A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 239

Eleanor cried until she had no tears left. She tried to break free from Hailey several times to be with Garett, but Hailey held her tight, not wanting her to hurt herself.

Determined to keep Eleanor safe, Hailey finally calmed the heartbroken girl down. Unable to stand any longer, Eleanor slowly crouched down, leaning against the wall.

Hailey wanted to take Eleanor to a private room to rest, but Eleanor refused. She squatted in the corner, hugging her arms and burying her head in her arm crook.

She looked like a child abandoned by the world, left all alone.

Hailey stayed by her side, not daring to disturb her. She let the people around them leave and squatted next to Eleanor.

Three years ago, Hailey had suffered a devastating blow herself: her husband cheated on her, her family member died, and for a long time, she couldn't pull herself together.

Back then, her world had collapsed, but she had to find her way to move on.

It was this belief that kept her going, and she never expected to reunite with Eleanor. Now that they could see each other, she wouldn't let her make any foolish decisions. She would do her best to protect Eleanor and hold onto her.

Hailey patted Eleanor’s shoulder, hoping to offer some comfort.

Time passed, and they stayed in the corner until a man in a suit approached.

Hailey looked up at him. Seeing his gaze constantly on Eleanor, she nervously asked who he was.

He went straight to Eleanor, gently pushing her head with his slender fingers. "It's ten o'clock. Let's go home."

Eleanor recognized the voice as Ethan's but didn't look up, staring at the floor, her eyes empty.
