A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1343

Eleanor nodded slightly, and after a long silence, she relayed the events of Area Opaca to Hailey.

Hailey listened, stunned for a moment, and then lifted her hand to tenderly touch Eleanor’s thin face, “You’ve suffered a lot.”

That was all she said. She didn’t try to console Eleanor or defend Bernard, but her words spoke volumes.
