When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 657

Chapter 0657

At Elgerson’s Infinity Lab, Miranda stood at her station, rechecking the data for the third time. Sebastian and Madison exchanged a glance, feeling like something was definitely off.

“Miranda, did you not get enough rest last night? You seem distracted today,” Madison asked.

Miranda sighed. “I don’t know what’s going on. My eyes have been twitching all day; I just can’t seem to shake this feeling.”

“Which eye?”

“Both.”

Madison gave her a sympathetic look. That’s… not good.”

At noon, Miranda took a short nap, hoping it would calm her nerves. But the twitching wouldn’t stop, as though something bad was looming on the horizon.

By evening, after verifying all her data, Miranda finally stretched, “Done at last.”

Madison said, “I’m just about wrapped up, too. How about you, Seb?”

“I’m all set.”

“Great! Let’s grab dinner tonight–my treat!” Madison cheered.

Miranda waved her off. “You two go ahead. I’m exhausted and just want to go home and get some rest.”

Madison nodded understandingly. “Alright, Miranda. Get some good sleep tonight.”

“Thanks. I will, Miranda replied as she headed out. During the cab ride home, Miranda nearly dazed off until her phone rang suddenly, jolting her awake.

“Hello? Dad?”

“Mimi, your mom’s been hurt. Come home as soon as you can!”

“What? Mom’s hurt? How? What happened?”
