"Do you have a solution?" Silas asked.Miranda said, "First, we must recover the deleted experimental data and check the deletion records. We can then determine when the data was deleted and figure out who was in the laboratory at that moment."He responded, "That sounds good, but who will recover t
At 8:00 pm, Paul treated everyone to late-night snacks. As soon as they sat down, Sandy said enthusiastically, "This place has the best and most affordable skewers. Miranda, you have to try their signature spicy beef skewers. I ordered a few extra for you." Silas sat beside Miranda and poured juic
"Even though Dr. Quinton, Sandy, and Dr. Jefferson are all focused on Miranda, I'm not. In my eyes, there's only you. I will always stand by your side and treat you as the most important person in my life," Bryan said earnestly.He added, "I really, really like you. Please give me a chance to protec
Miranda and Paul walked along the riverbank. Neon signs were flickering on both sides. The bustling city suddenly seemed to quiet down, giving Miranda a sense that time had slowed altogether. They strolled side by side in a gentle silence that wasn't awkward, but rather harmonious. It was as if jus
"After every failure, my dad and I would reflect on our mistakes and find a more hidden spot, but my mom would find it every time without fail. It was like she had a camera on her."Miranda then paused after noticing Paul hadn't spoken in a while. "Dr. Jefferson, are you listening?"She turned her h
Miranda paused midstep. "Sandy, Dr. Quinton, why are you both staring at me like that? Is there something wrong?" she asked.Sandy and Silas had been waiting for her to ask that very question!"Miranda, could I ask you for a favor?""What kind of favor?"Sandy explained, "I've got two sets of data h
The instructor called on Ingrid directly, waking her up to answer a question. But Ingrid hadn't been paying attention, so unsurprisingly, she couldn't respond correctly. The other students merely glanced at her, their looks filled with obvious mockery.Ingrid's irritation was visible. She loved des
Ingrid did want to please Evelyn, but she also had a baby in her belly—what was there to be afraid of? With that thought, Ingrid could no longer hold back and snapped back at Evelyn. "So what if I bought a couple of bags? Can't I treat myself a little? Those classes are boring and tedious."To be h
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
That night, Paul and Miranda were resting against the headboard on the bed after washing up. One was reading a book, while the other was scrolling on her phone when they started discussing the matter. Miranda asked, "So, the Lancets decided to let it go just like that?"Paul replied, "What else? Th
By the end, Yolanda was nearly shouting. Alex met her gaze directly and shattered her denial with the calmest tone he could muster, "The DNA test report confirmed it. He is indeed my son.""You… you…" Yolanda couldn't even form a coherent sentence. It took her a long time to steady herself. She to
