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

00:18:02Lydia, are you all right?
00:18:04I'm fine.
00:18:08William, maybe I should just leave.
00:18:10Eleanor doesn't seem to welcome me.
00:18:13William looked at Eleanor in silence.
00:18:15Eleanor withdrew her gaze from her son and daughter,

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