A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 171

Bernard had no idea of Eleanor's situation behind him and coldly asked Joelle, "Is that enough?"

The slap cleared Joelle's doubts.

He would never hit the one he loves, and instead, he would protect them with everything he had.

Now that he hit Eleanor ruthlessly, it showed that he had nothing to do with this woman.

Defending her earlier might just be to help that bitch Liana.

But in the end, he hit Liana's friend, proving that he still cared for her the most.

Originally, Joelle wanted to kill Eleanor, but she didn't want to affect Bernard's impression of her, so she stopped hesitating.

"Thank you for personally teaching that woman a lesson for me!"

Joelle took a wet wipe out of her bag and handed it to Bernard.

"Bernard, clean your hands, they're dirty."

Bernard expressionlessly took the wet wipe, lowered his head to wipe his hands, and glanced at Eleanor lying motionless on the floor.

Seeing her desperately staring at him, his heart suddenly ached, and he felt the pain throughout his body.

Feeling that he would do something irrational if he stayed for another second, Bernard snapped out of it and quickly left the bathroom.

Joelle wanted to kick Eleanor again, but Bernard coldly scolded, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Joelle had no choice but to retract her foot, and hurriedly followed Bernard with her bodyguards.

Sophie glanced at Eleanor, snorted coldly, and left with them.

The group came noisily and left noisily, and Eleanor had no time to react.

She was like an unconscious, floating object on the verge of death.

Looking at the bathroom lights flickering, she fell into eternal darkness.

She felt the scorching blood flowing from the back of her head slowly.

Her hair and clothes were soon wet, and her body gradually turned cold.

When Liana received Bernard's message and rushed over, she found the unconscious Eleanor.

Her face turned red with anxiety, but she still didn't give up, trying her best to save her.

"Boss, her vitals still haven't returned!"

Liana glanced at the pale-faced Eleanor and then at the ECG monitor.

"Increase the energy and continue to defibrillate!"

"Perform artificial respiration!"

"Okay!"

Under Liana's direction, a group of doctors engaged in intense rescue efforts once again. Liana's gaze remained fixed on Eleanor's face, sensing a dwindling will to live that complicated the resuscitation process.

Urgently, she instructed a doctor nearby, "Switch places!" The doctor who took over handling the defibrillator continued the life-saving measures, while Liana knelt before Eleanor, whispering into her ear.

"Ms. Shultz, you have a sister, don't you? You still want to leave her with some financial security, don't you?" Liana urged. "Then please, awaken swiftly! I promise to assist you in securing any amount of money you wish to leave for your sister, as long as you recover!"

"And besides, you can't simply depart without even bidding farewell to your sister, can you?!"
