A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 739

Eleanor couldn't stand him saying "I'm not here" anymore. She wrestled free from his grip, frowning.

"Say that again, I dare you."

"I said..."

Bernard wanted to repeat it, but seeing her tearful eyes, he stopped instantly.

He looked a bit flustered, reaching out to hold her.

"I won't say it again, don't be mad, okay?"

"No!"

Eleanor pushed him away. She looked tense, her eyes full of worry.

"You had a brain tumor before, and I've looked it up, there's a chance it could come back. Why would you say such a thing? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Bernard stiffened. He thought he could hide it from her, but it turned out he couldn't hide anything.

He reached out, touching her pale face.

"I'm sorry, I won't say such things again. Don't worry, okay?"

Eleanor's eyes were red. After staring at him for a few seconds, she lunged into his arms.

"You said you'd be my husband forever. You have to take care of yourself, you can't let anything happen."

Bernard held her close, his chin resting on her shoulder.

"Okay, I promise, I'll take care of myself."

Just like their wedding vows, they would stay together till they were old, sharing life and death.

Hearing his promise, Eleanor relaxed a bit.

She pushed Bernard away and glanced at the bank card in her hand.
