A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1074
Garett suffered from severe depression, a fact well–known to Hailey and Bernard.
Eleanor’s distressing condition became evident when she lost color in her face, and her pale hand weakly leaned against the
wall.
Yeager, observing the situation, expressed concern about Garett’s well–being to Ms. Shultz, acknowledging the potential danger
of severe depression.
Eleanor seemed shocked and surprised by the question.
Yeager felt fortunate that Hailey had introduced him to Garett, as it gave him the opportunity to confront Bernard and protect his
friend.
Yeager didn’t want to say these things, but Bernard kept coming at him. Why should he let Bernard have it easy?
He wanted to drive a wedge between Eleanor and Bernard, make Eleanor choose to leave Bernard, make Bernard suffer from
depression like Garett, and
then take his own life!
Thinking about this, Yeager smirked and walked towards Eleanor.
“Ms. Shultz, Garett’s depression is because he misses you. You chose to leave him for Bernard. Have you ever thought about
how much it hurts him?”
Yeager’s words hit Eleanor like a sledgehammer.
She remembered how Garett had worked on the construction site to help her raise money for medical expenses...
He was only sixteen then.
He worked tirelessly, bent over, ignoring the sweltering heat, his sweat pouring down, head down, doing all the heavy labor.
When she found out, Garett just laughed and said, “Eleanor, I’m doing this to get fit, not for the money”
But the callouses and scars on his hands were all for her....

Garett’s whole life was for her...
Eleanor’s hand slid down the wall...
Seeing her like this, Yeager was pretty sure he was right..
“Ms. Shultz, Garett lost his legs, he can’t stand up anymore, and he’s got severe depression. He might die...”
He might die....
Eleanor gazed at Yeager, her face pale and filled with concern. “Is what you said true?” she asked.
“Whether it’s true or not, you should ask Bernard. He knows everything.” Yeager replied, laughing half–heartedly, his expression
dark.
“But he’s scared of losing you, so he didn’t tell you. He’s actually waiting for Garett to take his own life, he...” Yeager’s words
were cut short by a sudden slap across his face.
Hailey, the one who slapped him, stood there, her eyes red and swollen from fatigue. She showed no pity or hesitation, only pure
hatred for Yeager.
“Yeager,” she said, her voice strained. Hailey stood protectively in front of Eleanor, her emotions simmering with anger.
“I regret ever introducing you to Garett, Hailey continued, her anger directed at Yeager. When she introduced Yeager to Garett,
she hoped he would bring some happiness into his life. But instead, when Yeager learned about Garett’s depression, he chose to
hide it from everyone, including Eleanor.
Bernard’s actions were also a source of frustration for Hailey. He promised to help Garett return to his country, only to now make
him lose face in front
of others.
He couldn’t accept this outcome, couldn’t accept defeat! It was just a counterattack, he did nothing wrong, absolutely nothing!
Yeager clenched his fists, looking at the extremely disappointed Hailey and Eleanor, who was still in shock, and slowly smirked...
“Ms. Shultz, did you hear that? Hailey regrets introducing me to Garett. That’s proof that what I said is true!”

“You dare to say that!”
Hailey was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Yeager, but he caught her wrist.
“You dare to say you didn’t hide anything from Ms. Shultz?”
Eleanor snapped back to reality, seeing Yeager gripping Hailey’s wrist, and pushed Yeager away.
“Whether they hid anything from me or not, it’s none of your business!”
Eleanor clenched her fists and approached Yeager.
“Don’t think you can use Garett to get at us!”
Her pale face had regained some color, as if she had accepted the truth and was ready to face it head–on.
“Yeager, you’ve murdered, framed people, deceived Hailey, hidden the past, drugged her, you’re not innocent. What right do you
have to drive a wedge between us?!”
Eleanor’s accusation made Yeager clench his fists tighter.
“No matter what you say, Bernard deliberately hid the truth from you. He’s waiting for Garett to die!”
