Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1662
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

Felix’s words made Miranda stop.She frowned and looked at him.“What do you mean?”Felix looked back at her. Behind the lenses, his eyes were deep, with a faint, sly smile in them.“The Chamber has been pushing a major research-support initiative lately. Your work fits the criteria perfectly, and equipment purchases are included in the budget. All I did was say a few words and connect the right people.”In other words, the Chamber was paying for it.It had nothing to do with him.To him, it was nothing more than making a quick introduction.Miranda’s frown deepened.Her voice turned serious.“You don’t have to do this. I know you’re helping me, but I don’t want you getting into trouble either. Given our relationship, this is too sensitive.”After all, it was Chamber money being used to support his ex-wife’s research.People could easily talk.It could damage his reputation.Felix’s gaze remained calm. There wasn’t the slightest hint of guilt in his eyes.“You think I’m

At six o’clock, Zac’s car stopped outside the front gate.Miranda got in, and the car headed toward a high-end restaurant downtown.She hadn’t had much time to relax lately. As she looked out at the bright neon lights and the city skyline, her mood seemed to lift a little.“Mr. Gibson is waiting for you at the restaurant on the top floor,” Zac said. “This way, Ms. Stone.”Miranda took the elevator up to the top-floor restaurant.A server led her into a private dining room. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire business district glittered under the night sky.Felix was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.“You’re here,” he said, looking up.There was a warm smile in his eyes.He had taken off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white dress shirt, making him look a little more relaxed than usual. The glasses still rested on the bridge of his nose.Then he folded the arms of the glasses and slipped them into his shirt pocket.“Are you free after dinner?”

Miranda closed the window, started the engine, and drove away without giving Xena a single glance.As her car disappeared, Fiona came walking out of the lobby with her bag. She opened the door of Xena’s Ferrari and settled into the passenger seat.“I just ran into Miranda,” Xena said as she starte

The smile on Miranda’s face faded. She turned away, looking elsewhere.Leo let out a quiet laugh. “I was just praising her for smoothing things over with your shareholders.”Felix’s gaze shifted to Miranda’s profile, his expression cooling. “It was impressive.”A brief, heavy silence fell between

“I support investing in the brain–computer program. It’s easily the most promising project we have,” one of the senior shareholders suddenly said, his voice full of excitement.Several others nodded immediately. Their expressions made it clear they agreed.Felix smiled and gave a short nod. “Good.

Miranda frowned slightly. Ben’s explanation only half-convinced her. She decided she would take a closer look at the robot herself before forming an opinion.She hung up the phone and returned to the living room just in time to see Mia happily playing with the robot. Mia tilted her head and asked i
