A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 299

The moment he saw that huddled figure, his heart skipped a beat, "Stop the car—"

Caleb immediately slowed down and pulled over. "Sir, what's wrong?"

Bernard pushed open the door, got out of the car quickly, and strode towards Eleanor.

Unable to see clearly, Eleanor felt someone approaching and immediately stood up and backed away, "Don't come near me!"

Seeing her so alert, Bernard thought she didn't want him close and stopped in his tracks.

The tall figure stood still, silently watching her without speaking. His cold eyes were tinged with a touch of red, even the corners of his eyes were reddened.

It was only at this moment that he realized the end of relationship meant not even being able to take a step closer to her.

Eleanor didn't know who the person in front of her was, only that he stopped when she yelled. But she couldn't see now, and if he noticed that, he might come closer again.

Her anger was gradually replaced by fear. She quickly turned around and, regardless of whether she could see or not, ran forward with her head down.

Her resistance, alertness, and disregard made Bernard's heart ache unbearably.

He was wrong. He said he wouldn't bother her anymore, but he still couldn't help but want to get closer. His eyes reddened as he watched her figure get farther and farther away, and he said to Caleb, "Follow her, but don't let her notice."

Caleb nodded immediately and quickly followed.

Bernard suppressed his inner pain, turned around, and returned to the car.

As soon as he got in, he saw Ethan's car driving by. He knew that their quarrel had caused Eleanor to run away from home.

At the sound of that deep voice, Eleanor's heart tightened, and the suffocating feeling of being trapped in the car earlier came back.

She pushed Ethan's hand away, turned around to run. but due to not seeing the direction clearly, accidentally stepped into the bushes by the roadside.

Seeing her fall, Ethan's expression stiffened a bit. He walked over without speaking, stood above her, and looked down.

"Did you lose your eyesight again?" Ethan asked.

Eleanor sat on the ground, silent. Her face looked pale, full of fear and wariness.

Ethan squatted down, turned on his phone's flashlight. He shone it into her eyes, and seeing no reaction, he understood.

"George said you still have some after-effects in your eyes and need to take care of them. You can't cry or overwork yourself, but you don't listen." After saying that, he reached out his long hand towards Eleanor and calmly said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."
