Recently, Eleanor has been by Bernard's side, taking good care of him. Seeing his wounds slowly healing, the tension in her heart gradually eased.
After waiting for the doctor to change the medicine, she asked anxiously, "Will these scars fade after the wounds heal?"
"Shallow scars might fade, but deep ones are relatively difficult. But I'll use the best meds to help Mr. Laurence to the best of my ability."
Even though he used the phrase "to the best of my ability", the doctor was an internationally renowned surgeon. With him around, the problem shouldn't be too big.
Getting a straight answer, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
After chatting with Eleanor, the doctor left with his crew.
"Bernard, Ethan's funeral's done and he'll be buried the day after tomorrow. I'm heading overseas tomorrow to take Emilia's ashes."
The Ziegler family had called her first thing in the morning, hoping she'd get a move on.
Also, Casey had been thrown in the slammer by the royal family, sentenced to life, but he had supposedly offed himself pretty soon after.
Everyone knew Casey wouldn't have done the dirty himself. The only one who could've done him in under these circumstances was Evelyn Ziegler.
She had said she would have Casey join the funeral procession, and she definitely meant it. Evelyn's determination left the Ziegler family with no time to protect Casey.
With the funeral over, Emilia and Ethan's matters could be put on hold for a while. But the task of transporting the ashes had to be done by Eleanor herself.
Sitting at the bedside, Bernard, who was using his laptop, stopped typing when he heard she was leaving.
He looked up at Eleanor, "Do you really have to go?"
Eleanor nodded, "Let me do this last thing for Emilia."
