A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 431

"Hospital."

"Bring her in!"

Bernard's icy tone sent a shiver down Caleb's spine. It looked like Mr. Laurence would personally handle this matter today.

Upon receiving the orders, Caleb walked into the bathroom, grabbed Teresa's broken hand, and dragged her to Bernard.

Teresa, holding her bloodied wrist, trembled with fear as she looked at Bernard, who was emanating a menacing aura.

The man on the sofa looked at Teresa, then extended his hand.

Bernard laughed coldly, "Do you know why she was so easily convinced by your words?"

Teresa looked puzzled, "I don't know…"
