A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 193

After Aidyn finished speaking, he looked up at Bernard.

His face was still expressionless.

Aidyn didn't know if Mr. Laurence didn't hear what he said clearly or if he just didn't care about Ms. Shultz's death. Why didn't he show any reaction?

After hesitating at the door for a while, Aidyn awkwardly said, "Well, Mr. Laurence, I won't bother you to rest then."

As he turned to leave, a gloomy voice came from behind. Bernard asked, "Who did you say died?"

Aidyn frowned. He thought he'd made himself quite clear, did Mr. Laurence not hear him?

Muttering to himself, Aidyn turned back around to face the cold man standing inside the room.

"It’s Eleanor, Ms. Shultz."

Afraid that he wouldn't understand, Aidyn emphasized Eleanor's name on purpose.

Bernard frowned and said in a low voice, "What kind of joke is this? She's fine, how could she be dead?"

Aidyn stood there, realizing that his boss didn't misunderstand; he simply didn't believe that Ms. Shultz had died.

He relayed what Liana had told him to Bernard, "Mr. Laurence, Ms. Shultz had heart failure."

Bernard scoffed, "She just has a heart condition, how could it be heart failure?!"

Before Aidyn could say that it was at a late stage, Bernard slammed the door shut, cutting him off from the conversation.

The moment the door closed, Aidyn thought he saw Mr. Laurence's hand trembling, holding his phone...

Bernard steadied his shaky hand and dialed the number he had memorized.

He couldn't believe that Eleanor was dead. He felt that she was blaming him for slapping her and was fooling him on purpose.

He had to hear her voice; otherwise, his panicking heart would not be able to calm down.
