A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121 

Eleanor shook her head. Her back injury wasn’t as severe as the bleeding wound on the back of his head. 

“You’re pretty banged up, let’s go to the hospital.” 

Eleanor’s hands were covered in his blood, the bright red color reminded her of the night when he got hit by a car five years ago. 

This only made her feel more guilty – both times, he got severely injured trying to save her. She couldn’t understand why Jason was so protective of her. 

“Alright” 

Jason nodded, and as he carried her through the banquet hall, a few bodyguards saw them and immediately surrounded them. 

Seeing how injured Jason was, the bodyguards were extremely guilty for not being able to protect him and kept apologizing. 

Jason, however, didn’t care. He instructed them to take Josef to the police station before quickly heading toward the hotel lobby. 

Eleanor wasn’t dressed, but luckily, Jason’s coat was large enough to cover her tiny frame. 

However, she still felt a bit embarrassed and afraid that people coming in and out of the hotel would see her, so she buried her head deep in Jason’s chest. 

As she hid in his arms, a group of bodyguards suddenly entered the hotel lobby, blocking their way. There were probably over twenty of them. 

Jason immediately stopped and looked towards the hotel entrance there was a man getting out of a Lincoln limousine. 

The man wore a black suit with a black coat, and under the dim lights, he looked like a statue. 

He stood there, staring at them with cold eyes. 

“Mr. Clowers.” 

Hearing that familiar voice, Eleanor’s face turned pale. 

She didn’t have time to think about why Bernard would be here, she just buried her head deeper in Jason’s chest. 

She thought that by doing so, he wouldn’t see her, but those cold eyes were still staring at her relentlessly. 

Jason could naturally feel Bernard’s hostility, but didn’t know where it was coming from. 

“Mr. Laurence, what do you want?” 

He couldn’t recall ever offending Bernard, so why would he send so many bodyguards to surround them? 

Bernard walked up to them and, as his gaze moved downwards, saw Eleanor’s exposed body. 

His handsome face instantly turned gloomy, and even his eyes were filled with cold light. 

“Hand her over to me.” 

His eyes were fixated on Eleanor, not moving. 

Seeing such a gaze, Jason, being a man as well, understood its meaning. 

He held Eleanor tightly, took a step back, and his eyes revealed a hint of possessiveness. 

“Mr. Laurence, what’s your relationship with her and why do you want me to hand her over to you?” 

Bernard sneered and glanced at Eleanor before saying: 

“Do you want to go with him, or with me?” 

He couldn’t even be bothered to answer Jason’s question, just giving Eleanor the choice. 

Eleanor felt her heart leaping to her throat as those eyes stared at her. 

She thought Bernard’s visit to the hotel was for other reasons and didn’t expect it to be for her.
