Chapter 1066
Yeager candidly confessed his ambition, which brought a slight smile to Bernard’s face.
“You may be keen on bagging that medical award, but I’m afraid the more you want it, the less likely I’ll let you have it.”
Hearing such ruthless words, Yeager turned red in the face.
“Why?”
Bernard twirled a small knife in his hand under the sunlight, the blade reflecting a blinding light.
“Because your life and future are in my hands.”
The reflected light from the blade made Yeager instinctively close his eyes.
In the moment he closed his eyes. Yeager felt a cut on his wrist.
When he opened his eyes, he saw bright red blood seeping from his skin…..
The man who had hurt him didn’t even blink at the sight of the blood, as if life meant nothing to him.
Yeager couldn’t believe it. He thought Bernard was just trying to intimidate him, but he was shocked when Bernard actually harmed him. Fear gripped him, and his face turned pale..
Jess was also terrified and tried to back away, but the bodyguard at the door blocked her path, pushing her back.
Aidyn handed a wet wipe to Bernard, who casually cleaned the blade in front of Yeager. The sight sent shivers down Yeager’s spine.
“Dr. Yeager, I’m not a patient man. If you don’t tell me what I want to know, I’ll keep hurting you,” Bernard coldly threatened.
The pain in his wrist made Yeager realize that Bernard wasn’t making empty threats. He could tell that this man was not only cunning but also fearless. Yeager had misjudged him, never expecting him to be so ruthless.
Desperate to escape the situation, Yeager asked, “If I tell you, will you let me go back to my country?”
Bernard let out a cold laugh but nodded nonchalantly, leaving Yeager unsure of what to do next as he stared at his bleeding wrist.
Bernard was losing his patience. He pointed the tip of his knife towards Yeager’s wrist, ready to cut open his veins. Yeager immediately begged for
mercy
“Don’t cut my tendons, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything…”
His hand was needed for surgeries, it couldn’t be ruined!
Seeing Yeager back down, Bernard withdrew his hand and slowly stood up.
Yeager held onto his right wrist and looked up at the man towering over him.
“When the director told me I should win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, I had an idea. I had a patient who urgently needed surgery, he had conflicts with me before, so I used the excuse that I was injured and couldn’t operate, asking him to help me.
Before the surgery, I checked the patient’s condition and deliberately concealed the fact that the patient had a vascular problem. He trusted me too much and didn’t check again. During the surgery, I intentionally stopped him from handling the blood vessels to remove suspicion from myself…I had everything planned out, even the coroner was in my pocket, but I didn’t expect Bernard and Liana to suspect me.”
Hearing this, Liana’s eyes filled with tears..
Just because of Yeager’s personal reasons, Will’s reputation was ruined.
Yet Yeager was still looking forward to winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine!
Liana angrily rushed forward to scold Yeager, but Bernard stopped her.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
