Tomorrow was the final day of the conference. Eleanor took a shower. In the quiet of the night, memories played through her mind like a slideshow.
Many things she couldn't understand back then were crystal clear now. When she had confessed her feelings to Ian, she had only intended to tell him she loved him, not to pressure him into an immediate marriage. But Ian had insisted.
She remembered going to her father like a child who had done something wrong. She had summoned all her courage to tell him, expecting a stern lecture. She knew how high his expectations for her were, how much he wanted her to be like him.
But after listening, her father was silent for a moment before simply telling her to think it through, that he wouldn't interfere with her decisions.
She told her father she had made up her mind. Three months later, she and Ian had a grand wedding. Gina hadn't been pleased with her as a daughter-in-law; it was Grandma Magdalen Goodwin who had arranged everything.
Eleanor understood Gina's perspective. After all, what kind of future could a girl who dropped out of school to marry her son possibly have? All parents want the best for their children.
Gina's later favoritism toward Vanessa was an aftereffect of her dissatisfaction with their marriage.
On her wedding day, her father had asked her if she would regret it. Eleanor remembered her happy reply, that she would have no regrets.
Later, her father spoke to her privately, urging her not to give up on medicine even after getting married. With her extraordinary talent and perseverance, the married Eleanor managed to complete her university studies independently. And whenever Ian went abroad, which was every six months, she would join York Windsor's lab, becoming an outstanding researcher and a member of the confidential Neural Interface Project Team.
Thinking back, her father's words—*don't give up on medicine even after you're married*—weren't just about his personal hopes for her, but a part of a much larger plan.
Perhaps her father had wanted her to become strong, to master cutting-edge medical knowledge, so she could ultimately save herself.
And she had done it.
