A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 852

Jill Naylor raised her hand, pointing at the doll where it was mended. "I bought the same fabric and stitched it back together bit by bit."

It was unbelievable how well she sewed.

"Thank you, Dr. Naylor; you must have spent a lot of time on this, right?"

Eleanor originally planned to do the repair herself, but Aidyn said he knew a doctor who could help.

At first, she thought he was referring to a toy repair specialist, but it turned out to be a surgeon.

Jill Naylor waved off the compliment, saying, "Protecting a child's innocence is worth any amount of time."

Those words warmed Eleanor's heart, and when she looked at Jill Naylor, she seemed to glow with a sacred light. "Dr. Naylor, you're such a kind soul, Aidyn, you better treat her right."

Aidyn scratched the back of his head shyly. "Yeah, I'll treat her like Mr. Laurence treats you."

Mr. Laurence was famously generous. Hearing this eased some of Jill Naylor's fears about their whirlwind marriage. She felt assured in her decision.

Aidyn said his goodbyes to Bernard and then left with Jill Naylor.

Eleanor took the doll and went to the living room on the first floor.

Nina had thrown off her blanket and spread out on the bed, fast asleep.

Seeing her cute little butt sticking up in the air, sleeping so sweetly, Eleanor couldn't help but smile.

She walked over and put the doll on the nightstand, hoping that when Nina woke up and saw her doll all in one piece, she'd be happy.

As Liana and Hailey were about to leave, Eleanor asked, "Hailey, are you really planning to marry Yeager?"

Hailey paused and then smiled, saying, "Yes, we've agreed to meet the parents, so of course we're getting married."

Since Hailey had made up her mind, all Eleanor could do was offer her blessings: "Alright, I'll give you a wedding gift when you guys get married."

"There's no need for that; just you and Bernard being happy is the best gift for me." Hailey rose to her feet, patting Eleanor's shoulder.

Hailey always had a way of warming Eleanor's heart.

"Then I won't get you anything; you better not call me stingy later on."

But that didn't matter; as long as he kept going, he could prove that Ethan was still in his heart.

When someone passed away, if no one remembered them, they disappear forever.

As long as he remembered Ethan, Ethan would live on in Pearce's heart.

Hearing Ethan's name always saddened Eleanor. "Was this award very important to you?"

"Not particularly; I just want to keep going for the sake of a promise. And besides, you're my student; I'm happy when you win."

With that, Pearce pulled himself together and said, "I'll be at the award ceremony tomorrow too; you better thank me in your acceptance speech, or I'll be upset!"

Eleanor nodded earnestly, "Of course you're my mentor, and you've always been there for me. Not only will I thank you, I'll buy you a gift with the prize money."

"That's more like it." Pearce chuckled.

He hung up the phone and, like an unseen hero, disappeared into the night.
