Chapter 1032

Eleanor leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh. Sunlight streamed

through the blinds, casting patterns on her desk. The young girl who had once resolutely given up her studies for love was now being recognized time and again by the scientific community.

Just then, her phone chimed with a notification.

Eleanor glanced at it. It was a message from lan: “I saw the list of award

recipients from the National Academy of Sciences. Congratulations p>

Eleanor put her phone down. Soon, another message came through. She thought

it was from lan again, but it was from Mansfield Ellington. “How about we grab a

meal after the National Academy of Sciences award ceremony p>

Eleanor was taken aback. Was he already back in the country? The ceremony wasn’t until next Friday.

She replied, “Are you back p>

“Not yet, but I’ll make it back around the time of your ceremony. I promise I’ll see you in Kingston,” Mansfield replied instantly.

At that moment, Eleanor didn’t notice a tall, slender figure standing outside her office door, watching her through the glass wall.

He saw her looking down at her phone, the corners of her lips turning up in a light, happy smile—a bright expression he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Whose message could make her look like that?

lan glanced down at his own phone. He knew he’d get a notification if a message came in, but he still looked expectantly. The screen was quiet, with no new messages.

lan’s gaze fell on Eleanor’s slender fingers as she quickly typed a reply to someone, the smile never leaving her face.

Just then, a nurse delivering some files asked him in surprise, “Mr. Goodwin, aren’t you going in p>

lan pulled his gaze away and took a shallow breath. “No p>

He took one last look at the woman in the office and turned to leave.

The nurse knocked on Eleanor’s door. After getting a response, she entered, placed a file on the desk, and casually remarked, “I just saw Mr. Goodwin standing outside thought he had something to discuss with you, Dr. Sutton p>

At that moment, another message came in: “Great. See you in Kingston p>

After reading it, Eleanor didn’t reply and picked up the file the nurse had brought.

Meanwhile, lan was just leaving the

lab. As he was opening his car door, he heard a notification. He quickly took out his phone and saw the two Words the sighed

softly, got in the car and drove away.

Once in the car, Gavin Young began to give him a verbal report, but lan suddenly interrupted, “Clear my entire schedule for next Friday p>

Gavin was surprised. At a red light, he quickly checked the schedule on his tablet. “Mr. Goodwin, you have an important merger meeting next Friday, and also p>

“Postpone or cancel all of it,” lan said firmly, his gaze fixed on the streetscape blurring past the window. “I need to go to Kingston p>

Though surprised, Gavin immediately agreed. “Yes, sir. I’ll adjust the schedule right away p>

“Mr. Goodwin, should I book a flight and hotel for you?” Gavin asked. “Book me on the same flight as Eleanor. I’ll be returning the same day p>

Gavin couldn’t help his surprise. “You’re not planning to stay the night in Kingston p>

“No need,” lan shook his head.

For the next few days, Eleanor split her time between home and the lab.

Gina’s condition improved, though the results weren’t as dramatic as they had been with Serena.
