A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 683

"How's Mr. Laurence doing?"

Liana wanted to check on his injuries, but Mr. Laurence has a thing about not letting female doctors examine him whenever he's injured. He'd only allow the guys to do it.

He usually paid attention to his personal cleanliness, not letting anyone touch him except for Eleanor.

"He took a pretty harsh beating, but the silver lining is that his vital organs are intact. Doctors said he can only recover gradually through medication and rest."

"Then what about your wedding?"

Hailey frowned. Valentine's Day was next Monday, and Bernard getting injured at this time seemed like a real wedding crasher.

"He can only rest in bed now, so the wedding probably can't go as planned. I'll discuss a new date with him later."

Eleanor was keen on having the wedding as planned, but under the circumstances, she had to consider Bernard's health.

"It seems that we can only reschedule..." Hailey sighed.

Liana, however, was noncommittal. "Mr. Laurence will definitely not agree to reschedule."

Mr. Laurence has wanted to marry Eleanor for years now. How could he postpone the long-awaited wedding just because of injury?

He's a man of his word. Even if he was injured to the point of immobility, he would still marry Eleanor, let alone just a back injury.

Liana was full of confidence, but Hailey was skeptical.

"He can't even move right now. If we don't reschedule, are we supposed to carry him to his own wedding?"

"If you don't believe it, let's make a bet, shall we?" Liana crossed her arms and declared.

Upon hearing about the bet, Hailey immediately got excited. "Alright, let's bet a hundred grand, loser pays!"

Then she turned to Eleanor. "Are you in?"

The bride herself was suddenly dragged into a wedding bet, wagering on whether the groom would be able to make it to the wedding?

Eleanor shook her head helplessly. "You guys go ahead and bet. I'm going to take Nina home."

At that moment, Aidyn came over, holding Nina. "What's with this kid today? She doesn't want to play with me."

Aidyn's complaint was met with a cold stare from Nina: This guy is not handsome enough, and he's as dull as a log. She's not interested in playing with him.

Liana seemed to see through Nina's thoughts and teased, "Maybe you're just too boring, and it's normal for Nina not to want to play with you."

"Let me take him with me."

Before Hailey and Liana could speak, Nina hugged Hailey tightly and refused to let go no matter how they coaxed her.

Seeing this, Hailey picked up Nina and looked at Eleanor.

"Bernard is so injured, you go take care of him first, I'll take care of the kid."

"I'm afraid..."

She was about to speak when Hailey interrupted, "There are plenty of bodyguards here, there won't be any problems, don't worry."

Although Liana didn't get the kid, she also nodded in agreement, "With Hailey, I can come by to see her every day. If she went to Mr. Laurence's place, I don't think I could even speak, let alone play with the kid..."

"Why don't you stay here for a while, and we'll take care of the kid together?" Hailey suggested.

Liana immediately agreed, "Great idea, it's settled then, I'll move in tomorrow..."

Eleanor was speechless.

They didn't give her a chance to speak during their discussion, made the decision directly, and even arranged for the psychologist.
