Chapter 390 âLuckily, the bleeding isnât bad and the situation isnât too grim. Well try some meds first if things go south, we might need to do surgeryâ
The hospitals dean put the Xâray in his hands, turning to look at Bernard, who was halfâsitting on the bed. Seeing that his mouth was no longer bloody, he let out a sigh of relief Thank god the bleeding stopped in time and there was no infection. If something happened to this bigâshot Investor in his hospital the Laurence family might have his head. Eleanor, who was standing by the bed, felt her tense body gradually relax at hearing the deanâs words âIs there anything he needs to be careful about during his stay?â
âHeâs gotta watch his diet and rest. No heavy exercise.â
Eleanor took note of this, then turned towards the doctor who was bandaging Bernardâs arm.
âHowâs his arm?â
âJust a scrape with some bleeding. Didnât hit the bone, so no biggieâ
Eleanor exhaled again, her eyes meeting Bernardâs, who was staring at her.
They locked eyes for a moment, then Bernard gently squeezed her hand, âEleanor, donât sweat it. After I pushed you, I managed to dodge.â
He still got hit, but luckily it wasnât life threatening Eleanor looked at him with her beautiful eyes, remained silent for a moment, then gently nodded.
After taking his meds, Bernard started to feel a bit tired â
Seeing him dozing off, Eleanor wanted to get up and prepare some stuff for his stay, but he held her hand tightly She tried to pull her hand away, but his brows knitted together instantly He seemed to fear she would leave, even under the influence of the meds and in deep sleep, he didnât want to let go. Seeing Bernard like this, Eleanorâs heart started to open up.
She couldnât help but reach out, gently touching his handsome face.
âBernard Eleanor murmured, then let out a sigh Turned out, she still couldnât forget that name.
She sat by the bed, watching him quietly, reminiscing about the past It seemed like she could feel his hidden love from those memories Time ticked by until dawn, and the man on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the woman sleeping quietly by the bed, he felt a warmth in his heart, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Afraid she was uncomfortable, he bore the pain, sat up, brought her onto the bed, and held her in his arms Eleanor woke up, looking at his face, which was a bit sickly but still handsome She wanted to say something, but Bernard put her head against his chest, whispering, âEleanor, sleep with me a bit longer.â
His voice was a bit hoarse, but more magnetic than usual Eleanor obediently relaxed in his arms Only then did Eleanor notice the gunshot wound near his heart under his open collar.
The wound had healed, but it was still evident that it had once been pierced by a bullet.
She reached out and touched the scar. This is...â

Bernard looked down, following her finger, then covered it up again, casually saying âItâs nothingâ
Eleanor remembered Garett once said, Bernard got seriously injured while saving him. Was this wound from that time?
She slowly looked up at the man holding her. He pretended to sleep, but her heart ached slightly Her hand, which had been nervously at her side, suddenly wrapped around his strong waist.
This move made Bernard stiffen When his eyes slowly opened, they were full of confusion.
Was she being forward because she was grateful he saved Garett, or was she taking the initiative because she pitied ham?
Bernard didnât dare to ask. Because whenever she had to choose between him and Garett, she never chose him.
