A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1072
Scott told Eleanor that Bernard was dealing with some stuff and asked her to hang tight in the hospital for a bit
Eleanor found a corner to plop down in, not bothering to check her phone, just sitting quietly.
When Bernard walked out of the elevator, he saw Eleanor waiting for him from a distance and his pace gradually slowed
Eleanor sensed someone’s gaze fixed on her and instinctively raised her eyes, spotting Bernard in the distance. She swiftly
stood up and made her way toward him. As she approached, she noticed something peculiar about his expression.
“Sweetheart, what’s bothering you?” she inquired, her clear eyes fixed on him. Bernard couldn’t meet her gaze and looked away
momentarily Eleanors concern grew as she observed his unusual demeanor. She gently tiptoed and placed her hands on his
face.
“Is someone giving you a hard time?” Ever since they got hitched, Bernard had been the sole focus of Eleanor’s affection, there
was no space for anyone else in her heart.
Bernard knew that Eleanor was in love with him now, not Garett, she wouldn’t leave him for Garett anymore.
But he also knew that Eleanor still felt guilty about Garett, especially about his legs.....
If she found out that Garett was suffering from depression because he missed her, she would feel even more guilty, and torn.
Garett’s depression was severe, and only the person he cared about most could help him.
And that person had a deep friendship with him for over twenty years, even if there was no love, there was still a bond.
Garett had given up everything for Eleanor back in the day. If Eleanor found out, she would definitely try to help Garett.
But how could she help?
Only by staying with Garett could Eleanor help him.
Bernard knew this.
Eleanor regarded him in silence, her hands slowly dropping from his face. “Sweetheart, what’s really bothering you?” she asked
with genuine concern.

Bernard’s features appeared chiseled and stoic, resembling a sculpture, which was somewhat intimidating. After a moment, he
snapped back to reality. taking hold of her hand before he finally spoke up.
“Eleanor, what would you do if something happened to Garett?”
Her eyes filled with worry and concern, Eleanor questioned, “Did something happen to him?”
Bernard shook his head, trying to hide his hesitation as he looked down. Bringing up Garett had been sudden, and Eleanor
thought Bernard was worried. She reassured him by tightly gripping his arm, offering comfort.
“Sweetheart, Cedric decided to stay with Hailey and kicked me out. There’s no need for me here anymore. Let’s head home and
rest”
With the daylight already streaming in, Eleanor couldn’t stop herself from yawning. She looked visibly worn out from the long
night. Bernard decided to postpone the conversation about Garett for another time, understanding that she needed rest.
“Do you need me to carry you?”
They still had a bit of a walk to the parking lot, she looked so exhausted that it seemed like walking might be an issue
Eleanor didn’t really want him to carry her, but she obediently stretched out her arms.
“Sweetheart, carry me
Her voice was gentle and natural, a little bit coquettish. Bernard’s lips curled into a small smile.
He bent down, scooped up Eleanor and held her petite frame tightly. Under the curious gazes of others, he headed towards the
parking lot.
Seeing their backs, Aidyn let out a sigh of relief, then took out his phone and sent a message to Liana to keep an eye on Mr.
Laurence’s head condition.
This kind of tumor recurrence usually happens due to overusing the brain or after a certain kind of stimulation, and it would
suddenly cause headaches. That’s what just happened to Mr. Laurence.
Even though he said it was due to worrying over Eleanor, Aidyn was still concerned and decided to keep an eye on it.

When Eleanor woke up. Bernard had already gone to the company
Bryson said there was an international meeting in the morning that Bernard had to host
He had left early in the morning, seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he didn’t have the heart to wake her up.
The company was busy, this happened often, Eleanor didn’t mind and just nodded.
After breakfast with Nina and sending the kids off to school, she received a call from Cedric.
“Eleanor, could you swing by the hospital and bring Hailey some food?”
Cedric had left the room before Hailey woke up.
Since Hailey didn’t want him around, it was best if he stayed away
After understanding his thoughts, Eleanor agreed and comforted him not to worry, to take things slow.
Cedric was much more composed than before, there was no rush, he could wait patiently.
Eleanor saw the change in him, but didn’t say much. After hanging up, she had the chef prepare soup and meals.
