When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0963

More than a year ago, Miranda borrowed Paul’s experimental physics lab, where she met Silas, Sandy, and the rest of the team. Over the course of a few months, they went from strangers to close colleagues and friends.

One day, Silas noticed how unusually fast Miranda was processing the experimental data. Curious, he asked her about it and discovered she was skilled in programming.

She had even developed a small application to help organize their data, with features for classification and sorting across multiple dimensions.

Amazed by her ingenuity, Silas couldn’t help but call her a genius. So, he quickly asked her to create a similar program for their team, and she did. The result was a huge boost in their data management efficiency.

Whenever Silas used the program, he would often remark, “We couldn’t have done this without Miranda.”

Yesterday, the program suddenly crashed. Bryan tried to fix it, but he only made it worse. No one dared to touch it after that, so they had no choice but to ask Miranda for help.

“Do you have time today?” Paul asked. “If not, we can wait a couple of days…

But Silas was more direct. “Eswear… I’ll lose it right now if you don’t get Miranda here.”

He had been to the hospital the day before for medication. It had helped initially, but his stomach started acting up again that night.

When he arrived at the lab that morning, he had to rush to the restroom. By unofficial count, he went six times in a few hours. His words were laced with urgency.

Miranda replied, “I have time. I’ll head over now.”

“Great, I’ll meet you at the campus gate,” Paul said.
