The car quickly pulled up at the airport, and Eleanor tried to get out, but Bernard grabbed her hand in a flash.
His face was pale. He gripped her hand tightly, and he rasped, "Eleanor, let me walk you in."
Eleanor opened her mouth to speak, but Bernard interrupted her, "After I drop you off, I'll leave. Don't reject me."
He led her out of the car, had the bodyguards fetch her stuff, and personally escorted her into the airport.
When Eleanor saw Pearce sitting in the waiting area, she slightly raised her head and said to the man beside her, "You can leave now."
After that, she added, "Thanks for taking care of me during this time."
She then tried to pull her hand away, but Bernard refused to let it go.
Eleanor struggled a few times before looking at him, "Are you going back on your word again?"
Bernard shook his head, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly as if trying to meld her into his bones and blood.
He lowered his head and whispered, "Eleanor, can you hug me one more time?"
Hearing this, Eleanor's heart trembled, but she didn't reach out to hug him, and just stood there.
Bernard waited a long time for her response, but it didn't come. The unbearable pain made him let go of her.
"Eleanor, go, and don't look back."
Eleanor glanced at him, took the suitcase from the bodyguard, and without any hesitation, turned around and walked towards Pearce.
Watching her figure, Bernard's eyes reddened.
Eleanor didn't want him anymore.
This was all just a beautiful dream that belonged only to him.
He let out a bitter laugh, and his exhausted body was unable to stand properly.
He raised his trembling hand to lean on the bodyguard's shoulder, but suddenly his abdomen felt very uncomfortable.
The pain in his body made him unable to control himself, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
