his chest was wrapped in thick layers of gauze. Fortunately, the fork hadn’t been sharp enough to cause a deeper wound.

    Seeing Miranda cry, James quickly tried to comfort her.“I’m okay. I’m really okay.”“Don’t talk,” Miranda said, forcing back her tears as she tried to stay calm. “Save your strength.”Beside her, Coco had already called the police.Fiona sat weakly on the floor.She looked up at the man she had secretly loved for three whole years. Now, because of her, he was covered in blood.For a moment, the world seemed to spin around her.It felt as if that fork had stabbed straight through her own heart too, leaving her in so much pain she could barely breathe.“James… James, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”She instinctively tried to crawl toward him, but Coco reached out and blocked her.“You still have the nerve to call his name? You have no right to go near him.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t want to hurt you.”Fiona covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably as overwhelming regret swallowed her whole.Just then, security arrived after hearing the commotion and immediatel

    Miranda turned and gave her a cold look.“If you have something to say, say it.”“I got fired because you said something to Mr. Gibson, didn’t you?” Fiona’s voice sharpened. The hatred on her face had clearly been building for a long time. “Miranda, you really are pathetic. You’re using your ex-husband’s power to bully Gibson Corporation employees now? Does that make you feel good?”“Fiona,” Miranda said coldly, “watch what you say. If you have an issue with the decision, you can file a formal appeal.”“Would that even help?” Fiona’s eyes were filled with pain and resentment. “The entire Gibson Corporation belongs to your ex-husband. If Felix wants me gone, he can come up with any excuse he wants.”She stared at Miranda with hatred.“Stop pretending. Everyone knows you’re clinging to Felix again. You want to use your daughter to get back into his life, don’t you? What, are you trying to settle a personal grudge now? I’m already out of your way, but you still won’t leave me alone?

    After Ben left, Miranda stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the glittering skyline outside. Her thoughts drifted back six years.Felix had always been the same, even after they married. He was cold, detached, and unwilling to let anyone close. She used to believe that if she loved him e

    That evening, Miranda went home with Mia. Mrs. Young started preparing dinner, and Gigi played with Mia in the living room, their laughter ringing through the house.On the table, Mrs. Young had placed a small bouquet of flowers for Miranda. Under the soft light, the scene felt warm and peaceful, l

    Sophie let out a small “oh” and said, “Looks like Mr. Gibson is still focused on immediate profits.”She stirred her coffee, then suddenly remembered something. “By the way, did you see the news about the Lincoln family?”Miranda nodded. “I did. Leo’s father was hospitalized with a serious illness

    “Risk and losses aren’t your concern,” Ben said firmly. “Mr. Gibson will handle that. You can go now.” He waved his hand, signaling for Fiona to leave.Fiona walked out of his office, her expression shifting between anger and unease. As much as she hated to admit it, Miranda’s theory was groundbrea
