A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 279

Seeing Eleanor express her gratitude, Liana felt even guiltier, and the past incident still weighed heavily on her mind.

But in front of Jason, even though Liana had a lot to tell Eleanor, she didn't blurt it out right away.

She chatted briefly with Eleanor, then started examining Jason's legs to check the muscle atrophy.

With Jason's leg nerves already deceased, the chances of him walking again were exceedingly slim. The primary objective now was to prevent excessive muscle atrophy.

After the examination, Eleanor couldn't wait to ask Liana, "Dr. Terrill, how are his legs? When can he stand up?"

Liana was about to tell the truth, but Jason, sitting in his wheelchair, clenched his fist, coughed on purpose, and used his eyes to signal her not to say it.

Liana frowned, not understanding why Jason wanted to hide it from Eleanor. She hesitated for a moment, then told Eleanor, "Why don't you ask him?"

Liana didn't want to hide the truth anymore. From now on, she would let the patients face this kind of issue themselves.

Eleanor glanced at Jason and realized he had been deceiving her.

However, she didn't expose Jason; rather, she asked Liana, "Dr. Terrill, is there any way to treat him?"

Liana looked at Jason, only giving the harsh answer, "It's untreatable," after he nodded in agreement.

Eleanor's face turned pale, and her guilt deepened.

Jason saw Eleanor's expression and quickly comforted her, "Eleanor, don't worry. I'm used to being in a wheelchair, and it's alright."

Eleanor took a deep breath and seemed to make a decision. She promised Jason, "Garett, no matter how long you're in the wheelchair, I'll be by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life."
