Chapter 86

ผู้เขียน: Baby X
Miranda had run out of patience. “If you're not going home, I’ll get a cab myself.”

Without waiting for a response, she stepped toward the curb and raised her hand to hail a taxi. Felix quickly walked up and said, “Come on, let’s go.”

Only then did Miranda follow him to the car. Once inside, she quietly picked out one of the bracelets she liked and slipped it onto her wrist. Even though it had only cost five dollars, the delicate piece still looked elegant against her fair, slender wrist.

    A little while later, Felix’s phone rang. He stepped outside to take the call. Miranda looked up at him, and Felix met her eyes calmly.“Nothing important,” he said.What he meant was clear enough.Nothing mattered more right now than staying with her while she finished the IV.Miranda’s mind felt strangely blank. She had been overworking herself for too long, and now that she had a fever, her head felt even foggier than usual. At least she had made it through the meeting. Dr. Zeller and the others could now move forward with a clearer plan for Mike’s treatment.Half an hour later, the nurse came in to remove the IV. Miranda pressed the cotton to the back of her hand, but maybe because she had been sitting too long, the moment she stood up, a wave of dizziness hit her. She closed her eyes on instinct, and Felix was already there, steadying her by the arm.“Can you walk?” he asked quietly.Miranda nodded and gently pulled her arm free. Felix watched as she moved ahead of him, h

    “I can.” Miranda answered softly and got up to leave the conference room.When they got back to the hospital, the doctor told her she needed to stay and finish an IV and then run some bloodwork. Fortunately, it was not a viral fever. Her body was simply protesting the strain she had been putting it under lately.Miranda sat in the quiet infusion room with the IV running into her hand. A little while later, Felix came over and handed her a cup of warm water.The air-conditioning in the hospital was cold. Even with a fever, Miranda felt chilled. She wrapped her arms around herself as discreetly as she could, trying to fight off the cold.Felix noticed without saying anything. He got up and stepped out for a moment. When he came back, his suit jacket was draped over one arm. He settled it over her shoulders.The warmth of the jacket immediately blocked out the chill from the air-conditioning. Miranda paused. This time, she didn’t refuse it. She only said softly, “Thank you.”Felix s

    After hanging up, Miranda said to Felix in the front seat, “The meeting’s been pushed back an hour.”Felix’s eyes met hers briefly in the rearview mirror. “Then you can get some sleep first.”“All right. I’ll rest for a bit.” Miranda lowered the center armrest, adjusted herself into a more comfortable position, and rested her head against it. Under the effects of the medicine, sleep came quickly.While waiting at a red light, Felix glanced back at Miranda in the rear seat and adjusted the temperature to something more comfortable.The car drove on smoothly for a little over ten minutes before finally pulling up beside a quiet lakeside park, far from the noise of the city.Felix got out, took off his suit jacket, and draped it over Miranda. He didn’t wake her. Then he got back into the driver’s seat and quietly handled work on his phone.Time slipped by. Forty minutes passed quickly, and then Felix drove toward the lab.Miranda, however, had set an alarm before falling asleep. Th

    She thought back to the last time she had called him brother, to the cold, cutting look Felix had given her then. And now, looking at the way he gazed at Miranda, so gentle it was almost unreal, Fiona felt something twist inside her.“Fiona, shouldn’t we head back? We still have a pile of materials to sort through this afternoon,” one of her female coworkers said, pulling her out of her thoughts.“Right.” Fiona looked away. The memory of calling Felix brother sent a chill through her. She grabbed her bag and hurried out first.At Miranda’s table, Felix was listening as Miranda explained the latest breakthrough and what it could mean for the future of the brain-computer project.“I think the three-year plan I backed at the board meeting is actually going to happen,” Miranda told him. “At least that means you won’t be under quite so much pressure.”Something flickered across Felix’s face. His deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, and for a brief second, he looked caught off guard. Back

    Miranda glanced at the time and saw that they still had some room before the meeting. “Let’s eat somewhere near the lab.”Felix nodded, set the iPad aside, and stood up easily. “I’ll drive.”Miranda had pushed herself too hard the night before, and her head still felt slightly heavy. She needed whatever rest she could get before the afternoon meeting.On the way there, she sat in the back seat with her eyes closed, resting. Felix didn’t disturb her. He only glanced at her from time to time in the rearview mirror.By the time they pulled up outside a restaurant across from the lab, Miranda had fallen into a light doze. She woke when the car came to a stop, rubbed her temple, and looked up, only to meet Felix’s eyes in the rearview mirror.Their gazes collided there for a brief second.Miranda looked away first.“We’re here?” She lifted a hand and smoothed her hair.Felix nodded. “Yeah.”He unbuckled, got out first, and came around to open the door for her.The two of them walk

    For once, the two of them were able to sit down to a quiet breakfast together.“I heard the test last night brought good news.” Felix looked up at her. Somehow, he always seemed to know the moment anything changed in the lab.A little light came into Miranda’s eyes. “It did. The results were even better than we expected. We successfully established a stable neural signal pathway—”She stopped there.Across from her, Felix had clearly been waiting for her to continue, only to realize she had cut herself off. Did she think he wouldn’t understand any of it?Miranda pressed her lips together. “It counts as a real medical breakthrough.”A trace of approval flickered in Felix’s eyes.Then Miranda’s expression turned more serious. “But the next step carries a lot of risk too. We need to implant microelectrodes in his brain, and that in itself is an extremely delicate procedure.”“With Dr. Zeller’s team involved, they should be able to pull it off,” Felix said, trying to reassure her.

    The meeting wrapped up at four. Miranda spent another ten minutes speaking with a few of the experts.Felix was standing a short distance away near the flowerbeds outside the conference hall. She had no idea what he was doing there. It was only when she walked out with her bag and her coat over her

    “James, what happened to your hand?” Miranda asked with concern.“When I was holding the pig down earlier, its hoof scraped me. It’s nothing,” he replied.“Let me clean it and bandage it.” Miranda grabbed the first-aid kit and returned to the lab bench.James sat quietly while she disinfected and

    The text message came from an unknown number, but the tone made it obvious to Miranda who had sent it. It was Xena.Miranda stared at the message for a few seconds before replying, “Then keep your dog on a leash.”A response came almost immediately. “Miranda, aren’t you scared I’ll forward this to

    By then, most of the guests had arrived. Leo entered while chatting with an older guest. When he spotted Miranda standing with Haley, he quickly wrapped up the conversation and headed over to them.“Uncle Leo!” Vivian squealed as she ran into his arms.Leo took her hand and glanced a few steps awa
