Smith was taken aback. Mr. Goodwin certainly knew Eleanor well, anticipating her next move. Could Eleanor really be a second potential donor?
That afternoon, Eleanor took her own blood sample to be tested, running the comparison herself.
The analysis was complete.
Her blood was not suitable for the experiment.
Smith, who had been keeping a close eye on the matter, saw the results on his computer and sighed. Eleanor's compatibility was only around sixty percent—not high enough to be effective.
Eleanor ran the test three times, but the result was always the same. Finally, she gave up and returned to her office, three small bruises already forming on her inner elbow from the needles.
Smith sent a text to Ian: "Miss Sutton did run the genetic comparison. She is not a suitable match."
The reply came back a moment later: "Thank you."
Smith rubbed his temples. He really couldn't afford to get distracted by anything else. The experiment was all that mattered.
Eleanor sat in her office, lost in thought for a long time. Then, shaking it off, she resolved not to waste any more time and threw herself back into her work.
