A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 551

After giving orders to his assistant, Ethan switched locations, bringing them all to Azure Island.

In the days that followed, Ethan cuffed Eleanor to the bedpost to prevent her from committing suicide, restricting her movements.

He even had servants watching her around the clock to stop her from biting her own tongue.

Once he had made sure Eleanor couldn't take her own life, he had George treat her.

This time, he went all out to bring in the best medical equipment and wouldn't stop until her eyes were healed.

Eleanor just let Ethan do as he pleased. Her desire to die never wavered. Not until three months later when George brought in a tablet.

He opened up the news and handed it to Eleanor, "Look. He attended the press conference for the reconstruction of Jared Group Headquarters. He's not dead."

The man in the video, dressed in an expensive suit, exuded an aristocratic air.

Countless flashes were aimed at his incredibly handsome face, capturing every detail.

The man never blinked, his gaze indifferent as he stared into the camera.

He answered each question from the reporters with a cold, emotionless voice. Just like Bernard when they first met eight years ago.

He seemed to have returned to his past self, no, even colder than before. He looked as if he was fed up with the world.

Seeing the man in the video, hearing his voice, Eleanor's eyes widened in disbelief.

Was he... really not dead?

Ethan didn't lie to her this time!

But she hadn't believed Ethan and had waited for three months!

During those three months, she had tried every possible way to kill herself. If it hadn't been for George saving her, for Nina warming her, she would have...

Tears rolled down Eleanor's face. Her hands trembling as she reached out to touch the face on the screen.

She had hope to live again.

It was wonderful. Her "I love you" wouldn't have to wait for the next life. She could tell him in this life.

Tears streamed down Eleanor's face as she laughed at the figure in the video.

Seeing her smile, George sighed in relief.

After his lie, no matter what he said, Eleanor wouldn't believe him.

She wanted to call Bernard and tell him she'd be coming back to him soon.

George hesitated a bit. Ethan planned to let Eleanor go, but he didn't plan on letting Bernard pick her up.

Plus, if Bernard knew how Ethan treated Eleanor, he would probably seek revenge.

George was worried about Ethan, so he never told Bernard. Although it was selfish, he had no other choice.

Eleanor saw George's hesitation and withdrew her hand, "It's okay, I'll go back to him myself."

After apologizing, George took out the key to the handcuffs Ethan had given him and unlocked the cuff attached to the bedpost.

The sound of the lock opening made Eleanor smile again, and George couldn't help but smile too.

"Ms. Shultz, you're free."

He had said that only when Ethan truly let go would these innocent people be spared. Although it was late, it finally happened.

What Ethan let go of might not be Emilia, but some indescribable emotional change. This change scared him enough to let go.

Unable to figure out what Ethan was thinking, George exchanged a smile with Eleanor. He picked up his medical kit and left the room.
