A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 539
Eleanor kept her silence, and George didnt pressure her to speak instead, he often came to visit her with Nina in his arms in the days that followed
During the day. Nina would sprawl in front of Eleanor’s bed and play with her face using her adorable little fingers.
“Auntie, you look just like the doll my daddy bought for me. She’s pretty too, but she doesnt talk
George must have influenced Nina somehow, because she initially called Eleanor “Mommy” now she started calling her “Auntie.”
Every time Nina called her Auntie, it warmed Eleanor’s heart. At night, she couldn’t resist holding Nina’s tiny body tightly in her arms.
It was like finding a solitary beat in this flashy world, carrying her around and showing her a beautiful scenery.
Eleanor bent her head to look at the child in her arms, wanting to see her face. Only then did she realize that she was blind, and a wave of regret washed over her.
Would she see the light again after she died? If not, she wouldn’t even be able to see Bernard’s face after death…
Eleanor held Nina and her hollow eyes stared into the distance.

Bernard, did you know? I got pregnant with your child. If you were still here and heard this news, you’d be happy, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately, you’re gone. You took away my hope for life, yet gave me a reason not to come and find you…
What should I do?
If I were to keep the baby, I’m afraid he or she will end up like Nina, without parents. If I were to abort the baby, it’s your only bloodline, and I can’t bear to do it.
What should I do to keep the baby and still find you?
She prayed painfully for a whole night, but Bernard didn’t appear in her dreams. She sat on the edge of the bed, contemplating for a while, and then gave herself an answer.
She would give birth to their child, send the child to the Laurence family, and then go to be with Bernard. She didn’t feel anything for the baby in her belly yet. That could change in the future, but for now, she just wanted to see Bernard.
When Ethan walked into the room with a bowl of oatmeal, he expected Eleanor to be lying in bed as usual.
However, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently patting Nina’s back. The sunlight from outside the window shone on her through the glass, making her glow. She radiated a motherly aura.
Ethan stood at the door, watching for a few seconds, then walked up to Eleanor and asked, “Have you made up your mind?”
Eleanor nodded without emotion, “How long?”
Her voice was cold, but Ethan didn’t mind, “Depends on my mood….”
Eleanor’s hand, which was stroking Nina’s back, suddenly stopped, her expression cooling, “What are you trying to do?”
Ethan put down the bowl of oatmeal, bent over to look at the now-blind Eleanor, and said affectionately, “I want to see Emilia again.”
Eleanor blinked slowly, speaking in a low voice, “Even if I pretend to be her, I’m not her. You need to understand she’s dead.”
Ethan didn’t respond to her words, but asked, “If there was someone who looked like Bernard and had his heart, would you want him to pretend to be Bernard, or even become Bernard?” Eleanor scoffed, “There’s only one him in this world. No matter how similar anyone else is, it has nothing to do with me.”
Ethan raised an eyebrow, “That’s just because you’ve recently lost him.”
Eleanor didn’t want to argue with this l***c, and coldly stated her terms, “One month. I’ll play along with your madness. After that, let me go back to my country.”
