Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 841 - Bab 850

“Of course it can be treated.” Miranda immediately reached for Samantha’s hand, her voice steady but urgent. “Have the results come back yet?”“I just finished the CT scan. I’m waiting on the report.” Samantha forced a small smile. “It’s not as dramatic as it sounds. It was caught early. The odds are much better.”Miranda knew she was putting on a brave face. As a medical professional, Samantha understood better than anyone how aggressive pancreatic cancer could be.Miranda sat beside her, flipping through the other test documents. Layla, standing nearby, was glancing up and down the corridor. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She tugged at Miranda’s sleeve and whispered, “Dr. Stone, isn’t that Mr. Gibson?”Miranda looked up.At the far end of the hallway, Felix was walking toward them with Xena at his side. Xena’s manager and assistant followed closely behind, along with Gavin. With that many people clustered around them, they were impossible to miss.Miranda frowned. A strip of whi

Miranda jerked her wrist free, her eyes turning ice-cold. “Felix, please have some self-respect.”His hand froze midair. His Adam’s apple bobbed once. “Just five minutes.”“I wouldn’t waste even one.” She turned to leave.“As far as I know,” Felix said quietly, “Dr. Williams from Merika is one of the leading authorities on pancreatic cancer. I’d like to fly him to Atlantis City to consult on Dr. Liam’s case. Another expert means another possible treatment plan.”Miranda finally looked up. Staying current with medical journals, she knew exactly how prestigious the expert Felix mentioned was. Having him lead a consultation would undoubtedly increase the odds of success.“Pancreatic cancer is known as the king of cancers for a reason,” Felix continued quietly. “I hope you’ll agree with me.”Miranda hesitated.She was deeply worried about Samantha’s condition.“How soon can you get him here?”“Next Monday at the earliest.”“Fine.” Miranda gave him a cool, level look. Felix seem

Gavin held his phone, sensing the unusual silence on the other end. Felix, who was normally swift and decisive, did not issue a single instruction.“Mr. Gibson, would you like me to—” Gavin ventured carefully.“That won’t be necessary,” Felix said, his voice as calm as ever. “Let Hayden stay with her. You can come back.”After the call ended, Gavin stood there for a few seconds, stunned. In the past, any time Xena felt unwell, Felix would personally follow up without hesitation.Then again, Hayden and Xena had always been close friends. Felix was likely just comfortable with the arrangement.*In the hospital room, Hayden watched Xena pick at her food. She was eating slowly, clearly without much appetite.“Is it not to your taste?” he asked. “I can have something else sent over.”“It’s not the food,” Xena replied softly. She set down her utensils. “I just don’t feel like eating.”“You need the nutrition right now,” Hayden said with a frown. “Try to eat a little more.”Xena sm

Miranda took the menu, her fingers tightening slightly around the edge. She lowered her gaze and flipped through the pages, deliberately avoiding the presence of Felix beside her.She ordered two light dishes, then slid the menu across the table to Felix.He added four more, all similarly mild and easy on the stomach.“Felix,” Samantha asked, “how is the civilian project coming along?”“It’s fully under James’s direction now,” Felix replied, lifting his cup. “He has full authority over all decisions.”Samantha nodded. “He’s the right person to lead it.”“The civilian project was able to move forward,” Felix said, his eyes drifting to Miranda’s profile, “largely because of the groundwork Dr. Stone laid early on.”“It was just part of my job,” Miranda said evenly.Sensing the tension, Samantha shifted the topic. “By the way, Miranda, Mia is in elementary school already, isn’t she?”“She’ll start next September,” Miranda replied with a faint smile.“How time flies,” Samantha sai

Miranda’s fingers paused slightly. She looked at Mia, her voice softening but remaining firm.“Mia, Great-Grandma is getting older. She might have misspoke.”Mia tilted her head, her lips puckering. “But Great-Grandma said I’m Daddy’s only daughter.”Mrs. Young felt her heart race as she listened. If Mia truly believed that so firmly, she would only be hurt in the future. After all, Felix and Xena were close to getting married. In a few years, they would likely have children of their own.She quickly changed the subject. “Mia, look how fresh these strawberries are. Try one and see if it’s sweet.”Mia immediately picked one up and took a bite. “It’s so sweet!”Miranda let out a quiet sigh. When had Mrs. Gibson Sr. said something like that to Mia? She would need to have a talk with her. Mia shouldn’t grow up holding on to expectations that might never come true.Miranda had no intention of letting Mia fight for the Gibson fortune.“Mia,” she said softly, “when you grow up, Mommy
