But Miranda didn't exist in Felix’s eyes. Even if she had torn out her own heart and handed it to him, he would have remained completely indifferent.“Come on,” Miranda said generously. “Dinner’s on me tonight.”“Then I won’t hold back.”They stepped into the elevator just as it rose from the parking garage. The doors slid open—And the two of them froze.Standing inside were Felix and Xena.Xena lifted her hand to cover her red lips. Whether it was the lighting or Miranda’s imagination, Felix’s lips also looked slightly flushed.It was as if the two of them had just been locked in a heated kiss.Sophie quickly tugged Miranda aside. “Mr. Gibson, you go ahead. We’re waiting for someone else.”Felix’s eyes lingered on Miranda before the doors slid shut, carrying him and Xena upward.Sophie huffed. “Seriously? The two of them can’t just get a room? Do they have to rub it in our faces? Let’s eat somewhere else.”Miranda crossed her arms. “Fine.”They chose another restaurant ne

When Dr. Lewis held Miranda’s transcript in his hands—eight core subjects, with an average score of ninety-eight—he adjusted his glasses and carefully double-checked the results. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.He immediately dialed a number. “Send me Miranda’s exam papers. I want to review them myself.”That afternoon, her papers were delivered to his desk. He sipped his tea, then picked one up for a closer look. Every answer was in Miranda’s handwriting, and each one was nearly flawless.“Eugene, how on earth did you raise a daughter like this?” Dr. Lewis murmured in awe. Then he picked up the phone to call his assistant again. “Have Dr. Liam come to my office.”“Right away.”Ten minutes later, Samantha pushed open his office door. “Dr. Lewis, you wanted to see me?”“Come here! You’re going to be stunned.”“Stunned by what?” she asked in surprise.“Miranda’s exam papers,” Dr. Lewis said, his voice full of excitement.Samantha froze. “The results are out already?”

Miranda glanced at the paper and smiled faintly. “What do you think, Dr. Liam?”If Miranda had failed the accelerated graduation exam, Samantha might have assumed this was one of Eugene’s unfinished works. But since Miranda had passed with stunning results, she could believe it was truly her own.Samantha studied the young woman before her. After Eugene’s wife passed away, Miranda had often been at his side. Samantha still remembered seeing her in Eugene’s lab, bent over her schoolwork, falling asleep at the desk when she got tired.There was a time when Samantha had imagined becoming her stepmother. But Eugene had rejected her, and she had lived with bitterness and resentment.In the end, she made peace with her past and devoted herself completely to research. Now Miranda stood before her—tall, radiant, and remarkably accomplished.“You did exceptionally well on your exam. Dr. Lewis and I both agree that you should go straight into graduate studies. What do you think?” Samantha a

Mrs. Young glanced at Felix as he came in behind his wife. Sensibly, she closed the door. It seemed the couple was at odds again.After a shower, Miranda replayed the moment when she had nearly been hit by a car. The thought still sent a chill down her spine. She couldn’t afford to be so reckless again.But Felix’s behavior tonight had truly infuriated her.*In the early hours, Leo drove to the downtown hospital, where Celine had been admitted for an old recurring illness.When he walked in, her nurse had just finished feeding her soup. Her complexion was pale, her body worn down. Age, coupled with her determination to run her business independently, had taken its toll.Looking at Leo, Celine sighed. She had once had a son of her own, but his love of extreme sports had cost him his life in the ocean. His body had never been recovered.After chatting for a few minutes, Celine said with regret, “I had hoped Miranda would join my research team, but she never came.”Leo’s gaze fli

Xena bit her lip, clutching her teacup with a stiff expression. She had been Mia’s very first piano teacher, yet now Mia didn’t even mention her.Looking at Mia with her adorable little chin raised, gazing at Miranda with such adoration, Xena cursed inwardly, “What an ungrateful little brat.”After lunch, the group wandered to a wide meadow beside the farm. The field was covered with blooming cosmos flowers, and across the way a natural waterfall cascaded down the rocks. It was the perfect backdrop for photos.Miranda took plenty of pictures of Mia and even a few selfies together.“Daddy, come take a picture!” Mia tugged on Felix’s arm, eager to pose with him.Felix held Mia as they faced Miranda’s camera. But Miranda ignored him, focusing only on Mia. She thought it was better not to include him at all than to end up deleting his pictures after the divorce.When Miranda walked away hand-in-hand with Mia, Xena stepped up with her phone. “Can you take a few for me?” she asked swee
