A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1066

Yeager candidly confessed his ambition, which brought a slight smile to Bernard's face.

"You may be keen on bagging that medical award, but I'm afraid the more you want it, the less likely I'll let you have it."

Hearing such ruthless words, Yeager turned red in the face.

"Why?!"

Bernard twirled a small knife in his hand under the sunlight, the blade reflecting a blinding light.

"Because your life and future are in my hands."

The reflected light from the blade made Yeager instinctively close his eyes.

In the moment he closed his eyes, Yeager felt a cut on his wrist.

When he opened his eyes, he saw bright red blood seeping from his skin...

The man who had hurt him didn't even blink at the sight of the blood, as if life meant nothing to him.

Yeager couldn't believe it. He thought Bernard was just trying to intimidate him, but he was shocked when Bernard actually harmed him. Fear gripped him, and his face turned pale.

Jess was also terrified and tried to back away, but the bodyguard at the door blocked her path, pushing her back.

Aidyn handed a wet wipe to Bernard, who casually cleaned the blade in front of Yeager. The sight sent shivers down Yeager's spine.

"Dr. Yeager, I'm not a patient man. If you don't tell me what I want to know, I'll keep hurting you," Bernard coldly threatened.

The pain in his wrist made Yeager realize that Bernard wasn't making empty threats. He could tell that this man was not only cunning but also fearless. Yeager had misjudged him, never expecting him to be so ruthless.

Desperate to escape the situation, Yeager asked, "If I tell you, will you let me go back to my country?"

Bernard let out a cold laugh but nodded nonchalantly, leaving Yeager unsure of what to do next as he stared at his bleeding wrist.
