No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 911

911 /970

Eleanor stood back slightly, reviewing the chart in her hands and noting down data.

When she had finished answering Dr. Smith's questions, Gina looked straight at Eleanor, a look of both immense gratitude and profound guilt in her eyes.

Dr. Smith finished his instructions.

"Doctor, may I have a word with Ms. Sutton?" Gina asked.

Dr. Smith nodded and glanced at Eleanor, who walked over to the bed without hesitation.

Gina struggled to sit up straighter, and Serena rushed to help her.

"Eleanor, I…" Gina's voice broke, and her eyes quickly reddened. "The Goodwin family has wronged you. I never should have treated you that way. I am so… so sorry."

Eleanor listened, her expression unreadable. After a moment of silence, she said, "Please, just focus on resting. Nothing else matters." Her tone was calm, devoid of resentment but also of warmth.

Her neutral reaction only seemed to deepen Gina's sense of guilt. "This research must be so exhausting for you. I feel terrible."

"It's my job. You don't need to feel burdened by it," Eleanor replied. "I have data to process, so I'll be going now."

As Eleanor turned to leave, she saw Ian leaning against the doorframe, his expression heavy and complex. When she reached him, he straightened up and stepped aside to let her pass.

Eleanor walked by him without a word. Ian watched her go. The fact that she was willing to see his family at all was more than he could have hoped for.

Later, Dr. Smith called a meeting to formulate a treatment plan for Gina. In the end, they decided to stick with the previous regimen. Her body was too weak to risk an unproven alternative.
