“Mr. Goodwin, you’re here,” said Dr. Smith, then turned to a nurse. “Please ask Dr. Sutton to join us in Conference Room One.” He then looked at Serena. “Miss Goodwin, you should come too p>
Serena quickly took lan’s arm. “Brother, does this mean Ellie found another way p>
Dr. Smith glanced back with a smile. “You’ll see in a moment, Miss Goodwin p>
Inside Conference Room One, Dr. Smith maintained an air of mystery until Eleanor walked in with her laptop. Then, he announced excitedly, “Mr. Goodwin, you’re about to witness just how brilliant El truly is p>
lan looked up at Eleanor. Dressed in her white lab coat, without a trace of makeup, she exuded an academic charm that was so dazzling he couldn’t look away. Serena, too, thought Eleanor looked incredibly beautiful and felt a surge of excitement, wondering what good news she was about to share.
Eleanor sat down and looked at the siblings. “Through my research,” she began calmly, “our lab has successfully extracted and cultivated a new type of antibody from the blood samples of direct relatives. I’ve tentatively named it the ‘golden antibody p>

He looked at Eleanor, his gaze a whirlwind of joy, shock, gratitude, and a deep, aching guilt.
The shackles Vanessa had placed on him had just been broken by Eleanor’s own hands.
“Brother! Did you hear that? This is amazing! You’re free! Evelyn will be okay!” Serena cried tears of joy, shaking lan’s arm in excitement.
lan’s eyes were locked on Eleanor,
his throat working as if a thousand words were stuck in his chest. In the end all he could manage was “Eleanor… thank you p>
