A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1341

Robin followed his gaze to the figure sprawled on the hospital bed, lost in deep thoughts. It was Eleanor. He spoke softly, wary of disturbing her, "Why are you here for her?"

Peterson, under Robin's scrutinous gaze, paced into the room with long strides.

"She was working on a project for my grandfather, but there's an issue with the blueprints. I came to discuss revisions."

Peterson eyes moved from Robin to Eleanor, who was in peaceful sleep.

"Coincidentally, I was visiting a friend in the next room and noticed her here. What happened to her?"

Robin knew Eleanor was an architect, so he didn't find Peterson's explanation suspicious. However, he retained a hint of caution in his response.

"She's pregnant and her body isn't holding up well. She's here for prenatal care."

Peterson looked surprised, seemingly unaware of Eleanor's pregnancy. He cast a glance at the IV bag hanging beside her bed, "I see…"

Robin nodded and said, "She doesn't have the energy for projects right now. Please, Mr. Peterson, you should go."

Peterson looked at Robin, who stood unwaveringly by Eleanor's side. His eyes, deep as a lake, were filled with melancholy, "Alright, I'll come back when she's awake."

Peterson turned and left the room, his appearance seemingly just a coincidence.

Eleanor, under the influence of the medicine, slept soundly, unaware of Peterson's visit.

However, she was trapped in a nightmare, her forehead and back slick with cold sweat.

In her dream, she was repeatedly pushed away by Bernard, falling to the ground unable to get up. When she finally managed to struggle to her feet, she was pushed into the sea by Sophie, Cameron, and Bernard.

She reached out for help, but Bernard swam away without looking back…

She could only watch his retreating figure and get engulfed by the sea with despair.

"It hurts..." Eleanor clutched her chest, curling into a small ball under the covers.

Robin, watching her, hesitated for a moment before taking her hand into his, "Eleanor, you're having a nightmare. Wake up, it won't hurt when you're awake."
