At this moment, Mike was openly presenting himself as Miranda’s boyfriend. He couldn’t see her expression, but she didn’t object. That alone felt like tacit consent.Felix was seated by the window, in the same row as Miranda. His gaze drifted in their direction, dark and unreadable.After sitting down, Mike gave Miranda a quick wink. She smiled back helplessly. If he wanted to switch seats, he needed a reasonable excuse, and this was the easiest one.Xena turned slightly in her seat to glance back at Felix. He was looking out the window, his sharp profile half-lit, his jawline visibly tense. She withdrew her gaze, her expression tightening.From what she knew of Felix, he was proud. In relationships, he was used to being the one in control, the one who decided everything. He had never been the type to change himself for anyone, let alone Miranda.Yet even as she thought about it, she bit her lip. Her emotions were tangled and unsettled. Somewhere along the way, too many things had

A short while later, the same server from earlier brought Miranda a glass of lemon water. She glanced at it but didn’t take it.Throughout the entire meal, Miranda never touched the water. Felix clearly noticed this as well, though there was no emotion visible on his face.When it was time to return to their rooms, Miranda walked ahead, chatting with Zion. He had been in a good mood earlier and had a couple of drinks, and now planned to go back to his room to rest.“Uncle Zion, get some good rest,” Miranda said to him.As she turned to head to her own room, Felix called out to her. “Miranda.”She stopped but did not turn around. Her profile was cool and distant. “Yes?”In the hallway, Felix’s features looked especially sharp under the lights. He frowned slightly. “At tonight’s dinner, it would be better if you kept some distance from Mike.”Miranda’s expression turned cold. “I don’t need you to remind me.”In a setting like that, she didn’t need his warning. She knew very well

Xena didn’t even have a title yet. Even if she felt jealous, she had no standing to speak of. That was why Sienna believed Felix should make it official first and hold the wedding later.Susan couldn’t help returning to what had just happened. Her expression turned serious. “In any case, don’t say things like that to Mia again. If anyone needs to talk to her about it, it should be Felix, not you. Don’t hurt her.”“Hmph. Then what about Miranda?” Sienna shot back. “She can go find Mia a new dad, but Felix can’t find her a new mom?”“Miranda is with Leo now?” Susan was startled. Had things really progressed that fast?Sienna felt deeply uncomfortable and said coldly, “When I say ‘new dad,’ I don’t mean just Leo. Who knows how many men she’s seeing.”Susan sighed. “Miranda is single now. How many people she dates is her own business.”“Then she shouldn’t keep ordering Felix around either,” Sienna said angrily. “He’s her ex-husband, not someone she can call over whenever she wants.”

“Dad,” Mike called out helplessly, though the smile at the corners of his eyes was impossible to hide.“All right, all right. I’ll stop,” Justin said with a hearty laugh. “Miranda, our family is not big on formalities. I’m leaving on a business trip tomorrow, but I’ve told Mike to bring you by the house for some tea while I'm away.”“Dad, just get to the point,” Mike said again, noticing how much pressure Miranda was clearly under.Justin nodded. “This is the situation. A close friend of mine’s wife has leukemia. He heard you’re in Hamilton and was hoping you could look over her medical data and offer some guidance.”Miranda nodded. “Of course. I can go see her tomorrow.”“I heard that half of your clinical trial participants have already shown signs of recovery, which is truly remarkable. My friend’s wife is actually using the new drug you developed, but he was hoping for a personal consultation if it isn't too much trouble.”“It’s no trouble at all,” Miranda replied. “I have ti

Xena read the message, frowned slightly, and replied, “Okay. Come pick me up tomorrow.” After that, she sent over the location of her hotel.Early the next morning, Miranda and Mike agreed to leave at eight to go to the military medical hospital. Miranda put on a coat and stepped out of her room. Mike was waiting for her on one of the sofas in the lobby.“You’re here,” he said, standing up to greet her.“Have you had breakfast?” Miranda asked.“I have. What about you?”“I ate too.”They chatted as they got into the car, and Mike started the engine and drove toward the hospital.When they arrived, the patient’s family members were already there. Miranda went straight into the attending physician’s office to discuss the case in detail.Mike stood outside the door. His attention was drawn to Miranda without him even realizing it. She was so young, yet seated among several senior experts, she carried herself with calm authority. The experts listened closely to her opinions.After
