A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 

She made a note of the room number and walked towards the flower shop beside the hospital, quickly buying a basket of flowers. 

When she returned, she met Hailey, who had just arrived in a hurry. 

“Eleanor, why are you at the hospital? Is your heart causing you discomfort?” 

Feeling anxious about catching Austin in the act, Hailey stopped worrying about her own issue as soon as she saw Eleanor. Instead, she switched to showing concern for her friend. 

Eleanor felt warmed and reassured by this concern, “I’m fine. Dr. Terrill asked me to pick up some medications, that’s why I’m here.” 

Relieved, Hailey replied, “It’s good that you’re alright, Eleanor.” 

Eleanor handed Hailey the basket of flowers, “Since you’re going to visit your sister–in–law, it’s only natural to bring some flowers.” 

Understanding Eleanor’s intent, Hailey accepted the basket, “Eleanor, you’re always so considerate.” 

Eleanor reached forward to hold Hailey’s arm, offering her support, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you.” 

Holding onto Eleanor, Hailey felt more composed than she had been previously. With her, she could face whatever awaited her behind the door. 

She forced a smile and walked into the hospital room with a basket of flowers. 

“Hubby…” 

Hearing Hailey’s voice, Austin paused from feeding the pregnant woman water, who also seemed taken aback. 

They both quickly recovered, and Austin put down the water bottle, walking towards Hailey. 

“How come you’re here?” 

Hailey gave him a bland look as she noticed he didn’t call her “honey” like he usually does when they meet in public. 

Her gaze turned gloomy as she glanced at the pregnant woman on the bed, who seemed like a romantic rival, making Hailey too disgusted to reply. 

Upon witnessing Sophie’s demeanor, Eleanor swiftly interjected, providing an explanation. “I informed Hailey about the situation. She happened to be nearby, and upon hearing that your sister was unwell, she decided to pay a visit…” 

Eleanor subtly nudged Hailey’s elbow, prompting her to divert her attention from the pregnant woman and offer a warm smile. Hailey then presented a basket of flowers to Austin. 

“By the way, why didn’t you inform me about your sister’s illness? I happen to know a doctor at the State Médical Institute, and if you had informed me earlier, I could have recommended her. Public hospitals are more cost–effective than private ones, so why waste
