A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 536

Eleanor still couldn't wrap her head around it. Shouldn't she have at least felt something if she was pregnant? How did this even happen?

She painstakingly lifted her hand to touch her belly, "How do you know it's been a month already?"

George glanced back at Ethan, knowing he wouldn't let him spill the beans. He had to keep up the charade with Eleanor, "Eleanor, I'm a doctor, I can tell."

In reality, he was just taking a wild guess based on the timeline. It had been twenty days since Ethan brought Eleanor back. And before that, she must have been with Bernard. He was simply guessing.

If Eleanor said they hadn't been intimate, he'd tell her the truth. He was lying to her to give her a reason to live. But when Eleanor responded with "How do you know?" George knew he had hit the nail on the head.

He hoped this white lie could give her a reason to live and go back to see Bernard. There’s always hope as long as you're breathing, right?

After he finished speaking, George leaned down to whisper encouragingly in Eleanor's ear, "Stay alive, only then can you go back to him."

He subtly hinted at Eleanor, but she was already brainwashed by Ethan, thinking she was going back to see Bernard in his grave.

She touched her belly, a myriad of emotions crossing her face. Why did she have to get pregnant at a time like this? Was Bernard trying to keep her from joining him?

Without him, what was the point of having a child?

Eleanor clutched her belly. Her eyes were empty as she looked at George, "Help me...."

She wanted to say “help me abort,” but couldn't get the words out. This was his child, a child they both had hoped for.

She missed him so much, she just wanted to die and see him. How could she die now with a child?

Eleanor curled up in agony, "Why, why. Why is this happening to me?!"

She just wanted to be with him. Was she not allowed to die? Why, why was this happening?
