Chapter 127
As soon as she finished speaking, Bernard’s face turned cold.
“Stop rejecting me, I told you I’ll cure you‘
His face was serious as he covered her with the blanket and then picked up the report, sitting down next to her.
His eyelashes drooped, covering those charming eyes, making it difficult to see what emotions were hidden beneath.
His furrowed eyebrows seemed to reveal a hint of uneasiness, but it was very faint and hard to notice without a closer look.
He was always good at controlling his emotions, so Eleanor didn’t know what he was thinking and stopped guessing, just lying quietly.
They rarely spent time together peacefully like this. In the past five years, he had never accompanied her in this way.
Sometimes, Eleanor wondered what role she played in Bernard’s heart.
If she was just a substitute, why did he always come looking for her after they broke up?
This time, he even snatched her away from Jason in public.
Did he really do it because he was controlling, or was it because… he actually kind of liked her?
She didn’t dare to bring up the word love. For someone like Bernard, it was absolutely impossible for him to fall in love easily.
As she was lost in thought, her phone’s vibration interrupted her.
Bernard took out his private phone and glanced at the caller ID before answering.
“Mr. Laurence.”
“Surveillance has been dealt with, and Ms. Shultz’s presence will not be discovered by anyone else,” said Aidyn politely from the other end of the line. “Also, after you took Ms. Shultz away yesterday, Jason fainted on the spot. I had no choice but to send him to the city hospital.”
Bernard asked indifferently, “Is he awake?”
Aidyn replied, “He just woke up and has been asking to see Ms. Shultz. What do you think…?”
Bernard coldly interrupted him, “No.”
Aidyn hesitated a bit, “After all, he is the president of the Clowers Group. Now, his people are constantly looking for me to get him back. I can’t have someone watching him all the time…”
What Aidyn meant was that he could withstand pressure temporarily, but not continuously.
Bernard thought for a few seconds with a stern face, and finally said, “Let him go.”
Then he hung up the phone and looked at Eleanor, who was watching him.
Seeing the caller as Aidyn, she didn’t bother asking.
As long as he was willing to let Jason go, she could go thank Jason after her body recovered.
Bernard stared at the IV bag until it was empty before helping her remove the needle.
Eleanor glanced at the three bottles of fluids next to her, which meant that the IV infusion was supposed to continue.
But Bernard had removed the needle for her, didn’t he want her to continue the infusion?

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...
