A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 106

Eleanor smiled, feeling a bit silly. What did their wedding have to do with her?

Seeing her bitter smile, Jason furrowed his brows slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Eleanor shook her head, not answering, but her eyes were filled with sadness.

Jason thought she was bothered by what Cedric said and quickly reassured, "Don't worry about Cedric's words. He's just targeting me because I called off the marriage with his sister and embarrassed him. It has nothing to do with you."

Eleanor nodded. No one would care about her feelings anyway.

Seeing the desperation in her eyes, Jason's frown deepened, "You look very upset. Did something happen?"

Is it that obvious?

Eleanor touched her stiff face, which was cold and without any warmth.

She must look terrifying, right?

Eleanor forced a smile, "Nothing's wrong. I just don't feel well."

Jason somewhat believed her excuse, "Is it your leg bothering you?"

She couldn't walk, so it must be the problem with her leg.

However, when he was carrying her earlier, he hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Eleanor nodded, "My leg is a bit swollen. It might be due to varicose veins."

She was wary of Jason, unsure if he was truly amnesiac or just pretending, so she chose to hide the truth for now.

Though Jason knew the symptoms of varicose veins wouldn't normally impair walking, he didn't dare ask more. The last time he inquired about her condition at the villa, she had gotten angry. It was better not to provoke her again.

Jason didn’t press further, but he was concerned about her well-being, "Let Tyler check you out. He's a terrific doctor, and I'm sure he can fix any issues you have."

Eleanor's smile grew more bitter, "No need."

It's almost time for her to die, so what's the point of wasting medical resources?

"You..."

Jason wanted to persuade her further, but Eleanor turned to look out the window, seemingly refusing to continue the conversation. He had no choice but to shut up.

Soon, they arrived at Eleanor's neighborhood, and Jason parked the car, carried her upstairs.
