A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 550

Nina woke up in a daze, half-asleep.

The room was pitch black, she couldn't find her aunt, which scared the daylights out of her, and she started wailing.

Her tantrum quickly attracted George and Ethan.

George barged into the room, turned on the light, picked up Nina, and tried to soothe her.

As soon as Ethan saw there was no sign of Eleanor in the room, he beelined for the bathroom.

When he pushed open the bathroom door and saw the blood all over the floor and the pale woman in the bathtub, he was gobsmacked.

“George, we've got a situation!”

He rushed forward, picked up Eleanor, and as soon as he got her on the floor, he pressed down on her bleeding wrists.

George dashed into the bathroom, saw Eleanor's suicide attempt, was taken aback for a second, then got his act together.

He called for the servants to fetch the first aid kit, stopped the bleeding in a fluster, and started emergency treatment on Eleanor.

Just as the woman on the floor was about to lose her last breath, George managed to save her.

“Get her back to bed!”

Seeing George finally breathe a sigh of relief, Ethan then lifted Eleanor and placed her on the bed.

After George put an oxygen mask on her, he turned towards Ethan, “Happy now?”

Ethan didn't respond, his eyes fixated on Eleanor's pale face.

He stood still like a statue for a couple of minutes before he reached out and touched Eleanor's hair.

Seeing this, George had a weird feeling surging inside him.

He glanced at Ethan who was now caressing Eleanor's hair and couldn't help but ask, “Ethan, are you after Emilia's heart, or Ms. Shultz?”

Ethan was baffled by the question, “What do you mean?”

George walked up to him, “If all you want is Emilia's heart, then take it out, I'll put it in another body, and leave Ms. Shultz alone. If it's Ms. Shultz you want, then treat her right.”

Upon hearing George's words, Ethan's gaze fell on the frail figure lying on the floor.

After staring for a while, he coldly said, “Emilia's last wish was to keep her heart within her, not to give it to someone else!”

George looked at him with uncertainty, “Is it really Emilia's last wish you care for, or you just can't bear to see Ms. Shultz die?”

Her heart was a gift from her sister, had nothing to do with Ethan, but since he wanted it so badly, she would give it to him!

Ethan looked at the woman determined to die, hesitated a few seconds, and then said, “Bernard is alive, I lied to you, he's been searching for you...”

Eleanor, already hopeless, sneered, “To keep me alive, you'd stop at nothing!”

He had never told her the truth, he had been deceiving her all along, he had said Bernard was dead, and even lied about her being pregnant, now he was saying that Bernard was alive, what a joke!

Ethan didn't bother to explain, just coldly said, “Believe it or not, right now, all I want is for you to get better and stay away from me!”

Stay away from him, so he wouldn't have to struggle figuring out whether she was Emilia or Eleanor!

Ethan stood up and quickly left Eleanor's room...

Outside the door, his assistant waited and quietly asked Ethan, “Bernard's people have brought him to our helicopter landing site.”

Ethan sneered, clearly didn't give a damn, “Have Cecilia, who's good at mimicking Eleanor's voice, figure out a way to turn Bernard down!”

Just because he's letting Eleanor go, didn't mean he's handing her over to Bernard.

The Laurence family had already taken a lot from the Ziegler family, Bernard could dream on about getting what he wanted from him!
