A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 150

Liana didn't know how to respond, she just smiled faintly at Hailey, making her uneasy.

After inviting them to sit on the couch, she turned and knocked on the door to the small bedroom.

"Eleanor, someone's here for you."

Eleanor was already awake in the room, hearing their conversation outside, but she didn't have the strength to get up.

As she tried to sit up, Hailey barged in.

Seeing Eleanor struggling to get up, Hailey rushed over.

"Eleanor, what's wrong?"

Jason and Liana followed.

Jason tried to get closer, but Liana got there first, "I'm the doctor here, give me some space."

Jason stepped aside, and Liana went up to Eleanor, placing her hand on her forehead and then taking out a thermometer to check her temperature.

"Were you caught in the rain earlier?"

Although her temperature wasn't high, it was still quite dangerous for Eleanor.

She had been drenched at the entrance of the Laurence family's villa. Jason had tried to shield her from the rain with his coat, but she still got wet.

Looking guilty, he wanted to hold Eleanor's hand, but she avoided him.

Fearing that her illness would be exposed in front of Liana, Eleanor only avoided Jason's touch without driving him away.

Her rejection was like a thorn in his heart.

He knew that his Eleanor would never be the same as before...

They had agreed that whenever she said harsh words when angry, he shouldn't take it seriously.

After she had cooled down, he would come back to appease her, and she would forgive him.

Liana had many doubts but didn't ask directly, she just nodded, picked up the coat and the medical kit, and left.

Hailey breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Eleanor had only a mild fever.

She sat by the bedside helping Eleanor sit up, handing her the fever reducer and a cup of water.

After taking the medicine, Eleanor looked up at Jason, who stood by the bed like a statue, and said, "You can go now."

Jason felt a sharp pang in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. Previously, Eleanor hadn't pushed him away because of Liana's presence, fearing that Liana would relay the situation to Bernard. Eleanor cared about Bernard's feelings, but not his.

In her heart, it seemed that Bernard held a somewhat higher priority than him. The woman who had once prioritized him now seemed to have cast him aside, focusing her attention on another man. Both Jason and the past version of himself struggled to accept this harsh reality.

With bloodshot eyes, he locked his gaze onto Eleanor's pale face and pleaded, "Eleanor, please give me another chance..."

Eleanor responded expressionlessly, "I've already made myself clear. Don't push me to turn against you."

Hearing this, Hailey finally understood that Eleanor wouldn't forgive Jason. She rose from her seat and advised him, "You should leave for now."
