Chapter 680 tallic smell and almost buckled at the knees, but she steeled herself, pushed past the Even though the door was only slightly opened the strong smell of blood still permeated out. Eleanor got one doctor and quickly entered Aidyn and Caleb were cleaning up the blood on the floor and when they saw Eleanor barging in the two stopped in fright âM: Shultz?â
She didnât leave?
Eleanors bright eyes moved past the blood on the floor and focused on the man lying in bed, airenity deep sleep His strong sturdy back had been cleaned treated with medicine, but left unwapped, and the dense knife wounds could be seen at a glance. The sheets underneath him, perhaps not yet changed, were soaked in blood dripping onto the floor Seeing the usually cold aloot, and untouchable man now weak ke a child, Eleanor panicked.
She staggered to the bedside, squatted down, and reached out a shaking hand wanting to much those wounds but fearing she might cause him pain After some tentative a strokes, she placed her hand on his perfectly sculpted arm, ever so lightly touching him Feeling the touch. Bernard woke up and instinctively grabbed her hand, even though he was still half asleep âBernard itâs meâ
His eyes were foggy, but his ears were sharp. Hearing her voice, he immediately let go His gaze was as cold as a hawks but softened considerably when he focused on her âYou didnât leave?â
Eleanor saw his eyes open, and tears instantly fell âHow could leave when youâre hurt like this?â
Bernard saw her tearâstreaked face and sighed gently He hadnt wanted to worry her, which was why he hadnât told her Yet shed still found out The man bore the pain, reached out and gently caressed her face âHey donât cryâ
The one hurt was him, yet he was the one comforting her. This only made Eleanor cry more.
Seeing the wounds on his back, she couldnât imagine what heâd gone through, but she could imagine the pain he was in That pain made her so heartbroken that she dared not even touch him, afraid that she might hurt him.
âIs it painful Her sobbing voice was nasal, making Bernardâs heart acheânot from his wounds, but from seeing her cry âTve taken painkillers. It doesnât hurt anymore, donât worryâ
The pain was indeed unbearable when he was on his way back to Laurence Manor. The doctor had treated his wounds, and the pain had reduced.
Besides, heâd grown up getting injured and enduring pain, how could he not handle this?
It was precisely because he was too strong, too indifferent to his own life, that Eleanor worned so much She tightly held his hand, crying. âYouâre such an idiot, risking your life for me over and over againâ
Everyone said that Bernard loved her, loved her enough to risk his life for her. And it was indeed true But she didnât want Bernard to love her this much because the was terrified he might one day truly give up his life for her.
Seeing her cry, so hard, Bernard was at a loss. All he could do was wipe away her tears.
âEleanor donât cry, my injures have nothing to do with you. There was some issue within the companyâ
Eleanor looked at him with tearâfilled eyes.
âDiant Casey hurt you?â
âHow could he hurt me?â
The man scoffed recalling something unpleasant, his eyes suddenly cold and wild A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
ï¤Chapter 679 Seeing his eyes full of murderous intent, Eleanor quickly asked who had hurt him, but Bernard didnât tell her, wanting to protect her He didnât want to talk and Eleanor didnât want to push, but the horrifying knife wounds still made her heart ache.
âHow can there be such cruel people in the world, using a knife to cut your back over and over again?â
No. Bernard was so powerful, how could anyone get close to him? Unless he let them.
Eleanor was frightened by her own thought, but also thought it might be possible.
She looked up, her eyes swollen and red at the silent Bernard âBernard, tell me, did you run into some trouble?â
Seeing her overthinking. Bernard quickly reassured her *Theres nothing that could trouble me You donât need to worry I can handle itâ
Eleanor looked at him, and after a while she felt he wasnt lying She then grabbed his hand again, placing it over her heart âBernard, can you take better care of yourself from now on?â
Regardless of who had hurt him turd time if only he cared more about himself he wouldnât have to risk his life for her The man responded firmly cant Youll always be my number oneâ
in other words, she waymore important than himself and Eleanor was both moved and helpless âYou are like this, how should repay youâ The man didnât want to see her cry anymore, his tone playfully lightened, âWait till I recover, let me love you a few more times.â
