A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 277

After Yilia left, Eleanor seemed a bit dazed, as if she hadn't expected Bernard not only to save Garett but also to hire someone to take care of him.

Seeing her in a daze, Garett knew what she was thinking. He gently put down the fork in his hand and looked at her with a complex expression.

"Eleanor, over the past three years, Bernard has done a lot to keep me alive..."

"It seems like he's trying to atone for something in this way. I don't know what he's atoning for, but I know he loves you very much."

Garett said these words, making up for not being honest with Eleanor back then.

He breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but look at her, trying to see if she still loved Bernard after three years.

Eleanor lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions, and softly asked him, "You're obviously still alive, so why did the news report that you were dead?"

Instead of answering his question, she chose to evade, either still in love with Bernard or having let him go.

Garett didn't dare to ask further, afraid that the answer would be unbearable, so he answered her question instead.

"Someone wanted to get rid of me, so Bernard put out fake news to protect me..."

On the night Garett tried to commit suicide, those people saw that he hadn't succeeded and rushed out impatiently, shooting at him.

Bernard swiftly pushed him aside, shielding him from harm while simultaneously confronting their assailants.

If it weren't for Bernard's men hearing the gunfire and subduing those people in time, Garett would have died in the cemetery long ago.

After telling Eleanor what happened, he said, "Bernard was seriously injured while saving me..."

Although Garett didn't want to live, his life was saved by Bernard...

And since Eleanor appeared in this villa, he guessed that it was also Bernard who brought her here.

So, no matter what, he couldn't hide these things from Eleanor.

Eleanor's heart trembled a little, but she forced herself not to show it: "Garett, who wanted to get rid of you?"
