Chapter 1096
After waking up from the surgery, Garett’s memory was still intact, but he repeatedly displayed violent behavior towards Eleanor, including choking her and telling her to go away. He even kicked over the carefully cooked soup Eleanor brought to the hospital when she was caring for him. Despite all this, Eleanor remained silent and simply accompanied him.
Eleanor had never planned to give up on Garell, but everything changed when he lost his memory. She believed that if Garett had regained his memory immediately back then and come to her to clear up the misunderstanding, she would have returned to him However, by the time he regained his memory and sought her out to explain, it was already five or six years later, and she had forced herself to stop loving him and moved on
Eleanor knew that Garett had once treated her very well and loved her deeply, sacrificing a lot for her. However, the Eleanor who had moved on could no longer reciprocate that love. She could only be there for him as a family member, caring for him because he was suffering from severe depression.
Yet, he rejected her. Despite that, she would still visit him. Both his legs and his depression were a result of her actions. If she were to turn a blind eye to this, she would be ungrateful and deserve punishment
When Bernard heard that Garett rejected Eleanor, he was surprised. He hadn’t expected Garett to turn her down. However, upon closer thought, he realized it wasn’t so
surprising
Garett was willing to suffer from depression for Eleanor’s sake. How could he use his illness to keep her by his side? His character was always noble…
“His generosity only makes me appear selfish, Bernard remarked.
Eleanor smiled calmly, “You were generous when you agreed to let me accompany him.”
Her words made Bernard feel somewhat ashamed. He had indeed agreed, but seeing Eleanor with Garett triggered jealousy and moodiness
‘Mr Laurence, you seem a bit embarrassed, Eleanor teased
Bernard indeed felt embarrassed, but he didn’t want to admit it. He quickly looked away, trying to change the subject.
“He rejected you. What’s your plan to help him now?”
He didn’t want to watch Garett die, but on this matter, he also felt a bit uneasy, not knowing how to help him.
“After he rejected me, I plan to bring Sigrid to see him. See if Sigrid, as someone who’s also had depression, can help him.”
When Bernard heard this, he nodded. Maybe Sigrid Laurence coming over on her own could really help Garett.
After everything was clear, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of her hand around Bernard’s waist and stroked his cheek.
“Now, can you tell me why you’ve gone pale?”
She had been honest, and she hoped he would be too.
Bernard’s eyelashes drooped, and his gaze was a bit dim, reflecting Eleanor’s worried face. He didn’t want her to worry, so he kept his mouth shut. Seeing him like this, Eleanor’s eyes also darkened.

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...
