A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 356

Eleanor's fingers clenched tightly, but her face remained expressionless, "Dr. Teresa, that's your business, not mine."

Teresa gave a slight smile, showing her elegant grin, "Now that you say that, I get it."

After speaking, Teresa gracefully turned to face Liana, "Dr. Terrill, see you in the operating room."

With that, she hurriedly left the ward, her high heels clicking on the floor.

After she left, Hailey angrily said, "If I weren't worried she'd mess with the surgery, I would've cussed her out already."

Liana was also a bit angry but didn't say much. She pulled out her phone and kept calling Mr. Laurence.

He'd been in lockdown at the airbase for a month already – surely it was time to check his phone?

But still, it was turned off. Liana felt deflated, put down her phone, and looked at Eleanor.

"Eleanor, don't sweat it..."

Over the past two months, both she and Hailey had been by Eleanor's side; they had became closer and no longer as formal as before.

Eleanor relaxed her clenched fingers and smiled at Liana and Hailey, "I should be the one to say that. You guys don't worry about it..."

Whether she cared or not didn't matter anymore. For the rest of her life, Bernard had nothing to do with her.

Liana and Hailey exchanged glances, knowing Eleanor's personality, and didn't say anything more.

After Liana gave some pre-surgery instructions, she left to get busy with work, while Hailey stayed to take care of Eleanor in the ward.

Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the skin graft surgery.

Although Teresa saw Eleanor as a love rival, her medical ethics were impeccable, and she didn't sabotage the surgery.

To ease Eleanor's pain, Teresa even used expensive medication she'd brought back from abroad after the operation.

Eleanor lay in bed for another two months, gradually recovering after countless bouts of pain.

On the day she was discharged, Eleanor stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looked sideways at her back.

There were still some scars, but most of the skin had healed well, not as ugly as before.

She was quite satisfied with the outcome, turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and left the bathroom.

Hailey was packing stuff and asked, "Do you want to take those clothes in the closet with you?"

Eleanor glanced at the row of men's suits, her voice was flat, "I'll give them to Liana to return to him."
