A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1358

Eleanor eventually decided to visit Katharine.

Katharine lay in the hospital bed, her head turned towards the window.

The weather outside was gloomy, without a trace of sunlight, a reflection of the chilling atmosphere in the hospital room.

Eleanor stood outside the room for a long time before finally moving towards the bed.

"Do you mind if I sit and chat for a bit?"

Katharine didn't respond, nor did she stop her from coming in. She just quietly stared out of the window.

Eleanor's gaze shifted from Katharine's face to the two restraint straps around her waist.

Robin had told her that Katharine had gone berserk, lost her sanity, and had attacked the doctors, nurses, and care staff.

Left with no other choice, the hospital staff had administered sedatives and tied her to the bed.

If the doctors diagnosed her with a mental illness, Katharine would probably be sent to a mental institution by York himself.

Having lost her loved one, her child, and her freedom, Katharine was left with only one path.

Not wanting to see a repeat of what happened to Liana, Eleanor mustered up the courage to visit her.

She noticed the scars on Katharine's wrists, probably from a failed suicide attempt after losing her child.

The thought of Katharine's tragic life made Eleanor reach out and touch her cold and icy fingers.

She expected Katharine to push her away, and was prepared to retreat, but Katharine held on to her fingers, "It's been a long time... since anyone visited me."

Except for her brother, everyone else had abandoned her. She felt like a circus clown, with everyone laughing at her. They said she had turned into a terrible madwoman all because of a man. So... it had been a very long time since anyone had visited her...

Feeling Katharine's grip tighten around her hand, Eleanor also tightened her hold on Katharine's fingers.

She didn't worry about Katharine's previous madness, nor did she fear that Katharine might suddenly lose her sanity and hurt her again.

Because to Eleanor, Katharine was not insane, she had just lost the person she loved the most.

Katharine's vacant eyes slowly moved from the window to Eleanor's still red face, "Is your injury... getting better?"

Looking at those eyes that were now lucid, Eleanor raised her hand and touched her own face.
