The man in the car kept a close watch on the figure in the rear view mirror, shrinking as she squatted on the ground...
Until the figure turned into a little black dot, the man suddenly let go of his clenched fist and yelled out.
"Stop the car!"
The driver hit the brakes immediately, and a dozen or so luxury cars behind him also stopped quickly.
Bernard, trembling, picked up his black coat and pushed open the car door, striding quickly towards Eleanor.
Stepping on the snow, he stopped in front of her, hearing her laugh in an odd way, and took a deep breath.
"Eleanor..."
He called her name, and the person on the ground shivered but didn't dare to look up.
Bernard stared at the frail figure, his aloof eyes turning red in an instant.
He knelt on one knee in front of her, spread the coat in his hands, and wrapped her skinny body in it.
"It's freezing. Why are you dressed so lightly?"
His voice made Eleanor feel dazed again.
It wasn’t until the coat brought her warmth that she came back to her senses.
She slowly lifted her head, looking at the man kneeling before her...
"The Eleanor you just called, was it me?"
She cautiously asked him.
"The Eleanor I've been calling has always been you."
Eleanor tilted her head with a puzzled look, somewhat confused.
"But didn't you break up with me?"
If he broke up with her, why was he still calling her Eleanor and kneeling in front of her to cover her with a coat?
