Chapter 79

Penulis: Baby X
“What is it?” Felix asked in a hoarse voice, his face still clouded with sleep.

Disgust flashed in Miranda’s eyes. She got out of bed, unwilling to look at him any longer.

Felix kept his eyes on her, his sharp features now edged with a cold, steely tension.

A few moments later, the bedroom door opened and closed behind her.

Only then did Miranda lie back down and try to fall asleep.

The next morning, she went downstairs for breakfast. Felix was already at the table. As soon as he saw her, h

    At that moment, Felix had just brought Mia and Sienna back to the Gibson estate.He was about to head to Miranda’s lab when he saw Dr. Smith’s call come in.He answered through the car’s hands-free system.“Hello, Dr. Smith.”“Mr. Gibson, there’s something I need to report to you,” Dr. Smith said. “Ms. Spencer came to the lab for her blood draw earlier, but during testing, we found that her sample showed positive syphilis markers.”Felix’s heart sank slightly.But in a way, it wasn’t entirely unexpected.He already knew how chaotic Xena’s private life had become recently, so the news didn’t truly surprise him.“Dr. Smith, stop all experiments involving her blood,” Felix said, his voice low and firm. “I’ll terminate the contract with her. We won’t be using her anymore.”Dr. Smith’s voice remained professional and cautious.“Understood. We’ll begin a full biosafety review of the lab immediately.”“Thank you.”Felix ended the call, then dialed Gavin.Gavin answered quickly.

    Xena bit her lip and looked in the direction Derek had left with a sneer.Then she got ready to leave too.Just then, a server walked over.“Miss, you haven’t paid your bill yet.”Xena stiffened.She walked to the counter, paid, and left.These past few days, everything had been arranged for her, from her meals to her transportation to the place she stayed. It had been a long time since she had paid for anything herself.Xena walked out of the riding club in a daze.Even though it was already August, she felt cold all over.Derek was gone.Daniel had stopped paying for her life too.She had no assistant, no agent, and not a single person left who could help her.Just then, her phone rang.She glanced at the screen and answered.“Hello?”“Ms. Spencer, according to the contract, today is the day you’re scheduled to come in for a blood draw. Are you available to stop by the lab now?”It was Dr. Smith’s assistant.Anger flashed across Xena’s face.Felix had just driven he

    Felix was unbelievably gentle with Mia.Mia looked up at him, clutching the front of his shirt, and asked loudly, “Daddy, do you love Mommy?”Xena had just said Felix didn’t love Miranda.So Mia wanted to hear the answer from him herself.Felix paused for a second.Then he looked into Mia’s eyes, stroked her hair, and answered quietly but firmly, “Yes. I love her.”“Then have you ever liked anyone else besides Mommy?” Mia asked again.Felix kissed her forehead.“No,” he said, just as firmly.Those two answers sent a flash of pain across Xena’s face.Was she really being forced to stand there and listen to Felix confess his love for Miranda?Mia’s eyes brightened at his answer.She wrapped her arms around his neck.“Okay. I know now.”Felix gently pressed her head against his chest.When he looked up again, the warmth in his expression was gone.His eyes were so cold they seemed capable of freezing the air around them.“Xena, I’m giving you three days. Settle whatever y

    Xena continued, “Yes, I got close to Mia on purpose. Every time I saw her, it was like seeing Miranda, and it disgusted me. I pretended to like her and played with her only because I wanted to please Felix. But that little ingrate never appreciated any of it, no matter how nice I pretended to be.”“Shut up!” Sienna snapped. “Mia was only a few years old back then. You used a child that cruelly, and you still have the nerve to say it out loud?”Hatred flashed in Xena’s eyes.“If Miranda hadn’t stolen Felix from me back then, I would have been your sister-in-law long ago. What chance would Miranda have had?”Sienna raised an eyebrow and shot back at once.“Xena, where do you get the confidence to think Felix would ever love you? Let me tell you something. The only woman Felix has ever loved is Miranda. And after all these years, you know better than anyone whether he ever had feelings for you. Stop deluding yourself into thinking he would fall in love with you. Keep dreaming.”Xena

    Xena let out a cold laugh.“If it weren’t for me, you and your mom wouldn’t even be alive today. Is this how the Gibson family treats someone who saved their lives?”“Xena, you got far more out of it than you ever gave,” Sienna said, her expression cooling. “So stop acting like some innocent victim. And don’t forget, I still haven’t settled the score with you for approaching my family with an agenda back then.”“Didn’t you already ruin my performance?” Xena snapped, anger flashing in her eyes. “I have you to thank for where I am now, don’t I, Ms. Gibson?”“Was I wrong to report you?” Sienna said sharply. “Artists deserve respect. You don’t.”Xena clenched her jaw.“If you hadn’t been born into a good family, with that brain of yours, I doubt you could even support yourself. And you have the nerve to judge other people?”“What can I say?” Sienna raised an eyebrow, looking pleased with herself. “I was born lucky. That’s something you’ll never have, no matter how much you envy it.”

    Derek knew that winning Xena over would take money.He also wanted to show off a little, to prove that if she stayed with him, she wouldn’t be making the wrong choice.It just so happened that his close friend’s father owned one of the largest private stables in Atlantis City.Derek immediately said with generous confidence, “Of course. I’ve been meaning to go pick out a good horse myself. We can head over now.”Xena’s heart lifted.It looked like Derek was serious about pursuing her after all. She had been worried he might be cheap.Her lips curved into a delighted smile.“Thank you, Mr. Lee. Then let’s go.”As Derek stood and took a few steps forward, Xena naturally slipped her arm through his.That small gesture pleased him instantly.Xena was exactly his type. Even knowing Daniel had just handed her off to him, Derek didn’t mind at all.If anything, he enjoyed it.There was one thing Derek had always been insecure about. He had never been especially confident in his own

    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

    Dr. Lewis went on stage to deliver his part of the presentation. Once he finished, Miranda stepped down and took a seat beside James. She sat quietly, composed and elegant, like a lily settling into the evening light. Ten minutes later, the conference concluded smoothly.Miranda could not leave r

    Xena smiled faintly. “She’s doing great. She won’t let me down.”Moments later, a staff member entered the backstage area to inform Fiona that Felix had arrived. She took a deep breath, clutching her script with trembling hands. The countdown to the presentation began.On stage, the host opened wi
