A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 275

After spacing out for a while, Eleanor snapped back to reality and slowly looked at Garett's leg, "What about you? What's the deal with your leg?"

Garett followed her gaze, touched his crippled leg, and said nonchalantly, "Just a gunshot wound, no biggie."

Hearing the words "gunshot wound," Eleanor thought about a love-suicide and guilt filled her face, "Was it because you...suicided in front of my tombstone...?"

Garett shook his head and denied, "No, it has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."

Eleanor couldn't accept that, so she frowned and said, "Garett, we've known each other for so many years. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

They were each other's first love and had been family for many years. Their deep bond couldn't be erased by time.

Garett stared at her, silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "After you passed away, I wanted to die with you... but Bernard stopped me..."

As he said this, he unconsciously glanced at Eleanor, seeing that her expression didn't change much, he continued, "He took the gun from my hand, and while I was determined to kill myself, I accidentally hurt my leg during the struggle..."

Eleanor looked at him in a daze, "Why would you do something so foolish..."

Garett smiled, "Eleanor, what's the point of living without you?"

Eleanor's guilt magnified infinitely, making her feel extremely remorseful.

Garett was still alive, but his leg was injured, and he could no longer move freely like before.

He claimed it wasn't her fault, but everything happened because of her.

She touched his leg with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, I caused this..."

Garett didn't mind and gently comforted her, "Eleanor, it really has nothing to do with you. I just hurt my leg by accident."

Eleanor shook her head with tears in her eyes, "If I hadn't suddenly passed away, you wouldn't have..."

Garett raised his hand to stop her from continuing, "No matter when you passed away, I would've followed you."

That was always his plan, and no one could stop him, including her.
