A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1461

Bernard’stood quietly at the doorway, his heart aching as he saw Eleanor cry her eyes out. Torn between the love for his wife and his unborn child, he felt the unbearable weight of an impossible choice.

But as a man, it was his duty to shoulder such burdens, no matter how heavy. All he could wish for was that after this agonizing decision, his Eleanor would be safe. Without her, life held little meaning,

Looking into her earnest eyes, Bernard felt his resolve weaken but knew he had to be firm. He gently held her wrist and, with weary red eyes, whispered, “Eleanor, I can’t take that gamble.”

His words shattered the last glimmer of hope in her eyes, leaving her deflated and devoid of strength to reach for the skies.
