A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1356

Katharine's words were harsh, and understandably, Eleanor felt a stab of guilt, "Katharine, I don't belittle Caleb, and neither does Bernard. He thinks of Caleb as his own brother, and he..."

"He thinks of Caleb as a brother, so he send him to his death?!"

"Bernard went to Area Opaca, and the first person he didn't tell was Caleb. He didn't want to drag him into it, how can you think he would send him to his death?"

Despite Eleanor's explanation, Katharine wasn't having any of it. Her anger, which had just cooled, flared up again, "Shut up! I don't want to hear your excuses, you're all in this together!"

"Katharine..." Before Eleanor could finish her sentence, Katharine, wild with rage, got up and lunged at her. Before Cedric could intervene, or Robin could hold her back, a mature and steady figure rushed in.

The figure, upon entering, swiftly raised a hand and slapped Katharine across the face.

"What an embarrassment!"

York had a strong hand, and with that slap, Katharine lost her balance and fell to the ground.

She felt a pain in her belly, and something began to ooze out. But she just sat there, stunned, looking at York.

York didn't notice the blood. He stood over her, glaring at her in rage.

"You've been secretly dating that bodyguard Caleb, and you're carrying his child. If you have no sense of shame, fine. But you're making a scene over a dead man!"

"He's not dead!" With a strength she didn't know she had, Katharine pushed away Robin, who had bent down to help her up. She balled her fists and screamed at York, "Caleb's not dead, he's alive and well, I won't let you curse him!!"

In recent times, Katharine's mental state had been unstable. York had been keeping a vigilant watch over her, taking care of her day and night, but it seemed... she couldn't be woken up from her delusion.
