A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 282
Bernard’s eyes flickered, seemingly torn, but he went back to being indifferent in a few seconds.
With one hand holding his wine glass, he casually said to Liana, “Don’t go after her or bother her…”
Since he had chosen to let Eleanor be with Garett, he should let go completely and not put her in a difficult situation.
Liana was stunned, and asked incredulously, “Mr. Laurence, have you really given up?”
She had never seen a man love a woman as crazily as Bernard loved Eleanor.
He loved Eleanor so much that he was willing to give his life and sacrifice everything for her.
But it was this man who chose to let go?
Bernard didn’t respond to Liana’s words, just raising his glass and drinking the red wine.
Perhaps he drank too fast, as his face suddenly turned pale.

In response, he merely set his glass down, bent forward, and retched into the waste bin beneath him, spewing out a disconcerting gush of blood
Blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, staining the floor red….
Seeing the blood, Liana screamed, “Mr. Laurence, you’ve got internal bleeding! Hurry to the hospital!”
But Bernard didn’t seem to care. After wiping the blood from his mouth, he told the approaching servant, “Stay away
With the servant stopped, Bernard continued drinking with an icy look in his eyes.
Liana’s face turned livid, she pulled out her phone and called Aidyn, asking him to come and drag Mr. Laurence to the hospital.
Aidyn arrived quickly since he lived nearby. Seeing the empty wine bottles and the blood on the floor, his face changed.
He walked over, helped Bernard up, and tried to persuade him, “Mr. Laurence, don’t drink anymore. Let’s go to the hospital and get your stomach treated…
But Bernard pushed him away, clutching his aching stomach, refusing to cooperate, as if he wanted to drink until he died.
Seeing that her cousin couldn’t handle Bernard either, Liana gave up persuading him and left the mansion.
She took a sedative from a first aid kit in the car and injected it into Bernard’s arm when he wasn’t looking.
Bernard finally closed his eyes, his burly body collapsing to the floor.
Aidyn quickly caught him and, together with Liana, rushed him to the hospital..
By midnight, Bernard had improved. But when he woke up, he searched everywhere for a cigarette.
Liana and Aidyn desperately tried to stop him, but he stared at them with red eyes and said, “What am I supposed to do, I miss her so much…
Every time he opened his eyes, he could see Eleanor, and couldn’t shake her off.
