A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1357

Ignoring the pain that laced his own body, Robin swiftly scooped Katharine into his arms.

"I'll take you to the doctor."

"Take her to the doctor, so he can abort the baby." York's words felt more painful to Katharine than the slap he had given her earlier.

Her father was afraid that her pregnancy would affect his business alliance.

In the end, it seemed that her parents didn't truly love her as much as she thought.

Without paying any heed to York, Robin quickly carried Katharine out of the ward.

After they had left, York turned back to gaze at Eleanor, her face covered in burn marks.

He had agreed to find Eleanor because he heard from Robin that she was Vanya's daughter.

When he found her on the deserted island, he had mistaken her for Vanya, and was dazed for a while. But York was rational and didn't let his emotions get the best of him.

To him, Vanya was just a girl he had loved in his youth. Despite the lingering affection, it was all in the past now.

York shook off his thoughts, shifted his gaze away from Eleanor, and left the room. After they had left, Hailey picked up the ointment that the doctor had left behind and continued to apply it to Eleanor's burns, "I don't know why Katharine would take her anger out on you."

Hailey felt more empathy for Eleanor than she did for Katharine.

"She was upset, she reacted strongly. Once she calms down, she'll be okay."

Seeing that Eleanor didn't blame Katharine, Hailey let out a sigh and refrained from complaining further. Eleanor turned to Cedric sitting beside her, "Cedric, can you go check on Katharine? I'm worried about her baby..."

Exposure to blood could easily trigger a miscarriage, and Eleanor was genuinely concerned.

Cedric didn't really want to go, but he left the room anyway.

After a long while, Robin and Cedric returned.

Upon seeing Eleanor's face covered in ointment, Robin's first concern was for her, "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

Eleanor, propped up against the headboard, shook her head and asked about Katharine's baby.
