Miranda stepped out into the lobby before answering Sophie’s call.“Hey, Sophie.”“I’ve finished drafting the divorce agreement. I sent it to your email. Look it over and let me know if anything needs changing.”“Got it. Thank you,” Miranda replied.“Don’t thank me. Helping you get free from a miserable marriage is exactly what a friend should do.”Miranda smiled faintly. Just then, another call came in. She glanced at the screen and saw James’s name.“Sophie, I’ve got another call. I’ll see you tomorrow.”“Go take it,” Sophie said, hanging up.Miranda answered the next call. “Hi, James.“The files are in the bottom drawer of the office cabinet. Why haven't you left work yet?” she asked with concern.“I’m planning to go over the evidence again tonight. The trial’s tomorrow, and I want to be ready.”“Okay. Just don’t stay too late. Try to get some rest,” Miranda urged gently.“I will. Thanks,” James replied with quiet gratitude.When Miranda hung up, she turned and nearly c

Miranda fixed her eyes on him. “Why?”“I’m doing this for your own good,” Felix replied coolly.In that moment, Miranda understood. He wanted her off the project so she wouldn’t have access to her mother’s donor sample, afraid her emotions would interfere and slow down his precious research.She drew in a sharp breath. “The person you’re trying to save… is it Xena?”Felix’s brow tightened.He didn’t need to admit it. Miranda already knew. The realization stabbed through her chest like a blade.A bitter laugh escaped her lips. “You want to use my mom’s bone marrow for your experiments? I’ll never agree to it.”“I’ll give you one month,” Felix said. “If you can find a matching donor within that time, I’ll return your mother’s sample. If not, stay out of this research.” With that, he turned and walked away.Miranda swayed on her feet. Her hand shot out to brace against the wall as searing pain spread through her chest.That night, she held Mia close as her daughter slept soundly

Just as Miranda turned the corner, she overheard Coco’s voice brimming with envy.“Fiona, I’m so jealous of you. Who would’ve thought Dr. Liam would take you on as her last protégé? With her backing, your future is set.”“My mentor has high expectations for me,” Fiona replied smugly. “With her guidance, I’ll advance so much faster.”Coco gave a little laugh. “And with Dr. Liam in charge, Miranda has no chance to slip in through the back door anymore. She’s already been cut out.”“People without ability always end up like this,” Fiona said mockingly. “There’s no place for weakness in science.”Miranda waited until their voices faded before stepping out of the hallway. She returned to her office, gathering her papers just as James stopped by to check on her. He had already reached out through his global connections, searching the international genetic database for a compatible donor sample.“If anything comes up, I’ll let you know right away,” James assured her.“Thank you,” Miran

Xena rested her chin in her hand and nodded sweetly. “Alright.“I just overheard my sister mention something. Did you know Miranda is planning to take an accelerated graduation exam? She wants to finish her undergraduate studies early,” Xena asked.Felix’s brow lifted slightly. “Is that so?”“I also heard Dr. Liam reorganized the team and left Miranda off the list. Felix, shouldn’t you ask her to be included? She is your wife, after all.”“It was at my request that Dr. Liam didn’t use her,” Felix replied.Xena paused. “Won’t that make her upset?”“She’s already upset with me for using her mother’s sample.”Xena’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I suppose she would be, considering it’s for…”“What are you two talking about?” a voice cut in. Hayden strolled over. Felix greeted him, and Hayden turned to Xena. “You’re alright? I saw the news earlier. Looked pretty scary.”“I’m fine. I never expected a fan to be that crazy. Just ended up with a bruised arm,” Xena said, lifting h
