No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1002

Back at the lab, Eleanor was leaving her office to discuss some data with Smith. As she reached his door, she heard him on the phone and decided to come back later, but then she overheard him say, "Make sure you bring the original documents. Mr. Goodwin wants to terminate the agreement with Miss Shannon for good this time, so we can't afford any mistakes."

Eleanor froze, glancing toward the office with a frown. Ian was terminating his agreement with Vanessa?

Just then, Smith's assistant approached her. "Dr. Sutton, are you looking for the doctor?"

Smith, still on the phone, saw Eleanor through the glass wall of his office. He quickly wrapped up his call.

"Eleanor, did you need something?" Smith asked as he stepped out of his office.

Eleanor nodded. "I wanted to discuss a few data sets with you. Do you have a moment?"

"Come on in," Smith said, nodding.

Once inside the office, Eleanor couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, I overheard you on the phone just now. Is Ian terminating the donation agreement with Vanessa?"

Smith didn't see any reason to keep it a secret. He nodded. "Yes, Mr. Goodwin called me about it himself just a little while ago. It seems he's very eager to end things with her."

As for the reason, Smith had a pretty good idea.

Eleanor offered her professional opinion. "Doctor, I don't think it's the right time to terminate the agreement. Vanessa could serve as a valuable backup donor, just in case."

"Hmm." Smith stroked his chin and nodded. "That's what I said, but Mr. Goodwin seems quite insistent."

He raised an eyebrow in surprise and quickly answered, "Hello."

On the other end, Eleanor's voice came through, as calm and direct as ever. "I heard from the doctor that you're planning to terminate the agreement with Vanessa."

Ian's expression flickered, a hint of disappointment coloring his features as he realized the purpose of her call.

He grunted in affirmation, not denying it.

Eleanor was silent for a few seconds before she spoke again. "Ian, I hope you'll reconsider. While the research has made a breakthrough, medicine is full of uncertainties. Keeping Vanessa as a backup donor provides an extra layer of security. It's the more responsible choice for your family and for Evelyn."
