Karma served me After I Took Back My Love and this one is cold in the best way. Eleanor spent years being the devoted wife and mother. But after a painful rebirth, she sees the truth: her family's love was never for her. It was for Lydia – William's true love. William committed bigamy. Her own children treated her like garbage.
So Eleanor leaves. No screaming. No drama. She just walks away and secretly applies to Harvard. Builds a new life in science. Meanwhile, William and the kids are stuck with Lydia, and she's abusive. They realize exactly what they lost. They beg. They cry. They want her back.
Eleanor's answer? No. Cold. Final. She doesn't owe them forgiveness. She doesn't owe them anything. She chose herself, and watching that choice play out is so satisfying.
If you love revenge stories where the heroine doesn't just survive but thrives, watch this. Eleanor doesn't burn the house down. She just walks out the front door and never looks back.

00:04Do your duty as Mrs. Harrington.
00:08She nodded with a pale face, but her heart still fell for him.
00:12After the wedding, she cooked for him herself, ironed his shirts, nursed his stomach problems, and helped him organize his
00:19lab data.
00:20During a difficult labor, she gritted her teeth and signed for surgical consent form alone.
00:25Later, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she kept it to herself and secretly went for treatment.
00:32At the end of her life, she lay in a hospice ward, her hair completely white.
00:37On the television, William had just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
00:41While Winslow and Sophie had received their Ivy League acceptance letters, the host asked whom he wanted to thank most.
00:48The person I am most grateful to is my wife, Lydia.
00:52She was my first love, and she is the love of my life.
00:55Did I just hear that wrong?
01:00This is what you owe Dad.
01:02Miss Kensington is the one who registered her marriage with him at City Hall.
01:06You came later.
01:07We have to catch a flight to Dad and Miss Kensington's wedding in Napa Valley.
01:13On the day she died, that grand wedding was playing on television.
01:18She closed her eyes in agony.
01:21After being reborn, in his memory, Winslow and Sophie were the people she cared about most.
01:27But now the children had concussions.
01:30And she seemed completely unmoved.
01:33Mrs. Harrington has been like a different person lately.
01:36Last week was her birthday.
01:37She baked a lemon cake herself, but Mr. Harrington took the children skiing with Miss Kensington instead.
01:42Who could feel fine after that?
01:45Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
01:47I was only doing it out of friendship.
01:53You're not telling the truth.
01:55We're husband and wife.
01:57If you have something to say, say it.
02:00Husband and wife.
02:02One month after her rebirth, every servant at the Westchester estate noticed that Mrs. Harrington had changed.
02:08She no longer got up at 5.30 in the morning to make breakfast.
02:12She no longer pushed the children to study.
02:15She no longer drove to the university to deliver nutritious meals to William.
02:19Even when Winslow and Sophie fell off their horses and got concussions, she only calmly told the housekeeper to take
02:25them to the hospital.
02:26A night of wind and snow passed.
02:28William pushed the door open and stepped inside.
02:31He took off his coat and finally looked toward Eleanor, who was reading by the fireplace.
02:36What has been going on with you lately?
02:38Eleanor's hand ploused on the page, under the dim yellow light.
02:41The man in the white shirt looked cool and aristocratic, but his voice was as cold as a timer in
02:46the wall.
02:49Nothing.
02:50I've just been a little busy.
02:51It's the calm distance made William's rise to him.
02:54In his memory, Winslow and Sophie were the people she cared about most.
02:58But now the children have concussions.
03:01And she seemed completely unmoved.
03:04Mrs. Harrington has been like a different person lately.
03:07Last week was her birthday.
03:09She baked a lemon cake herself, but Mr. Harrington took the children's scheme and was Kensington instead.
03:13Who could feel fine after that?
03:16Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
03:18I was only doing it out of friendship.
03:24Well, I'll tell you the truth.
03:26We're husband and wife.
03:28If you have something to say, say it.
03:31Husband and wife.
03:34Eleanor thought of the marriage certificate and was safe.
03:36The one with William and Lydia's names on it.
03:39And almost laughed.
03:41Before she could speak, the study door was shoved open.
03:44You're so mean!
03:45I was in the hospital and you didn't even come see me!
03:49I hate you!
03:50Winslow stood to the side.
03:52His eyes red.
03:53His lips pressed tight.
03:55William was about to stop her.
03:57But Eleanor spoke first.
03:59Then go find Miss Kendington.
04:00Let her take care of you.
04:04Do you mean that?
04:06I do.
04:08Sophie burst into tears.
04:09Sobbing as she screamed that Eleanor was the worst mother in the world.
04:12She cried until she could barely breathe.
04:14But Eleanor did not react at all.
04:16Fine.
04:17Suit yourself.
04:21Winslow called Dad twice.
04:23But no one answered.
04:25Anxious, he looked back at Eleanor and glared at her.
04:29Why do you always have to fight with Dad?
04:34You should go too.
04:36You didn't used to be like this.
04:39Eleanor did not answer.
04:40She simply shut him outside the door.
04:43She leaned back on the chase and looked at the family portrait on the wall.
04:48Remembering her last life.
04:51The Sinclair family went bankrupt.
04:53She was forced to drop out of school.
04:55And her stepfather wanted to marry her off to a 63-year-old hedge fund manager.
04:59It was William Harrington who saved her, saying he had chosen her as his wife.
05:04He was not only the heir to the Harrington family, but also Columbia University's chief scientist.
05:09A genius in gene editing.
05:11Everyone envied her.
05:12But on the first day of their marriage, William said,
05:15I married you only to satisfy the family trust.
05:18Do your duty as Mrs. Harrington.
05:22She nodded with a pale face.
05:24But her heart still fell for him.
05:26After the wedding, she cooked for him herself.
05:29Ironed his shirts.
05:30Nursed his stomach problems.
05:32And helped him organize his lab data.
05:34During a difficult labor, she gritted her teeth and signed for surgical consent form alone.
05:39Later, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,
05:43she kept it to herself and secretly went for treatment.
05:46At the end of her life, she lay in a hospice ward, her hair completely wiped.
05:51On the television, William had just won the Nobel Prize in medicine.
05:55While Winslow and Sophie had received their Ivy League acceptance letters,
05:58the host asked whom he wanted to thank most.
06:02The person I am most grateful to is my wife, Lydia.
06:05Lydia, she was my first love, and she is the love of my life.
06:09Did I just hear that wrong?
06:14This is what you owe Dad.
06:16Miss Kensington is the one who registered her marriage with him at City Hall.
06:20You came later.
06:21We have to catch a flight to Dad and Miss Kensington's wedding in Napa Valley.
06:27On the day she died, that grand wedding was playing on television.
06:32She closed her eyes in agony.
06:35After being reborn, she did only two things.
06:38Register for the graduate entrance exam, and apply to graduate school.
06:42Then go to the social security office, to replace her social security plan,
06:46and apply for a new passport.
06:48She had already taken the exam in secret.
06:50In one week, the admissions result would be out.
06:56I'll leave this family for good.
06:58As she was thinking, a commotion rose outside the door.
07:04Madam, Mr. Harrington asked us that you clear out the master bedroom for Miss Kensington.
07:08You were to move to a guest room.
07:11All right.
07:12Mr. Harrington said,
07:13you should move your things yourself.
07:16Eleanor nodded, quickly packed a few clothes in her books,
07:19then picked up the box, and prepared to leave.
07:22Before she reached the door, a hand struck her's heart, and everything fell to the floor.
07:27She looked up, and saw Lydia Kensington.
07:32Eleanor, long time no see.
07:34Eleanor crouched down to pick up her books.
07:36Eleanor, you're still so capable.
07:38Unlike me, all I know how to do is spend William's money.
07:42Even when you were having a difficult delivery, he was thinking of me.
07:46He transferred most of the family assets into a trust for me to manage,
07:50and even let me join the research institute.
07:52Eleanor flinched from the pain, and shook her off.
07:55Lydia staggered backward, and fell right into William's arms as he rushed over.
08:00Winslow and Sophie followed behind him, surrounding her with worried faces.
08:05Lydia, are you all right?
08:07I'm fine.
08:11William, maybe I should just leave.
08:14Eleanor doesn't seem to welcome me.
08:16William looked at Eleanor in silence.
08:19Eleanor withdrew her gaze from her son and daughter,
08:21and hid her bruised hand behind her back.
08:23I'm not unwilling.
08:25I'll leave right away.
08:29You're really moving out?
08:32You're leaving all this behind, too?
08:34It was the only gift he had ever given her.
08:36Back then, she had been so happy she couldn't sleep all night.
08:40You're the one who told me to clear out the room.
08:42I'm not the one abandoning it.
08:43Then why aren't you taking it with you?
08:46There are too many things.
08:48I can't carry them.
08:49Sophie ran over.
08:50When she saw her plush toy in the box, her little face flushed red.
08:54She's throwing my things away!
08:56If you keep acting like this, I'll never go to science camp again!
09:02You're a bad mom!
09:03You're not even as good as Lydia's little finger!
09:06I'm gonna live with Lydia from now on!
09:09If this had been before, those words would have torn her heart apart.
09:13But now, she was already exhausted.
09:16To whatever you want.
09:20The moment she stepped into the guest room, the housekeeper locked the door.
09:25Madam, Mr. Harrington said that since we pushed Miss Kendington, we need to calm down in here tonight.
09:31Eleanor did not respond.
09:33She lay on the bed and listened to the rain.
09:35In her dream, William promised her love and respect.
09:38But in the end, there was only her lying alone in a hospital bed while, on television.
09:43Her husband walked toward the wedding hall, hand in hand with Lydia.
09:47She laughed until tears fell, then Murmur laughed.
09:52If there is another life, I will never love you again.
09:58Not love me?
10:00Eleanor, say that again.
10:02Don't open your eyes.
10:03Eleanor forced herself not to open her eyes.
10:06He saw that her eyes were closed, so she had only been talking in her sleep.
10:10He let out a breath.
10:13William, what are you doing?
10:16Are you worried about Eleanor?
10:17This is all my fault.
10:21This isn't your fault.
10:27William, if Eleanor finds out that you and I registered our marriage, will she be angry?
10:32It was an emergency then.
10:35Your father wanted to see you marry before you die, even if I don't know if she would play.
10:40Don't worry.
10:41She won't play anymore.
10:43Not for the rest of her life.
10:44On Lydia's first day after the beginning, she soaked William's laboratory manuscripts.
10:49They were all gene-editing diagrams that William had drawn by hand, straight by straight.
10:54He had worked himself into a severe stomach ulcer before.
10:59But when he met Lydia's reddened eyes, he only took her hand.
11:04Wink your hands.
11:05I'll handle it.
11:07The next day, Lydia redecorated the house inside and out.
11:11Sweet Wink, you plush toys are too old.
11:15Let's throw them away, okay?
11:17Sophie immediately threw away the handmade dolls Eleanor had sewn stitch by stitch.
11:21Winslow silently threw away the wooden boat in his hands.
11:27What a good boy.
11:28Those dolls and clothes had all been made by Eleanor herself, from organic cotton and cashmere.
11:33When the children were little, they had allergies and could only touch natural fabrics.
11:39Now they were all thrown into the trash.
11:42At the dining table, Lydia sat at the head and laid out utensils for the two children.
11:48William poured sparkling water for her and prepared her napkin.
11:51His eyes carrying a restrained affection Eleanor had never received.
11:56At night, the four of them swung in the backyard and looked at the stars.
12:01When Eleanor passed by, they ignored her completely, as if she were invisible.
12:06What was even more absurd was that all three of them had always been demanding about quality of life.
12:11Now Lydia had ruined his manuscripts, and William only said it was fine.
12:16The children wore casually washed clothes and ate take-out pizza, and not one of them complained.
12:22William, who was obsessed with cleanliness, even personally cooked pancakes with Lydia.
12:29Mr. Harrington treats Miss Kentington so well.
12:33Poor Mrs. Harrington worked herself to the bone for so long, and she still can't compare to a few days
12:37with Miss Kentington.
12:41Eleanor listened, her heart perfectly calm.
12:45That day, William pushed open the courtyard gate, his tone somewhat gentler.
12:50Enough. This has gone on long enough.
12:53I'm busy with work.
12:55From now on, you'll take care of the children again.
12:58Lydia is young and can't manage it.
13:00A belated birthday gift.
13:02Starting tomorrow, everything goes back to normal. This ends here.
13:05Eleanor looked at the bracelet.
13:07If this had been her last life, she would have been so happy.
13:11She couldn't sleep all night.
13:12Now it only feels ironic.
13:15I don't want it.
13:17Why?
13:19I'm not interested anymore.
13:21William frowned, and forced it into her hand.
13:24Eleanor turned her head away, and remained silent.
13:28William stared hard at her calm profile, a tight ache in his chest.
13:31In the end, he abruptly turned and laughed.
13:35She told the housekeeper to take the thing away, and continued reading.
13:42Madam! Hurry to the back hill!
13:45Bislow and Sophie fell into the river!
13:52Do your duty as Mrs. Harrington.
13:56She nodded with a pale face, but her heart still fell for him.
14:00After the wedding, she cooked for him herself.
14:03Ironed his shirts, nursed his stomach problems, and helped him organize his lab data.
14:08During a difficult labor, she gritted her teeth, and signed for surgical consent form alone.
14:13Later, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,
14:17she kept it to herself, and secretly went for treatment.
14:20At the end of her life, she lay in a hospice ward.
14:23Her hair completely white.

14:32the host asked whom he wanted to thank most.
14:36The person I am most grateful to is my wife, Lydia.
14:40She was my first lover, and she is the love of my life.
14:44Did you just hear that wrong?
14:48This is what you owe Dad.
14:50Miss Kensington is the one who registered her marriage within that city hall.
14:54You came later.
14:55You had to catch your flight to Dad at Miss Kensington's wedding.
14:58No.
15:01On the day she died, that grand wedding was playing on television,
15:06she closed her eyes in agony.
15:09After being reborn, in his memory,
15:12Winslow and Sophie were the people she cared about most.
15:15But now the children had concussions.
15:18And she seemed completely unmoved.
15:21Mrs. Harrington has been like a different person lately.
15:24Last week was her birthday.
15:25She baked a lemon cake herself,
15:27but Mr. Harrington took the children's scheme of Miss Kensington instead.
15:30Who could feel fine after that?
15:33Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
15:35I was only doing it out of friendship.
15:41You're not telling the truth.
15:43We're husband and wife.
15:45If you have something to say, say it.
15:48Husband and wife.

16:32but his voice was as cold as a timer in a lab.
16:37Nothing.
16:38I've just been a little busy.
16:39Her calm distance made William's brows tame.
16:42In his memory,
16:43Winslow and Sophie were the people she cared about most.
16:46But now the children had concussions,
16:49and she seemed completely unmoved.

17:16If you have something to say, say it.
17:19Husband and wife!
17:22Eleanor thought of the marriage certificate
17:23and the sale,
17:24the one with William and Lydia's names on it,
17:27and almost laughed.
17:29Before she could speak,
17:30the study door was shoved open.
17:32You're so mean!
17:34I was in the hospital,
17:35and you didn't even come see me!
17:37I hate you!
17:38Winslow stood to the side.
17:40His eyes red,
17:41his lips pressed tight.
17:43William was about to stop them,
17:45but Eleanor spoke first.
17:47Then go find Miss Kensington.
17:48Let her take care of her.
17:52Do you mean that?
17:54I do.
17:56Sophie burst into tears,
17:57sobbing as she screamed
17:58that Eleanor was the worst mother in the world.
18:01She cried until she could barely breathe,
18:02but Eleanor did not react at all.
18:04Fine.
18:05Suit yourself.

18:17Why do you always have to fight with Dad?
18:22You should go too.
18:24You didn't used to be like this.
18:27Eleanor did not answer.
18:28She simply shut him outside the door.
18:32She leaned back on the chase
18:33and looked at the family portrait on the wall,
18:36remembering her last wife.
18:39The Sinclair family went bankrupt.
18:41She was forced to drive out of school,
18:43and her stepfather wanted to marry her off

19:35she lay in a hospice ward,
19:37her hair completely white.
19:39On the television,
19:40William had just won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
19:43While Winslow and Sophie
19:44had received their Ivy League acceptance letters,
19:46the host asked whom he wanted to thank most.

20:36She had already taken the exam in secret.
20:38In one week,
20:39the admissions result would be out.
20:42Ooh.
20:44I'll leave this family for good.
20:46As she was thinking,
20:47a commotion rose outside the door.
20:51Madam,
20:53Mr. Harrington asks
20:54that you clear out the master bedroom
20:55for Miss Kensington.
20:56You are to move to the guest room.
20:59All right.
21:00Mr. Harrington said
21:01you should move your things yourself.
21:04Eleanor nodded,
21:05quickly packed a few clothes in her books,
21:07then picked up the box
21:09and prepared to leave.
21:10Before she reached the door,
21:12a hand struck hers hard
21:13and everything fell to the floor.
21:15She looked up
21:16and saw Lydia Kensington.
21:19Eleanor,
21:20long time no see.
21:22Eleanor crouched down
21:23to pick up her books.
21:24Eleanor,
21:25you're still so capable.
21:27Unlike me,
21:28all I know how to do
21:29is spend William's money.
21:30Even when you were having
21:31a difficult delivery,
21:32he was thinking of me.
21:34He transferred most of the family assets
21:36into a trust for me to manage
21:37and even let me join
21:39the research institute.
21:40Eleanor flinched from the pain
21:42and shook her off.
21:43Lydia staggered backward
21:44and fell right into William's arms
21:46as he rushed over.
21:48Winslow and Sophie
21:49followed behind him,
21:50surrounding her with weird faces.
21:53Lydia,
21:54are you alright?
21:55I'm fine.
21:59William,
22:00maybe I should just leave.
22:01Eleanor doesn't seem
22:02to welcome me.
22:04William looked at Eleanor
22:05in silence.
22:06Eleanor withdrew her gaze
22:08from her son and daughter
22:09and hid her bruised hand
22:10behind her back.
22:12I'm not unwilling.
22:13I'll leave right away.
22:17You're really moving out?
22:20You're leaving all this behind too?
22:22It was the only gift
22:23he had ever given her.
22:24Back then,
22:25she had been so happy
22:26she couldn't sleep all night.
22:27You're the one who told me
22:29to clear out the room.
22:30I'm not the one abandoning it.
22:32Then why aren't you
22:33taking it with you?
22:34There are too many things.
22:36I can't carry them.
22:37Sophie ran over.
22:39When she saw her
22:39flush toy in the box,
22:41her little face flushed away.
22:42She's throwing my things away!
22:45If you keep acting like this,
22:46I'll never go to science camp again!
22:50You're a bad mom!
22:51You're not even as good
22:53as Lydia's little finger!
22:54I'm gonna live with Lydia
22:56from now on!
22:57If this had been before,
22:59those words would have
23:00told her a lot.
23:01But now,
23:01she was already exhausted.
23:04Dear mom,
23:06I'm not.
23:08The moment she stepped
23:09into the guest room,
23:10the housekeeper
23:11locked the door.
23:13Madam,
23:14Mr. Harrington said
23:15that since you pushed
23:16Miss Kennington,
23:16you need to calm down
23:17and hurt her.
23:19Eleanor did not respond.
23:21She lay on the bed
23:22and listened to the rain.
23:23In her dream,
23:24William promised her love
23:25and respect.
23:26But in the end,
23:27there was only her lying alone
23:29in a hospital bed while
23:30on television.
23:31Her husband walked
23:32toward the wedding hall,
23:33hand in hand with Lydia.
23:35She laughed until tears fell,
23:36then murmured aloud,
23:40If there is another life,
23:42I will never love you again.
23:46Not love me?
23:48Eleanor, say that again.
23:50Don't open your eyes.
23:51Eleanor forced herself
23:53not to open her eyes.
23:54He saw that her eyes were closed,
23:56so she had only been talking
23:57in her sleep.
23:58He let out a breath.
24:01William,
24:01what are you doing?
24:04Are you worried about Eleanor?
24:05This is all my fault.
24:09This isn't your fault.
24:14William,
24:16if Eleanor finds out
24:17that you and I
24:18registered our marriage,
24:19will she be angry?
24:21It was an emergency then.
24:23Your father wanted to see you
24:24married before he died.
24:26Even if Eleanor knew
24:27she wouldn't blame you.
24:28Don't worry.
24:29She won't blame him.
24:31Not for the rest of her life.
24:32On Lydia's first day
24:34after moving in,
24:35she soaked
24:35William's laboratory manuscripts.
24:37They were all
24:38gene editing diagrams
24:39William had drawn by hand,
24:41stroke by stroke.
24:42He had worked himself
24:44into a severe stomach
24:45also at the living room.
24:47But when he met
24:48Lydia's reddened eyes,
24:49he only took her hand.
24:52Wipe your hands.
24:53I'll handle it.
24:55The next day,
24:56Lydia redecorated
24:57the house
24:57inside and out.
24:59Sweet Buffy,
25:01your plush toys
25:02are too old.
25:03Let's throw them away,
25:04okay?
25:05Sophie immediately
25:06threw away
25:06the handmade dolls.
25:07Eleanor had sewn
25:08stitch by stitch.
25:09Winslow silently
25:10threw away
25:11the wooden boat
25:11in his hands.
25:15What a good boy.
25:17Those dolls and clothes
25:18had all been made
25:18by Eleanor herself
25:19from organic cotton
25:20and cashmere.
25:21When the children
25:22were little,
25:23they had allergies
25:23and could only
25:24touch natural fabrics.
25:27Now they were all
25:28thrown into the trash.
25:30At the dining table,
25:31Lydia sat at the head
25:32and laid out utensils
25:34for the two children.
25:36William poured
25:36sparkling water for them
25:38and prepared her napkin,
25:40his eyes carrying
25:41a restrained affection
25:42Eleanor had never received.
25:44At night,
25:45the four of them
25:46swung in the backyard
25:46and looked at the stars.
25:49When Eleanor passed by,
25:51they ignored her completely
25:52as if she were invisible.
25:54What was even more absurd
25:55was that all three of them
25:56had always been demanding
25:57about quality of life.
25:59Now Lydia had ruined
26:01his manuscripts
26:01and William only said
26:03it was fine.
26:04The children wore
26:05casually washed clothes
26:06and ate take-out pizza
26:08and not one of them complained.
26:10William,
26:11who was obsessed
26:12with cleanliness,
26:13even personally cooked
26:14pancakes with Lydia.
26:17Mr. Harrington treats
26:18Miss Kentington so well.
26:21Poor Mrs. Harrington
26:22worked herself to the bone
26:23for so long
26:24and she still can't compare
26:25to a few days
26:25with Miss Kentington.
26:29Eleanor listened,
26:30her heart perfectly calm.
26:33That day,
26:34William pushed open
26:35the courtyard gate,
26:36his tone somewhat gentle.
26:38Enough.
26:39This has gone on long enough.
26:41I'm busy with work.
26:43From now on,
26:44you'll take care
26:45of the children again.
26:46Lydia is young
26:47and can't manage it
26:48but the lady
26:49wouldn't be thinking.
26:50Starting tomorrow,
26:51everything goes round
26:52to her in the same school.
26:53Eleanor looked at the bracelet.
26:55If this had been her last night,
26:57she would have been so happy.
26:59She couldn't sleep on it.
27:00Now it only feels ironic.
27:03I don't want it.
27:05You're not quiet.
27:07I'm not interested anymore.
27:09William found
27:10and forced it into the hand.
27:12Eleanor turned her head away
27:14and remained silent.
27:16William stared hard
27:17at her calm profile,
27:18a tight ache in his chest.
27:20In the end,
27:20he abruptly turned and laughed.
27:23She told the housekeeper
27:24to take the thing away
27:25and continued reading.
27:30Madam!
27:31Hurry to the back hill!
27:33Binslow and Sophie
27:34fell into the river!
27:40Do your duty as Mrs. Harrington.
27:44She nodded with a pale face
27:45but her heart still fell for him.
27:48After the wedding,
27:49she cooked for him herself,
27:51ironed his shirts,
27:53nursed his stomach problems
27:54and helped him organize
27:55his lab data.
27:56During a difficult labor,
27:58she gritted her teeth
27:58and signed for
27:59surgical consent form alone.
28:01Later,
28:02when she was diagnosed
28:03with pancreatic cancer,
28:05she kept it to herself
28:06and secretly went for treatment.
28:08At the end of her life,
28:09she lay in a hospice ward,
28:11her hair completely white.
28:13On the television,
28:14William had just won
28:15the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
28:17While Winslow and Sophie
28:18had received their Ivy League
28:19acceptance letters,
28:21the host asked
28:21whom he wanted to thank most.
28:24The person I am most grateful to
28:26is my wife, Lydia.
28:28She was my first love,
28:29and she is the love of my life.
28:31Did I just hear that wrong?
28:36This is what you owe Dad.
28:38Miss Kensington is the one
28:39who registered her marriage
28:41with him at City Hall.
28:42You came later.
28:43We have to catch a flight
28:44to die to Miss Kensington's wedding
28:46in Napa Valley.
28:49On the day she died,
28:51that grand wedding
28:52was playing on television,
28:54she closed her eyes
28:55in agony.
28:57After being reborn,
28:59in his memory,
29:00Winslow and Sophie
29:01were the people
29:02she cared about most.
29:03But now the children
29:04had concussions,
29:06and she seemed
29:07completely unmoved.
29:09Mrs. Harrington
29:10has been like
29:11a different person lately.
29:12Last week was her birthday.
29:13She baked a lemon cake herself,
29:15but Mr. Harrington
29:16took the children
29:16skiing with Miss Kensington instead.
29:18Who could feel fine after that?
29:21Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
29:23I was only doing it
29:24out of friendship.
29:29You're not telling the truth.
29:31We're husband and wife.
29:33If you have something to say,
29:35say it.
29:36Husband and wife.
29:38One month after her rebirth,
29:40every servant
29:41at the Westchester estate
29:42noticed that Mrs. Harrington
29:44had changed.
29:45She no longer got up
29:46at 5.30 in the morning
29:48to make breakfast.
29:49She no longer pushed
29:50the children to study.
29:51She no longer drove
29:52to the university
29:53to deliver nutritious meals
29:54to William.
29:55Even when Winslow
29:56and Sophie fell off
29:57their horses
29:57and got concussions,
29:59she only calmly told
30:00the housekeeper
30:01to take them to the hospital.
30:02A night of wind
30:03and snow passed.
30:04William pushed the door open
30:05and stepped inside.
30:07He took off his coat
30:08and finally looked
30:09toward Eleanor,
30:10who was reading
30:10by the fireplace.
30:12What has been going on
30:13with you lately?
30:14Eleanor's hand paused
30:15on the page
30:16under the dim yellow light.
30:18The man in the white shirt
30:19looked cool
30:19and aristocratic,
30:20but his voice was
30:21as cold as a timer
30:22in a lab.
30:25Nothing.
30:26I've just been
30:26a little busy.
30:27Her calm distance
30:28made William's brows tighten.
30:30In his memory,
30:31Winslow and Sophie
30:32were the people
30:33she cared about most.
30:34but now the children
30:35had concussions
30:37and she seemed
30:38completely unmoved.
30:40Mrs. Harrington
30:41has been like
30:42a different person lately.
30:43Last week was her birthday.
30:45She baked a lemon cake herself
30:46and Mr. Harrington
30:47took the children's
30:47stealing his kids
30:48until instead.
30:49Who could feel fine
30:50after that?
30:52Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
30:54I was only doing it
30:55out of friendship.
31:04I was in the hospital
31:23and you didn't even come to see me.
31:25I hate you.
31:27Winslow stood to the side.
31:28His eyes red.
31:29His lips pressed tight.
31:31William was about to stop her.
31:33But Eleanor spoke first.
31:35Then go find Miss Kendington.
31:37Let her take care of you.
31:40Do you mean that?
31:42I do.
31:44Sophie burst into tears.
31:46Sobbing as she screamed
31:47that Eleanor was
31:47the worst mother in the world.
31:49She cried until
31:49she could barely breathe.
31:50But Eleanor did not react at all.
31:52Fine.
31:53Suit yourself.
31:57Winslow called Dad twice.
31:59But no one answered.
32:01Anxious,
32:02he looked back at Eleanor
32:03and glared at her.
32:05Why do you always
32:07have to fight with Dad?
32:10You should go too.
32:12You didn't used to be like this.
32:15Eleanor did not answer.
32:16She simply shut him
32:17outside the door.
32:19She leaned back
32:21on the chaise
32:21and looked at the family
32:22portrait on the wall.
32:24Remembering her last life.
32:27The Sinclair family
32:28went bankrupt.
32:29She was forced
32:30to drop out of school.
32:31And her stepfather
32:32wanted to marry her off
32:33to a 63-year-old
32:34hedge fund manager.
32:36It was William Harrington
32:37who saved her,
32:38saying he had chosen her
32:39as his wife.
32:40He was not only the heir
32:41to the Harrington family,
32:43but also Columbia University's
32:44chief scientist.
32:45A genius and gene editing,
32:47everyone envied her.
32:48But on the first day
32:49of their marriage,
32:50William said,
32:51I married you only
32:53to satisfy the family trust.
32:54Do your duty
32:55as Mrs. Harrington.
32:58She nodded
32:59with a pale face,
33:00but her heart
33:01still fell for him.
33:02After the wedding,
33:03she cooked for him herself,
33:05ironed his shirts,
33:06nursed his stomach problems,
33:08and helped him
33:09organize his lab data.
33:10During a difficult labor,
33:11she gritted her teeth
33:12and signed
33:13the surgical consent form alone.
33:15Later,
33:16when she was diagnosed
33:17with pancreatic cancer,
33:19she kept it to herself
33:20and secretly went for treatment.
33:22At the end of her life,
33:23she lay in a hospice ward,
33:25her hair completely white.
33:27On the television,
33:29William had just won
33:29the Nobel Prize in medicine.
33:31While Winslow and Sophie
33:32had received their
33:33Ivy League acceptance letters,
33:34the host asked
33:35whom he wanted to thank most.
33:38The person I am most grateful to
33:40is my wife, Lydia.
33:42She was my first love,
33:43and she is the love of my life.
33:45Did I just hear that wrong?
33:50This is what you owe Dad.
33:52Miss Kensington is the one
33:53who registered her marriage
33:54with him at City Hall.
33:56You came later.
33:57We have to catch a flight
33:58to Dad and Miss Kensington's
34:00wedding in Napa Valley.
34:03On the day she died,
34:05that grand wedding
34:06was playing on television.
34:08She closed her eyes in agony.
34:11After being reborn,
34:13she did only two things.
34:14Register for the graduate entrance exam
34:16and apply to graduate school.
34:18Then go to the social security office
34:20to replace her social security card
34:22and apply for a new passport.
34:24She had already taken
34:25the exam in secret.
34:26In one week,
34:27the admissions result
34:28would be out.
34:30Ooh,
34:31I'll leave this family for good.
34:34As she was thinking,
34:35a commotion rose
34:36outside the door.
34:39Madam,
34:41Mr. Harrington asked
34:42to clear out the master
34:43that you've been saying
34:43anything.
34:44You are to move to the guest room.
34:47All right.
34:48Mr. Harrington said,
34:49you should move
34:50and then use yourself.
34:52Eleanor nodded,
34:53quickly packed a few clothes
34:55in her books,
34:56then picked up the box
34:57and prepared to leave.
34:58Before she reached the door,
35:00a hand struck her side
35:01and everything fell to the door.
35:03She looked up
35:04and saw Lydia Kensington.
35:07Eleanor,
35:08long time before you see,
35:10Eleanor crouched down
35:11to pick up the books.
35:12Eleanor,
35:13you're still so capable.
35:15Unlike me,
35:16all I know how to do
35:17is spend William's money.
35:18Even when you are having
35:19a difficult delivery,
35:20he was thinking of me.
35:22He transferred most
35:23of the family assets
35:24into a trust for me
35:25to manage
35:25and even let me join
35:27the research institute.
35:29Eleanor flinched
35:29from the pain
35:30and shook her off.
35:31Lydia staggered backward
35:32and fell right into
35:34William's arms
35:34as he rushed over.
35:36Winslow and Sophie
35:37followed behind him,
35:38surrounding her
35:39with weird faces.
35:41Lydia,
35:42are you all right?
35:43I'm fine.
35:47William,
35:48maybe I should just leave.
35:49Eleanor doesn't seem
35:51to welcome me.
35:52William looked at
35:53Eleanor in silence.
35:54Eleanor withdrew her gaze
35:56from her son and daughter
35:57and hid her bruised hand
35:58behind her back.
36:00I'm not unwilling.
36:01I'll leave right away.
36:05You're really moving out?
36:08You're leaving all this
36:09behind too?
36:10It was the only gift
36:11he had ever given her.
36:12Back then,
36:13she had been so happy
36:14she couldn't sleep all night.
36:15You're the one
36:16who told me
36:17to clear out the room.
36:18I'm not the one
36:19abandoning it.
36:20Then why aren't
36:21you taking it with you?
36:22There are too many things.
36:24I can't carry them.
36:25Sophie ran over.
36:27When she saw her
36:27plush toy in the box,
36:29her little face
36:29flushed red.
36:30She's throwing
36:31my things away!
36:32If you keep acting
36:34like this,
36:34I'll never go
36:35to science camp again.
36:38You're a bad mom!
36:39You're not even as good
36:41as Lydia's little finger!
36:42I'm gonna live
36:43with Lydia
36:44from now on!
36:45If this had been before,
36:46those words
36:47would have torn
36:48her heart apart.
36:49But now,
36:49she was already exhausted.
36:53Do what I can't want.
36:56The moment she stepped
36:57into the guest room,
36:59the housekeeper
36:59locked the door.
37:01Madam,
37:02Mr. Harrington said
37:03that since you pushed
37:04Miss Kendington,
37:04you need to calm down
37:05in here tonight.
37:07Eleanor did not respond.
37:09She lay on the bed
37:10and listened to the rain.
37:11In her dream,
37:12William promised her
37:13love and respect.
37:14But in the end,
37:15there was only her
37:16lying alone
37:17in a hospital bed
37:18while on television.
37:19Her husband walked
37:20toward the wedding hall,
37:21hand in hand
37:22with Lydia.
37:23She laughed
37:23until tears fell,
37:24then murmured aloud,
37:28If there is another life,
37:30I will never love you again.
37:34Not love me?
37:36Eleanor, say that again.
37:38Don't open your eyes.
37:39Eleanor forced herself
37:41not to open her eyes.
37:42He saw that her eyes
37:43were closed,
37:44so she had only been
37:45talking in her sleep.
37:46He let out a breath.
37:49William,
37:50what are you doing?
37:52Are you worried
37:52about Eleanor?
37:54This is all my fault.
38:03William, if Eleanor finds out
38:05that you and I
38:06registered our marriage,
38:07will she be angry?
38:09It was an emergency then.
38:11Your father wanted to see you
38:12married before he died.
38:14Even if Eleanor knew
38:15she wouldn't blame you.
38:16Don't worry.
38:17She won't blame him.
38:19Not for the rest of her life.
38:20On Lydia's first day
38:22after moving in,
38:23she soaked
38:23William's laboratory manuscripts.
38:25They were all
38:26gene editing diagrams
38:27William had drawn by hand,
38:29stroke by stroke.
38:30He had worked himself
38:32into a severe stomach ulcer
38:33over them.
38:35But when he met
38:36Lydia's reddened eyes,
38:37he only took a hand.
38:40Quiet.
38:41Quiet.
38:43The next day,
38:44Lydia redecorated the house
38:45inside an object.
38:47Sweet,
38:48Sophie.
38:49Your plush boys
38:50are too lonely.
38:51Let's go in the way.
38:53Sophie immediately
38:54threw away the handmade dolls.
38:55Eleanor had sewn
38:56stitch by stitch.
38:57Winslow silently threw away
38:59the wooden build
38:59in the stands.
39:03What a good boy.
39:04Those dolls and clothes
39:06had all been made
39:06by Eleanor herself.
39:07From organic cotton
39:08and cashmere.
39:09When the children were little,
39:11they had allergies
39:11and could only touch
39:12natural batteries.
39:15Now they were all
39:16thrown into the trash.
39:18At the dining table,
39:19Lydia sat at the head
39:20and laid out utensils
39:22for the two children.
39:24William poured
39:24sparkling water
39:25for her
39:26and prepared her napkin,
39:27his eyes carrying
39:29a restrained affection
39:30Eleanor had never received.
39:32At night,
39:33the four of them
39:34swung in the backyard
39:34and looked at the stars.
39:37When Eleanor passed by,
39:39they ignored her completely
39:40as if she were invisible.
39:42What was even more absurd
39:43was that all three of them
39:44had always been demanding
39:46about quality of life.
39:48Now Lydia had ruined
39:49his manuscripts
39:50and William only said
39:51it was fine.
39:52The children wore
39:53casually washed clothes
39:54and ate take-out pizza
39:56and not one of them complained.
39:59William,
39:59who was obsessed
40:00with cleanliness,
40:01even personally cooked
40:02pancakes with Lydia.
40:05Mr. Harrington treats
40:06Miss Kentington so well.
40:09Poor Mrs. Harrington
40:10worked herself to the bone
40:11for so long
40:12and she still can't compare
40:13to a few days
40:13with Miss Kentington.
40:17Eleanor listened,
40:18her heart perfectly calm.
40:21That day,
40:22William pushed open
40:23the courtyard gate,
40:24his tone somewhat gentler.
40:26Enough.
40:27This has gone on long enough.
40:29I'm busy with work.
40:31From now on,
40:32you'll take care
40:33of the children again.
40:34Lydia is young
40:35and can't manage it.
40:36Belated birthday gift.
40:38Starting tomorrow,
40:39everything goes
40:39well to normal.
40:40This ends here.
40:41Eleanor looked at the bracelet.
40:43If this had been
40:44her last life,
40:45she would have been
40:46so happy.
40:47She couldn't sleep all night.
40:48Now it only feels ironic.
40:51I don't want it.
40:54Why?
40:55I'm not interested anymore.
40:57William frowned
40:58and forced it into her hand.
41:01Eleanor turned her head away
41:02and remained silent.
41:04William stared hard
41:05at her calm profile,
41:06a tight ache in his chest.
41:08In the end,
41:08he abruptly turned and left.
41:11She told the housekeeper
41:12to take the thing away
41:13and continued reading.
41:18Madam!
41:19Hurry to the back hill!
41:21Winslow and Sophie
41:22fell into the river!
41:28Do your duty
41:29as Mrs. Harrington.
41:32She nodded
41:33with a pale face,
41:34but her heart
41:35still fell for him.
41:36After the wedding,
41:37she cooked for him herself,
41:39ironed his shirts,
41:41nursed his stomach problems,
41:42and helped him
41:43organize his lab data.
41:44During a difficult labor,
41:46she gritted her teeth
41:46and signed
41:47her surgical consult form.
41:49Later,
41:50when she was diagnosed
41:51with pancreatic cancer,
41:53she kept it to herself
41:54and secretly went for treatment.
41:56At the end of her life,
41:57she lay in a hospice ward,
41:59her hair completely white.
42:01On the television,
42:03William had just won
42:03the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
42:05While Winslow and Sophie
42:06had received
42:07their Ivy League
42:07acceptance letters,
42:09the host asked
42:09whom he wanted to thank most.
42:12The person I am most grateful to
42:14is my wife, Lydia.
42:16She was my first love,
42:17and she is the love
42:18of my life.
42:19Did I just hear
42:21that wrong?
42:24This is what you owe Dad.
42:26Miss Kensington
42:27is the one
42:28who registered her marriage
42:29with him at City Hall.
42:30You came later.
42:31We have to catch a flight
42:32to Dad and Miss Kennington's wedding
42:34in the upper valley.
42:37On the day she died,
42:39that grand wedding
42:40was playing on television,
42:42she closed her eyes
42:43in agony.
42:45After being reborn,
42:47in his memory,
42:48Winslow and Sophie
42:49were the people
42:50she cared about most.
42:51But now the children
42:52had concussions,
42:54and she seemed
42:55completely unmoved.
42:57Mrs. Harrington
42:58has been like
42:59a different person lately.
43:00The last week
43:01was her birthday.
43:01She made a long cake herself.
43:03Mr. Harrington
43:04took the children's
43:04scheme of Miss Kensington
43:05instead.
43:06Who could feel fine
43:07after that?
43:09Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
43:11I was only doing it
43:12out of friendship.
43:17But I'm telling you the truth.
43:19We're husband and wife.
43:21If you have something
43:22to say, say it.
43:24Husband and wife!
43:26One month after the rebirth,
43:28every servant
43:29at the Westchester estate
43:30noticed that Mrs. Harrington
43:32had changed.
43:33She no longer got up
43:34at 5.30
43:35in the morning
43:36to make breakfast.
43:36She no longer
43:37pushed the children
43:38to study.
43:39She no longer
43:40drove to the university
43:41to deliver nutritious meals
43:42to William.
43:43Even when Winslow
43:44and Sophie fell off
43:45their horses
43:45and got concussions,
43:47she only calmly
43:48told the housekeeper
43:49to take them
43:49to the hospital.
43:50A night of wind
43:51and snow passed.
43:52William pushed
43:53the door open
43:53and stepped inside.
43:55He took off his coat
43:56and finally looked
43:57toward Eleanor,
43:58who was reading
43:59by the fireplace.
44:00What has been going on
44:01with you lately?
44:02Eleanor's hand paused
44:03on the page
44:04under the dim yellow light.
44:06The man in the white shirt
44:07looked cool
44:07and aristocratic,
44:08but his voice
44:09was as cold
44:10as a timer
44:10in a lab.
44:13Nothing.
44:14I've just been
44:14a little busy.
44:15Her calm distance
44:16made William's brows tighten.
44:18In his memory,
44:20Winslow and Sophie
44:20were the people
44:21she cared about most,
44:22but now the children
44:23had concussions
44:25and she seemed
44:26completely unmoved.
44:28Mrs. Harrington
44:29has been like
44:30a different person lately.
44:31Last week was her birthday.
44:33She baked a lemon cake herself,
44:34but Mr. Harrington
44:35took the children's scheme
44:36with Miss Kensington instead.
44:37Who could feel fine
44:38after that?
44:40Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
44:42I was only doing it
44:43out of friendship.
44:48We're not telling the truth.
44:50We're husband and wife.
44:52If you have something to say,
44:54say it.
44:55Husband and wife!
44:58Eleanor thought of
44:59the marriage certificate
45:00in the safe,
45:00the one with William
45:01and Lydia's names on it,
45:02and almost laughed.
45:05Before she could speak,
45:06the study door
45:07was shoved open.
45:08You're so mean!
45:10I was in the hospital
45:11and you didn't even
45:12come see me!
45:13I hate you!
45:14Winslow stood to the side,
45:16his eyes red,
45:17his lips pressed tight.
45:19William was about
45:20to stop her,
45:21but Eleanor
45:21spoke first.
45:23Then go find
45:23Miss Kensington.
45:25Let her take care of you.
45:28Do you mean that?
45:30I do.
45:32Sophie burst into tears,
45:34sobbing as she screamed
45:35that Eleanor
45:35was the worst mother
45:36in the world.
45:37She cried until
45:37she could barely breathe,
45:38but Eleanor
45:39did not react at all.
45:40Fine.
45:41Suit yourself.
45:45Winslow called Dad
45:46twice,
45:47but no one answered.
45:49Anxious,
45:50he looked back at Eleanor
45:51and glared at her.
45:53Why do you always
45:55have to fight with Dad?
45:58You should go too.
46:00You didn't used to be
46:01like this.
46:03Eleanor did not answer.
46:04She simply shut him
46:05outside the door.
46:08She leaned back on the chase
46:09and looked at the family
46:10portrait on the wall,
46:12remembering her last life.
46:15The Sinclair family
46:16went bankrupt.
46:17She was forced
46:18to drop out of school,
46:19and her stepfather
46:20wanted to marry her off
46:21to a 63-year-old hedge fund manager.
46:23It was William Harrington
46:25who saved her,
46:26saying he had chosen her
46:27as his wife.
46:28He was not only the heir
46:29to the Harrington family,
46:30but also Columbia University's
46:32chief scientist,
46:33a genius and gene editor.
46:35Everyone envied him,
46:37but on the first day
46:37of their marriage,
46:38William said,
46:40I'm married
46:40who wanted me
46:41to satisfy the family trust.
46:42Do your duty
46:43as Mrs. Harrington.
46:46She nodded
46:47with a pale face,
46:48but her heart
46:49still fell from him.
46:50After the wedding,
46:51she cooked for him herself.
46:53Ironed his shirts,
46:55nursed his stomach problems,
46:56and helped him
46:57organize his lab data.
46:58During a difficult labor,
46:59she gritted her teeth
47:00and signed
47:01her surgical consent
47:02for her lower.
47:03Later,
47:04when she was diagnosed
47:05with pancreatic cancer,
47:07she kept it to herself
47:08and secretly went for treatment.
47:10At the end of her life,
47:11she lay in a hospice floor,
47:13her hair completely white.
47:15On the television,
47:16William had just won
47:17the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
47:19While Winslow and Sophie
47:20had received their
47:21Ivy League acceptance letters,
47:22the host asked
47:23whom he wanted
47:24to thank most.
47:26The person I am
47:27most grateful to
47:28is my wife, Lydia.
47:30She was my first love,
47:31and she is the love
47:32of my life.
47:34Did you just hear
47:35that wrong?
47:38This is what you owe Dad.
47:40Miss Kensington
47:41is the one who registered
47:42her marriage with him
47:43at City Hall.
47:44You came later.
47:45We have to catch a flight
47:46to Dad and Miss Kensington's
47:48wedding in Napa Valley.
47:51On the day she died,
47:53that grand wedding
47:54was playing on television.
47:56She closed her eyes
47:57in agony.
47:59After being reborn,
48:01she did only two things.
48:02Register for the graduate
48:03entrance exam
48:04and apply to graduate school.
48:06Then go to the
48:07Social Security office
48:08to replace her
48:09Social Security card
48:10and apply for a new passport.
48:12She had already
48:13taken the exam in secret.
48:14In one week,
48:15the admissions result
48:16would be out.
48:19Oh, I'll leave
48:20this family for good.
48:22As she was thinking,
48:23a commotion rose
48:24outside the door.
48:27Madam,
48:29Mr. Harrington asks
48:30that we clear out
48:30the master bedroom
48:31for Miss Kensington.
48:32You are to move
48:33to the guest room.
48:35All right.
48:36Mr. Harrington said
48:37you should move
48:38your things yourself.
48:40Eleanor nodded,
48:41quickly packed
48:42a few clothes
48:43in her books,
48:43then picked up the box
48:45and prepared to leave.
48:46Before she reached the door,
48:48a hand struck hers hard
48:49and everything
48:50fell to the floor.
48:51She looked up
48:52and saw Lydia Kensington.
48:55Eleanor,
48:56long time no see.
48:58Eleanor crouched down
48:59to pick up her books.
49:00Eleanor,
49:01you're still so capable.
49:03Unlike me,
49:04all I know how to do
49:05is spend William's money.
49:06Even when you were having
49:07a difficult delivery,
49:09he was thinking of me.
49:10He transferred
49:11most of the family assets
49:12into a trust for me
49:13to manage
49:13and even let me
49:15join the research institute.
49:16Eleanor flinched
49:17from the pain
49:18and shook her off.
49:19Lydia staggered backward
49:20and fell right
49:21into William's arms
49:22as he rushed over.
49:24Winslow and Sophie
49:25followed behind him,
49:26surrounding her
49:27with bullied faces.
49:29Lydia,
49:30are you all right?
49:31I'm fine.
49:35William,
49:36maybe I should just leave.
49:37Eleanor doesn't seem
49:39to welcome me.
49:40William looked at
49:41Eleanor in silence.
49:43Eleanor withdrew her gaze
49:44from her son and daughter
49:45and hid her bruised hand
49:46behind her back.
49:48I'm not in William.
49:49I'll leave right away.
49:53You're really moving out?
49:56You're leaving all this
49:57behind too?
49:58It was the only gift
49:59he had ever given her.
50:00Back then,
50:01she had been so happy
50:02she couldn't sleep all night.
50:04You're the one who told me
50:05to clear out the room.
50:06I'm not the one
50:07abandoning it.
50:08Then why aren't you
50:09taking it with you?
50:10There are too many things.
50:12I can't carry them.
50:14Sophie ran over.
50:15When she saw her plush toy
50:16in the box,
50:17her little face
50:17flushed red.
50:18She's throwing
50:19my things away!
50:20If you keep acting
50:22like this,
50:22I'll never go
50:23to science camp again.
50:26You're a bad mom!
50:27You're not even as good
50:29as Lydia's little finger!
50:30I'm gonna live
50:31with Lydia
50:32from now on!
50:33If this had been before,
50:34those words
50:35would have torn
50:36from her head.
50:37But now,
50:38she was already exhausted.
50:41To her head.
50:44The moment she stepped
50:45into the guest room,
50:46the housekeeper
50:47locked the door.
50:49Madam,
50:50Mr. Harrington said
50:51that since you pushed
50:52Ms. Kendington,
50:53you need to calm down
50:53a moment.
50:55Eleanor did not respond.
50:57She lay on the bed
50:58and listened to the ring.
50:59In her dream,
51:00William promised
51:01her love and respect.
51:02But in the end,
51:03there was only her
51:04lying alone
51:05in the hospital bed.
51:06On television,
51:07her husband walked
51:08toward the wedding hall,
51:09hand in hand with Lydia.
51:11She laughed
51:11until tears fell,
51:12then her mother laughed.
51:16If there is another life,
51:18you'll never love her again.
51:22Not love me.
51:24Eleanor,
51:25say that again.
51:26Don't open your eyes.
51:27Eleanor forced herself
51:29not to open her eyes.
51:30He saw that her eyes
51:31were closed,
51:32so she had only been
51:33talking in her sleep.
51:34He let out a breath.
51:37William,
51:38what are you doing?
51:40Are you worried
51:41about Eleanor?
51:42This is all my fault.
51:45This isn't your fault.
51:51William,
51:52if Eleanor finds out
51:53that you and I
51:54registered our marriage,
51:55will she be angry?
51:56It was an emergency then.
51:59Your father wanted
52:00to see you married
52:00before he died.
52:02Even if Eleanor knew
52:03she wouldn't blame you.
52:04Don't worry.
52:05She won't blame him.
52:07Not for the rest of her life.
52:08On Lydia's first day
52:10after moving in,
52:11she soaked
52:11William's laboratory
52:12manuscripts.
52:13They were all
52:14gene editing diagrams.
52:15William had drawn by hand,
52:17stroke by stroke.
52:18He had worked himself
52:20into a severe stomach ulcer
52:21over them.
52:23But when he met
52:24Lydia's reddened eyes,
52:25he only took her hand.
52:28Wipe your hands.
52:29I'll handle it.
52:31The next day,
52:32Lydia redecorated
52:33the house inside and out.
52:35Sweet,
52:36Lofi.
52:37Your plush boys
52:38are too old.
52:39Let's throw them away,
52:40okay?
52:41Sophie immediately
52:42threw away
52:42the handmade dolls.
52:43Eleanor had sewn
52:44stitch by stitch.
52:45Winslow silently
52:46threw away
52:47the wooden boat
52:47in his hands.
52:51What a good boy.
52:52Those dolls and clothes
52:54had all been made
52:54by Eleanor herself
52:55from organic cotton
52:56and cashmere.
52:58When the children
52:58were little,
52:59they had allergies
52:59and could only
53:00touch natural fabrics.
53:03Now they were all
53:04thrown into the trash.
53:06At the dining table,
53:07Lydia sat at the head
53:08and laid out utensils
53:10for the two children.
53:12William poured
53:12sparkling water for her
53:14and prepared her napkin.
53:16His eyes carrying
53:17a restrained affection,
53:18Eleanor had never received.
53:20At night,
53:21the four of them
53:22swung in the backyard
53:22and looked at the stars.
53:25When Eleanor passed by,
53:27they ignored her completely
53:28as if she were invisible.
53:30What was even more absurd
53:31was that all three of them
53:32had always been demanding
53:34about quality of life.
53:36Now Lydia had ruined
53:37his manuscripts
53:38and William only said
53:39it was fine.
53:41The children wore
53:41casually washed clothes
53:43and ate take-out pizza
53:44and not one of them complained.
53:46William,
53:47who was obsessed
53:48with cleanliness,
53:49even personally cooked pancakes
53:51with Lydia.
53:53Mr. Harrington treats
53:54Miss Kentington so well.
53:57Poor Mrs. Harrington
53:58worked herself to the bone
53:59for so long
54:00and she still can't compare
54:01to a few days
54:02with Miss Kentington.
54:05Eleanor listened,
54:06her heart perfectly calm.
54:09That day,
54:10William pushed open
54:11the courtyard gate,
54:12his tone somewhat gentler.
54:14Enough.
54:15This has gone on long enough.
54:17I'm busy with work.
54:19From now on,
54:20you'll take care
54:21of the children again.
54:22Lydia is young
54:23and can't manage it.
54:24A belated birthday gift.
54:26Starting tomorrow,
54:27everything goes back to normal.
54:28This ends here.
54:29Eleanor looked at the bracelet.
54:31If this had been her last life,
54:33she would have been so happy.
54:35She couldn't sleep all night.
54:36That would only feel so good.
54:39I don't want it.
54:42Why?
54:43I'm not interested anymore.
54:45William cried
54:46and forced it into her hand.
54:48Eleanor turned her head away
54:50and remained silent.
54:52William stared hard
54:53at him on her heart,
54:54a tight ache in his chest.
54:56In the end,
54:57he abruptly turned and went.
54:59She told the housekeeper
55:00to take the thing away
55:01and continue reading.
55:06Adam!
55:07Hurry to the back hill!
55:09He's so and so
55:09he fell into the river!
55:10He's so and so
55:13he forever réfere
55:17he must have faith!
55:17He put it.
