That night, Miranda tucked the divorce decree into a locked drawer. Mia had a habit of rummaging through things at home, and she couldn’t risk losing it.Holding her soft, sleepy daughter in her arms, Miranda finally felt at peace. Even her dreams that night were sweet.The next morning, a special case required her to visit a patient personally with Coco.At the downtown hospital, Miranda and Coco were just leaving after visiting a patient when Coco suddenly froze. Even with a mask on, the woman across the lobby was impossible to miss. Her figure and her poise made her the kind of beauty who turned heads without effort.Coco clapped a hand over her mouth. “Miranda, isn’t that Xena?”Miranda, pulled from her thoughts, followed her gaze. One glance was enough. It was her.When Coco noticed Xena walking straight toward the OB-GYN wing, her heart skipped. Could she be there for a prenatal checkup? The thought made her pulse quicken with curiosity.“You wait here. I’ll be right back,

The following afternoon, when Miranda and James arrived at DE for their meeting, they could feel that the atmosphere had shifted. Before, people could at least catch their breath between tasks. Now, every researcher had their head down, working with full intensity.Inside Ben’s office, the mood was just as heavy. He slid a file across the desk toward Miranda. “Ms. Stone, Mr. Gibson wants us to prioritize this area of research. He’s asked that you lead the team.”Miranda flipped through the pages, her brow gradually tightening. “This direction carries a lot of risk. It will require extensive experimentation.”“Mr. Gibson said resources won’t be an issue.” Ben gave her a meaningful look. “He seems to have a great deal of confidence in you.”Miranda closed the file. “Alright. I’ll do my best.”Back in the lab, she studied the document more closely. The project was a study on chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At present, stem cell transplants were the only path to a cure. Their current co

Miranda gently wiped Mia’s face while soothing her in soft tones.Mrs. Young came upstairs after hearing the commotion. Seeing Mia sobbing for Felix made her heart ache. She had once believed that no matter how Felix felt about Miranda, his love for Mia would be enough to keep their family together. Clearly, she had been wrong.“Mia, how about I take you to school today?” Mrs. Young offered kindly.“No! I want Daddy!” Mia crossed her little arms and pouted, her lip trembling.Miranda bit her lip hard before making a decision. She said gently, “How about this? Mommy will ask Daddy to pick you up today, alright?”“Then can Daddy come home for dinner with us too?”Miranda froze at Mia’s hopeful eyes. She couldn’t bring herself to refuse, so she nodded.Mia finally broke into a smile, nodding eagerly. “Okay!”After dropping Mia off at school, Miranda sat in the car for a long while before pulling out her phone. She hesitated, then finally dialed.“Hello.” Felix’s low voice came th

When it came to Felix’s love life, Miranda no longer cared. The only condition was that he shouldn’t flaunt it in front of Mia.Miranda had recently realized that Mia was no longer a three-year-old. She was becoming more aware and more sensitive.Clenching her fists, Miranda decided it was better to face the pain head-on. She would soon find the right moment to tell Mia the truth about the divorce.The next morning at nine, a red Ferrari pulled up in front of the kindergarten. Xena arrived on a Wednesday, having moved her usual Thursday class to that morning.“Aunt Xena, it’s you! Are you here to teach us piano today?” Mia’s eyes lit up as she ran over to greet her.“That’s right! Come here, let me give you a hug.”Xena was elegantly dressed and her makeup was flawless. Already strikingly beautiful, she had a way of charming every child in the room. They watched with envy as she lifted Mia into her arms with effortless affection.Mia’s wide eyes sparkled, and she could not hide

When Felix walked into the living room, Mrs. Young stepped forward and asked, “Sir, are you heading out?”“Mrs. Young, please take good care of my wife and Mia,” Felix said before striding toward the gate.Mrs. Young froze. Did he really say “my wife”? Weren’t they divorced? The way he said it almost sounded like concern.Miranda went to the study and closed her eyes wearily. The only person in this world who could truly affect her was Mia.With both her parents gone and no other close family left, it was just her and her daughter relying on each other.Mia was her entire world.A mother and daughter share a special bond. Whatever pain Mia felt seemed to double when it hit Miranda's heart.At five o’clock, Mia woke up and burst into tears again, insisting she wanted to see Felix. Miranda had no choice but to take her to the nearby mall, distracting her with toys.For the next two days, Miranda stayed home with Mia and did not return to the lab. Felix never appeared either, and
