A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1473

Seeing Bernard's reluctance to hold the baby, Hailey guessed that perhaps he was blaming the child for Eleanor's condition. Not wanting to force the issue, she decided to let it be.

With tenderness, Hailey lifted the little one and placed him next to Eleanor, then gently took Eleanor's hand and laid it upon the baby's belly. It was as if there was a mystical bond between mother and child, for the moment Eleanor's hand touched him, the baby began to cry...

The sound of the infant's cry seemed to pierce Bernard's heart, and his eyes, despite his efforts, reddened with emotion. His long fingers reached out uncontrollably and rested on the baby's tiny hand...

The baby, who had been wailing inconsolably, felt the touch of Bernard’s hand and gradually ceased crying. Opening his clear, tear-filled eyes wide, he curiously gazed at Bernard while his minuscule fingers clutched Bernard's pinky...

The baby's five little fingers could only grasp Bernard's pinky, but in that instant, Bernard became the baby's whole world. And Bernard, overwhelmed by the moment, covered his eyes with his other hand...

He wept uncontrollably, sobbing and repeatedly asking Eleanor, "When will you wake up? I can't carry on like this if you don't..."

Hailey, standing by, also found herself unable to stop her tears. It had been two months, and Eleanor showed no sign of waking, lying there as still and silent as if she had departed this world...

In the third month, Aidyn and Scott finally found an elderly herbal doctor, Dr. Brown, known for treating those in unresponsive states. However, he was quite aged and had retired abroad. It was only after Aidyn and Scott's relentless search through streets and alleys that they managed to track down his address.

Dr. Brown had long stopped seeing patients and, upon hearing that the patient was the wife of the CEO of the Lawrence Group, he feared he wouldn't be able to help and initially refused.
