A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 200
He clenched the letter in his hand, looking at the sunset outside the window with reddened eyes.
The light of life was slowly drifting away from him, and he was gradually sinking into the darkness with the sunset.
As the darkness completely enveloped the world, everything became quiet
He stood in the dark, searching for that ray of light.
Unfortunately, he had driven that light away with his own hands…
Jason was afraid that Bernard would hurt Hailey, so as soon as he broke free from Aldyn’s control he hurried back to the apartment.
Seeing Hailey sitting safely on the living room couch, wiping her tears, he felt slightly relieved. He asked, “Did he leave?”
Hailey shook her head, looking toward bedroom, “He’s in there”
Jason walked over and immediately saw the desperate Bernard sitting on the floor.
He was right-Bernard was in love with Eleanor, but he’d never expressed his feelings for her.
He couldn’t help but sn atch the letter from Bernard’s hand.

Caught off guard, his calm demeanor brake when he realized that it was Eleanor’s letter to Bernard.
Eleanor really had fallen in love with Bernard. The cold treatment she had towards. Bernard was just a way of driving him away.
Jason had noticed Bernard’s feelings for her, but he selfishly kept it a secret, causing her to die without ever knowing the truth.
Guilt and regret filed his heart, along with a crushing sense of loss.
Fleanor…she had left a note for Bernard, but none for him. It seemed that she didn’t love him anymore.
Bernard, who had Inng been in pain to the point of numbness, noticed that someone had taken away the letter left by Eleanor, Instantly, a surge of anger rose in his heart.
He stood up quickly, sna tching the letter back and held it close to his heart, treating it like a treasure
Without looking at Jason, he leaned against the wal and walked out..
The night had fallen completely, and Bernard stumbled out of the neighborhood.
Andyn, who had been waiting outside, went to assist him upon seeing his stag gering steps, Mr. Laurence, are you alright?”
Bernard pushed Alcyn away abruptly and continued to walk forward, lost in his thoughts.
Worried about his safety, Aidyn wanted to follow, but was coldly rebuked by Bernard, “Don’t follow me.”
Bernard stumbled towards the cemetery seemingly punishing himself by walking the painful path to her grave.
During the day, he didnt dare to look at her portran. Now, looking at the picture. his heart felt like it was being torn apan, aching to the point of trembling. He knelt on one knee in front of the grave, gently caressing her portrait.
In the picture, she wore an elegant smile that was simply mesmerizing.
The more he stared, the more he missed her His longing for her ran deep inside him.
But she had turned to ashes, and he could no longer touch her…
Bernard muttered, I’m sorry.”
He hurt her because he was afraid that others would discover her existence, and because he didnt want her to face the same tragedy as the other girl. But the truth is, he was too weak and ended up hurting her in the name of “protection”
