A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 531

"You probably don't know yet, Bernard had a brain disease, a tumor—"

A droplet of blood from Ethan's forehead fell on Eleanor's pale forehead, soaking in slowly like a blooming flower.

Her eyes looked lifeless as she stared at Ethan. She looked like a puppet, frozen.

"Do you think, with his condition, he could survive multiple physical traumas?"

Ethan's cold voice echoed like a death knell, utterly ruthless.

Eleanor gripped the bedsheet tightly. A chill coursed through her body from head to toe, causing her to shudder.

"I won't believe a word you say...."

He once said it was just a migraine, how could it be a tumor? Ethan could be lying to her.

"Don't believe me?"

Ethan raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

"Why don't you look into where all the assets under your name came from?"

Eleanor stared blankly at Ethan, seemingly not understanding what he was saying.

Ethan retracted his smile, staring at her blankly.

"Bernard restored your identity, just to transfer the assets to your name. He had already made a will for you, paving the way for your future, and you still don't believe it?"

Ethan's voice was low, but his words were chillingly cold.

Eleanor gripped the bedsheet tightly; her trembling body felt like it was in an ice cave.

"No way! He helped me restore my identity so that I could design the Jared Group Headquarters in my own name!"

"He transferred the assets to me because he was afraid that I would feel unworthy of him, that's why he gave me everything he had!

"He can't possibly be dead!

"Bernard can't possibly be dead!”

Eleanor yelled, seemingly on the brink of collapse. She struggled desperately.

Ethan didn't respond. He watched her coldly as she sank into anger. His cold gaze made her feel increasingly desperate.

No matter the situation, life or death, she wanted to be with Bernard.

She thought she didn't love Bernard that much, but now she knew that she couldn't live without him, nor could she lose him. If her remaining life was without Bernard, then her life would lose its purpose and beauty. She was willing to die with him, but before that, she wanted to go back and see him one last time, even if it was just his body.

There were too many regrets between them...

When she loved him, she thought he didn't love her, so she wasted an opportunity.

When she didn't want to love him, she thought they were not right for each other, so they broke up.

After eight years of twists and turns, she finally waited for his proposal, only for him to risk his life to save hers...

Eleanor remembered how he shielded her with his broad back, protecting her from harm. Her trembling fingers clutched her chest, as she pleaded with Ethan through her tears.

"Ethan, for the sake of my sister, please let me go back to him...."

He had to let her go to him, she missed him terribly. An unprecedented longing that made her wish she were dead.

She thought, if they couldn’t be together in life, they would be together in death. At least she could be with him...
