In the orphanage, Bernard was holding Eleanor with Liana's help, placing her on the carpet.
Liana found someone in the orphanage and got a soft hose, using a lot of water to repeatedly wash the sulfuric acid off Eleanor's back.
During the rinsing, Eleanor, who was lying on the ground, was still trembling uncontrollably even though she was unconscious.
Bernard couldn't breathe, heartbroken at the sight of her pain.
A strong sense of guilt hit him, and he knelt before her again.
He gently touched her pale face.
His fingertips felt the icy cold skin that made his heart ache.
His heart skipped a beat, and the fear and dread of losing her once again three years ago instantly flooded his mind.
His trembling hand placed under her nose couldn't feel her breath, and he slumped down, powerless.
"Liana... she's not breathing..."
Hearing Bernard's trembling voice, Liana paused washing the acid off and quickly reached out to check Eleanor's breath and pulse.
"There's still a faint breath, but Eleanor just had major surgery, and now she's been seriously injured again, I'm afraid she won't make it..."
Just as Liana finished speaking, Bernard suddenly lost control of his emotions, "No, she'll be fine, I won't let anything happen to her!"
He anxiously took the hose from Liana's hand, not caring if his fingers touched the sulfuric acid, and desperately helped her rinse.
Seeing this scene, Hailey couldn't help but cry, praying in her heart over and over again, hoping Eleanor could pull through.
Outside the door, Garett wanted to help, but he could only sit in his wheelchair, powerless.
