Chapter 1101
Garett’s face stiffened. “My legs, my depression, they’re my own problems and have nothing to do with her. I need to explain this to her…”
Just as he tried to wheel away. Sigrid quickly stretched out a foot to block his wheelchair. Garett Turned around to see Sigrid, standing tall and raising an eyebrow. “You…”
Sigrid, hands crossed over her chest stopped him coldly “Ever heard this, Jason? Even if I didn’t hurt someone directly, if they get hurt because of me, I’m still responsible. Eleanor is that kind of person Regardless of what you say, she’ll always shoulder the blame Because you gave her way too much
You gave so much that she can never repay in this lifetime. She can only live with this guilt, with my brother. Every time they mention you, there’s an insurmountable barrier Only when you truly let go of the past can she finally lay down this burden”
Garelt got it and smiled weakly “I dragged her down.”
Sigrid shook her head “That’s not what I mean. What I mean is… if you truly care about her, then go all out. Your leg injury and depression are causes for her guilt. If you could heal your legs, stand again, conquer your depression, when you’re healthy again, she can finally let go…”
Garett turned his head, looking through the living room corridor at Eleanor sitting quietly, sipping coffee on the couch. Gentle light filtered in from the window, casting a golden glow on her
The sight reminded him of when they first met. She was always so sweet and peaceful, like a clear stream flowing in his heart….
From a young age, she was kind and friendly to everyone, too gentle and obedient. She would show affection to ahyone who liked her, even give all she had
She craved love and knew how to be grateful. If not for her kindness and loyalty, how could she forgive him after such hurt? If only he hadn’t come too late, with her kindness, he might still have a chance to win her love back.
Such a kind person, how could she not feel guilty for his problems? Even if she didn’t cause his leg injury and depression, she’d still shoulder all the blame because of their past connection. It was his fixation on the past that kept her living in guilt.
Garett’s gaze fell on his own legs. It was her guilt that made her find Bernard to treat his leg injury. But because of his depression, he didn’t want to accept treatment. Was it only when he could stand again that she could find peace?
Sigrid wasn’t sure what he was thinking at the moment. She just loosened her high heel stuck in the wheel, retracted her foot, sat up straight and said, “Jason, we’re here in this world for all sons of hardships and sorrows, including love and hate. There’s no difficulty we can’t overcome. You can see this as a test of life. If you can overcome it, that’s success, and next time we meet, we can smile at each other. If you can’t, let me stay with you, face the past pain and guilt together. If you choose to overcome the difficulties. Ill stick around to help. you choose to live the rest of your life with your disease, I’ll leave now Just make your decision.”
Sigrid handed the decision to Garett with these words. But she didn’t know that he had already made his choice for Eleanor. “You’re not a depression expert, not a psychologist, nor a doctor for leg injuries. If you stay, how could you help me?”
Seeing his melancholic look, Sigrid pulled out her rehabilitation therapist certificate, psychologist certificate, and a bunch of other credentials from her bag. She handed them to Garett “I’ve helped people who lost sensation in their legs to stand again. I believe that as long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can help you, too. Just remember, we almost got married once, so I hope you won’t feel too awkward when we’re alone.”
If she hadn’t brought it up, Garett would have completely forgotten about it. “That was a decision made by the elders, nothing to do with me.”
He would never marry anyone in this lifetime. Even if he recovered from his leg injury and depression, he would only stay in B City.

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...
