Miranda was responsible for her own safety. There was no need to report her whereabouts to an outsider.The car drove steadily along the highway toward Hamilton. Outside the window, rows of tall trees rushed past, and the sky was beginning to lighten into a hazy gray.Miranda leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes, exhausted. The driver did not disturb her. He drove calmly and quietly.When they arrived at the hotel, the driver spoke respectfully. “Ms. Stone, I’ll bring your suitcase upstairs for you.”“That’s all right. Thank you,” Miranda replied politely.The man clearly looked like a professional chauffeur. He carried himself with quiet discipline. A sudden thought crossed her mind.Since Mike was stationed far away at the base, this driver he arranged must be someone from the Secretary of State's office. Could this person actually be Justin’s personal driver?The realization left Miranda slightly overwhelmed. After checking into the hotel, she saw that it was alre

Fiona stole a few more glances at him, a quiet thought forming in her mind. If she ever met a man with that kind of presence and status, she would never hesitate.Unfortunately, she didn’t even move in circles where someone like him existed.Miranda, on the other hand, had always had easier access. Eugene’s network ran deep through academic communities at home and abroad. That was where Fiona knew she could never compete. Having a father who was a nationally recognized academician made all the difference.Time dragged on. By nearly one in the afternoon, no one had the appetite for lunch. The waiting was draining, both physically and emotionally.Miranda had barely slept since receiving the call the night before. She had eaten almost nothing that morning. Between exhaustion and anxiety, her body finally gave out. When she stood up to get a cup of water, a wave of dizziness hit her. Her vision darkened instantly.The hallway seemed to spin. Her body swayed.A strong arm caught her

“I just ran into Ms. Gibson in the lobby. She said she’s coming up to see you.”Xena paused, a faint smirk touching her lips.A knock sounded at the door. Xena didn’t respond, but a second later Sienna pushed the door open and walked in.She was about to speak when she noticed Xena staring intently at something on her phone. Curious, she stepped lightly toward the bedside, planning to tease her.“Xena, what are you looking at?”Startled, Xena dropped her phone onto the blanket and quickly reached for it, trying to shield the screen.“Sienna, don’t look.”Sienna hadn’t planned to, but that only made her more curious. “What is it that I’m not allowed to see?”As Xena picked up the phone, the video was still playing. Sienna caught a glimpse of Miranda falling into a man’s arms and snatched the phone right out of Xena’s hand. She restarted the clip and watched it from beginning to end, a look of pure disgust flashing in her eyes.“Don’t tell Felix,” Xena said quickly as she took t

It was true. If someone brought Hayden a vague, out-of-context video and claimed Xena was involved with another man, his first reaction would be disbelief.Putting himself in Leo’s shoes, he realized that Leo felt the exact same way about Miranda.Hayden cleared his throat. “Leo, I’m sorry. I spoke out of line.”Leo shook his head. “Who sent you the video?”Hayden pressed his lips together and said nothing.Leo seemed to understand. “Next time, don’t be so impulsive. You can’t judge everything by what’s on the surface.”A wave of helplessness washed over Hayden. Noticing Leo reaching for his coat, he asked, “Where are you going?”“To Hamilton.”Leo slipped on his jacket and headed for the door.He had to go. Whether Miranda needed him or not, and no matter who else was by her side, he couldn’t just sit back now that he knew.“Isn’t that guy named Mike already with her? She’ll be fine,” Hayden called after him.“I have to see for myself,” Leo said without turning back. “I won

Felix also fell silent, his gaze fixed on the operating room doors across from them, his thoughts unreadable.Just then, footsteps echoed from the elevator lobby again. Someone else had arrived.Leo appeared around the corner, looking slightly travel-worn. He walked toward them with his suit jacket draped over his arm, urgency and concern written across his face.When he saw the three people seated along the row of chairs, his steps slowed for a brief moment. Then he continued forward naturally.“Miranda. Felix.” He nodded toward Mike. “Mr. Lloyd.”His gaze settled on Miranda again. She looked pale, but she seemed all right. He let out a quiet breath of relief.“Leo, you’re here,” Felix said, lifting a brow.“Mr. Lincoln,” Mike greeted him calmly.Miranda was the most surprised of all. She looked at Leo, not expecting him to actually come.“Why are you here?” she asked, rising to her feet. She had thought he would send a concerned text at most. She hadn’t expected him to fly a
