Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 631 - チャプター 640

“Watch out!”A figure lunged in from the side and shoved her out of the way. Miranda stumbled forward and dropped to her knees on the pavement. A heavy thud sounded directly behind her.Terrified, she whipped around. Three yards from where she had been standing, Leo was lying on his side on the ground. His arm had scraped across the asphalt, leaving a shocking trail of blood, and the sleeve of his suit jacket was torn wide open.“Leo!” Miranda didn’t even feel the pain in her knees as she scrambled toward him.The black sedan screeched to a stop. A young driver jumped out, pale and shaking. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to—I didn’t—” He crouched down, completely panicked.Leo pushed himself halfway upright, clutching his left arm. He looked up at Miranda. “Are you okay?”She stared at the blood soaking through his torn jacket, and her heart twisted painfully. In that split second, he had shoved her out of the path of the car and taken the full impact himself. He had bee

Hayden sent another message. “Xena, when are you coming back? Do you want me to fly over and keep you company?”“No need. I’ll be back in two days,” Xena replied.Hayden stared at the message, and a wave of disappointment washed over him. He knew Xena only wanted the person she cared about at her side.He pushed those thoughts aside and looked up, just in time to see Miranda finish feeding Leo. He knocked on the door and walked in with a smile. “Looks like I came at the wrong time.”Miranda turned around when she heard his voice. Leo glanced at the clock and said to her, “You should head back to the kids. Hayden can stay with me.”Miranda nodded. “Alright.”“At eight-thirty, my driver will come pick up Vivian,” Leo said.“Okay. Get some rest. I’ll come see you again tomorrow,” Miranda said. She picked up her bag, gave Hayden a brief nod, and left.Hayden’s smile tightened. Ever since their private conversation the last time, Miranda had kept her distance from him. He regrette

The two of them spent the quiet afternoon in the hospital room reading, occasionally talking about work.Around two o’clock, Miranda started to feel sleepy. She rested her head on her hand, her eyes half-closed, when the door suddenly swung open.Felix walked in first, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a chill from outside. His gaze paused on Miranda for two seconds before shifting to Leo on the bed. “How’s the injury?”Before Miranda could respond, Xena stepped in behind him. She wore a beige cashmere coat and held a bouquet of flowers. The moment she saw Miranda, her steps noticeably faltered. Hayden came in last, and he froze for a few seconds when he saw Miranda there. He had assumed that if they came at this hour, she would already be gone.Felix had rushed straight from the airport to the hospital. It was obvious he was worried about Leo’s condition.Xena looked at Leo, who lay on the bed with a cast on his arm. “Leo, I heard you were injured. Felix and I came to se

“Don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep an eye on the driver. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know,” Leo said gently. He added, “You should also ask Keith to arrange a few people to watch over your daily travel, just to be safe.”“Alright. I’ll have him bring in security,” Miranda agreed. It was better to be cautious than regret it later.For six days straight, Miranda visited Leo every morning and stayed until afternoon. On the seventh day, when she walked into the room, Leo was scheduled to be discharged. She opened the door and found Felix and Hayden already inside, the two of them in the middle of a conversation with Leo.When Miranda stepped in, the room fell silent. Felix’s eyes darkened almost imperceptibly as he looked at her.“Good morning, Miranda,” Hayden greeted.“Morning,” she replied.“We’re here to be with Leo when he gets discharged,” Hayden added.Miranda nodded and placed the breakfast she brought on the bedside table. She naturally walked to Leo’s side. “I’l

Mia had been a high-needs baby from the day she was born. She almost never let anyone else hold her. During those months, Miranda barely slept and hardly ate. Even with both a nanny and a postpartum helper, she could not bring herself to hand Mia over. The moment someone else picked her up, Mia would scream until her tiny face turned bright red.She recognized Miranda’s scent instantly. Anyone else could only hold her for a few minutes before she began squirming and crying. Even when Felix tried to take her, Miranda refused. The entire period left her stretched thin and constantly on edge.Outside, the rain began again, tapping softly against the windows. Miranda drifted into those memories until Gigi padded down the hallway and nudged her knee with its nose. Gigi’s big eyes lifted toward Miranda as if it could sense something was wrong.Miranda reached down and stroked it gently. Gigi had become more perceptive with age. People often joked that she had the intelligence of a seven
