Miranda looked up and glanced at him. “If this is about work, then say what you need to say. If it’s personal, I’m busy, and I don’t have time for it.”Felix’s words caught in his throat. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman sitting behind the desk. She hadn’t even really looked at him, as if she had no interest in anything he might say.“Ten years ago, I signed an agreement with her. I gave her resources and financial support, and in return, she agreed to be a designated donor for me to use—”Miranda’s fingers paused over the keyboard. She cut him off at once. “Right now, the only thing I care about is the trial data and evaluating the safety of the treatment. If you don’t have anything work-related to discuss, then please don’t waste my time.”Then her eyes returned to the screen. After a beat, she added, “Compared to everything I have ahead of me, a marriage ruined by cheating means nothing.”Felix stood there in silence. In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave

Xena’s face turned even paler. She looked at Hayden. His smile was still bright, and his eyes were still gentle, but she knew something had changed.And it was all because of Sera.Hayden grew a little flustered under the way Xena was looking at him. He scratched the back of his head and asked, “Xena, what’s going on with you today? Why do you seem so down? Did something happen between you and Felix?”Just then, one of the house staff came over with a bowl of warm soup and set it on the coffee table.“Ms. Spencer, your soup is ready.”“Okay, just leave it there,” Xena said.Then she started to get up to reach for it, but suddenly sucked in a sharp breath from the pain.“What’s wrong?” Hayden asked immediately, concern flashing across his face.Xena sank back into the sofa, her hand trembling as she slowly pulled back her sleeve. She revealed the puncture site. The wound had only recently stopped bleeding, and the surrounding skin was a ghastly, vivid shade of bruised purple tha

Sienna shook her head, her eyes bright with hope. “I’m fine, Felix. I really am.” Then she hurried to ask, “If I’m okay, does that mean we can move on to saving Mom?”Only then did Felix turn to Miranda. “How does the second-stage data look?”“It looks good,” Miranda said evenly. “Sienna is tolerating the treatment even better than I expected. The key indicators have improved noticeably.”Felix looked at her and gave a slight nod. “Thank you. How much longer do we need to keep monitoring her?”“At least another forty-eight hours of close observation,” Miranda answered in a businesslike tone.“I’ll have Dr. Smith handle the monitoring tonight. You should go home and get some rest,” Felix said, his concern plain in his voice.“No. You take care of Mia. I’m staying here,” Miranda replied.“Miranda, you should listen to Felix and go get some rest,” Sienna said. She could see how tired Miranda was, and she felt genuinely bad about it.“Why would I listen to him?” Miranda shot back c

“Dr. Stone, did you see the scars on Ms. Spencer’s wrist? Those incidents where she cut herself were probably her way of controlling Mr. Gibson.”Miranda frowned.As the only matching donor in the world, Xena really could use her life to control Felix at any time. So whatever she wanted, Felix had no choice but to give it to her.Even if it meant sacrificing his marriage.Miranda thought back to what happened at the pool. Xena had deliberately tripped her and dragged her into the water with her. She had known Felix would jump in to save her first, because the lives of three generations of the Gibson family were tied to her.Miranda still remembered the panic on Felix’s face that day as he checked on Xena, and the pride and satisfaction in Xena’s eyes. Back then, Miranda had taken that as proof that Felix loved her.She also thought of that dinner, when Xena had deliberately reached for alcohol and Felix had snatched the glass away from her. At the time, Miranda thought it was con

Miranda’s eyes were bright with focus. She even smiled a little. “I know. Thanks for the reminder.”“Oh, right. Mr. Gibson is on the line. He wants to talk to you,” Dr. Smith said quickly, handing her the phone.Miranda immediately thought of Mia. Was something wrong with her? She took the phone at once. “What happened to Mia?”Felix on the other end spoke in a low voice, trying to reassure her. “Mia’s asleep. She’s fine. Miranda, go get some rest. Stop staying in the lab.”The moment she heard that Mia was fine, Miranda relaxed. Her tone cooled again. “What I do is none of your business.”Felix’s voice suddenly sharpened with emotion. “You don’t want what happened to your father to happen to you too, Miranda. Listen to me.”Miranda froze.A second later, his voice softened again. “The experiment can wait until tomorrow. Don’t run yourself into the ground.”As if she had forgotten. Back when she was working on the leukemia drug, he hadn’t sounded like this at all. Back then, he
