A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1275

Eleanor felt a chill run through her body, extending to her very blood after listening to that revelation. The light and hope she had carefully nurtured were extinguished in an instant.

"So it was all a lie..."

The reassuring letters, the promise of a month, the commitment of two months, and the appearance of Garett in the third month... All were part of a deceitful plan.

Bernard Laurence was a master manipulator, he played her, exploiting her soft-heartedness, her obedience, and her reluctance to cause trouble. She felt like a puppet in his hands.

She forced a smile, one filled with bitterness and despair. The sight of her despair ignited a sense of guilt in Evan's heart.

"Mrs. Laurence, it's all my fault. I failed him, and I failed you."

Eleanor sat on the couch for what felt like an eternity, shivering from the cold before she finally regained her senses.

With her gaze fixed on Evan, who remained kneeling on the floor in remorse, she gave her demand, "Give me the address. I'll find him."

Alive or dead, she needed to see him. Even if he was burned to ashes, she would stand at the spot where it happened.

At this moment, Evan understood why Bernard had insisted that he not reveal the truth to Eleanor. Her love for Bernard was so profound that she was willing to risk her life for him.

"I'm sorry. I don't know the address."

He wasn't lying. They were all taken there unconscious, waking up in a cold, unfeeling room filled with electronics, devoid of any human presence.

"I'll find it myself."

Eleanor's voice was firm as she slowly rose from the couch. In her mind, being married meant standing by each other in life and death. If Bernard was alive, she would find him. If he was dead, she would find his remains. They were always meant to be together.

"Mrs. Laurence!" Evan quickly got up, blocking Eleanor's way, "It's a one-way ticket. Once you're in, there's no getting out."
