A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 27

In the deep slumber, the cellphone suddenly kept buzzing non–stop.

Text messages and phone calls – could it be that he knew she was near death and wanted to let her off the hook?

Eleanor’s mind raced, but she acted nonchalant and replied, “I’m better now.”

“Good to know.”
