Chapter 172
Hailey, Hailey…
She faintly heard the sound of Hailey crying, which tugged at her heart and made it impossible for her to keep going.
She stood in the mist, slowly turning around, only to see Hailey running toward her.
“Eleanor, don’t leave, come back, I have so many things to tell you…”
She tried to respond to Hailey but found that she couldn’t speak.
Fresh oxygen entered, easing her suffocated heart a little.
Gradually, the fog disappeared, and Hailey was gone, leaving her completely unconscious…
“Dr. Terrill, her heartbeat is back!”
“Hurry up, keep giving her oxygen!”
Liana saw the erratic data on the electrocardiogram and suddenly felt weak.
This was the first time she had been so nervous about a patient, fearing that she would just pass away.
Her hands were still trembling, and she had no strength to even lift them.
“How’s the injury on the back of her head?”
A doctor had just stopped the bleeding from the wound and noticed Dr. Terrill’s panicked expression, knowing that this patient was essential to her.
“The bleeding has stopped, and we just need to remove the nail once we’re at the hospital.”
The doctor added, “Fortunately, the nail wasn’t long enough to damage any blood vessels or nerves, or she would have been brain dead by now.”
Liana nodded in understanding, reached out to touch Eleanor’s hand, which had been as cold as ice but was now slowly warming up.
The hospital was not far from where the accident happened. She arrived in time, just within the golden period of rescue, or Eleanor would have been beyond saving.
But after all this turmoil, she feared Eleanor might not even make it for two months…
As she was staring at Elean
“How’s she doing?”
in sorrow, Bernard’s call came in.
Bernard’s indifferent voice came from phone, sounding like a routine inquiry, making Liana feel he didn’t care about Eleanor at all.
“She…”
Liana glanced at the barely rescued Eleanor and gritted her teeth, “She lost a lot of blood and is unconscious. She’ll be fine after some rest.”
Just now, Bernard had texted her, telling her that it was his sister, fiancée, and himself who had beaten Ms. Shultz.
They had been so brutal, leaving her in such a terrible state. Why should she go against Eleanor’s wishes and let him know what happened to her?
Liana had always respected Bernard, but at this moment, she had some complaints against him. Why did he have to beat Eleanor? Why did he have to beat a woman?
It seemed as if she felt the injustice on Eleanor’s behalf!
There was a moment of silence on the phone before he said in a low voice, “Please take good care of her for me.”
Hearing that, Liana frowned, not understanding what Bernard meant before he hung up the phone.
Just as the ambulance arrived at the emergency entrance, she didn’t have time to think it over and quickly got off the car to push Eleanor into the emergency room.
The nail on the back of her head needed to be removed immediately, so Liana hurriedly changed into a sterile gown to perform the surgery herself.

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...
