A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1102

Garett stopped Sigrid from leaving and asked, "How much do you need as compensation?"

Sigrid had initially wanted to say that she was doing it as a charity and didn't need any payment. However, she was concerned that Garett might not accept that answer, so she changed her response, "If it's one hundred thousand dollars, can you afford it?"

The typical cost of a rehabilitation therapist would be a few thousand dollars at most. Sigrid deliberately raised the compensation amount to make Garett feel at ease accepting her help.

Garett didn't quite grasp Sigrid's intention, but he found the figure of one hundred thousand dollars rather jarring, piercing his heart and leaving him pale. "I can afford it," he said. Now, he could indeed afford that amount.

With his agreement, Sigrid turned and left directly.

Garett stayed in place for a moment before wheeling himself back to the living room. Perhaps he wanted to say goodbye to Eleanor as she hadn't left yet.

"Eleanor, we'll be heading back now. We'll come to see you another day," Eleanor informed him.

Garett nodded, a faint, elegant smile forming on his lips. "Eleanor, I'll be going abroad for surgery soon, and I won't be in B City for the next few months. You don't have to come to see me specifically."

Colter, who was standing nearby, looked at Garett thoughtfully. He knew that surgery could be done here, but Garett chose to go abroad. What was the meaning behind this decision?

"Did the doctor advise you to have the surgery abroad?" Colter inquired.

"Yes," Garett replied.

Garett placed his hand on his leg, his fingers slightly closing into a fist.

"The medical equipment here is not as advanced, the doctor suggested I have the surgery abroad."

After saying that, he glanced at Sigrid.

"When I return from the surgery, Ms. Laurence will help me with my rehabilitation."

It seemed as if Sigrid had seen through Garett's thoughts, and she nodded at Eleanor.

"Mr. Clowers and I have agreed that I'll assist in his rehabilitation when he returns from his surgery."
