Even if she didn’t ask him herself, the Lloyd family would eventually have to come to him for the same thing. Since that was unavoidable, Miranda decided she would rather be the one to ask.“I know this is sudden, but...” She forced herself to continue. “If you’re willing to help, I’ll agree to one condition of yours. As long as it’s something I can do and it doesn’t go against my principles, I’ll do it.”The moment the words left her mouth, heat rushed to her face. It felt too much like a transaction, one that had placed her squarely in the weaker position.At her words, something in Felix’s eyes darkened instantly, like a stone dropped into still water, sending ripples through the depths. He took a small step closer, narrowing the distance between them, and looked at her with a slow, searching intensity. When he spoke, his voice was low and measured, edged with something dangerous.“Any condition?”The sudden shift in his tone, and the way he stepped closer, clearly rattled Mi

Felix tucked the blanket more securely around her, stood by the bed for a few moments longer, then finally turned and went downstairs.He didn’t leave.Instead, he sat down on the couch in the living room. Outside, the night grew darker. He called Sienna and asked her to keep Mia overnight, without explaining why.After hanging up, Felix set down his phone. The city lights outside the window cast a dim glow across the hard planes of his face. The back of his hand still seemed to hold the damp trace of her tears. He pulled out his phone again and sent instructions for his private jet to fly straight to Andrell’s Danesia facility and bring back the newest upgraded Helios chip.He had given her his word.And when he gave his word, he meant to keep it.Miranda woke at nine-thirty, drenched in cold sweat. She touched her face and found her cheeks still damp, the tracks of tears not yet fully dry. Letting out a quiet breath, she sat there for a moment.The dream had felt too real.In

The doorbell rang, pulling Felix out of his thoughts. He got up, walked to the door, and opened it to find a delivery driver standing there with the food.Felix took the bag and carried it to the dining table. After glancing upstairs, he unpacked the dishes and set everything out neatly before heading upstairs to call Miranda down.She was staring at the screen, focused on a string of data, so deep in thought that she hadn’t even noticed someone standing in the doorway.Under the warm glow of the desk lamp, Miranda rested her chin on one hand, completely absorbed in the sea of numbers before her. Her profile looked soft in the light, a few loose strands of hair falling by her face, her brow faintly furrowed.For a moment, the sight overlapped with an old memory in Felix’s mind, the image of her sitting quietly in the library, lost in a book.The emotion stirred up by those memories hit him all over again. He drew in a breath, forced everything back down, then lifted a hand and kno

Miranda and Raymond headed to the parking lot. Raymond had come by taxi, so he got into Miranda’s car and went with her to the lab.By the time they arrived, the chip had already been delivered. Miranda and Raymond immediately began working, moving with tight, controlled focus. After the first tense run, the chip performed perfectly, delivering the processing power the brain-computer system required.Miranda braced both hands against the edge of the table. Her face looked calm, but her heart was already pounding.Just then, her phone rang.She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Dr. Zimmer, Mike’s attending physician. A sudden sense of dread closed around her heart.She immediately stepped out into the hallway and answered, her voice tightening without her meaning it to. “Dr. Zimmer.”“Dr. Stone, just now, Mr. Lloyd’s vitals started fluctuating sharply. There are signs of cardiopulmonary failure. We’re trying to stabilize him, but the situation is not looking good.”Mir

During those three days, he hadn’t gone out of his way to see her. He had only caught sight of her a few times in the lab hallway. And now, looking at her standing beside that massive piece of equipment, her frame looked thinner than ever, her face pale, while only her eyes remained as focused and steady as before.Something darkened in Felix’s gaze, but he said nothing.Dr. Zeller came over then. After speaking briefly with Justin and shaking his hand, he gave a few final instructions and sent Miranda’s team inside.Felix walked with Justin to the observation area behind the glass, where they would watch the procedure that might decide life or death.Inside the operating room, Miranda and Raymond completed the final checks. When Mike’s hospital bed was wheeled in, Miranda forced herself not to look at him too closely. If she focused on how gaunt he had become, she knew she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from crying. And right now, what she needed most was to stay calm.The ligh
