Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Kabanata 1061 - Kabanata 1070

Back then, Miranda really had been fresh-faced and beautiful. Gavin had been genuinely struck by her the first time he saw her.He had even thought at the time that Miranda was honestly too good for someone like Felix.Compared to Xena, who was always greedily reaching for more money and more fame in Danesia, Miranda had wanted so little it was almost nothing.But now, Miranda had changed so much that she felt almost out of reach.Drop by drop, the medicine from the IV flowed into Felix’s arm, and before long, he drifted back to sleep.Gavin quietly stepped over, adjusted the blanket over him, and went back to work.No matter what, Gavin still hoped Felix could win Miranda back. Otherwise, with Felix’s personality, he might really end up alone for the rest of his life.At five-thirty, Miranda picked Mia up and brought her home. She hadn’t planned to tell her that Felix was sick.But the moment they got back, while Miranda was only in the kitchen washing her hands, Mrs. Young le

“Okay. I’ll go get Mia and bring her upstairs for dinner,” Miranda said.She went down to the twenty-seventh floor and rang the bell. When Gavin saw her, he smiled. “Ms. Stone, you’re here. Perfect timing. I have to head out for something. Could I ask you to keep an eye on Mr. Gibson for a bit?”Miranda paused. “How is he doing?”“He’s down to a low-grade fever now, but Dr. Lewis is worried it could spike again tonight,” Gavin said, concern clear in his voice.Miranda nodded. “All right.”Gavin looked instantly relieved. “Thank you, Ms. Stone. Then I’ll get going.”The expression on his face looked almost like he had just put down a heavy load. He headed out and closed the door behind him.Felix wasn’t in the living room. Miranda heard voices coming from the playroom.Inside, Felix was sitting on the couch, helping Mia build with blocks. Gigi was stretched out beside him, her big head resting affectionately on his leg while he absently stroked her with one hand. Her eyes were h

Just as Miranda was about to hang up, Gavin said urgently, “Ms. Stone, I’m sorry to ask this of you, but I really need your help with Mr. Gibson. My father was just admitted to the hospital, and I can’t get away.”Miranda paused for a second, then answered, “Okay.”She pushed the door open. Only one dim wall lamp was on in the living room. Felix was lying on the couch, seemingly asleep. Miranda walked over to check on him and found that his breathing was a little fast, his brows tightly drawn. He wasn’t sleeping well at all.She reached out and touched his forehead.Just as she thought, it was burning hot.His fever had come back.Miranda stood and went into the bathroom. She wrung out another cold towel and brought it back to lay across his forehead. Then, as she picked up the medicine on the table to check it, a hoarse, disbelieving voice sounded behind her.“Miranda?”“When did you take your last dose?” Miranda turned and asked coldly.Felix frowned, trying to remember. “A

Through the glass window, Miranda saw Felix sitting quietly in the chair with one arm extended while the nurse skillfully went through the blood draw.As if he sensed her standing outside, he looked up. His gaze had already returned to its usual calm depth. Their eyes met for only a moment, and Miranda turned away at once.The nurse pulled out the needle and pressed a cotton ball to the spot. Felix thanked her quietly, then stood.He rolled down his shirtsleeve over his strong forearm, pressed the spot for a few more seconds, then adjusted his cuff and headed for the door with his usual composure.Miranda had just reached her office door when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned.Felix had stopped a few feet away, leaving a proper distance between them.“Dr. Stone.” His tone was polite, almost formal.Miranda lifted her eyes to him coolly. “Do you need something?”“I’m here for this week’s blood draw,” Felix said, his low voice steady, his eyes fixed on her. “I won’t inte

Xena tightened her grip on the phone. Of course she knew Gavin was giving her an excuse. Felix simply didn’t want to take her call.“Gavin, this is about the cooperation between York Corporation and Creaxis Corporation. I want to ask Felix...”“Ms. Spencer.” Gavin cut her off at once, his tone calm and steady. “For anything related to business cooperation, please contact the appropriate department directly. Mr. Gibson does not personally handle matters like that. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”“Wait, Gavin...” Xena called out in a hurry. “Can’t you at least put me through? Or tell me where he is so I can go find him myself?”“I’m sorry, Ms. Spencer, but Mr. Gibson’s schedule is not something I can disclose. Goodbye.”Gavin hung up cleanly.Xena sat frozen in place, listening to the dead tone on the line. Each beep felt like a slap in the face. A huge wave of humiliation and helplessness rose inside her. When had she ever been treated this coldly before? Had e
