A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 180

Hailey cried for a solid two hours, exhausting all her tears, before finally stopping. Eleanor smirked at her and said, “I always thought of Hailey as tough and resilient. I never knew you had a vulnerable side.”

Hailey wasn’t in the mood for jokes and asked bitterly, “Does Dr. Terrill know you can’t see?”

Eleanor casually shook her head, “No. I don’t want to bother her.”

Hearing this broke Hailey’s heart. She worried that Eleanor might believe she didn’t have much time left and therefore didn’t care about her loss of vision. Hailey looked into Eleanor’s lifeless eyes, suppressing her overwhelming emotions, and asked hoarsely, “Eleanor, when did you start getting sick?”

Hailey had researched and knew that heart failure took a long time to progress to the end stage; it couldn’t have happened suddenly. Eleanor’s heart failure must have started before the Laurence family hurt her. Something must have occurred to cause such severe

consequences.

Eleanor believed it was time to share some information with Hailey, so she wouldn’t be completely clueless about how she would die.

So she held back her discomfort and gently told Hailey, “Do you remember when Jason kicked me twice five years ago?”
