A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 220

"I thought dying for love was only an ancient legend, but I didn't expect someone to actually do it," Ethan's words trickled into Eleanor's ears, striking her heart, leaving her in disbelief.

She struggled to sit up from the bed, exhausting all her strength, but was unable to move.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she fixed her gaze on Ethan, her mouth opening to finally utter fragmented words, "I... dreamt... he... didn't... die..."

She indeed dreamt of Garett kneeling in front of a grave and shooting himself, but someone had saved him.

She couldn't believe that Garett was dead. He had promised her to take care of Hailey, how could he just follow her in death.

Ethan put away his phone, looking at her with a hint of sympathy. "This news was broadcast on television two years ago, while you were unconscious. Your body reacted strongly at the time, but you didn't wake up. I guess you must have heard the news of his death, couldn't accept it, and thus fabricated a beautiful dream in your subconscious mind."

Eleanor didn't believe she had created a dream. How could such a vivid dream be fabricated?!

A million denials crossed her mind, yet tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.

Garett had once said, if she died, he would commit suicide at her grave, and not live alone.

She remembered that before she died, he told her he would give her an explanation. Was this his explanation?

Was Garett really dead? What about Hailey? She was her only family left in this world.

And what about her? She was saved, but he died. What should she do?

Eleanor wept until she broke down. Her immobilized body, due to intense shock, showed some reactions.

She moved her fingers, extending them towards Ethan. "Phone..."

She wanted to call Garett to tell him that she wasn't dead.

Seeing her tear-streaked face, Ethan slightly frowned, "You can't accept it?"
