A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1428

Chapter 1428 

Nobody paid much attention to whether Robin had left or not; all eyes were fixed on Bernard as blood streamed from his shoulder… 

“Sir, please let go of your lady. Let’s get you out of here for treatment,” Scott said, reaching out to take Eleanor from Bernard’s arms. But Bernard, clutching his wife, took a step back. 

That gesture only meant one thing: My wife, no one else touches her. 

“Lead the way,” Bernard commanded with a tilt of his chiseled chin, indicating for Scott to guide them. 

Snapping back to reality, Scott withdrew his arms and gestured politely, “This way, sir.” 

Holding Eleanor tightly, Bernard followed Scott, swiftly moving away from the chaotic scene at the Area Opaca biotech facility. 

Once they reached the surface, Bernard gently placed Eleanor into the helicopter before turning to face the members of Siren Organization. 

“The revenge that needed to be taken has been dealt with. You don’t need to follow me anymore. Disband here and now.” Having settled all scores, Bernard intended to let Yates and Xavier settle their own fights like dogs. 

With this thought in mind, he turned to board the helicopter but was stopped by a call from the Siren Organization. 

“Sir, we’re willing to leave the Siren Organization, but please, let us continue to follow you.” 

Even if they no longer had missions, following a man like Bernard, who was compassionate and responsible, seemed like a worthy path. 

Bernard, facing the sunset, turned slightly to look at the woman in the helicopter, worried about his injuries. 

“As you can see, my future life will only involve my wife. I have no intention of leading you any longer.” With that, Bernard’s cold and detached gaze shifted to Evan. “It’s in your hands now.” 

Bernard turned and swiftly boarded the helicopter. Aidyn followed quickly, with Scott on his heels. 

Aidyn, sitting in the pilot’s seat, frowned upon seeing Scott join him. “Didn’t Mr. Laurence just say to disband? What are you doing following us?” 

Scott pulled out a first-aid kit he had pilfered from the biotech facility and began to open it as he replied, “Aside from being a member of the Siren Organization, I’m also the personal bodyguard of the CEO’s wife.” 

Scott took out a hemostatic agent and looked at Eleanor, who was helplessly fixated on Bernard’s wound. 

“Mrs. Laurence, I can treat gunshot wounds. Would you like me to stay?” 

Eleanor, her eyes filled with helplessness, perked up at his words as if grasping at a lifeline. 

“Yes!” She nodded vigorously at Scott, her motions rapid and desperate. “Yes, yes, yes!” 

Bernard, seeing her reaction, slowly curled his lips into a smile, lifting his hand to gently ruffle her hair. “It’s going to be fine.” 

“How can it be fine when you’re losing so much blood?” 

Eleanor’s pleading gaze shifted to Scott as she said, “Just heal my husband, and you can stay as long as you want.” 

With Eleanor’s permission, Scott grinned triumphantly at Aidyn. 

“See that? The CEO’s wife personally ‘begged’ me to stay!” 

Aidyn rolled his eyes, knowing they couldn’t do without Scott’s skills at the moment. 

With a snort, Aidyn let the matter go, gripped the controls, and started up the helicopter… 

As the chopper lifted off, Scott deftly snipped open Bernard’s shirt. 

“Sir, I’ll apply the medication to stop the bleeding. Once we’re at the hospital, we’ll have surgery to remove the bullet.” 

As he spoke, Scott liberally applied the medication to the wound. Bernard, gripping Eleanor’s hand, unconsciously squeezed harder. 

Eleanor, sensing his pain, reached out with her other hand, grasping his and holding it close to her chest. 

“If you can’t bear it, just pinch me.” 

Bernard chuckled softly, about to say ‘Fool, how could I ever pinch you, when he noticed Scott smirking.
