A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 162

Upon hearing Hailey's remark, Allysha, who had intended to continue mocking her, abruptly fell silent. Hailey softened her gaze and turned her attention to Austin. "Since I still have to work the night shift, please take care of my sister."

Austin nodded, reaching for the car keys. "I'll drive you."

"No need, I came here by car," Hailey declined, prompting her to leave the ward hand in hand with Eleanor.

Once they were out of earshot, Allysha composed herself and addressed Austin. "You could have just explained the situation. Why did you have to return the 200,000?"

Austin glanced outside to ensure they were at a safe distance before responding. "If I hadn't returned the money, she probably wouldn't have believed me."

Allysha snorted coldly, her pretty face contorted with resentment. "How much longer do I have to wait?"

Austin walked up to her and rubbed her belly, soothing her: "Honey, as soon as she finishes paying the mortgage, I'll bring you to the city."

Upon hearing Austin's reassurance, Allysha's resentment gradually turned to certainty.

After leaving the ward, Eleanor sent Hailey the previously recorded video and reminded her: "Austin told me before that his sister didn't attend your wedding because she was pregnant and inconvenient, but when he just explained it to you, he said he only found out about her pregnancy today. His words seem reasonable, but they contradict each other. You should be more careful, something seems off between him and his sister..."

Seeing the video of Austin stroking Allysha's nose in the same way, Hailey's expression suddenly darkened.

"It's not just a bit off, it's an affair!"

"They're siblings, it couldn't be that serious, could it?"

"Who knows if they're even real siblings?!"
