The call on the other end took a while to connect. Xena didn’t wait for him to speak. Gasping, she said, “Felix… I think I’m going to faint. Please help me. I’m in the restroom.”

Miranda had just returned to her seat when she saw Felix stand up abruptly. At the same time, Mike handed her a phone that was vibrating in his hand.

She glanced at the screen. It was Mrs. Young calling.

Miranda stepped out into a quiet side corridor and answered.

“Mommy, can I have some cookies?” Mia asked softly.

    Felix could only nod obediently.“Okay. I’ll wait for you at home.”The next afternoon, Gavin came to take Miranda to the airport.This time, Dr. Lewis and several well-known professors were traveling with her.Miranda wore a crisp trench coat and walked beside the older professors. Calm and composed, she fit in effortlessly among them.Two and a half hours later, they arrived at Hamilton Airport.Miranda checked into the guest accommodations that had been arranged for them.For the next three days, she attended back-to-back lectures and training sessions. The schedule was full, but productive.Every day after class, Felix would video call her with Mia.At noon on the fourth day, Miranda had just finished lunch in the cafeteria and was talking with a few colleagues when her phone rang.She picked it up and glanced at the screen.Then she paused slightly.It was Mike.Miranda took her phone outside to answer.Mike’s familiar voice came through the line.“Miranda, I heard

    Miranda had an upcoming work trip that would last about a week. The National Science and Technology Institute was holding a project exchange meeting. The email had come in last month, but she had kept quiet about it until now.“I have to travel for work on Monday. I’ll probably be gone for about a week.”Felix lifted his head and looked at her.“Travel? Where?”“Hamilton. There’s a project exchange at the institute, and I need to attend.”Felix’s brows drew together at once.“A week? You’re leaving me here alone for a whole week?”Miranda almost laughed in annoyance.“Alone? Your mom and Sienna both moved into this neighborhood, didn’t they? How are you alone? And Mia is here too.”Felix was left briefly speechless, but the look on his face clearly said he wasn’t happy.He asked sullenly, “When are you leaving?”“Probably Sunday afternoon.”“But I need you.”Felix tightened his arms around her like he was being completely unreasonable on purpose.“I’m a patient. You can

    At the entrance, just before Felix went into the procedure room, he turned to Miranda.“Wait for me.”“I’ll be right here.”Felix lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then turned and walked in calmly.The door closed behind him.Miranda stood in the hallway, staring at the shut door, her heart beating a little faster for no reason.“Ms. Stone, we’ve prepared tea and snacks in the waiting area. Would you like to rest there for a while?” Gavin walked over and asked.Miranda nodded and went to the waiting area nearby.She took out her phone, wanting to read something to distract herself, but she could not focus at all.Twenty minutes passed.Then thirty.Nearly an hour later, the door finally opened.Felix was wheeled out. His face was a little pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits.After he was brought into the recovery room, the hospital staff gave a few instructions and left.Miranda sat down by the bed and could not help asking, “Does it hurt?”Felix smiled and

    Miranda buried her face against his chest and asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”For a split second, surprise flashed through Felix’s eyes.Then he seemed to realize what she meant.“Gavin told you?” he asked helplessly.Miranda nodded.Felix lifted her chin, his deep eyes open and sincere.“I was going to tell you after it was done so you wouldn’t worry,” he said in a low voice.“I told you there’s no need.” Miranda looked at him, unable to understand why he would go that far.Felix smiled and kissed her forehead.“Don’t worry. I’m only going in for a consultation first.”Then he lowered his head a little and brushed his lips against hers.“I don’t want you to go through pregnancy and childbirth again.”Miranda’s heart jolted.“The only way to make absolutely sure that doesn’t happen is a vasectomy,” Felix said, gently stroking her cheek. “Mira, Mia is enough for us.”Miranda let out a soft sigh.“I’m not even sure whether I might want another child someday.”F

    Two hundred million.At this rate, everything he had worked for was about to go up in smoke.Wesley stormed out.The moment he stepped into the elevator, Melanie called.Already furious, he answered.Melanie’s voice came through at once.“Honey, I’m going to your cousin’s place this afternoon. I’ll bring Yara with me too.”Wesley’s hand shook around the phone.“Melanie, shut your mouth! Look at the mess you’ve caused.”“What did I do now?”“I’ll settle this with you when I get home.”Wesley growled the words and hung up.*Felix led Miranda back to his office.Once they were inside, he guided her onto the couch and searched her face carefully.“Don’t let what Wesley said get to you,” he said. “I’m sorry you had to hear that in front of everyone.”Miranda smiled.“I didn’t.”“Really?” There was still a trace of uncertainty in his eyes.“What outsiders say doesn’t affect me.”Miranda patted the seat beside her.“Sit. Let’s talk.”Felix sat down beside her.Miranda

    Wesley’s face flushed, then drained of color.His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t get a single word out.Whatever pride and dignity he had left were gone.It was as if, in that moment, he had finally been forced to recognize exactly where he stood.Miranda remained standing by her seat, her mind blank for a moment.She watched Felix turn back toward her.Felix was looking at her too. The anger in his eyes had faded, leaving only quiet reassurance.Reassurance meant for her.Miranda’s eyes warmed under that gaze.She hadn’t expected Felix to say those words. Not in front of so many people, and not with such complete, uncompromising protection.Felix came to her side without another word. He took her hand and said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”His voice had returned to calm, but the strength of his grip told her his emotions were anything but.Miranda did not pull away.She let him lead her out of the conference room.The hallway wa

    The next morning, Miranda received a call from the vice president of the Jenkins Foundation. They hoped she would deliver a speech at the launch of their new talent development initiative. After all, it was a charitable project she had personally funded. Miranda had planned to decline, but the pro

    That afternoon, Miranda spent two hours in the lab. Adrian asked her several technical questions, and she answered each one patiently. He still remembered what Fiona had done last time, and for a moment, he wanted to warn Miranda to be careful around her.“Miranda, how are things between you and

    Sienna let out a quiet sigh. “There’s no point being upset now. Miranda has already stolen the spotlight.”Xena shot her a sharp look. “Sienna.”That was enough to make Sienna fall silent. Xena turned back to Fiona and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t lose heart. There will be other chances.”B

    Xena’s expression tightened as well. Hayden leaned in to explain, “Felix is discussing work matters with Miranda.”Sienna bit her lip. “What kind of ‘important work’ has to be discussed right now?”Just then, staff members began seating a row of senior guests in the front. It was clear that the
