Chapter 1330
“Go to hell! If you dare to implant that chip in my brain, I swear to God, I’ll make you regret it!”
1-2 banged furiously on the chamber door, cursing Bernard, who just stood there, his face expressionless.
Once the machine had released his head, Bernard finally turned away. He walked over to the chamber holding the chips, picked one out at random, and then returned to the surgical chamber. He accepted the scalpel handed to him from inside the chamber and then, with deliberate nonchalance, put on a pair of gloves.
He took a seat behind 1-2, whose head was now exposed and still cursing him. Bernard didn’t say anything. He just raised his hand and slowly removed 1-2’s full-face mask.
It was only then, with the mask off, that Bernard saw 1-2’s true face. He had run through countless possibilities, but he never thought it would be him.
Kermit Hyde, father of Teresa Hyde-
“Before you crack open my skull,” he spat, “tell me, which member of Siren Organization was it that caused my daughter’s death!”
יון.
When he received the news of Teresa’s death, he was dealing with something for Area Opaca. He left Area Opaca behind, he just sped off to find his daughter. What he found there was his daughter’s body, her organs were harvested.
That was his only daughter, inexplicably dead at the hands of Siren Organization. Even after a long investigation, he could only find out that it was Siren Organization who did it. But who exactly was responsible?!
He despised Siren Organization. When Sophie told him that Berhard was the leader of Siren Organization, infiltrating Area Opaca with the intent to destroy it, he wanted to tear him apart!
“My daughter was a doctor, but her fingers were severed, and she died like that. Tell me, who did it, so that I can die knowing!”
Bernard’s fingers, holding the scalpel, hesitated. He hesitated. After all, Kermit’s words had reminded him of the concept of karma. Although it was Gianna who sent Teresa away, her death was tied to him in more ways than one.
If they were to talk about karma, it was Teresa who first sowed the seeds that led to her death.
And him, having his skull cracked open by Teresa’s father, it seemed like a consequence of his harsh actions.
Now, because his mind was being controlled, indirectly causing Eleanor’s death, it seemed like he was creating another cause.
So, the consequence of this operation, it was justified, wasn’t it?
Bernard was a bit confused, but he never cared about karma when he did things. Especially now, when his mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, there was no room for rationality.
His hesitation was brief. He tightened his grip on the scalpel and cut open Kermit’s skull.
He too had been cut open like this, unconscious for over ten days, only regaining consciousness just before Eleanor’s arrival.
To perform a brain surgery without anesthesia was a fate worse than death. Bernard could bear it, but 1-2 couldn’t.
“Bernard, you’ll pay for this,” he seethed. No one had ever dared to cut into his brain before. Once he recovered, he was determined to make Bernard pay.
Bernard gave no reaction, just continued emotionlessly, using the same method Kermit had used to cut into his own head, making one incision after another…
Once he had finished, he picked up a tissue and wiped away the blood that was flowing freely. Then, with a pair of tweezers, he picked up the chip he had set aside earlier, placed it into Kermit’s brain, and then, like a true surgeon, he tilted his head lik

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...
