Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 1441 - Bab 1450

In several of the videos, Felix sat in one of the lab chairs, quietly watching Eugene work.In the footage, Eugene could have seemed cold and distant toward Felix, almost dismissive at times. But Felix had never once mentioned it to Miranda.Miranda drew a shaky breath and tipped her head back, trying to force the tears from her eyes.Then she saw someone.Her eyes were swollen and still blurred with tears, but she recognized him immediately.Under the setting sun, a tall, familiar figure stood at the far end of the lawn.He was walking toward her.Felix.His suit jacket was draped over one arm, and he wore a dark dress shirt. He looked exhausted from the long trip, but his stride was steady and determined.Miranda stood frozen, watching him come closer.The evening breeze stirred her hair and made her look even paler.She had never expected him to arrive so quickly.Felix stopped in front of her.He looked at the redness in her eyes, the tear tracks still on her face, and

Felix didn’t deny it. He simply nodded.Miranda closed her eyes. Everything was suddenly starting to make sense, leaving her face drained of color.When she opened her eyes again, she looked straight at him.“The lab in Danesia, who did you really build it for?” she asked. “Was it for your mother’s illness, or for my father’s research?”A complicated expression crossed Felix’s face, as though he had expected her to ask.He crouched in front of her, looking up at her from where she sat.Miranda held his gaze, waiting for the truth.“At first, I only had the idea of building a lab,” Felix said quietly. “I mentioned it to your father and asked for his advice. My father had just passed away then. Three days after that conversation, I was in a car accident and fell into a coma.”Miranda knew what had happened next better than anyone.When Eugene told her Felix had fallen into a coma, her thoughts had been a mess. She took a leave of absence from school to care for him in the hospit

He had brought Gibson Corporation into the brain-computer interface program, transferred the core technology to the military, and kept only the civilian applications.It all spoke to the kind of vision he had.In light of everything he had done, Miranda could no longer see him only through the ways he had hurt her.He was human, not perfect. He made mistakes. He had fears, weaknesses, and emotions he did not always know how to handle.Love and responsibility, calculation and protection, all of those contradictions existed within him.Their marriage had been tangled up in too many things from the beginning. It had carried too much fear, too many secrets, and too much responsibility.How could something built under that kind of pressure ever have been simple or perfect?But tonight, the tangled threads of their lives finally seemed to be coming loose, one by one.“So the real reason you invested so much in leukemia research was to save me?”Miranda’s eyes filled again.Felix re

Miranda had met James privately in Merika before. They got along well and stayed in touch online.At the time, James was the only man she felt comfortable venting to.She remembered one occasion when she missed her flight home. Felix had already flown back with Mia. Miranda explained that she had taken a day trip with a friend and lost track of time.When she finally got home, Felix was sitting silently on the couch. His expression was dark, and the room was heavy with the tension he carried whenever something was bothering him.Miranda pressed her lips together.Felix was proud, and he had a habit of keeping things to himself.She had once spoken to a therapist about it. The therapist had told her that people who seemed almost too emotionally controlled could struggle to share their feelings. In close relationships, they might come across as distant or detached, often leaving their partners feeling ignored or unimportant.Felix did have that tendency.When Miranda first marrie

Miranda froze. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.“I’m sorry,” Felix said with a bitter, self-mocking smile. “My feelings got the better of me back then, and I handled it badly.”“So you used Xena to provoke me?” Miranda asked. “Why didn’t you just ask me directly?”Felix held her gaze. Sunlight caught in his eyes as he gave a faint smile.“If we could go back, I would ask you directly.”Miranda smiled too.“No, you wouldn’t. I wouldn’t have asked you either.”Neither of them would have had the courage to confront the other. They would have relied on guesses, let their fears grow, and hurt themselves in silence until they finally gave up on the marriage.Felix’s smile softened with regret and understanding.“You’re right.”Back then, they had both been afraid that asking the question would only confirm the answer they dreaded most.“But I’m glad we can sit here now and talk about the past calmly,” Felix said. “It gives me the chance to admit how badly I handled thing
