A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 343

Eleanor was in the ICU with severe burns on her back, her skin tissue getting infected repeatedly, and doctors working non-stop to save her life.

Two weeks later, she finally pulled through, but the intense pain knocked her out again when she woke up.

Liana was running around nonstop, doing everything in her power to bring Eleanor back from the brink of death.

Bernard, watching all this from outside the door, felt his heart aching like he was suffocating.

He would rather have the acid splashed on him than have Eleanor take the hit for him.

But to repay his debt, she chose this brutal way.

With red eyes, he stared through the glass at Eleanor, who passed out from the pain, wishing he could take it for her.

Time flew by. Liana, eyes glued to the heart monitor, let out a sigh of relief when the frequency returned to normal.

She stepped out from another door and told Bernard and Hailey, "Ms. Shultz is out of danger now."

Hearing this, Hailey collapsed to the floor, her emotions bottled up for two weeks suddenly pouring out uncontrollably as she covered her face and cried.

Liana went over and hugged Hailey, comforting her while looking at Bernard standing at the door.

She didn't know how Bernard was feeling at the moment, but she was sure they both let out a sigh of relief.

Two days later, Eleanor was transferred to a regular ward.

Hailey bought a bunch of stuff, planning to stay by Eleanor's bedside, but saw Bernard gently wiping Eleanor's cheek with a towel.

So, she put down the stuff and left.

She called Garett, but he didn't pick up.

Hailey felt a little confused. Eleanor had been in the ICU for so long, and Garett hadn't shown up once.

She put down her phone, sighed, and looked back at Bernard, whose eyes were full of Eleanor.

At that moment, she suddenly understood why Garett hadn't come.

Bernard, treating her like a treasure, wiped her face and hands.

Then he put down the towel, took a cotton swab, dipped it in water, and moistened her dry lips.

He stood there by her bedside, silently taking care of her, waiting for her.

Eleanor, as if in a fog, saw both Bernard and Garett.

They stood at the edge of a cliff, both reaching out, asking her to choose.
