A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 689

Eleanor didn't understand how serious the danger was, looking worriedly at Bernard, "Did you bring a doctor?"

Bernard nodded, soothing her by stroking her hair, then he glanced at Nina in the corner.

Nina noticed his gaze, quickly lowered her head, and began playing with her toy doll.

Bernard soon averted his eyes.

When he looked away, Nina began to sneak peeks at Bernard out of the corner of her eye.

Sitting across from Bernard, it only took a quick glance for her to see Bernard's clear face.

He looked handsome, a bit thinner than before but still as charming.

His handsomeness was unmatched by any other man, as if he was blessed by angels, the epitome of allure.

Nina watched Bernard for a while, then handed him the doll, without saying a word, giving him the most important thing.

Because, when she was locked in a dark room, nearly dying, it was this man who kicked open the door.

At that moment, Nina saw the sunlight pouring over him, like the arrival of God. He stepped into her line of sight, wearing military boots and carrying a gun.

After freeing her from the cage, he tucked his gun into his waistband, knelt down, and scooped her up into his arms.

As Nina rested her head on his shoulder, she began to cry, "I'm so thirsty, so hungry..."

Just like now, he didn't say much in response to her crying, only lightly patting her back.

He seemed naturally aloof, not even responding emotionally to a little girl as cute as Nina.

But his comforting pat on her back gave her a sense of security...

Nina felt that no words could be more powerful than this gesture.

Bernard was a man of few words, but he would prove himself through his actions.

Like his love for Eleanor, he might not be good at expressing it, but he would always protect her through his actions.

Nina thought Bernard was very responsible, so she could trust him with the doll left by her mother.

Her mother had told her, when she found someone she could trust, give him the doll, he would know what to do.
