A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1346

After Peterson left, Robin and Cedric came back and asked Eleanor what Peterson wanted with her. Eleanor explained that he wanted to conduct a DNA test.

The room fell silent. The men questioned how he'd found her, while Hailey was thrilled.

She rushed forward to grasp Eleanor's hand, "Eleanor, this is just fantastic! Your family has finally found you!"

Orphans tend to get overly excited about these things, as if they're the ones being reunited with long-lost family. Hailey's eyes welled up with tears.

"Let's not get too excited. The results aren't in yet."

There are many people in the world who look like each other and don't necessarily share blood ties.

"I'll wait for the results before I get too excited."

Hailey was pregnant and had put on a healthy amount of weight, looking adorable.

Eleanor couldn't resist poking her plump little hand, "Cedric has been taking good care of you, right? You've put on some weight."

Cedric was proud and huffed out his chest, "Of course. Since my wife is pregnant, it's my job to take care of her."

Upon hearing this, Hailey playfully shoved him. It took Cedric a moment to notice Eleanor's frail, thin frame.

He was immediately regretful for his thoughtless words and quickly tried to make amends, "Eleanor, I'll take care of you just as well as I've been taking care of Hailey."

Eleanor had been alone throughout her pregnancy. She was skinny and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Cedric felt a pang of guilt. He didn't know when Bernard would be back, but he hoped he wouldn't miss Eleanor's entire pregnancy. That would be a shame.

Eleanor, however, wasn't concerned, "You don't need to take care of me. Just take care of Hailey. I can handle myself."

Seeing that Hailey was about to cry, Eleanor suggested she go rest. However, Hailey refused to leave.

Just then, the food that Robin had ordered arrived.

Eleanor suggested they all eat together to divert the conversation.

After dinner, Eleanor asked Robin about Katharine's situation.

Robin explained that since they'd left, Katharine had been unstable, violently lashing out and causing several injuries.
