A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 545

The assistant repeated carefully, "Bernard's awake."

Ethan was taken aback for a few seconds, but quickly regained his composure. He seemed to have anticipated this, not taking it to heart.

He nonchalantly picked up a napkin from the dining table to wipe the cereal smears off his fingers...

After cleaning up, he looked towards the surveillance camera and said to the assistant, "Since Bernard's awake, I'll send him a gift."

Bernard will be thrilled when he saw it, but I wonder if he'd get so ecstatic that he'd pass out again...

He was beginning to look forward to Bernard's reaction...

Lying in his hospital bed, Bernard was agonized by the surveillance footage sent to his phone, feeling as if his guts were being ripped apart.

Shivering, he swiped away the first video of Ethan feeding Eleanor, but uncontrollably clicked on the second one...

In the video, Eleanor was brimming with a tender smile, sweetly calling him, "Ethan..."

Ethan reciprocated with a happy smile and reached out to caress her hair.

The next video showed Ethan carrying a sleeping Eleanor from the living room to the bedroom, not coming out the whole night.

When Bernard got to this part, he couldn't bear to watch any further, feeling suffocated, as if his neck was being strangled.

He clenched his phone, trying to muster the strength to get up, but failed...

His immobilized body, the smothering pain in his heart, and the unbearable restlessness were driving him towards edge...

But Bernard, who was always good at keeping his emotions in check, soon steadied his breathing...

With a serious face, he picked up his phone again and continued watching the videos, focusing intently on Eleanor.

There were over thirty clips, each capturing a moment of the day where Eleanor was gentle towards Ethan, showing no other emotions, never once looking at the camera...

Bernard couldn't discern her true emotions from her eyes, he could only stare at her silhouette, trying to read something from it, but to no avail...

She seemed to have moved on from him and fallen for Ethan, but when Bernard saw her waist-length wavy hair, he knew that she had kept it for him.

His Eleanor once said, whether she was pregnant or not, she would marry him, so she wouldn't just fall for someone else in a mere two months.

Bernard didn't believe the videos for a second, only trusting in Eleanor's love for him...

They had been through so much, separated so many times due to mistrust.

Now, no matter what happened, he would unwaveringly trust her!
