“Come eat with us,” Miranda said, inviting him.Leo nodded.Out of the corner of her eye, Miranda glanced briefly in Felix’s direction, but she said nothing more. She turned and walked toward the lounge with Mike and Leo.Felix didn’t look offended or slighted. He simply watched the three of them leave, his gaze filled with emotions no one could quite read.Fiona bit down on her lip. Miranda seemed to be the center of gravity for all three men. Every move she made pulled at their attention.Fiona forced herself to sit back down. The feeling in her chest was unbearable.Inside the lounge, Miranda opened the takeout containers. There were at least four boxes. Pasta, a container of chicken and rice, a cup of oatmeal, and two large dinner rolls Layla had picked up in a paper bag. It was simple hospital cafeteria food, but it was filling.Mike tore one of the rolls in half and handed her a piece. “Eat something. If your body gives out, Dr. Liam won’t want to wake up and see you colla

Fiona’s heart skipped a beat as a wave of panic surged through her.Just then, the doors to the operating room swung open. An assistant doctor stepped out and said, “The patient is awake. We’re about to transfer her back to her room. You can head to the ward and wait there.”Everyone straightened at once, their tension easing. Miranda’s brows finally relaxed.“That’s wonderful.” Mary’s eyes turned red with emotion.They all made their way toward the ward. Mike naturally walked at Miranda’s side, while Felix and Leo followed behind them, calm and steady.Soon, the group gathered outside the VIP room to wait.A moment later, the nurses wheeled the hospital bed over. Samantha lay on it, her face pale, an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. Her mind still seemed foggy, but her eyes were open.“Samantha.” Mary rushed forward, her voice thick with tears.“Dr. Liam,” Fiona called out as she hurried to the bedside.Miranda didn’t step forward right away. The lead surgeon came ove

The pedestrian light turned green. Miranda glanced up and started walking forward. She was so exhausted that she didn’t notice Felix following a few steps behind her.At the intersection, Mike’s eyes remained fixed on Miranda until she vanished into the surging crowd. Behind him, several cars began to honk impatiently, though the driver directly behind him held back, deterred by the military license plate.A moment later, the army-green SUV accelerated and disappeared down the road.Soon after, a black Bentley drove past from behind. Leo’s assistant was at the wheel, heading in the opposite direction.“Mr. Lincoln, I’ve already booked a suite at—”“Cancel it. I want a room in the hotel directly across from the hospital,” Leo interrupted.The assistant froze for a second before responding, “Understood. I’ll check if they have their best room available.”“A standard room is fine,” Leo added from the back seat.“Yes, Mr. Lincoln,” the assistant replied quickly.Miranda walked int

“Alright. I’ll walk you back,” Felix said, his tone firm and leaving little room for argument.“That won’t be necessary,” Miranda refused immediately.The hotel was just across the street, and this was Hamilton. It was safe.Felix frowned. “I don’t want you fainting again halfway there with no one around to help you.”Miranda paused. It was true that she owed him this time. But she hated the feeling of having to rely on anyone, especially him.“There’s really no need,” she said more evenly. She felt more clear-headed now. She touched her forehead. The fever had gone down.As she walked out, Felix followed without hesitation. It was four in the morning, and the hospital grounds were nearly empty. The wind was strong and bitterly cold. Miranda was wearing a cashmere coat, but she was still shivering.Behind her, Felix shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.She felt the weight settle on her, along with the familiar scent of cedarwood. Almost immediately, sh

Samantha nodded with a smile. “Alright. We’ll leave it for another time.”Just then, Layla peeked her head in. “Dr. Liam, Mr. Gibson is here to see you.”Samantha smiled and nodded. “Please show him in.”A moment later, Layla led Felix inside. He had changed into a dark gray suit today. His presence wasn’t as sharp and imposing as usual. There was a trace of warmth about him instead.“Dr. Liam, are you feeling better?” he asked as he walked to the bedside, concern evident in his voice.“Much better. Thank you for thinking of me,” Samantha replied with a smile.“You’re a key pillar of our lab. We’re all hoping you recover quickly,” Felix said.Samantha’s eyes brightened. “You really didn’t have to make a special trip to Hamilton.”“It’s no trouble. It’s the least I could do,” Felix answered. His gaze drifted to Miranda, who was sitting beside the bed.Miranda stood up at that moment. “Dr. Liam, I’m going to speak with the lead surgeon and get an update.”“Alright. Go ahead,” S
