Felix stopped at the door. His back stiffened slightly, and he didn’t answer right away.“Tell me,” Leo pressed, his chest rising and falling more heavily now. “Are you trying to win her back?”Felix slowly turned around, his eyes landing on Leo’s face. “Does it matter that much?”Leo met his gaze. A bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “It matters a lot to me.”Then he took a deep breath. “Felix, if you’ve decided to get back together with her, then treat her right. Stop doing things that hurt her. But if that’s not what you want...”He paused, and when he spoke again, there was almost a note of pleading in his voice.“Then can you give someone else a chance?”Felix looked at Leo slumped on the couch, looking miserable, and spoke slowly.“Leo, Miranda already likes someone.”Leo’s head jerked up.Felix’s voice stayed low and calm, but the words cut even deeper.“And it’s not you.”Pain flashed through Leo’s bloodshot eyes. “It’s him? It’s Mike, isn’t it?”Feli

It made her cast Miranda as the villain. And because Miranda had become a stay-at-home wife after marriage, Sienna assumed she was the kind of woman who only cared about comfort and an easy life. That made her look down on her even more.In the shadow of the perfect Xena, Miranda had appeared to Sienna as nothing more than an ordinary housewife. In her mind, Miranda was lazy, unmotivated, and only knew how to live off the title of Mrs. Gibson, taking money year after year.Only now did she realize that after getting married, Miranda had not only raised Mia, but had also kept growing. Back then, Sienna had mocked her for staying home and reading novels to pass the time. The truth was that Miranda had actually been studying medicine.The more Sienna thought back on the awful things she had done, the more ashamed she felt. She had been trapped in her own prejudice and arrogance all along.Not only had she misjudged Miranda, she had also treated her horribly.She remembered the pool p

Sienna couldn’t make sense of it. There was too much she couldn’t make sense of. But one thing she knew for sure was that Felix had always treated Xena very well.Xena had flaunted countless gifts from Felix before, and honestly, even Sienna had been jealous.The limited-edition handbags. The Ferrari. The huge villa. And the way Felix had always supported and spoiled Xena.If that was not love, then what was?Sienna let out a sigh.Just then, she spotted Miranda standing nearby, giving instructions to a nurse.Without thinking, Sienna walked over and called out, “Miranda.”“What is it?” Miranda turned to look at her.“Miranda, I know I did a lot of awful things to you before. Like what happened at the pool. I never should have tricked you into going, and because of me, you ended up falling into the water by accident. It was the middle of winter, and you ended up in that freezing pool...”Miranda frowned, her expression cooling. “I didn’t fall into the pool by accident that day

Felix simply stood off to the side, one hand in his pocket, tall and straight, his gaze fixed on the blood draw.More than anything, his presence felt like silent supervision.Ten minutes later, the door to the blood draw room opened. A nurse helped Xena out. Her face was a little pale, and there was a fragile air about her. Felix came out after her, one hand still in his pocket.“Felix, can I rest for a bit before I leave?” Xena clearly had no intention of going right away.“The car is ready. Go home and rest,” Felix replied curtly, brushing past her without a second glance as he headed in the opposite direction.“Ms. Spencer, we can walk you out,” one of the nurses said gently.Xena’s frail posture straightened at once. She turned to the nurse, her voice sharp. “No need. I can leave on my own.”The nurses caught the look of open disdain on her face and immediately backed off.Clutching her bag, Xena headed for the elevators leading to the lobby. She smoothed her long hair, st

The Gibson estate was quiet, but everything about it was grand and luxurious. The staff kept the place spotless.Mia played by herself while Mrs. Gibson Sr. and Miranda sat on the couch drinking tea.“I said I wanted to go see Susan, but Felix told me not to wear myself out,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said with a sigh. She was clearly still being kept in the dark. “What kind of illness is it, anyway? It’s been so long, and she still hasn’t come home.”Miranda comforted her gently. “Grandma, don’t worry too much. Medicine is much more advanced now. She’ll be okay.”Mrs. Gibson Sr. looked at Miranda and smiled. “Well, I’ve got a genius doctor sitting right in front of me, don’t I? I’m not worried. I just miss having more people around the house.”After saying that, she asked, “What have you been busy with lately? Are you still at the same lab?”“Yes, I am,” Miranda said, instinctively keeping certain things to herself. Mrs. Gibson Sr. was getting up in years, and Miranda didn’t want her unde
