A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 795

After Garett had dinner with the two, Yilia passed him his medication and some water.

Upon seeing the bottle of pills, Yeager understood why Garett always seemed to be living on the edge of death yet couldn't die.

Turns out, the guy was suffering from depression...

From the look of him, it seemed like he was in the severe stage, just keeping it under wraps the whole time.

Garett didn't worry about Yeager finding out. He calmly took the medicine and water and took them on schedule.

Hailey had told him that as long as he took his meds on time, he would gradually get better.

He was waiting for the day he'd bounce back to health...

"Garett, after you've taken your meds, let's take a walk outside the villa..."

During this time, her company had improved Garett's mood.

Even though it was only a fleeting weekend, it filled some of the void.

"Dr. Yeager, come with us."

Yeager nodded in understanding, refraining from asking any further questions or displaying any judgment. He simply followed Hailey's lead.

Hailey had previously shared with him that she and Garett had grown up together in an orphanage. Despite Garett being adopted into the prestigious Clowers family and assuming the role of president of the Clowers Group, their bond remained strong.

Hailey viewed Garett as a younger brother, and their closeness endured throughout the years. The depth of their friendship, spanning two or even three decades, was not easily relinquished. Yeager Alis comprehended the significance of their enduring relationship and respected their deep connection.

And since Hailey was willing to introduce him to her brother, it meant she wanted her family to accept him. Of course, he was thrilled and had no objections.

He looked at the night in B City, found it a bit hot, so he bought a few bottles of cold water from a vending machine by the road and handed them to Garett and Colter.

He warmed Hailey's bottle in his hand before opening the cap and handing it to her.

"Take a sip first, see if it's cold?"

"I want it cold..."

"You're weak, better to drink less cold stuff."

Yeager's concern had Garett giving him a few extra glances.

A smile appeared in his eyes, seeming to accept him.

Garett's hand rested on his wheelchair, watching Hailey who was refusing to drink the warm water.

"Hailey, Dr. Yeager is just looking out for your health. Stop being a baby."

"How is she... doing now?"

Hailey and Yeager were chatting happily when they suddenly heard Garett, sitting in his wheelchair, asking this question.

Hailey's steps halted, her expression turned complex as she looked at Garett.

She had thought he would let it go, but he never did.

Hailey stared at him, silent for a while before finally saying:

"She and Bernard are on their honeymoon."

"Oh..."

Garett nodded, seemed to think of something, then looked at Hailey with a small smile.

"She's married, of course she has to go on a honeymoon. Look at my memory, I can't remember a thing," he muttered, masking his true feelings behind feigned forgetfulness.

It wasn't a matter of him forgetting; it was his fear of facing the reality. The person he had once envisioned marrying and embarking on a honeymoon with was now someone else's wife.

Hailey was well aware that Eleanor had never placed excessive demands on Garett. In order to avoid burdening him, she even saved money for their wedding herself.

But Garett, driven by his desire to provide more for Eleanor, was unable to fulfill everything immediately. Instead, he resorted to using time as a means of delaying, leaving Eleanor waiting for the life they had envisioned together.
