A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1406

Cedric sank back into his chair, shock written all over his face. “Are you saying that the moment that chip was inserted into my brother’s brain, he was doomed?”

The doctors remained silent in the face of his questioning, which only fueled Cedric’s sudden eruption of rage. “I don’t care! You are doctors-the best money can buy for the Laurence family-and you will remove that chip and save my brother!”

The doctors exchanged uneasy glances, then looked to the man at the head of the table, Bernard, who had yet to speak a word. “Mr. Laurence,” one of the doctors started hesitantly, “while we do have the capability to perform the extraction, considering your personal safety, we strongly advise against it.”

Bernard fixed his gaze on the doctor. After a few seconds of heavy silence, he spoke, “What happens here today doesn’t leave this room.”

Cedric waited, only to be met with what seemed like Bernard’s resignation. His brow furrowed in frustration. “If they can’t do it, we’ll find someone who can. I refuse to believe-”

Bernard cut him off with a cold, stern voice. “If they’ve detected a virus in the chip, that means they’re already the best. Stop making it difficult for them.”

With that, Bernard nodded dismissively at the doctors. “You may leave now.”

Relieved to be excused, the doctors quickly gathered their reports and scans and stood to leave. However, just as the lead doctor reached the door, he paused, turning back to caution Bernard.
