A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 194

Hearing Bernard's words, Hailey burst out laughing, pissed off by him, "You really think she's faking it to trick you? You out of your mind, bro? Have you forgotten how you guys messed her up? The girl already had heart failure, and then you all went and nailed her in the back of her head. How could she live long like that?"

Hailey nearly shouted all of that, and at the end, suddenly broke down into tears. Just thinking about how Eleanor suffered before her death was too much for her, "Bernard, how could you be so heartless? Eleanor wrote you a letter before she died..."

Angry and resentful cries from the other side of the phone weighed heavily on Bernard's heart.

He tried to control his emotions but found it wasn't as easy as it normally was.

Instead, the more he tried to control his emotions, the more chaotic his own heart became.

Clutching his phone, he coldly asked, "What's going on? Nailed in the back of the head?"

Hailey thought he didn't dare to admit it and gritted her teeth in anger, "When Eleanor was taken to the hospital, she had been nailed in the back of the head. If she hadn't been paralyzed by it, she wouldn't have bled too much and suffered from heart failure. This is all you and your Laurence family's doing! You still dare to play dumb here, I feel so sorry for Eleanor!"

After saying all this, Hailey hung up the phone and added Bernard to her blacklist.

Dumbfounded, Bernard stared at the phone screen for a few minutes...

The tall figure that had been standing by the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly started to wobble, swaying as if unable to support itself.

With one hand pressed against the glass, he managed to steady his body. But all he could see was Eleanor lying on the ground, unmoving.

It turned out that her inability to move wasn't due to disappointment in him but because his slap had driven her onto a nail, paralyzing her.

The thought of this scene hurt Bernard so much it was unbearable...

It couldn't be, he had seen her medical report. Other than heart disease, her health was good. How could she suddenly have a heart failure?

Maybe it was because he had hit her and disappointed her, so she deliberately teamed up with these people to deceive him.

It must be like that. She had deceived him several times already, this time must have been the same!

He kept telling himself this, but the unease in his heart grew more and more, making him increasingly scared.

Forcing back his pain, he put down his phone. Bernard walked to the door, and opened it.

A deep sense of powerlessness overcame him, making his cold voice carry a touch of despair, "Liana, it's one thing for others not to know, but don't you know?"

Could he show that he cared? Could he tell everyone what he cared about?

He couldn't.

Once, he only looked after a childhood companion, and they tortured her to death. Not to mention the woman he desired...

Unfortunately, he hid his feelings too well, so that even those closest to him couldn't figure out his thoughts. Could he blame them?

No, he could only blame himself...

He hung up Liana's call with a trembling hand and looked at Aidyn with bloodshot eyes, "Prepare a helicopter."

He had to go back immediately and see her for himself. Otherwise, he would never believe that she was gone.
