Tilting her head, Miranda tried to imagine. Her lack of imagination limited the images she could see in her mind, but she was less nervous after listening to Dave.In the afternoon when the water was warmer, she and Winter could finally go underwater.There were two types of wetsuits, the one-piece
At that thought, Miranda turned and started to swim as hard as she could.The fishes around her sensed her panic and dispersed. Clenching her jaws, she looked back and saw the shark had started to give chase. It was very fast.She looked around and noticed there were corals everywhere. However, ther

Miranda looked around her. The silence in the dark room was deafening.Thank god it was just a dream…However, she couldn't stop gasping for air. It was like she had just been rescued from the ocean and desperately needed fresh air.The wind chimes at the entrance let out a clear clink as the night
Miranda took a quick look at the business card. It was Simon Chaffey—Senior Partner at Summit Legal Group and the Coopers' top attorney. She bit her lip, tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and thanked him again.The Coopers had the best legal team in the country, and their help had saved
Hansel took great satisfaction in being needed and knowing he occupied a special place in someone's mind. It was something Miranda could never offer him. Even so, when he finally got together with Ingrid, he sensed something was amiss. Though, he couldn't quite figure out what it was.He made his w
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav

The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
Winter soon ended her call with Miranda, feeling dejected. She tossed and turned in bed, an uneasy creeping up within her. Suddenly, she sat up. "Why do I feel like I got tricked?"Meanwhile, Miranda hummed a tune after the call. Feeling good, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she
As Miranda and Paul reached the apartment building, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep touching your head?"Instinctively, Paul rubbed his head again. "Tsk, that kid pulled really hard. I bet he yanked out a few strands of hair.""Yanked?" Miranda was puzzled. Paul nodded. "It felt a littl
Miranda nodded. "Alright. How about I trade the stuffed toys for you?"Austin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me?""Yes.""No way! Human trafficking is illegal!"Miranda retorted, "This isn't trafficking. It's a prize, so no money is involved.""It's still not allowed!""Why not?"Austin spoke cl
