No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 958

On the other end of the line, Dr. Smith's voice trembled with excitement. "That's incredible, El! This is a landmark breakthrough. It means we're completely free from our dependency on a single donor."

"Exactly. And the effect is even better," Eleanor added, her voice laced with relief and joy.

Dr. Smith was ecstatic. He had poured his life's work into building this lab, and now Eleanor had borne the most magnificent fruit. The answer had been there all along, but he had lacked the genius to uncover it. Eleanor had finally found it.

"I'll organize the data immediately and report to Mr. Goodwin," he said, his voice eager.

Eleanor thought of Ian's exhausted face and bloodshot eyes when he had left earlier. If Smith told him now, it would disrupt his rest and likely keep him up all night with excitement.

"Doctor, let's wait. You can tell him tomorrow," she suggested.

Smith immediately understood. "You're right, you're right. He pulled an all-nighter with you last night; he must be exhausted. If I tell him now, he'll be too excited to sleep. Let him get a good night's rest. He's earned it."

After a brief chat, Eleanor hung up and savored the warmth of being home. She walked into the playroom to see her daughter on the floor, assembling a simple Lego set. The sight of her, so lovely under the soft light, warmed Eleanor's heart. It felt like just yesterday that the little girl in her arms was learning to babble, and now she was so independent and thoughtful.
