A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1303

Eleanor and Robin had not consumed a single drop of food or water since the beginning of the game. Even the most hardened of players would falter under these conditions.

Eleanor was especially exhausted, but the uncertainty of Bernard's survival kept her awake.

Robin, on the other hand, was desperate to use the bathroom. However, being handcuffed to Eleanor meant that he could not go, so he had to endure it until he was curled up in discomfort.

As they both wrestled with their own discomfort, the control panel in Room 9 whirred to life again.

This time instead of a card slot, it dispensed two meals.

A simple dinner, complete with milk and beverages, and even bottled water, all for the players.

Robin coaxed a reluctant Eleanor to eat and drink. Afterward, he made a request. "Come with me to the bathroom."

Eleanor, having just downed her last glass of milk, glanced towards the bathroom and then back at him. "Let's go."

In their current situation, there was no room for modesty. Survival and health were paramount.

Once inside the bathroom, Eleanor turned her back to Robin, closing her eyes and blocking her ears with one hand.

Robin, previously desperate, found he couldn't relieve himself. Torn between embarrassment and discomfort, he chose the latter.

He led Eleanor out of the bathroom and threw himself onto the bed, covering his face with his hands.

"You can't keep holding it in, there are still many rounds to go, you..."

"Enough talk, just sleep, I'll feel better when I wake up."

Despite not drinking a drop of water to avoid needing the bathroom again, it didn't help Robin. He still felt the urge.

By the early hours of the morning, he couldn't take it anymore. He woke Eleanor from her sleep and, in a state of frantic urgency, pulled her to the bathroom again.

When he emerged, he looked utterly forlorn. After all, who would want to do such a thing in front of someone they liked?

He dove under the covers, vowing to himself that he would never, ever let Eleanor know about his feelings for her. Eleanor, however, was so drowsy she barely remembered any of this. She didn't give a second thought to Robin's bathroom troubles.
