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

00:14:00But his voice was as cold as a timer in a lab.

00:15:20Do you mean that?

00:19:31William looked at Eleanor in silence.
00:19:34Eleanor withdrew her gaze from her son and daughter, and hid her bruised hand behind her back.
00:19:39I'm not willing.

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

00:33:27But in the end, there was only her lying alone in a hospital bed while, on television.
00:33:33Her husband walked toward the wedding hall, hand in hand with Lydia.
00:33:36She laughed until tears fell, then murmured aloud.
00:33:41If there is another life, I will never love you again.
00:33:48Not love me?
00:33:50Eleanor, say that again.
00:33:51Don't open your eyes.
00:33:53Eleanor forced herself not to open her eyes.
00:33:55He saw that her eyes were closed, so she had only been talking in her sleep.
00:33:59He let out a breath.
00:34:02William, what are you doing?
00:34:05Are you worried about Eleanor?
00:34:07This is all my fault.
00:34:10This isn't your fault.
00:34:16William, if Eleanor finds out that you and I registered our marriage, will she be angry?
00:34:22It was an emergency then.
00:34:24Your father wanted to see you married before he died.

00:35:04Let's throw them away, okay?
00:35:06Sophie immediately threw away the handmade dolls.
00:35:09Eleanor had sewn stitch by stitch.
00:35:11Winslow silently threw away the wooden boat in his hands.
00:35:16What a good boy.
00:35:18Those dolls and clothes had all been made by Eleanor herself, from organic cotton and cashmere.
00:35:23When the children were little, they had allergies and could only touch natural fabrics.
00:35:28Now they were all thrown into the trash.

00:36:40This has gone on long enough.
00:36:42I'm busy with work.
00:36:44From now on, you'll take care of the children again.
00:36:47Lydia is young and can't manage it.
00:36:50A belated birthday gift.
00:36:51Starting tomorrow, everything goes back to normal.
00:36:53This ends here.

00:37:50But now the children had concussions.
00:37:53And she seemed completely unmoved.

00:40:15His eyes red, his lips pressed tight.
00:40:18William was about to stop her, but Eleanor spoke first.
00:40:21Then go find Miss Kensington.
00:40:24Let her take care of you.
00:40:27Do you mean that?

00:40:31Sophie burst into tears, sobbing as she screamed that Eleanor was the worst mother in the world.

00:40:53Why do you always have to fight with Dad?
00:40:57You should go, too.
00:40:59You didn't used to be like this.
00:41:02Eleanor did not answer.
00:41:03She simply shut him outside the door.
00:41:07She leaned back on the chaise and looked at the family portrait on the wall, remembering her last life.
00:41:14The Sinclair family went bankrupt.
00:41:16She was forced to drop out of school,
00:41:18and her stepfather wanted to marry her off to a 63-year-old hedge fund manager.
00:41:23It was William Harrington who saved her, saying he had chosen her as his wife.
00:41:27He was not only the heir to the Harrington family, but also Columbia University's chief scientist.
00:41:33A genius in gene editing, everyone envied her.
00:41:35But on the first day of their marriage, William said,
00:41:39I married you only to satisfy the family trust.
00:41:41Do your duty as Mrs. Harrington.
00:41:45She nodded with a pale face, but her heart still fell for him.
00:41:49After the wedding, she cooked for him herself,
00:41:52ironed his shirts, nursed his stomach problems,
00:41:55and helped him organize his lab data.
00:41:57During a difficult labor, she gritted her teeth and signed for surgical consent form alone.
00:42:03Later, when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,
00:42:06she kept it to herself and secretly went for treatment.
00:42:09At the end of her life, she lay in a hospice ward,
00:42:12her hair completely white.
00:42:14On the television,
00:42:16William had just won the Nobel Prize in medicine.
00:42:18While Winslow and Sophie had received their Ivy League acceptance letters,
00:42:21the host asked whom he wanted to thank most.
00:42:25The person I am most grateful to is my wife, Lydia.
00:42:29She was my first love, and she is the love of my life.
00:42:32Did I just hear that wrong?
00:42:37This is what you owe Dad.
00:42:39Miss Kensington is the one who registered her marriage with him at City Hall.
00:42:43You came later.
00:42:44We have to catch a flight to Dad and Miss Kensington's wedding in Napa Valley.
00:42:50On the day she died,
00:42:52that grand wedding was playing on television.
00:42:55She closed her eyes in agony.
00:42:58After being reborn,
00:43:00she did only two things.
00:43:01Register for the graduate entrance exam
00:43:03and apply to graduate school.
00:43:05Then go to the social security office
00:43:07to replace her social security card
00:43:09and apply for a new passport.
00:43:11She had already taken the exam in secret.
00:43:13In one week, the admissions result would be out.
00:43:18Ooh, I'll leave this family for good.
00:43:21As she was thinking,
00:43:22a commotion rose outside the door.
00:43:26Madam,
00:43:28Mr. Harrington asks that you clear out the master bedroom for Miss Kensington.
00:43:31You are to move to the guest room.
00:43:34All right.
00:43:35Mr. Harrington said
00:43:36you should move your things yourself.
00:43:39Eleanor nodded,
00:43:40quickly packed a few clothes and her books,
00:43:42then picked up the box
00:43:44and prepared to leave.
00:43:45Before she reached the door,
00:43:47a hand struck hers hard
00:43:48and everything fell to the floor.
00:43:50She looked up
00:43:51and saw Lydia Kensington.
00:43:54Eleanor,
00:43:55long time no see.
00:43:57Eleanor crouched down
00:43:58to pick up her books.
00:43:59Eleanor,
00:44:00you're still so capable.
00:44:02Unlike me,
00:44:03all I know how to do
00:44:04is spend William's money.
00:44:05Even when you were having
00:44:06a difficult delivery,
00:44:08he was thinking of me.
00:44:09He transferred most of the family assets
00:44:11into a trust for me to manage
00:44:13and even let me join
00:44:14the research institute.
00:44:15Eleanor flinched from the pain
00:44:17and shook her off.
00:44:18Lydia staggered backward
00:44:20and fell right into William's arms
00:44:21as he rushed over.
00:44:23Winslow and Sophie followed behind him,
00:44:26surrounding her with weird faces.
00:44:28Lydia,
00:44:29are you all right?
00:44:31I'm fine.
00:44:34William,
00:44:35maybe I should just leave.
00:44:37Eleanor doesn't seem to welcome me.
00:44:39William looked at Eleanor in silence.
00:44:42Eleanor withdrew her gaze
00:44:43from her son and daughter
00:44:44and hid her bruised hand
00:44:45behind her back.
00:44:47I'm not unwilling.
00:44:48I'll leave right away.
00:44:52You're really moving out?
00:44:55You're leaving all this behind too?
00:44:57It was the only gift
00:44:58he had ever given her.
00:44:59Back then,
00:45:00she had been so happy
00:45:01she couldn't sleep all night.
00:45:03You're the one who told me
00:45:04to clear out the room.
00:45:05I'm not the one abandoning it.
00:45:06Then why aren't you
00:45:08taking it with you?
00:45:09There are too many things.
00:45:11I can't carry them.
00:45:13Sophie ran over.
00:45:14When she saw her plush toy
00:45:15in the box,
00:45:16her little face flushed red.
00:45:18She's throwing my things away!
00:45:20If you keep acting like this,
00:45:22I'll never go to science camp again!
00:45:25You're a bad mom!
00:45:27You're not even as good
00:45:28as Lydia's little finger!
00:45:29I'm gonna live with Lydia
00:45:31from now on!
00:45:32If this had been before,
00:45:34those words would have
00:45:35torn her heart apart.
00:45:36But now,
00:45:37she was already exhausted.
00:45:40Do whatever you want.
00:45:43The moment she stepped
00:45:44into the guest room,
00:45:46the housekeeper locked the door.
00:45:48Madam,
00:45:49Mr. Harrington said
00:45:50that since you pushed
00:45:51Miss Kendington,
00:45:52you need to calm down
00:45:52in here tonight.
00:45:54Eleanor did not respond.
00:45:56She lay on the bed
00:45:57and listened to the rain.
00:45:58In her dream,
00:45:59William promised her love
00:46:00and respect.
00:46:01But in the end,
00:46:02there was only her lying alone
00:46:04in a hospital bed while,
00:46:05on television.
00:46:06Her husband walked
00:46:07toward the wedding hall,
00:46:08hand in hand with Lydia.
00:46:10She laughed until tears fell,
00:46:11then murmured aloud,
00:46:15If there is another life,
00:46:17I will never love you again.
00:46:21Not love me?
00:46:23Eleanor,
00:46:24say that again.
00:46:25Don't open your eyes.
00:46:27Eleanor forced herself
00:46:28not to open her eyes.
00:46:29He saw that her eyes
00:46:30were closed,
00:46:31so she had only been
00:46:32talking in her sleep.
00:46:33He let out a breath.
00:46:36William,
00:46:37what are you doing?
00:46:39Are you worried about Eleanor?
00:46:40This is all my fault.
00:46:44This isn't your fault.
00:46:50William,
00:46:51if Eleanor finds out
00:46:52that you and I
00:46:53registered our marriage,
00:46:54will she be angry?
00:46:56It was an emergency then.
00:46:58Your father wanted
00:46:59to see you married
00:47:00before he died.
00:47:01Even if Eleanor knew
00:47:02she wouldn't blame you.
00:47:03Don't worry.
00:47:04She won't blame him.
00:47:06Not for the rest of her life.
00:47:08On Lydia's first day
00:47:09after moving in,
00:47:10she soaked
00:47:10William's laboratory manuscripts.
00:47:12They were all
00:47:13gene editing diagrams.
00:47:14William had drawn by hand,
00:47:16stroke by stroke.
00:47:17He had worked himself
00:47:19into a severe stomach ulcer
00:47:20over them.
00:47:22But when he met
00:47:23Lydia's reddened eyes,
00:47:24he only took her hand.
00:47:27Wipe your hands.
00:47:28I'll handle it.
00:47:30The next day,
00:47:31Lydia redecorated
00:47:32the house inside and out.
00:47:34Sweet Fofie,
00:47:36your plush toys
00:47:37are too old.
00:47:38Let's throw them away,
00:47:39okay?
00:47:40Sophie immediately
00:47:41threw away
00:47:41the handmade dolls.
00:47:42Eleanor had sewn
00:47:43stitch by stitch.
00:47:44Winslow silently
00:47:45threw away
00:47:46the wooden boat
00:47:46in his hands.
00:47:50What a good boy.
00:47:52Those dolls and clothes
00:47:53had all been made
00:47:53by Eleanor herself
00:47:54from organic cotton
00:47:56and cashmere.
00:47:57When the children
00:47:57were little,
00:47:58they had allergies
00:47:58and could only
00:47:59touch natural fabrics.
00:48:02Now they were all
00:48:03thrown into the trash.
00:48:05At the dining table,
00:48:06Lydia sat at the head
00:48:07and laid out utensils
00:48:09for the two children.
00:48:11William poured
00:48:12sparkling water for her
00:48:13and prepared her napkin,
00:48:15his eyes carrying
00:48:16a restrained affection
00:48:17Eleanor had never received.
00:48:19At night,
00:48:20the four of them
00:48:21swung in the backyard
00:48:22and looked at the stars.
00:48:24When Eleanor passed by,
00:48:25they ignored her completely
00:48:27as if she were invisible.
00:48:29What was even more absurd
00:48:30was that all three of them
00:48:32had always been demanding
00:48:33about quality of life.
00:48:35Now Lydia had ruined
00:48:36his manuscripts
00:48:37and William only said
00:48:38it was fine.
00:48:40The children wore
00:48:40casually washed clothes
00:48:42and ate take-out pizza
00:48:43and not one of them complained.
00:48:46William,
00:48:46who was obsessed
00:48:47with cleanliness,
00:48:48even personally cooked
00:48:49pancakes with Lydia.
00:48:52Mr. Harrington treats
00:48:53Miss Kentington so well.
00:48:56Poor Mrs. Harrington
00:48:57worked herself to the bone
00:48:58for so long
00:48:59and she still can't compare
00:49:00to a few days
00:49:01with Miss Kentington.
00:49:04Eleanor listened,
00:49:06her heart perfectly calm.
00:49:08That day,
00:49:09William pushed open
00:49:10the courtyard gate,
00:49:11his tone somewhat gentler.
00:49:13Enough.
00:49:14This has gone on long enough.
00:49:16I'm busy with work.
00:49:18From now on,
00:49:19you'll take care
00:49:20of the children again.
00:49:21Lydia is young
00:49:22and can't manage it.
00:49:23A belated birthday gift.
00:49:25Starting tomorrow,
00:49:26everything goes back
00:49:27to normal.
00:49:27This ends here.
00:49:28Eleanor looked
00:49:29at the bracelet.
00:49:30If this had been
00:49:31her last life,
00:49:32she would have been
00:49:33so happy.
00:49:34She couldn't sleep
00:49:35all night.
00:49:36Now it only feels ironic.
00:49:38I don't want it.
00:49:41Why?
00:49:42I'm not interested anymore.
00:49:44William frowned
00:49:45and forced it
00:49:46into her hand.
00:49:47Eleanor turned
00:49:48her head away
00:49:49and remained silent.
00:49:51William stared hard
00:49:52at her calm profile,
00:49:53a tight ache
00:49:54in his chest.
00:49:55In the end,
00:49:56he abruptly turned
00:49:56and left.
00:49:58She told the housekeeper
00:49:59to take the thing away
00:50:00and continued reading.
00:50:05Madam!
00:50:06Hurry to the back hill!
00:50:08Winslow and Sophie
00:50:09fell into the river!
00:50:10Come on!
00:50:20In his memory,
00:50:21Winslow and Sophie
00:50:22were the people
00:50:23she cared about most.
00:50:24But now the children
00:50:25had concussions.
00:50:27And she seemed
00:50:28completely unmoved.
00:50:30Mrs. Harrington
00:50:31has been like
00:50:31a different person lately.
00:50:33Last week was her birthday.
00:50:34She baked a lemon cake
00:50:35herself,
00:50:36but Mr. Harrington
00:50:36took the children's scheme
00:50:37with Miss Kensington instead.
00:50:39Who could feel fine
00:50:40after that?
00:50:42Lydia is my mentor's daughter.
00:50:44I was only doing it
00:50:45out of friendship.
00:50:50You're not telling the truth.
00:50:52We're husband and wife.
00:50:54If you have something to say,
00:50:56say it.
00:50:57Husband
00:50:57and wife!
00:50:59One month after her rebirth,
00:51:01every servant
00:51:02at the Westchester estate
00:51:03noticed that Mrs. Harrington
00:51:05had changed.
00:51:06She no longer got up
00:51:07at 5.30
00:51:07in the morning
00:51:08to make breakfast.
00:51:09She no longer
00:51:10pushed the children
00:51:11to study.
00:51:12She no longer
00:51:13drove to the university
00:51:14to deliver nutritious meals
00:51:15to William.
00:51:16Even when Winslow
00:51:17and Sophie fell off
00:51:18their horses
00:51:18and got concussions,
00:51:20she only calmly
00:51:21told the housekeeper
00:51:22to take them
00:51:22to the hospital.
00:51:23A night of wind
00:51:24and snow passed.
00:51:25William pushed the door open
00:51:26and stepped inside.
00:51:28He took off his coat
00:51:29and finally looked
00:51:30toward Eleanor,
00:51:31who was reading
00:51:31by the fireplace.
00:51:33What has been going
00:51:34on with you lately?
00:51:35Eleanor's hand paused
00:51:36on the page.
00:51:37Under the dim yellow light,
00:51:38the man in the white shirt
00:51:39looked cool
00:51:40and aristocratic,
00:51:41but his voice
00:51:42was as cold
00:51:43as a timer
00:51:43in a lab.
00:51:46Nothing.
00:51:47I've just been
00:51:47a little busy.
00:51:48Her calm distance
00:51:49made William's brows tighten.
00:51:51In his memory,
00:51:52Winslow and Sophie
00:51:53were the people
00:51:54she cared about most.
00:51:55But now the children
00:51:56had concussions,
00:51:58and she seemed
00:51:59completely unmoved.
00:52:01Mrs. Harrington
00:52:02has been like
00:52:03a different person lately.
00:52:04Last week
00:52:05was her birthday.
00:52:05She baked a lemon cake
00:52:06herself,
00:52:07but Mr. Harrington
00:52:08took the children
00:52:08skiing with Miss Kensington
00:52:09instead.
00:52:10Who could feel fine
00:52:11after that?
00:52:13Lydia is my mentor's
00:52:14daughter.
00:52:15I was only doing it
00:52:16out of friendship.
00:52:21You're not telling
00:52:22the truth.
00:52:23We're husband and wife.
00:52:25If you have something
00:52:26to say,
00:52:27say it.
00:52:28Husband
00:52:29and wife!
00:52:31Eleanor thought
00:52:31of the marriage
00:52:32certificate in the safe,
00:52:33the one with William
00:52:34and Lydia's names on it,
00:52:36and almost laughed.
00:52:37Before she could speak,
00:52:39the study door
00:52:40was shoved open.
00:52:41You're so mean!
00:52:43I was in the hospital
00:52:44and you didn't even
00:52:45come see me!
00:52:46I hate you!
00:52:47Winslow stood to the side.
00:52:49His eyes red,
00:52:50his lips pressed tight.
00:52:52William was about
00:52:53to stop her,
00:52:54but Eleanor spoke first.
00:52:55Then go find
00:52:56Miss Kensington.
00:52:57Let her take care of you.
00:53:01Do you mean that?
00:53:03I do.
00:53:05Sophie burst into tears,
00:53:06sobbing as she screamed
00:53:07that Eleanor
00:53:08was the worst mother
00:53:09in the world.
00:53:10She cried until
00:53:10she could barely breathe,
00:53:11but Eleanor
00:53:12did not react at all.
00:53:13Fine.
00:53:14Suit yourself.
00:53:18Winslow called Dad twice,
00:53:20but no one answered.
00:53:22Anxious,
00:53:22he looked back at Eleanor
00:53:24and glared at her.
00:53:26Why do you always
00:53:28have to fight with Dad?
00:53:31You should go too.
00:53:33You didn't used
00:53:34to be like this.
00:53:36Eleanor did not answer.
00:53:37She simply shut him
00:53:38outside the door.
00:53:41She leaned back
00:53:41on the chaise
00:53:42and looked at the family
00:53:43portrait on the wall,
00:53:45remembering her last life.
00:53:48The Sinclair family
00:53:49went bankrupt.
00:53:50She was forced
00:53:51to drop out of school,
00:53:52and her stepfather
00:53:53wanted to marry her off
00:53:54to a 63-year-old
00:53:55hedge fund manager.
00:53:57It was William Harrington
00:53:58who saved her,
00:53:59saying he had chosen
00:54:00her as his wife.
00:54:01He was not only
00:54:02the heir to the
00:54:03Harrington family,
00:54:03but also Columbia
00:54:04University's chief scientist.
00:54:06A genius in gene editing,
00:54:08everyone envied her,
00:54:09but on the first day
00:54:10of their marriage,
00:54:11William said,
00:54:12I married you only
00:54:13to satisfy the family trust.
00:54:15Do your duty
00:54:16as Mrs. Harrington.
00:54:19She nodded
00:54:19with a pale face,
00:54:20but her heart
00:54:22still fell for him.
00:54:23After the wedding,
00:54:24she cooked for him herself,
00:54:26ironed his shirts,
00:54:27nursed his stomach problems,
00:54:29and helped him organize
00:54:30his lab data.
00:54:31During a difficult labor,
00:54:32she gritted her teeth
00:54:33and signed for
00:54:34surgical consent form alone.
00:54:36Later,
00:54:37when she was diagnosed
00:54:38with pancreatic cancer,
00:54:40she kept it to herself
00:54:41and secretly went
00:54:42for treatment.
00:54:43At the end of her life,
00:54:44she lay in a hospice ward,
00:54:46her hair completely white.
00:54:48On the television,
00:54:49William had just won
00:54:50the Nobel Prize in medicine.
00:54:52While Winslow and Sophie
00:54:53had received their
00:54:54Ivy League acceptance letters,
00:54:55the host asked
00:54:56whom he wanted
00:54:56to thank most.
00:54:59The person I am
00:55:00most grateful to
00:55:01is my wife, Lydia.
00:55:03She was my first love,
00:55:04and she is the love
00:55:05of my life.
00:55:06Did I just hear
00:55:07that wrong?
00:55:11This is what you owe Dad.
00:55:13Miss Kensington
00:55:14is the one who registered
00:55:15her marriage with him
00:55:16at City Hall.
00:55:17You came later.
00:55:18We have to catch a flight
00:55:19to Dad and Miss
00:55:20Kennington's wedding
00:55:21in Napa Valley.
00:55:24On the day she died,
00:55:26that grand wedding
00:55:27was playing on television.
00:55:29She closed her eyes
00:55:30in agony.
00:55:32After being reborn,
00:55:34she did only two things.
00:55:35Register for the
00:55:36graduate entrance exam
00:55:37and apply to graduate school.
00:55:39Then go to the
00:55:40social security office
00:55:41to replace her
00:55:42social security card
00:55:43and apply for
00:55:44a new passport.
00:55:45She had already taken
00:55:46the exam in secret.
00:55:47In one week,
00:55:48the admissions result
00:55:49would be out.
00:55:52I'll leave this family
00:55:53for good.
00:55:55As she was thinking,
00:55:56a commotion rose
00:55:57outside the door.
00:56:00Madam,
00:56:01Mr. Harrington asks
00:56:02that you clear out
00:56:03the master bedroom
00:56:04for Miss Kensington.
00:56:05You are to move
00:56:06to the guest room.
00:56:08All right.
00:56:09Mr. Harrington said
00:56:10you should move
00:56:11your things yourself.
00:56:13Eleanor nodded,
00:56:14quickly packed
00:56:15a few clothes
00:56:16and her books,
00:56:16then picked up the box
00:56:18and prepared to leave
00:56:19before she reached
00:56:20the door.
00:56:21A hand struck hers hard
00:56:22and everything
00:56:23fell to the floor.
00:56:24She looked up
00:56:25and saw Lydia Kensington.
00:56:28Eleanor,
00:56:29long time no see.
00:56:31Eleanor crouched down
00:56:32to pick up her books.
00:56:33Eleanor,
00:56:34you're still so capable.
00:56:35Unlike me,
00:56:37all I know how to do
00:56:38is spend William's money.
00:56:39Even when you were
00:56:40having a difficult delivery,
00:56:41he was thinking of me.
00:56:43He transferred
00:56:44most of the family assets
00:56:45into a trust
00:56:46for me to manage
00:56:46and even let me
00:56:47join the research institute.
00:56:49Eleanor flinched
00:56:50from the pain
00:56:51and shook her off.
00:56:52Lydia staggered backward
00:56:53and fell right
00:56:54into William's arms
00:56:55as he rushed over.
00:56:57Winslow and Sophie
00:56:58followed behind him,
00:56:59surrounding her
00:57:00with worried faces.
00:57:02Lydia,
00:57:03are you all right?
00:57:04I'm fine.
00:57:08William,
00:57:09maybe I should just leave.
00:57:10Eleanor doesn't
00:57:11seem to welcome me.
00:57:13William looked
00:57:14at Eleanor in silence.
00:57:15Eleanor withdrew
00:57:16her gaze from her son
00:57:17and daughter
00:57:18and hid her bruised hand
00:57:19behind her back.
00:57:20I'm not unwilling.
00:57:22I'll leave right away.
00:57:26You're really moving out?
00:57:29You're leaving
00:57:29all this behind too?
00:57:30It was the only gift
00:57:32he had ever given her.
00:57:33Back then,
00:57:34she had been so happy
00:57:35she couldn't sleep all night.
00:57:36You're the one
00:57:37who told me
00:57:38to clear out the room.
00:57:39I'm not the one
00:57:40abandoning it.
00:57:41Then why aren't
00:57:42you taking it with you?
00:57:43There are too many things.
00:57:45I can't carry them.
00:57:46Sophie ran over.
00:57:47When she saw
00:57:48her plush toy in the box,
00:57:50her little face
00:57:50flushed red.
00:57:51She's throwing
00:57:52my things away!
00:57:53If you keep acting
00:57:55like this,
00:57:55I'll never go
00:57:56to science camp again!
00:57:59You're a bad mom!
00:58:00You're not even
00:58:01as good as Lydia's
00:58:02little finger!
00:58:03I'm gonna live
00:58:04with Lydia
00:58:04from now on!
00:58:06If this had been before,
00:58:07those words
00:58:08would have torn
00:58:09her heart apart.
00:58:10But now,
00:58:10she was already
00:58:11exhausted.
00:58:13Do whatever you want.
00:58:17The moment
00:58:18she stepped
00:58:18into the guest room,
00:58:19the housekeeper
00:58:20locked the door.
00:58:22Madam,
00:58:23Mr. Harrington
00:58:23said that since
00:58:24you pushed
00:58:25Miss Kendington,
00:58:25you need to calm
00:58:26down in here tonight.
00:58:28Eleanor did not respond.
00:58:30She lay on the bed
00:58:31and listened to the rain.
00:58:32In her dream,
00:58:33William promised
00:58:34her love and respect.
00:58:35But in the end,
00:58:36there was only
00:58:37her lying alone
00:58:38in a hospital bed
00:58:39while on television.
00:58:40Her husband
00:58:41walked toward
00:58:41the wedding hall,
00:58:42hand in hand
00:58:43with Lydia.
00:58:44She laughed
00:58:44until tears fell,
00:58:45then murmured aloud,
00:58:49If there is
00:58:50another life,
00:58:51I will never
00:58:51love you again.
00:58:55Not love me?
00:58:57Eleanor,
00:58:58say that again.
00:58:59Don't open
00:58:59your eyes.
00:59:00Eleanor forced
00:59:01herself not to
00:59:02open her eyes.
00:59:03He saw that
00:59:04her eyes were closed,
00:59:05so she had only
00:59:06been talking
00:59:06in her sleep.
00:59:07You let out
00:59:07a breath.
00:59:09William,
00:59:10what are you doing?
00:59:12Are you worried
00:59:13about Eleanor?
00:59:14This is all my fault.
00:59:18This isn't your fault.
00:59:23William,
00:59:25if Eleanor finds out
00:59:26that you and I
00:59:27registered our marriage,
00:59:28will she be angry?
00:59:30It was an emergency
00:59:31then.
00:59:32Your father wanted
00:59:33to see you married
00:59:33before he died.
00:59:34even if Eleanor
00:59:36knew she wouldn't
00:59:36blame you.
00:59:37Don't worry.
00:59:38She won't blame him.
00:59:40Not for the rest
00:59:40of her life.
00:59:42On Lydia's first
00:59:42day after moving in,
00:59:44she soaked
00:59:44William's laboratory
00:59:45manuscripts.
00:59:46They were all
00:59:46gene editing diagrams
00:59:48William had drawn
00:59:49by hand,
00:59:50stroke by stroke.
00:59:51He had worked
00:59:52himself into a
00:59:53severe stomach
00:59:54ulcer over them.
00:59:56But when he met
00:59:57Lydia's reddened eyes,
00:59:58he only took her hand.
01:00:01Wipe your hands.
01:00:02I'll handle it.
01:00:03The next day,
01:00:05Lydia redecorated
01:00:06the house inside
01:00:07and out.
01:00:08Sweet Fofy,
01:00:10your plush toys
01:00:11are too old.
01:00:12Let's throw them
01:00:13away, okay?
01:00:14Sophie immediately
01:00:15threw away the
01:00:15handmade dolls.
01:00:16Eleanor had sewn
01:00:17stitch by stitch.
01:00:18Winslow silently
01:00:19threw away the
01:00:20wooden boat
01:00:20in his hands.
01:00:24What a good boy.
01:00:25Those dolls and
01:00:26clothes had all
01:00:27been made by
01:00:27Eleanor herself,
01:00:28from organic cotton
01:00:29and cashmere.
01:00:30When the children
01:00:31were little,
01:00:31they had allergies
01:00:32and could only
01:00:33touch natural
01:00:34fabrics.
01:00:36Now they were all
01:00:37thrown into the
01:00:37trash.
01:00:39At the dining table,
01:00:40Lydia sat at the
01:00:41head and laid out
01:00:42utensils for the
01:00:43two children.
01:00:45William poured
01:00:45sparkling water for
01:00:46her and prepared
01:00:47her napkin,
01:00:48his eyes carrying a
01:00:50restrained affection
01:00:50Eleanor had never
01:00:51received.
01:00:53At night,
01:00:54the four of them
01:00:54swung in the
01:00:55backyard and looked
01:00:56at the stars.
01:00:58When Eleanor passed
01:00:59by, they ignored
01:01:00her completely,
01:01:01as if she were
01:01:02invisible.
01:01:03What was even more
01:01:04absurd was that all
01:01:05three of them had
01:01:06always been demanding
01:01:06about quality of life.
01:01:08Now Lydia had ruined
01:01:10his manuscripts,
01:01:11and William only
01:01:12said it was fine.
01:01:13The children wore
01:01:14casually washed
01:01:15clothes and ate
01:01:16take-out pizza,
01:01:17and not one of them
01:01:18complained.
01:01:19William, who was
01:01:20obsessed with
01:01:21cleanliness, even
01:01:22personally cooked
01:01:23pancakes with Lydia.
01:01:26Mr. Harrington
01:01:27treats Miss
01:01:27Kentington so well.
01:01:30Poor Mrs. Harrington
01:01:31worked herself to the
01:01:32bone for so long,
01:01:33and she still can't
01:01:34compare to a few days
01:01:34with Miss Kentington.
01:01:38Eleanor listened,
01:01:39her heart perfectly
01:01:40calm.
01:01:42That day, William
01:01:43pushed open the
01:01:44courtyard gate,
01:01:45his tone somewhat
01:01:46gentler.
01:01:47Enough.
01:01:48This has gone on
01:01:49long enough.
01:01:50I'm busy with work.
01:01:52From now on,
01:01:53you'll take care of
01:01:54the children again.
01:01:55Lydia is young
01:01:56and can't manage it,
01:01:57a belated birthday gift.
01:01:59Starting tomorrow,
01:02:00everything goes back
01:02:00to normal.
01:02:01This ends here.
01:02:02Eleanor looked at
01:02:03the bracelet.
01:02:04If this had been
01:02:05her last life,
01:02:06she would have been
01:02:07so happy.
01:02:08She couldn't sleep
01:02:09all night.
01:02:09Now it only feels
01:02:10ironic.
01:02:12I don't want it.
01:02:14Why?
01:02:16I'm not interested
01:02:17anymore.
01:02:18William frowned
01:02:19and forced it
01:02:20into her hand.
01:02:21Eleanor turned
01:02:22her head away
01:02:23and remained silent.
01:02:25William stared
01:02:25hard at her
01:02:26calm profile,
01:02:27a tight ache
01:02:28in his chest.
01:02:29In the end,
01:02:29he abruptly
01:02:30turned and left.
01:02:32She told the
01:02:32housekeeper to
01:02:33take the thing
01:02:33away and
01:02:34continued reading.
01:02:39Madam,
01:02:40hurry to the
01:02:41back hill.
01:02:42Wingslow and
01:02:42Sophie fell into
01:02:43the river.
01:02:53In his memory,
01:02:55Wingslow and
01:02:56Sophie were the
01:02:56people she cared
01:02:57about most.
01:02:58But now the
01:02:59children had
01:02:59concussions.
01:03:01And she seemed
01:03:02completely unmoved.
01:03:04Mrs. Harrington
01:03:05has been like a
01:03:05different person
01:03:06lately.
01:03:07Last week was
01:03:07her birthday.
01:03:08She baked a
01:03:09lemon cake
01:03:09herself, but Mr.
01:03:10Harrington took
01:03:10the children skiing
01:03:11with Miss Kensington
01:03:12instead.
01:03:13Who could feel
01:03:13fine after that?
01:03:16Lydia is my
01:03:16mentor's daughter.
01:03:18I was only doing
01:03:19it out of
01:03:19friendship.
01:03:24You're not
01:03:25telling the truth.
01:03:26We're husband
01:03:27and wife.
01:03:28If you have
01:03:29something to say,
01:03:29say it.
01:03:31Husband and
01:03:32wife.
01:03:33One month
01:03:33after her
01:03:34rebirth, every
01:03:35servant at the
01:03:36Westchester estate
01:03:37noticed that
01:03:38Mrs. Harrington
01:03:38had changed.
01:03:39She no longer
01:03:40got up at
01:03:415.30 in the
01:03:42morning to make
01:03:43breakfast.
01:03:43She no longer
01:03:44pushed the
01:03:44children to
01:03:45study.
01:03:46She no longer
01:03:47drove to the
01:03:47university to
01:03:48deliver nutritious
01:03:49meals to
01:03:49William, even
01:03:50when Winslow
01:03:51and Sophie fell
01:03:51off their
01:03:52horses and
01:03:53got concussions.
01:03:54She only
01:03:54calmly told the
01:03:55housekeeper to
01:03:56take them to
01:03:56the hospital.
01:03:57A night of
01:03:57wind and
01:03:58snow passed.
01:03:59William pushed
01:03:59the door open
01:04:00and stepped
01:04:01inside.
01:04:01He took
01:04:02off his
01:04:02coat and
01:04:03finally looked
01:04:04toward Eleanor,
01:04:05who was
01:04:05reading by
01:04:05the fireplace.
01:04:07What has
01:04:07been going
01:04:08on with
01:04:08you lately?
01:04:09Eleanor's
01:04:09hand paused
01:04:10on the
01:04:10page.
01:04:10Under the
01:04:11dim yellow
01:04:11light, the
01:04:12man in the
01:04:13white shirt
01:04:13looked cool
01:04:14and aristocratic,
01:04:15but his voice
01:04:16was as cold
01:04:16as a timer
01:04:17in a lab.
01:04:19Nothing.
01:04:20I've just been
01:04:21a little busy.
01:04:22Her calm
01:04:23distance made
01:04:23William's brows
01:04:24tighten.
01:04:25In his memory,
01:04:26Winslow and
01:04:27Sophie were the
01:04:27people she
01:04:28cared about
01:04:28most, but
01:04:29now the
01:04:30children had
01:04:30concussions,
01:04:31emotions, and
01:04:33she seemed
01:04:33completely unmoved.
01:04:35Mrs. Harrington
01:04:36has been like
01:04:36a different
01:04:37person lately.
01:04:38Last week was
01:04:39her birthday.
01:04:39She baked a
01:04:40lemon cake
01:04:40herself, but
01:04:41Mr. Harrington
01:04:41took the
01:04:42children skiing
01:04:42with Miss
01:04:43Kensington
01:04:43instead.
01:04:44Who could
01:04:44feel fine
01:04:44after that?
01:04:47Lydia is
01:04:47my mentor's
01:04:48daughter.
01:04:49I was only
01:04:50doing it out
01:04:50of friendship.
01:04:55You're not
01:04:56telling the
01:04:56truth.
01:04:57We're husband
01:04:58and wife.
01:04:59If you have
01:05:00something to
01:05:00say, say
01:05:01it.
01:05:02Husband
01:05:02and wife!
01:05:04Eleanor
01:05:05thought of the
01:05:05marriage certificate
01:05:06in the safe,
01:05:07the one with
01:05:08William and
01:05:08Lydia's names
01:05:09on it, and
01:05:10almost laughed.
01:05:11Before she
01:05:12could speak,
01:05:13the study door
01:05:13was shoved
01:05:14open.
01:05:15You're so
01:05:15mean!
01:05:16I was in the
01:05:17hospital and
01:05:18you didn't
01:05:19even come see
01:05:19me!
01:05:20I hate you!
01:05:21Winslow stood
01:05:22to the side,
01:05:23his eyes red,
01:05:24his lips
01:05:25pressed tight.
01:05:26William was
01:05:26about to stop
01:05:27her, but
01:05:28Eleanor spoke
01:05:28first.
01:05:29Then go find
01:05:30Miss Kendington.
01:05:31Let her take
01:05:32care of you.
01:05:35Do you mean
01:05:36that?
01:05:37I do.
01:05:38Sophie burst
01:05:39into tears,
01:05:40sobbing as she
01:05:41screamed that
01:05:41Eleanor was the
01:05:42worst mother in
01:05:43the world.
01:05:43She cried until
01:05:44she could barely
01:05:44breathe, but
01:05:45Eleanor did not
01:05:46react at all.
01:05:47Fine.
01:05:48Suit yourself.
01:05:52Winslow called
01:05:53Dad twice, but
01:05:54no one answered.
01:05:55Anxious, he
01:05:57looked back at
01:05:57Eleanor and
01:05:58glared at her.
01:06:00Why do you
01:06:01always have to
01:06:02fight with
01:06:02Dad?
01:06:04You should go
01:06:05too.
01:06:06You didn't
01:06:07used to be
01:06:08like this.
01:06:09Eleanor did
01:06:10not answer.
01:06:11She simply
01:06:12shut him
01:06:12outside the
01:06:13door.
01:06:14She leaned
01:06:15back on the
01:06:15chaise and
01:06:16looked at the
01:06:17family portrait
01:06:17on the wall,
01:06:18remembering her
01:06:19last life.
01:06:21The Sinclair
01:06:22family went
01:06:23bankrupt.
01:06:23She was forced
01:06:25to drop out
01:06:25of school,
01:06:26and her
01:06:26stepfather
01:06:27wanted to
01:06:27marry her
01:06:28off to a
01:06:2863-year-old
01:06:29hedge fund
01:06:30manager.
01:06:30It was
01:06:31William Harrington
01:06:32who saved
01:06:32her, saying
01:06:33he had chosen
01:06:34her as his
01:06:34wife.
01:06:35He was not
01:06:35only the heir
01:06:36to the
01:06:36Harrington
01:06:37family, but
01:06:38also Columbia
01:06:38University's
01:06:39chief scientist.
01:06:40A genius in
01:06:41gene editing,
01:06:42everyone envied
01:06:43her, but on
01:06:43the first day
01:06:44of their
01:06:44marriage, William
01:06:45said,
01:06:46I married you
01:06:47only to satisfy
01:06:48the family
01:06:48trust.
01:06:49Do your duty
01:06:50as Mrs. Harrington.
01:06:52She nodded
01:06:53with a pale face,
01:06:54but her heart
01:06:55still fell for him.
01:06:57After the wedding,
01:06:58she cooked for
01:06:59him herself,
01:07:00ironed his
01:07:00shirts, nursed
01:07:01his stomach
01:07:02problems, and
01:07:03helped him
01:07:03organize his
01:07:04lab data.
01:07:05During a
01:07:05difficult labor,
01:07:06she gritted
01:07:07her teeth and
01:07:07signed for
01:07:08surgical consent
01:07:09form alone.
01:07:10Later, when
01:07:11she was diagnosed
01:07:12with pancreatic
01:07:13cancer, she
01:07:14kept it to
01:07:14herself and
01:07:15secretly went
01:07:16for treatment.
01:07:17At the end
01:07:17of her life,
01:07:18she lay in a
01:07:19hospice ward, her
01:07:20hair completely
01:07:21white.
01:07:22On the
01:07:22television, William
01:07:23had just won
01:07:24the Nobel Prize
01:07:25in medicine.
01:07:26While Winslow
01:07:26and Sophie had
01:07:27received their
01:07:28Ivy League
01:07:28acceptance letters,
01:07:29the host asked
01:07:30whom he wanted
01:07:30to thank most.
01:07:33The person I am
01:07:34most grateful to
01:07:35is my wife,
01:07:35Lydia.
01:07:36She was my
01:07:37first love, and
01:07:38she is the
01:07:39love of my
01:07:39life.
01:07:40Did I just
01:07:41hear that
01:07:42wrong?
01:07:45This is what
01:07:45you owe, Dad.
01:07:47Miss Kensington
01:07:48is the one who
01:07:48registered her
01:07:49marriage with him
01:07:49at City Hall.
01:07:51You came later.
01:07:52We have to
01:07:52catch a flight to
01:07:53Dad and Miss
01:07:54Kennington's
01:07:54wedding in
01:07:55Napa Valley.
01:07:58On the day
01:07:59she died, that
01:08:00grand wedding
01:08:01was playing on
01:08:01television.
01:08:02She closed her
01:08:03eyes in agony.
01:08:06After being
01:08:07reborn, she
01:08:08did only two
01:08:08things, register
01:08:09for the graduate
01:08:10entrance exam, and
01:08:11apply to graduate
01:08:12school, then go
01:08:13to the social
01:08:14security office to
01:08:15replace her social
01:08:16security card, and
01:08:17apply for a new
01:08:18passport.
01:08:19She had already
01:08:19taken the exam in
01:08:20secret.
01:08:21In one week, the
01:08:22admissions result
01:08:23would be out.
01:08:26I'll leave this
01:08:27family for good.
01:08:28As she was
01:08:29thinking, a commotion
01:08:30rose outside the
01:08:31door.
01:08:34madam, Mr. Harrington
01:08:36asks that you
01:08:37clear out the
01:08:37master bedroom for
01:08:38Miss Kennington.
01:08:39You are to move to
01:08:40the guest room.
01:08:42All right.
01:08:43Mr. Harrington
01:08:43said you should
01:08:45move your things
01:08:45yourself.
01:08:47Eleanor nodded,
01:08:48quickly packed a
01:08:49few clothes and her
01:08:50books, then picked
01:08:51up the box and
01:08:52prepared to leave.
01:08:53Before she reached
01:08:54the door, a hand
01:08:55struck hers hard, and
01:08:56everything fell to the
01:08:57floor.
01:08:58She looked up and
01:08:59saw Lydia Kensington.
01:09:02Eleanor, long time
01:09:04no see.
01:09:04Eleanor crouched
01:09:05down to pick up her
01:09:06books.
01:09:07Eleanor, you're still
01:09:08so capable.
01:09:09Unlike me, all I
01:09:11know how to do is
01:09:12spend William's money.
01:09:13Even when you were
01:09:14having a difficult
01:09:15delivery, he was
01:09:15thinking of me.
01:09:16He transferred most
01:09:18of the family assets
01:09:19into a trust for me
01:09:20to manage, and even
01:09:21let me join the
01:09:22research institute.
01:09:23Eleanor flinched
01:09:24from the pain and
01:09:25shook her off.
01:09:26Lydia staggered
01:09:27backward and fell
01:09:28right into William's
01:09:29arms as he rushed
01:09:30over.
01:09:31Winslow and Sophie
01:09:32followed behind
01:09:32him, surrounding
01:09:33her with worried
01:09:34faces.
01:09:36Lydia, are you
01:09:37alright?
01:09:38I'm fine.
01:09:42William, maybe I
01:09:43should just leave.
01:09:44Eleanor doesn't seem
01:09:45to welcome me.
01:09:47William looked at
01:09:47Eleanor in silence.
01:09:49Eleanor withdrew her
01:09:50gaze from her son and
01:09:51daughter, and hid her
01:09:52bruised hand behind
01:09:53her back.
01:09:54I'm not willing.
01:09:56I'll leave right
01:09:57away.
01:10:00You're really
01:10:01moving out?
01:10:02You're leaving all
01:10:03this behind too?
01:10:04It was the only
01:10:05gift he had ever
01:10:06given her.
01:10:07Back then, she had
01:10:08been so happy she
01:10:09couldn't sleep all
01:10:09night.
01:10:10You're the one who
01:10:11told me to clear out
01:10:12the room.
01:10:13I'm not the one
01:10:13abandoning it.
01:10:15Then why aren't you
01:10:16taking it with you?
01:10:17There are too many
01:10:18things.
01:10:18I can't carry them.
01:10:20Sophie ran over.
01:10:21When she saw her
01:10:22plush toy in the box,
01:10:23her little face
01:10:24flushed red.
01:10:25She's throwing my
01:10:26things away!
01:10:27If you keep acting
01:10:28like this, I'll never
01:10:30go to science camp
01:10:31again.
01:10:32You're a bad mom!
01:10:34You're not even as
01:10:35good as Lydia's
01:10:36little finger!
01:10:37I'm gonna live with
01:10:38Lydia from now on!
01:10:40If this had been
01:10:40before, those words
01:10:42would have torn her
01:10:43heart apart.
01:10:43But now, she was
01:10:45already exhausted.
01:10:47Do whatever you want.
01:10:51The moment she
01:10:52stepped into the
01:10:52guest room, the
01:10:53housekeeper locked
01:10:54the door.
01:10:56Madam, Mr.
01:10:57Harrington said that
01:10:58since you pushed
01:10:58Miss Kendington, you
01:10:59need to calm down in
01:11:00here tonight.
01:11:02Eleanor did not
01:11:03respond.
01:11:03She lay on the bed
01:11:04and listened to the
01:11:05rain.
01:11:06In her dream, William
01:11:07promised her love and
01:11:08respect.
01:11:09But in the end, there
01:11:10was only her lying alone
01:11:12in a hospital bed while
01:11:13on television.
01:11:14Her husband walked
01:11:15toward the wedding
01:11:15hall, hand in hand
01:11:17with Lydia.
01:11:17She laughed until
01:11:18tears fell, then
01:11:19murmured aloud.
01:11:23If there is another
01:11:24life, I will never
01:11:25love you again.
01:11:29Not love me?
01:11:31Eleanor, say that
01:11:32again.
01:11:32Don't open your
01:11:33eyes.
01:11:34Eleanor forced herself
01:11:35not to open her
01:11:36eyes.
01:11:37He saw that her eyes
01:11:38were closed, so she
01:11:39had only been talking
01:11:40in her sleep.
01:11:41He let out a breath.
01:11:43William, what are
01:11:45you doing?
01:11:46Are you worried
01:11:47about Eleanor?
01:11:48This is all my fault.
01:11:52This isn't your fault.
01:11:58William, if Eleanor
01:11:59finds out that you and
01:12:00I registered our
01:12:01marriage, will she be
01:12:03angry?
01:12:03It was an emergency
01:12:05then.
01:12:06Your father wanted to
01:12:07see you married before
01:12:07he died.
01:12:08Even if Eleanor knew
01:12:10she wouldn't blame you.
01:12:11Don't worry.
01:12:12She won't blame him.
01:12:13Not for the rest of her
01:12:14life.
01:12:15On Lydia's first day
01:12:16after moving in, she
01:12:18soaked William's
01:12:18laboratory manuscripts.
01:12:20They were all gene
01:12:21editing diagrams William
01:12:22had drawn by hand,
01:12:24stroke by stroke.
01:12:25He had worked himself
01:12:26into a severe stomach
01:12:27ulcer over them.
01:12:29But when he met
01:12:30Lydia's reddened eyes,
01:12:32he only took her hand.
01:12:34Wipe your hands.
01:12:36I'll handle it.
01:12:37The next day, Lydia
01:12:39redecorated the house
01:12:40inside and out.
01:12:42Sweet Fofie, your plush
01:12:44toys are too old.
01:12:46Let's throw them away,
01:12:47okay?
01:12:48Sophie immediately threw
01:12:49away the handmade dolls.
01:12:50Eleanor had sewn stitch
01:12:51by stitch.
01:12:52Winslow silently threw away
01:12:53the wooden boat in his
01:12:54hands.
01:12:57What a good boy.
01:12:59Those dolls and clothes
01:13:00had all been made by
01:13:01Eleanor herself, from
01:13:02organic cotton and cashmere.
01:13:04When the children were
01:13:05little, they had allergies
01:13:06and could only touch
01:13:07natural fabrics.
01:13:10Now they were all
01:13:10thrown into the trash.
01:13:13At the dining table,
01:13:14Lydia sat at the head
01:13:15and laid out utensils
01:13:16for the two children.
01:13:18William poured sparkling
01:13:20water for her and
01:13:21prepared her napkin,
01:13:22his eyes carrying a
01:13:23restrained affection
01:13:24Eleanor had never
01:13:25received.
01:13:27At night, the four of
01:13:28them swung in the
01:13:29backyard and looked at
01:13:30the stars.
01:13:32When Eleanor passed by,
01:13:33they ignored her
01:13:34completely, as if she
01:13:36were invisible.
01:13:36What was even more
01:13:38absurd was that all
01:13:39three of them had
01:13:39always been demanding
01:13:40about quality of life.
01:13:42Now Lydia had ruined
01:13:43his manuscripts, and
01:13:45William only said it
01:13:46was fine.
01:13:47The children wore
01:13:48casually washed
01:13:49clothes and ate
01:13:50take-out pizza, and
01:13:51not one of them
01:13:52complained.
01:13:53William, who was
01:13:54obsessed with
01:13:55cleanliness, even
01:13:56personally cooked
01:13:57pancakes with Lydia.
01:14:00Mr. Harrington treats
01:14:01Miss Kentington so
01:14:02well.
01:14:04Poor Mrs. Harrington
01:14:05worked herself to the
01:14:06bone for so long, and
01:14:07she still can't compare
01:14:08to a few days with
01:14:08Miss Kentington.
01:14:12Eleanor listened, her
01:14:13heart perfectly calm.
01:14:16That day, William pushed
01:14:17open the courtyard gate,
01:14:18his tone somewhat
01:14:20gentler.
01:14:21Enough.
01:14:22This has gone on long
01:14:23enough.
01:14:24I'm busy with work.
01:14:26From now on, you'll
01:14:27take care of the
01:14:28children again.
01:14:29Lydia is young and
01:14:30can't manage it.
01:14:31A belated birthday gift.
01:14:33Starting tomorrow,
01:14:34everything goes back to
01:14:34normal.
01:14:35This ends here.
01:14:36Eleanor looked at the
01:14:37bracelet.
01:14:38If this had been her
01:14:39last life, she would
01:14:40have been so happy.
01:14:41She couldn't sleep all
01:14:43night.
01:14:43Now it only feels
01:14:44ironic.
01:14:46I don't want it.
01:14:48Why?
01:14:50I'm not interested
01:14:51anymore.
01:14:52William frowned and
01:14:53forced it into her
01:14:54hand.
01:14:55Eleanor turned her
01:14:56head away and
01:14:57remained silent.
01:14:58William stared hard
01:14:59at her calm profile,
01:15:01a tight ache in his
01:15:02chest.
01:15:03In the end, he
01:15:03abruptly turned and
01:15:04left.
01:15:05She told the
01:15:06housekeeper to take
01:15:07the thing away and
01:15:08continued reading.
01:15:13Madam!
01:15:14Hurry to the back
01:15:15hill!
01:15:15Winslow and Sophie
01:15:16fell into the river!
01:15:27In his memory,
01:15:29Winslow and Sophie
01:15:30were the people she
01:15:30cared about most.
01:15:32But now the children
01:15:33had concussions.
01:15:35And she seemed
01:15:36completely unmoved.
01:15:38Mrs. Harrington has
01:15:39been like a different
01:15:39person lately.
01:15:41Last week was her
01:15:41birthday.
01:15:42She baked a lemon
01:15:43cake herself, but
01:15:44Mr. Harrington took
01:15:44the children skiing with
01:15:45Miss Kensington instead.
01:15:46Who could feel fine
01:15:47after that?
01:15:49Lydia is my mentor's
01:15:51daughter.
01:15:52I was only doing it
01:15:53out of friendship.
01:15:58You're not telling
01:15:59the truth.
01:16:00We're husband and
01:16:01wife.
01:16:02If you have something
01:16:03to say, say it.
01:16:05Husband and wife!
01:16:06One month after her
01:16:08rebirth, every servant
01:16:09at the Westchester
01:16:10estate noticed that
01:16:12Mrs. Harrington had
01:16:12changed.
01:16:13She no longer got up
01:16:14at 5.30 in the
01:16:16morning to make
01:16:16breakfast.
01:16:17She no longer pushed
01:16:18the children to study.
01:16:19She no longer drove
01:16:21to the university to
01:16:22deliver nutritious meals
01:16:23to William.
01:16:24Even when Winslow and
01:16:25Sophie fell off their
01:16:26horses and got
01:16:27concussions, she only
01:16:28calmly told the
01:16:29housekeeper to take
01:16:30them to the hospital.
01:16:31A night of wind and
01:16:32snow passed.
01:16:33William pushed the
01:16:33door open and
01:16:34stepped inside.
01:16:35He took off his
01:16:36coat and finally looked
01:16:37toward Eleanor, who
01:16:39was reading by the
01:16:39fireplace.
01:16:41What has been going
01:16:41on with you lately?
01:16:42Eleanor's hand paused
01:16:43on the page.
01:16:44Under the dim yellow
01:16:45light, the man in the
01:16:47white shirt looked cool
01:16:48and aristocratic, but
01:16:49his voice was as cold
01:16:50as a timer in a lab.
01:16:53Nothing.
01:16:54I've just been a little
01:16:55busy.
01:16:56Her calm distance made
01:16:57William's brows tighten.
01:16:58In his memory, Winslow
01:17:00and Sophie were the
01:17:01people she cared about
01:17:02most.
01:17:03But now the children had
01:17:04concussions.
01:17:06And she seemed
01:17:07completely unmoved.
01:17:09Mrs. Harrington has been
01:17:10like a different person
01:17:11lately.
01:17:12Last week was her
01:17:12birthday.
01:17:13She baked a lemon cake
01:17:14herself, but Mr. Harrington
01:17:15took the children skiing
01:17:16with Miss Kensington
01:17:17instead.
01:17:17Who could feel fine
01:17:18after that?
01:17:20Lydia is my mentor's
01:17:22daughter.
01:17:23I was only doing it
01:17:24out of friendship.
01:17:29You're not telling
01:17:30the truth.
01:17:31We're husband and wife.
01:17:33If you have something
01:17:34to say, say it.
01:17:36Husband and wife.
01:17:38Eleanor thought of the
01:17:39marriage certificate
01:17:40in the safe, the one
01:17:41with William and Lydia's
01:17:42names on it, and almost
01:17:44laughed.
01:17:45Before she could speak,
01:17:46the steady door was
01:17:47shoved open.
01:17:48You're so mean!
01:17:50I was in the hospital
01:17:52and you didn't even
01:17:53come see me!
01:17:54I hate you!
01:17:55Winslow stood to the
01:17:56side.
01:17:57His eyes red, his lips
01:17:58pressed tight.
01:17:59William was about to
01:18:01stop her, but Eleanor
01:18:02spoke first.
01:18:03Then go find Miss
01:18:04Kensington.
01:18:05Let her take care of
01:18:06you.
01:18:09Do you mean that?
01:18:11I do.
01:18:12Sophie burst into tears,
01:18:14sobbing as she screamed
01:18:15that Eleanor was the
01:18:16worst mother in the world.
01:18:17She cried until she
01:18:18could barely breathe,
01:18:19but Eleanor did not
01:18:20react at all.
01:18:21Fine.
01:18:22Suit yourself.
01:18:26Winslow called Dad
01:18:27twice, but no one
01:18:28answered.
01:18:29Anxious, he looked
01:18:31back at Eleanor and
01:18:32glared at her.
01:18:34Why do you always
01:18:35have to fight with
01:18:36Dad?
01:18:38You should go too.
01:18:40You didn't used to be
01:18:41like this.
01:18:43Eleanor did not
01:18:44answer.
01:18:45She simply shut him
01:18:46outside the door.
01:18:48She leaned back on the
01:18:49chaise and looked at
01:18:50the family portrait on
01:18:51the wall, remembering
01:18:53her last life.
01:18:55The Sinclair family went
01:18:57bankrupt.
01:18:57She was forced to drop
01:18:59out of school, and her
01:19:00stepfather wanted to
01:19:01marry her off to a
01:19:0263-year-old hedge fund
01:19:03manager.
01:19:04It was William Harrington
01:19:05who saved her, saying
01:19:07he had chosen her as
01:19:08his wife.
01:19:09He was not only the
01:19:10heir to the Harrington
01:19:10family, but also
01:19:12Columbia University's
01:19:13chief scientist.
01:19:14A genius in gene
01:19:15editing, everyone envied
01:19:17her, but on the first
01:19:18day of their marriage,
01:19:19William said,
01:19:20I married you only to
01:19:21satisfy the family
01:19:22trust.
01:19:23Do your duty as
01:19:24Mrs. Harrington.
01:19:26She nodded with a
01:19:27pale face, but her
01:19:29heart still fell for
01:19:30him.
01:19:31After the wedding, she
01:19:32cooked for him
01:19:33herself, ironed his
01:19:34shirts, nursed his
01:19:35stomach problems, and
01:19:37helped him organize his
01:19:38lab data.
01:19:39During a difficult
01:19:39labor, she gritted her
01:19:41teeth and signed the
01:19:42surgical consent form
01:19:43alone.
01:19:44Later, when she was
01:19:45diagnosed with
01:19:46pancreatic cancer, she
01:19:48kept it to herself and
01:19:49secretly went for
01:19:50treatment.
01:19:51At the end of her
01:19:51life, she lay in a
01:19:52hospice ward, her hair
01:19:54completely white.
01:19:55On the television,
01:19:57William had just won the
01:19:58Nobel Prize in
01:19:59medicine.
01:19:59While Winslow and
01:20:00Sophie had received
01:20:01their Ivy League
01:20:02acceptance letters, the
01:20:03host asked whom he
01:20:04wanted to thank most.
01:20:07The person I am most
01:20:08grateful to is my wife,
01:20:09Lydia.
01:20:10She was my first love,
01:20:12and she is the love of
01:20:13my life.
01:20:14Did I just hear that
01:20:15wrong?
01:20:18This is what you owe
01:20:20Dad.
01:20:21Miss Kensington is the
01:20:22one who registered her
01:20:23marriage with him at
01:20:23City Hall.
01:20:25You came later.
01:20:26We have to catch a
01:20:27flight to Dad and
01:20:27Miss Kensington's
01:20:28wedding in Napa Valley.
01:20:32On the day she died,
01:20:34that grand wedding was
01:20:35playing on television,
01:20:36she closed her eyes in
01:20:38agony.
01:20:40After being reborn,
01:20:41she did only two things,
01:20:43register for the
01:20:44graduate entrance exam,
01:20:45and apply to graduate
01:20:46school, then go to the
01:20:47social security office to
01:20:49replace her social security
01:20:50card, and apply for a
01:20:52new passport.
01:20:52She had already taken the
01:20:53exam in secret.
01:20:55In one week, the
01:20:56admissions result would be
01:20:57out.
01:21:00I'll leave this family for
01:21:01good.
01:21:02As she was thinking, a
01:21:04commotion rose outside the
01:21:05door.
01:21:08Madam, Mr.
01:21:10Harrington asks that you
01:21:10clear out the master
01:21:11bedroom for Miss
01:21:12Kensington.
01:21:12and you are to move to
01:21:13the guest room.
01:21:15All right.
01:21:16Mr. Harrington said you
01:21:18should move your things
01:21:19yourself.
01:21:21Eleanor nodded, quickly
01:21:22packed a few clothes and
01:21:23her books, then picked up
01:21:25the box and prepared to
01:21:26leave.
01:21:27Before she reached the
01:21:28door, a hand struck hers
01:21:29hard, and everything fell
01:21:30to the floor.
01:21:31She looked up and saw
01:21:33Lydia Kensington.
01:21:36Eleanor, long time no see.
01:21:38Eleanor crouched down to
01:21:39pick up her books.
01:21:40Eleanor, you're still so
01:21:42capable.
01:21:43Unlike me, all I know how
01:21:45to do is spend William's
01:21:46money.
01:21:47Even when you were having a
01:21:48difficult delivery, he was
01:21:49thinking of me.
01:21:50He transferred most of the
01:21:52family assets into a trust for
01:21:53me to manage, and even let me
01:21:55join the research institute.
01:21:57Eleanor flinched from the pain
01:21:58and shook her off.
01:22:00Lydia staggered backward and
01:22:01fell right into William's arms
01:22:03as he rushed over.
01:22:04Winslow and Sophie followed
01:22:06behind him, surrounding her
01:22:07with worried faces.
01:22:10Lydia, are you alright?
01:22:12I'm fine.
01:22:15William, maybe I should just
01:22:17leave.
01:22:18Eleanor doesn't seem to welcome
01:22:19me.
01:22:20William looked at Eleanor in
01:22:22silence.
01:22:23Eleanor withdrew her gaze from
01:22:24her son and daughter, and hid
01:22:26her bruised hand behind her
01:22:27back.
01:22:28I'm not unwilling.
01:22:30I'll leave right away.
01:22:34You're really moving out?
01:22:36You're leaving all this behind
01:22:38too?
01:22:38It was the only gift he had
01:22:40ever given her.
01:22:40Back then, she had been so
01:22:42happy she couldn't sleep all
01:22:43night.
01:22:44You're the one who told me to
01:22:45clear out the room.
01:22:46I'm not the one abandoning it.
01:22:48Then why aren't you taking it
01:22:50with you?
01:22:51There are too many things.
01:22:52I can't carry them.
01:22:54Sophie ran over.
01:22:55When she saw her plush toy in
01:22:57the box, her little face
01:22:58flushed red.
01:22:59She's throwing my things
01:23:00away!
01:23:01If you keep acting like this,
01:23:03I'll never go to science
01:23:04camp again.
01:23:06You're a bad mom!
01:23:08You're not even as good as
01:23:09Lydia's little finger!
01:23:11I'm gonna live with Lydia from
01:23:12now on!
01:23:13If this had been before, those
01:23:15words would have torn her
01:23:17heart apart.
01:23:17But now, she was already
01:23:19exhausted.
01:23:21Do whatever you want.
01:23:25The moment she stepped into
01:23:26the guest room, the housekeeper
01:23:28locked the door.
01:23:30Madam, Mr. Harrington said
01:23:31that since you pushed Miss
01:23:32Kendington, you need to calm
01:23:34down in here tonight.
01:23:36Eleanor did not respond.
01:23:37She lay on the bed and
01:23:39listened to the rain.
01:23:40In her dream, William promised
01:23:41her love and respect.
01:23:43But in the end, there was only
01:23:45her lying alone in a hospital
01:23:46bed while, on television.
01:23:48Her husband walked toward the
01:23:49wedding hall, hand in hand with
01:23:51Lydia.
01:23:51She laughed until tears fell, then
01:23:53murmured aloud.
01:23:56If there is another life, I will
01:23:59never love you again.
01:24:03Not love me?
01:24:05Eleanor, say that again.
01:24:06Don't open your eyes.
01:24:08Eleanor forced herself not to open
01:24:10her eyes.
01:24:11He saw that her eyes were closed, so
01:24:13she had only been talking in her
01:24:14sleep.
01:24:14He let out a breath.
01:24:17William, what are you doing?
01:24:20Are you worried about Eleanor?
01:24:22This is all my fault.
01:24:26This isn't your fault.
01:24:31William, if Eleanor finds out that
01:24:34you and I registered our
01:24:35marriage, will she be angry?
01:24:37It was an emergency then.
01:24:39Your father wanted to see you
01:24:41married before he died.
01:24:42Even if Eleanor knew, she
01:24:44wouldn't blame you.
01:24:45Don't worry.
01:24:46She won't blame him.
01:24:47Not for the rest of her life.
01:24:49On Lydia's first day after
01:24:50moving in, she soaked
01:24:52William's laboratory
01:24:53manuscripts.
01:24:54They were all gene editing
01:24:55diagrams.
01:24:56William had drawn by hand,
01:24:57stroke by stroke.
01:24:59He had worked himself into a
01:25:01severe stomach ulcer over
01:25:02them.
01:25:03But when he met Lydia's
01:25:05reddened eyes, he only took
01:25:06her hand.
01:25:08Wipe your hands.
01:25:10I'll handle it.
01:25:11The next day, Lydia redecorated
01:25:13the house inside and out.
01:25:16Sweet Fofie, your plush toys
01:25:18are too old.
01:25:19Let's throw them away, okay?
01:25:21Sophie immediately threw away
01:25:23the handmade dolls.
01:25:24Eleanor had sewn stitch by
01:25:25stitch.
01:25:26Winslow silently threw away the
01:25:27wooden boat in his hands.
01:25:31What a good boy.
01:25:33Those dolls and clothes had all
01:25:34been made by Eleanor herself,
01:25:36from organic cotton and
01:25:37cashmere.
01:25:38When the children were little,
01:25:39they had allergies and could
01:25:40only touch natural fabrics.
01:25:43Now they were all thrown into
01:25:45the trash.
01:25:46At the dining table, Lydia sat
01:25:48at the head and laid out
01:25:50utensils for the two children.
01:25:52William poured sparkling water
01:25:54for her and prepared her
01:25:55napkin, his eyes carrying a
01:25:57restrained affection Eleanor had
01:25:59never received.
01:26:01At night, the four of them swung in
01:26:02the backyard and looked at the
01:26:04stars.
01:26:05When Eleanor passed by, they
01:26:07ignored her completely, as if she
01:26:10were invisible.
01:26:10What was even more absurd was that
01:26:12all three of them had always been
01:26:14demanding about quality of life.
01:26:16Now Lydia had ruined his
01:26:17manuscripts, and William only said
01:26:20it was fine.
01:26:21The children wore casually washed
01:26:23clothes and ate take-out pizza,
01:26:24Lydia, and not one of them
01:26:26complained.
01:26:27William, who was obsessed with
01:26:28cleanliness, even personally
01:26:31cooked pancakes with Lydia.
01:26:33Mr. Harrington treats Miss
01:26:35Kentington so well.
01:26:38Poor Mrs. Harrington worked herself to
01:26:40the bone for so long, and she still
01:26:41can't compare to a few days with
01:26:42Miss Kentington.
01:26:46Eleanor listened, her heart
01:26:47perfectly calm.
01:26:50That day, William pushed open the
01:26:51courtyard gate, his tone somewhat
01:26:53gentler.
01:26:55Enough.
01:26:55This has gone on long enough.
01:26:58I'm busy with work.
01:27:00From now on, you'll take care of the
01:27:01children again.
01:27:03Lydia is young and can't manage it.
01:27:05A belated birthday gift.
01:27:06Starting tomorrow, everything goes
01:27:08back to normal.
01:27:09This ends here.
01:27:10Eleanor looked at the bracelet.
01:27:12If this had been her last life, she
01:27:14would have been so happy.
01:27:15She couldn't sleep all night.
01:27:17Now it only feels ironic.
01:27:20I don't want it.
01:27:22Why?
01:27:23I'm not interested anymore.
01:27:25William frowned and forced it
01:27:28into her hand.
01:27:29Eleanor turned her head away and
01:27:31remained silent.
01:27:32William stared hard at her calm
01:27:34profile, a tight ache in his chest.
01:27:36In the end, he abruptly turned and
01:27:38left.
01:27:39She told the housekeeper to take the
01:27:41thing away and continued reading.
01:27:47Madam, hurry to the back hill.
01:27:49Winslow and Sophie fell into the river.
01:27:51You want to say that.
