A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 390

"Luckily, the bleeding isn’t bad and the situation isn’t too grim. We'll try some meds first. If things go south, we might need to do surgery."

The hospital's dean put the X-ray in his hands, turning to look at Bernard, who was half-sitting on the bed. Seeing that his mouth was no longer bloody, he let out a sigh of relief.

Thank god the bleeding stopped in time and there was no infection. If something happened to this big-shot investor in his hospital, the Laurence family might have his head.

Eleanor, who was standing by the bed, felt her tense body gradually relax at hearing the dean's words.

"Is there anything he needs to be careful about during his stay?"

Eleanor exhaled again, her eyes meeting Bernard's, who was staring at her.

He still got hit, but luckily it wasn't life-threatening.

Eleanor looked at him with her beautiful eyes, remained silent for a moment, then gently nodded.

After taking his meds, Bernard started to feel a bit tired.

Seeing him dozing off, Eleanor wanted to get up and prepare some stuff for his stay, but he held her hand tightly.

She tried to pull her hand away, but his brows knitted together instantly.

He seemed to fear she would leave, even under the influence of the meds and in deep sleep, he didn’t want to let go.

Seeing Bernard like this, Eleanor's heart started to open up.

She couldn't help but reach out, gently touching his handsome face.
