Eleanor's eyes welled up.

York had been married when he was younger, but his wife left, unable to handle his devotion to his research. Now, he'd been separated from his wife and children for half his life and would be an old man living alone.

"Mr. Windsor, in my heart, you're like a godfather to me. In a few years, when you retire, I'll take care of you," Eleanor said sincerely.

York's eyes also grew warm. He patted her shoulder. "We're not there yet! You just focus on taking care of your own little family."

After York left, Eleanor threw herself back into her work. In the evening, Ryan and Callie went down to the cafeteria for dinner. Eleanor was analyzing a set of brainwave data when she suddenly noticed an anomaly when the test subject engaged in a specific thought process, the neurons in a certain area of the brain exhibited a unique synchronous firing pattern.

This discovery instantly thrilled her. She immediately pulled up all the past experimental data and, after repeated comparisons and validations, confirmed that this was not a random occurrence.

Excitedly, Eleanor sent a message to York.

Soon, York called her. "Eleanor, you've just confirmed an unprecedented brain information encoding mechanism. This discovery is not only revolutionary for brain- computer interface technology but could also open up entirely new paths for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Then, York exclaimed excitedly, "Ellie, this is a Nobel Prize-level discovery!" But he quickly calmed himself. "Of course, the value of research isn't in the awards, but in how many people it can benefit."

"Mr. Windsor, I'll immediately organize this into a paper and submit it to an international academic journal. Once I've finished my current tasks, I'll further explore the clinical applications of this mechanism."

"Good, that's fantastic," York said approvingly.

A little later, Ryan and Callie returned. Eleanor shared her discovery with them, and they were both stunned.

At that moment, York's car wasn't heading back to the lab. It was driving toward the Goodwin & Co. headquarters.

York was respectfully led by the receptionist to lan. "Mr. Goodwin, Dr. Windsor is here."

lan immediately stood to greet him, shaking his hand. "Doctor, you're here. Please, have a seat."

After York sat down, lan personally poured him some tea. "Doctor, is there something important you wanted to discuss?"

York quickly told him about Eleanor's recent discovery, his excitement palpable. "This finding is significant. It's not just a

breakthrough for brain-compul.ne

interfaces; it could lead to entirely new treatments for neurological diseases." He took a sip of tea, then paused before continuing However the subsequent research will require a great deal of funding and equipment-"

lan immediately understood the purpose of York's visit. He replied with a serious expression, "Doctor, rest assured, I will fully support Eleanor's research."

York nodded but still looked concerned.

lan quickly added, "Funding won't be an issue. I'll set up a special funds for her research. However shelf have to complete fier current project before she can begin this new one.

York nodded in relief. "With your word, I can rest easy. That girl, Ellie, she's just like

her father—born for scientific research."

"She's more brilliant than any of us could have imagined," lan said, his eyes filled with admiration. "Doctor, don't worry. I'll see to it that her research moves forward smoothly from now on."
