A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 591

The passenger seat of that car, half covered by the window, revealed a handsome face. Even in the dim street lights, Hailey recognized who he was.

She froze for a few seconds, then hurriedly trotted towards the car in her high heels.

"Garrett."

Her voice trembled as she called his name.

The man in the car smirked, "Hailey."

His voice made Hailey's eyes glisten with tears: "What are you doing here?"

These past few days, whenever she called Garrett, either his phone was off or he didn't answer. She even went to B City to look for him, but he refused to meet her.

His coldness made it seem like he wanted to cut ties with her completely.

She thought she would lose him forever, but surprisingly, he showed up on the day Bernard proposed to Eleanor.

Did this mean Garrett was keeping tabs on them all along and just never bothered them?

Garrett reached out to catch a snowflake outside the window, his eyes were filled with unvanishing sorrow.

He stared at the snowflake melting in his hand, and after a moment, he finally responded to Hailey, "I was just passing by, saw the beautiful scene here, and decided to take a look."

Passing by?

Who the hell would go out of their way to pass by a place so far from the city center?

Hailey naturally didn't believe him, but she didn't call him out on it; she only asked with teary eyes, "I heard you're getting engaged?"

Garrett gave a bitter smile and said, "Yeah, getting engaged."

There was no hint of joy in his smile.

Hailey felt terrible. "You're not getting engaged just to let Eleanor and Bernard be together, are you?"

"Thank you."

Hailey turned her back, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She didn't understand why the three of them, who had grown up together, now felt so distant, as if there would be no intersection in their future lives.

In the back seat, Colter Clowers took out a wheelchair from the trunk and put it on the ground. He opened the car door, carried Garrett out of the car, and put him in a wheelchair.

"Garrett, can your legs be cured?"

Hailey looked at Garrett, who couldn't take care of himself, and her tears kept falling. He used to be the favorite of heaven; was he going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?

Garrett casually touched his numb legs and said, "They can't be cured, but it's fine; I'm used to it."

Hailey wanted to say something, but Garrett took the umbrella from Colter and handed it to Hailey, saying, "Hailey, life is unpredictable. I've gained a lot; losing two legs isn't a big deal. Please don't be sad for me."

His calmness made Hailey feel even worse, but she still held back her sadness and took the umbrella he handed her.

Because the snow made it hard to push the wheelchair, Hailey couldn't do it herself. In the end, it was Colter who pushed it while she held the umbrella to shield him from the snow.
