All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 921 - Chapter 930

“That’s impossible. You’re lying to me. I’m fine. How could I have a genetic disease? Mom’s fine too. She just has chest pains. It’s an old issue.”Sienna’s face drained of color. Panic clawed its way through her denial. All she wanted was to be normal.But her body betrayed her. She was trembling.Felix gripped her shoulders and firmly guided her back down onto the sofa, forcing her to sit. His gaze was unyielding, hard as stone.“Sienna. If you want to live, you need to calm down.”Dr. Smith spoke gently from the side. “Ms. Gibson, have you been feeling unusually fatigued lately? Weak? Loss of appetite? Unexplained bruising?”Sienna sucked in a sharp breath. Every symptom he listed applied to her. Just yesterday she had noticed a dark bruise on her calf. She had assumed she bumped into something.“Isn’t that just from staying up late? Or being stressed?” she tried weakly.Dr. Smith’s voice was steady but firm. “I’m very sorry. You’re already showing early-stage symptoms of th

A week later, Mayor Lloyd hosted his annual charity gala. Political and business leaders, along with top figures from all walks of life, were invited.Miranda was among them. She had no real interest in events like this, but Mrs. Lloyd had called her privately to invite her in person, so Miranda could hardly refuse.At six o’clock that evening, Miranda chose a simple black evening gown with impeccable tailoring. She loosely pinned up her long hair, put on light makeup, and headed out.The ballroom of the most luxurious hotel in the city center was a picture of pure extravagance.Miranda arrived with Keith. Two weeks ago, Miranda had promoted him to CEO of the Moutin Hotel, putting him fully in charge of all the businesses under her name. By now, Keith had already earned a reputation as one of the rising stars of the business world.He had just turned forty, had graduated from one of the country’s top business schools, and possessed sharp business instincts and strong investment ju

Xena took a step forward, tilting her chin up slightly as a smug smile played on her lips. “Don’t be so cold, Miranda. I just thought there’s something I should tell you ahead of time, so you won’t be too shocked.”Then, with an unmistakable hint in her tone, she added, “So you don’t keep holding on to unrealistic fantasies about someone you shouldn’t be hoping for.”Miranda looked at her coolly. “Then just say it. I’m busy.”Xena let out a soft laugh. With studied casualness, she toyed with a large diamond ring on her finger. Her voice was slow and unhurried, but edged with malice. “What I mean is, Felix and I may have some good news soon. I’m not sure whether he’s mentioned it to you.”Miranda’s brow knit slightly. Was Xena testing the waters of her relationship with Felix? Or was she trying to fish for whether Felix had revealed her identity as the donor? Since Miranda had already promised Felix she would keep that secret, she naturally intended to keep her word.“I have no i

By the middle of the gala, Miranda decided to leave Keith there to keep socializing while she headed out first.Before leaving, she went over to say goodbye to Mayor Lloyd. He looked at her and smiled slightly. “Miranda, please be a little patient with Mike at work.”Miranda paused for a moment. She didn’t quite understand what he meant, but with so many guests around, she didn’t think too much about it. She simply smiled and nodded to show she understood.Just as Miranda was about to leave the ballroom, a voice called out behind her.“Miranda, heading out already?”Leo made his way over through the crowd. Miranda nodded. “Yes, I need to get back.”“I had a few drinks tonight. Would you mind giving me a ride?” There was a hint of quiet appeal in Leo’s eyes.Since they lived in the same neighborhood, it was on the way anyway.“You’re not staying a little longer?” Miranda asked.“No, I’m heading back too,” Leo said. After all, he had a child at home.Miranda nodded. “All right.

Miranda immediately turned her face away, lifted a hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and tried to steady her emotions.Felix looked at her in silence, his deep eyes unreadable. His gaze lingered on her profile as she stubbornly wiped away her tears, and he asked hoarsely, “Did something happen to Mike?”Miranda didn’t answer.Felix straightened and walked toward her, pulling a handkerchief from his suit pocket and holding it out to her. “Here. Use this.”Miranda didn’t take it. She simply walked past him toward her front door.Behind her, Felix’s hand stiffened as he retracted it. He watched her slender, defiant figure, his expression darkening under the hallway light, his features pulled tight with tension.Miranda pushed the door open, and Mia came running over happily. “Mom.”Then she saw Felix behind her, and her eyes lit up. “Dad, you came too!”With that, she darted past Miranda and threw herself into Felix’s arms. Holding Mia, Felix asked softly, “Did you miss me?”
