A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 28

In about ten days, it's going to be the ninth of next month.

Eleanor was going to different hospitals every day to get prescriptions, saving up pills with sleep-inducing ingredients.

She stored the pills away and saw a box on the table.

That's when she remembered she hadn't returned the gown and necklace to Josef yet, so she quickly picked up her phone and arranged for a courier.

Even though she planned to deal with Josef, these things didn't belong to her, so she would definitely return them.

The courier came quickly, and once the stuff was sent out, she felt relieved.

Seeing the gown and necklace being returned, Josef's eyes lit up with excitement.

This woman, Eleanor, really is different; other people would've sold these luxurious things for money by now, but she returned them!

He figured he had met his match, but that was alright. Once she got the project, he would conquer her thoroughly!

After resting at home for a while, Eleanor received a call from Hailey.

Her custom-made wedding dress was ready, and she wanted Eleanor to come with her to the bridal shop to try it on.

Eleanor, exhausted, immediately went to the bridal shop Hailey sent her to.

Hailey's fiancé, Austin Zimmer, was also there, and he greeted Eleanor when she arrived.

Eleanor politely responded with a smile, "Where's Hailey?"

Austin gestured towards the changing room, "She's trying on her wedding dress - have a seat first."

Eleanor had known Austin for some time, so she didn't act overly formal, sitting down in the sofa area without hesitation.

This was also a late-stage symptom for heart failure patients. With the heart's pumping function severely diminished, a large amount of blood accumulates in the body's circulation, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain tissue, causing brain cell ischemia and hypoxia.

Once there's hypoxia, people can easily become sleepy and fatigued.
