A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1072

Scott told Eleanor that Bernard was dealing with some stuff and asked her to hang tight in the hospital for a bit

Eleanor found a corner to plop down in, not bothering to check her phone, just sitting quietly.

When Bernard walked out of the elevator, he saw Eleanor waiting for him from a distance and his pace gradually slowed

Eleanor sensed someone’s gaze fixed on her and instinctively raised her eyes, spotting Bernard in the distance. She swiftly stood up and made her way toward him. As she approached, she noticed something peculiar about his expression.

“Sweetheart, what’s bothering you?” she inquired, her clear eyes fixed on him. Bernard couldn’t meet her gaze and looked away momentarily Eleanors concern grew as she observed his unusual demeanor. She gently tiptoed and placed her hands on his face.

“Is someone giving you a hard time?” Ever since they got hitched, Bernard had been the sole focus of Eleanor’s affection, there was no space for anyone else in her heart.

Bernard knew that Eleanor was in love with him now, not Garett, she wouldn’t leave him for Garett anymore.

But he also knew that Eleanor still felt guilty about Garett, especially about his legs…..

If she found out that Garett was suffering from depression because he missed her, she would feel even more guilty, and torn.

Garett’s depression was severe, and only the person he cared about most could help him.

And that person had a deep friendship with him for over twenty years, even if there was no love, there was still a bond.
