A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 890

Seeing Bernard massaging his temples like he used to, Eleanor rushed over nervously and grabbed his arm. "Honey, is your headache acting up again?"

Bernard's head was indeed throbbing, but he didn't want to worry her. So he quickly dropped his hand and tried to brush it off. "I'm not in pain, just a bit tired. Don't overthink it."

He had a brain tumor before. How could Eleanor not worry? "If you're not feeling well, you have to tell me. Don't hide it from me."

Bernard nodded with a conflicted and hesitant look on his face. It seemed like he was torn between keeping her in the dark and sharing the truth with her.

Eleanor had been with Bernard for so many years that she could predict his every move. Now, just mentioning something about his birth mother, he was already in severe pain, even unable to confront himself. It suggested that his birth mother was related to her.

Eleanor thought back to when Blake insisted on divorce after discovering she was from the Pine family. She had assumed it was due to a family feud, but it seemed there was more to it.

After Bernard had a talk with Blake in the study, he seemed to have fallen into despair. He hesitated even when touching her, overcoming difficulty to do so. The old Bernard never hesitated when touching her.

Now just mentioning his birth mother, he immediately left her, as if he dared not touch her anymore...

All these signs made Eleanor wonder: could they be siblings?

Eleanor thought of this because she once told Bernard that she would never leave him for any reason unless they were siblings.

At that time, Bernard's body stiffened noticeably, as if he had been hit right on the spot. He subconsciously averted his gaze, not daring to look at her.

When Eleanor connected all these doubts, she turned to look at Bernard, who was avoiding her gaze. His eyes were hiding complex emotions.
