A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1338

In the haze of her thoughts, Eleanor saw Bernard push her away, turning to sweep Sophie into his embrace.

She froze, then charged towards them, but Bernard merely glared at her with furrowed brows.

“We’re divorced, Eleanor. Why can’t you let go?”

Eleanor stood, disbelieving, gazing up at Bernard who towered over her, “We’re divorced?”

Bernard didn’t respond, only held Sophie closer, showing her tenderness.

After standing stunned for a while, Eleanor took a step forward. She wanted to separate them, but then saw Bernard lean down to kiss Sophie. At the moment their lips touched, Eleanor’s world shattered.

Reeling from the pain, she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing the white ceiling, Eleanor realized she’d been having a nightmare, one where Bernard was kissing someone else.

Just as she was sighing in relief that it had only been a dream, she realized she was lying in a hospital bed. She slowly turned her gaze and a familiar face, handsome and aloof, suddenly came into view.

“You’re awake?” The man’s eyes lit up upon seeing her awake, twinkling like a sky full of stars.

Eleanor stared at him, momentarily dazed, before reaching out to touch his face.

It felt real.

He was alive.
