A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181
When Hailey thought about Eleanor saying not to blame him, she didn’t say anything more and turned to fetch water, leaving him alone.
Jason stood at the door, looking at the frail, petite figure on the bed, with mist gradually filling his eyes.
He tried to steady his shaking body, clenched his fists, and took heavy steps towards the bed.
Eleanor, who couldn’t see, felt someone approaching and thought Hailey was back, so she reached out for her clothes
“Hailey..”
Before she could grab the clothes, her hand was caught by another larger hand.
The hand that gripped her tightly was trembling slightly, as if there were so many words for him to say, but he couldn’t find the words, so it just held her hand tightly
Eleanor realized that it was a man’s hand, and Bernard’s handsome face flashed in her mind, but she didnt think it could be him.
She tried calling out, “Garett.
Jason didn’t expect that she could recognize him, and after recognizing him, she didn’t shake off his hand.
This made him feel even more guilty and pained. He squeezed her hand tightly and sat down next to the bed.
He didn’t speak, touching Eleanor’s cheek
Eleanor didn’t push him away, letting him touch her with a calm heart.
After a few minutes, Jason finally spoke with a h oar se voice, “Eleanor.”
He gently called her name as if calling out to a loved one, full of tenderness and reluctance.
“Hmm.”
Eleanor responded, then asked softly. Why did you come back?”
Jason forced a bitter smile, For some reason, I was worried, so I came back to check on you.
He had been feeling restless lately his heart pounding as if something had happened, so he couldnt help but come back to look for her
He had waited at her apartment all night, but no one answered the door, He called her and Hailey, but no one picked up the phone, so he had to go to Liana to find out she was in the hospital.
He was glad he came, or he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, her illness was his doing
Holding her hand. he placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, ‘Eleanor, I’m sorry..
Before he came in, Eleanor had guessed that he had heard her conversation with Haley.
Now facing his apclogy, she had no feelings left for it. Maybe being close to death made her let go of a lot.
She used to be unable to let go of anything, but now she felt that life was short and should be enjoyed in time.
With a slight smie, she comforted him, “I had a heart condition, to begin with don’t blame yourself..
Jason shock his head and, with quilt in his eyes, “Eleanor, I wil make it up to you.”
Hearing such a solemn promise, Eleanor frowned slightly.
Jason always kept his word, and if he promised to make it up for her, he would
Although she didn’t know what he would do for her, nure of that really mattered to her now.
She tried her best to squeeze his hand gently, “Garett, all you need to do is stay healthy, and thatll be the best way to make it up to me!
Jason shook his head, his eyes flashing with stubborn determination, as if he had made some sort of decision but didn’t want to tell her.
Eleanor didn’t have the energy to worry about his thoughts anymore, her dim eyes blurred as she looked at him.
“Garett, I cant see you clearly anymore.”
“But in my memory, you’ve always been the purest boy”
“I will remember you at your best, and will you remember me at my most beautiful?”
Jason, with tears in his eyes and a choke in his voice, said, “I will”
Eleanor smiled, still with grace and serenity. ‘Can you go back to B Clly then? I don’t want you to see me after I’ve passed.”
