Chapter 259 Cedric used to worry the most about Bernard falling for Eleanor.
After a few tests and finding out Bernard didnât love her, he stopped worrying about it.
But who would have thought that after Eleanorâs death, Bernard would try to cut his wrists and overdose on pills for her sake?
Now heâs just been saved, and the moment he woke up, he pulled out the IV and went home to drink like thereâs no tomorrow. He really didnât care about his health anymore Bernard didnât even hear what Cedric said, and gestured with his bony fingers: âgive it to me.â
Cedric held the bottle tight: âIf you keep drinking like this, youâll be dead in no time. No more drinking.â
Bernard suddenly laughed coldly: âI didnât want to live in the first place.â
Cedricâs expression froze, and he thought of Bernard almost being tortured to death by Donna Laurence-Stanley when he was a kid. He couldnât help but sigh If it wasnât for the Laurence family, Bernard wouldâve probably left this world a long time ago...
He released his grip on the bottle and handed it to Bernard: âdonât drink too much.â
After pouring the wine, Bernard held the glass and stared at the red liquid, asking Cedric, âWhy is the wine bitter?â
Cedric glanced at him and said solemnly. âBernard, itâs because your heart is bitter that you feel the wine is bitter.â
Bernard smiled bitterly: âSo thatâs how it is...â
Cedric saw the once cold-hearted man became like this for a woman, and his felt suffocated for him.
âBernard, the dead cannot come back to life, stop doing this to yourself.â
Bernard didnât respond, just tilted his head back and continued to drink the red wine.
Just as Cedric was about to offer more advice, Aidyn walked in from outside.
âMr. Laurence, I found out the truth. Ms. Shultz.â
Aidyn didnât expect Cedric to be here, and suddenly stopped talking.
But Bernard didnât care and motioned for him to continue.
Aidyn then put a pile of documents on the bar counter.
âMr. Laurence, you were right. Ethan bribed the crematorium staff and secretly took Ms. Shultz awayâ
âHe did this because Ms. Shultzâs older sister, Emilia, left a dying wish to give her heart to Ms. Shultz. Thatâs when Ethan rushed to the crematorium and took Ms. Shultz awayâ
âI also found out that it was George who performed the heart transplant surgery for Ms. Shultz...â
Aidyn briefly explained the situation and then recounted the details.
After listening, Cedric was a bit dumbfounded: âSo Eleanorâs not dead?â
Aidyn didnât shy away and nodded at him: âNot only is she not dead, sheâs returned to her home country under her sisterâs identity.â
Cedric held his forehead with one hand, annoyed that Bernard knew Eleanor was alive all along but didnât tell him, causing him to waste his breath offering advice.

Bernard had already guessed this outcome but didnât expect George to be the one to save Eleanor Seeing his confusion, Aidyn quickly explained, âDr. George and Ethan are old friends.â
Bernard nodded after understanding and asked indifferently, âWhy did they get married?â
Aidyn respectfully replied, âEthan married Ms. Shultz for Emiliaâs heart. As for why Ms. Shultz agreed to marry Ethan, itâs because...â
Aidyn hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued, âMs. Shultz learned that Jason Clowers committed suicide out of love and refused to believe it. She wanted to return to find Jason, but Ethan proposed a condition â for her to marry him, or else she couldnât go back. So she agreed â
Bernardâs finger flipping through the documents suddenly stopped, and his handsome face turned pale.
She was willing to marry someone else just to come back and see Garett She really loved Garett...
And to her, he was... nothing
