A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 647

A chopper parked in front of a swanky mansion, and Casey ordered his guys to toss Ethan into the basement.

The basement was dank and pitch-dark, and no light or signal could creep in.

Ethan, who used to seize every chance to escape, seemed to have given up all hope this time, choosing to keep silent.

George, who was roughly bound and kicked into the basement, burst into tears when he saw Ethan shrunk into a ball on the floor.

"Ethan..."

Hearing George's voice, Ethan, who had been unresponsive, slowly lifted his deep-set eyes to George's pale face.

"Why?"

Why did George deceive him with a fake appraisal report? He trusted George so much, why would he deceive him like this?

George, who already knew the appraisal results, shook his head immediately when he saw Ethan looking at him with such disappointed eyes.

"Ethan, I didn't fake it, and I didn't lie to you!"

"You personally collected the blood, you personally ran the tests, and you say you didn't lie to me?!"

Emilia had explained to him many times that Nina was his child, so he naturally went for a DNA test.

But the result was not what he expected!

He never questioned the report, because it was tested by George, the only mutual friend he and Emilia had. Who would have thought... George would deceive him on this?!

"I didn't!"

George still shook his head in denial, his wronged expression made him look particularly pitiful.

"Ethan, when I was testing, a doctor came to see me, maybe that's when someone tampered with it."

George lifted his head, looking at the man lying on the floor, looking both ragged and helpless.

"Ethan, I would never betray you, you have to believe me!"

"Do you think saying that now helps?" His Emilia couldn't come back to hear him say ‘I’m sorry’.

Ethan's eyes were filled with despair, lifeless.

Seeing Ethan lost the will to live because of guilt, George quickly shuffled over to him.

Tears welled up in Ethan's eyes.

"Nina, I...I'm sorry."

Nina tilted her head, looking at Ethan, then waved at him.

"It's okay. Dad said, as long as you admit your mistakes, you can be forgiven." Then, Nina turned her head to Casey. "Dad, even though he took me away, he didn't hurt me. He just made a small mistake, he should be able to be forgiven, so... Can you let him and George go?"

Casey lowered his head, looking at the little girl in his arms, a warm and kind smile flashed in his eyes.

"Nina, there are some private matters between him and me, it doesn't matter whether he took you away, you understand?"

Nina seemed to understand a bit, nodded, but still pleaded for Ethan.

"So, dad, can you let the doctor treat his leg wound first?"

His leg was bleeding a lot, would he die from excessive blood loss if it wasn't treated?

Thinking Ethan might die, Nina felt very sad; she didn't want him to die.
