A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 739

Eleanor couldn't stand him saying "I'm not here" anymore. She wrestled free from his grip, frowning.

"Say that again, I dare you."

"I said..."

Bernard wanted to repeat it, but seeing her tearful eyes, he stopped instantly.

He looked a bit flustered, reaching out to hold her.

"I won't say it again, don't be mad, okay?"

"No!"

Eleanor pushed him away. She looked tense, her eyes full of worry.

"You had a brain tumor before, and I've looked it up, there's a chance it could come back. Why would you say such a thing? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Bernard stiffened. He thought he could hide it from her, but it turned out he couldn't hide anything.

He reached out, touching her pale face.

"I'm sorry, I won't say such things again. Don't worry, okay?"

Eleanor's eyes were red. After staring at him for a few seconds, she lunged into his arms.

"You said you'd be my husband forever. You have to take care of yourself, you can't let anything happen."

Bernard held her close, his chin resting on her shoulder.

"Okay, I promise, I'll take care of myself."

Just like their wedding vows, they would stay together till they were old, sharing life and death.

Hearing his promise, Eleanor relaxed a bit.

She pushed Bernard away and glanced at the bank card in her hand.

Seeing this, Bernard frowned slightly, hesitating for a long time.

In the end, he decided to tell her the truth.

"Eleanor, Caleb just found out about your background. Do you want to see it?"

Eleanor paused, then looked up at him, "I don't want to."

Bernard was a bit surprised, "Don't you care?"

Eleanor shook her head decisively.

"It's not that I don't care, I just think, I've always been an orphan, without deep family ties. And before Emilia helped me escape, my mother had already passed away, my father never seemed to care about us. Plus, Evelyn knew my mother, which means my mother probably came from a powerful family. But such a family didn't care about my mother's life or death, Emilia and I had to run away. So, even if I knew my background, what's the point?"

Evelyn once said, if she knew who her mother was, she wouldn't choose to marry Bernard. So why should she chase after this information?

In her future life, there's only Bernard, and if she's lucky, maybe they will have children. That's her real family, where she'll live for the rest of her life.
