A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 

Eleanor smiled, feeling a bit silly. What did their wedding have to do with her? 

Seeing her bitter smile, Jason furrowed his brows slightly. 

“What’s wrong?” 

Eleanor shook her head, not answering, but her eyes were filled with sadness 

Jason thought she was bothered by what Cedric said and quickly reassured, “Don’t worry about Cedric’s words. He’s just targeting me because I called off the marriage with his sister and embarrassed him. It has nothing to do with you.” 

Eleanor nodded. No one would care about her feelings anyway. 

Seeing the desperation in her eyes, Jason’s frown deepened. “You look very upset. Did something happen?” 

Is it that obvious? 

Eleanor touched her stiff face, which was cold and without any warmth. 

She must look terrifying, right? 

Eleanor forced a smile, “Nothing’s wrong. I just don’t feel well.” 

Jason somewhat believed her excuse, “Is it your leg bothering you?” 

She couldn’t walk, so it must be the problem with her leg. 

However, when he was carrying her earlier, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual. 

Eleanor nodded, “My leg is a bit swollen. It might be due to varicose veins.” 

She was wary of Jason, unsure if he was truly amnesiac or just pretending, so she chose to hide the truth for now. 

Though Jason knew the symptoms of varicose veins wouldn’t normally impair walking, he didn’t dare ask more. The last time he inquired about her condition at the villa, she had gotten angry. It was better not to provoke her again. 

Jason didn’t press further, but he was concerned about her well–being, “Let Tyler check you out. He’s a terrific doctor, and I’m sure he can fix any issues you have.” 

Eleanor’s smile grew more bitter, “No need.” 

It’s almost time for her to die, so what’s the point of wasting medical resources? 

“You…” 

Jason wanted to persuade her further, but Eleanor turned to look out the window, seemingly refusing to continue the conversation. He had no choice but to shut up. 

Soon, they arrived at Eleanor’s neighborhood, and Jason parked the car, carried her upstairs. 

Eleanor wasn’t eager to let him know where she lived, but there was no choice under the circumstances. 

After unlocking the door, Jason carried her inside. 

“Put me on the couch.” 

Jason nodded, walked to the couch, and gently put her down. 

After sitting up straight, Eleanor looked at Jason. Thank you” 

Although she expressed her gratitude, it was evident that she was implying he could leave. 

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Jason remained gentle, “Take a few days to rest at home. You don’t have to stay with me for now.” 

He then turned to leave. 

As he passed the dining room, he noticed a picture on the wine cabinet. 

It was a photo of her and Hailey, both looking young and naive. 

He stopped and picked up the photo, realizing it had been cropped. 

It should have been a picture of three people, but the person next to Eleanor was cut out. 

He subconsciously thought that person was himself, and once that idea emerged, he felt disoriented. 

Seeing him holding their old photo, Eleanor hurriedly said, “Mr. Clowers, have you asked for my permission before looking at the photo?”
