After the door closed, once again, she was all alone in the house.
Everyone said she was blessed to have married such a wonderful husband. Danny was a renowned expert in botany and held immense prestige in academic circles. Over the years, many of his research projects earned him patents.
Everyone envied her. They all said that all she needed to do was stay home and do household chores. She did not have to worry about money.
But what no one knew was that years ago, only one direct doctoral admission spot available and a top-tier university had specifically named her as its candidate.
However, when she saw the disappointment on Danny’s face, she gave it up willingly and let him have it instead.
For twenty years, she had been supporting him silently, so he did not have to worry about anything outside of his academic pursuits.
Over the years, Ella had rarely felt any regret. She was sure that Danny always appreciated all the sacrifices she had made.
But just now, after she heard what he had said, she experienced the kind of regret she had never felt before.
A sudden knock broke her thoughts. Thinking that it was Danny, she hurried over to open the door.
