A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1321

Bernard jolted awake, his heart pounding painfully in his chest. Instinctively, he thought of Eleanor and the pain intensified. He had sent her away without explanation, and he didn’t know whether it was right or wrong. But he felt an unsettling sense of loss, as if something precious was slipping away from him.

The excruciating pain turned his face pale, his fingers gently tracing the bite mark on his collarbone. The pain eased a little at the touch. Eleanor had left a mark on him, a beacon in his loneliness, a temporary respite from his gloom.

Wrapped in darkness, he could hardly see anything. The sound of rhythmic tapping echoed from the adjoining wall: Bernard sat up straight, straining his ears to decipher the Morse code: [It’s me, Mr. Quartus.]

With a nod, he tapped back: [How’s Robin doing?]

A cold, ruthless look flashed in Bernard’s eyes. He had a hard time killing Sophie and Mr. Ben due to the chip control. But he could take someone else down in their place.

With this thought, he tapped back: [Robin died in the eighth round.]
