Eleanor got the picture and nodded, "Alright, I'll take your advice. Now, you either get on the plane or the ambulance."
If he didn't get his bleeding stopped asap, he wouldn't be able to handle it. Seeing her worry for him, Bernard decided to follow her advice and held her hand as they boarded the plane.
That night, Eleanor stayed by Bernard's side, waiting for the doctors to stop his bleeding, stitch up his wound, and change his dressing. Only after all these tasks were completed, did she let out a sigh of relief.
As dawn approached, Eleanor realized the wedding might not happen on time, so she suggested to Bernard, "Can we postpone the wedding by one day?"
But Bernard, who was helping her dry her hair, firmly said, "No, we have to have the wedding today."
Eleanor, holding some cold medicine, turned to Bernard with concern, "But what about your injury..."
Bernard nonchalantly dismissed her worry, declaring, "No injury is more important than our wedding."
Before Eleanor could respond, Bernard grabbed a hairdryer and began drying her hair.
Afterwards, he drove her back to Hailey's villa himself, his grip on the steering wheel firm.
"At 11 o'clock, I will come to pick you up along with the Laurence family," he stated firmly.
Originally scheduled for 10 o'clock, Bernard decided to give Eleanor some extra rest, concerned about her fatigue.
After tousling Eleanor's hair playfully, he waved at Aidyn.
"Make sure there are a hundred bodyguards stationed here, and don't allow anyone to come close," he instructed.
"Understood!" Aidyn promptly responded, reaching for his phone to coordinate with the bodyguards.
Bernard held Eleanor's hand tightly, and with a sense of responsibility, he personally handed her over to Hailey. He repeatedly reminded her of various matters before finally departing.
Hailey and Liana were relieved to see Eleanor safe and sound.
"Eleanor, you know, Liana and I were almost scared to death."
"Me too!"
