When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 959

Chapter 0959 

Miranda asked, “Dr. Jefferson, why are you at the hospital?” 

Only then did Paul tear his gaze away from Sawyer. His eyes softened instantly when they landed on Miranda. “I…” 

At that moment, Silas walked up to them, clutching his stomach. He interjected and answered for Paul, “He’s here to accompany me.” 

Miranda’s gaze shifted to him, and she couldn’t help but be startled by his appearance. “Dr. Quinton, what’s wrong? You don’t look well.” 

“Ugh. I don’t know what I ate, but I’ve had an upset stomach since this morning. I took medicine, but it didn’t help at all. Paul insisted on dragging me to the hospital to get checked out for peace of mind.” 

Miranda nodded. “It’s important to get 

a proper check–up. It’s better to catch any underlying 

issues earlier. It’ll save you more trouble in the long run.” 

“Did you two coordinatè before this? You’re both saying exactly the same thing,” Silas exclaimed. 

Miranda raised an eyebrow and turned to Paul. “Is that so?” 

He met her gaze unflinchingly, with intense emotion swirling in his eyes. 

Suddenly, Sawyer spoke up, “Miranda, we should get going…” 

Miranda snapped back to reality and nodded. “Oh, alright. Dr. Jefferson, we’ll be leaving now.” 

With that, she walked off with Sawyer. 

Paul stood rooted to the spot, his eyes glued on their departing figures. The emotion in his gaze was unreadable. 

“Paul? Paul!” Silas called. 

Paul directed his attention to him. The lingering coldness in his gaze made Silas shiver as a chill ran down his spine. 

“You…‘ 

“She said ‘we.” 

“Huh?” Silas was confused. It took him a few seconds to get it. “Yeah, she did. So what? What else should she have said? You two? That wouldn’t be right either…” 

Paul’s face was expressionless. 

If she referred to Sawyer and herself as a collective noun, then what about him? What was he to her? 

Only now did Paul realize that Miranda always addressed him as “Dr. Jefferson“. She was polite and respectful but distant… There was no nt of Intimacy In her address. 

How did she address Sawyer? 

Mr. Jensen? Or was it… Sawyer? 

The more he thought about it, the darker his expression became. His gloomy mood lasted until he entered the consultation room with Silas, 

The doctor scribbled a prescription after asking about Silas‘ symptoms. Then, he turned to Paul. “And you? What symptoms do you have?” 

Paul answered, “I don’t have an upset stomach.” 

“Huh? Your complexion doesn’t look great. I’d recommend a full–body checkup for you.”
