Chapter 252
He slowly turned his head, looking at the slender and delicate figure standing under the streetlight.
This person he’d been missing for so long. just a gentle call of his name would make him drop everything, rush up and hug her tightly in his arms.
But as soon as he took a step forward, she took three steps back.
Don’t come.”
She was very calm, not showing much emotion on her face.
“I’ve said everything I wanted to say. Please don’t bother me again.”
He thought she had stopped him because she wanted to keep him. Unexpectedly, she asked him not to pester her anymore.
Bernard’s handsome face turned pale, and the dull pain throughout his body made it difficult for him to breathe
But she didn’t care about his feelings, and after she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the villa.
Watching her determinedly walk away, Bernard’s tall and straight body began to falter.
Aidyn Reyes had been waiting at a distance, and seeing his unsteady state, he quickly rushed over to support him.
“Mr. Laurence, are you okay?”
Bernard didn’t respond. The heart-wrenching pain made his head ache terribly.
He leaned against the car door and looked sideways at Aidyn: “Give me some medicine…”
Aidyn hesitated for a moment and shook his head at him: “Mr. Laurence, you can’t take that medicine anymore. Your body won’t be able to take it.”
Bernard raised his eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, and stared at Aidyn fiercely: “If I don’t take the medicine, what should I do…”
Who could tell him what to do? Eleanor had almost carved herself into his memory. How could he forget her?
“Mr. Laurence…
Aidyn didn’t know what to say to console him.
He’d seen how Mr. Laurence had endured these three years.
He didn’t want to see Mr. Laurence rely on taking medicine to get through life, but he couldn’t bear to see him continue to suffer.
After a moment of contemplation, Aidyn looked up at Bernard and said, “Mr. Laurence, there must be some misunderstanding between you two. I’ll go clarify with Ms. Shultz.”
Aidyn turned and made to walk towards the villa, but Bernard’s cold voice rang out from behind him: “No need.”
Aidyn turned his head and asked with puzzlement: “Why?”
Bernard did not answer, gradually lowering his head.
She didn’t love him, so even if she knew the truth, she wouldn’t care.
He opened the car door, sat in, and those eyes that once shone like stars were now dull and dim.
The light that once entered his life left without hesitation. Once he thought there was no hope left, the light returned.
He reached out, trying to grasp it tightly, but couldn’t hold on since that light never belonged to him in the first place.
He took out a pill from the car, put it in his mouth, and as he swallowed it, the bitterness in his mouth intensified, making him frown.
“Aidyn, the medicine is really bitter.”
“Mr. Laurence, medicine has always been bitter.”
Aidyn sighed after replying.
“Mr. Laurence, don’t worry, whether Ms. Shultz has ever loved you or not, she’s already married now”
It seems like it just wasn’t meant to be between you two. Why force it?
“Ha-married “Bernard suddenly sneered. “She just married Ethan Ziegler as a replacement for Emilia.”
Aidyn was taken aback, not quite understanding.
Bernard took a cigarette out of the box and lit it.
After taking a gentle puff, he placed his slender finger out of the car window.
He slowly raised his reddened eyes, looking at the brightly lit villa
When she was unwilling to admit that she was Eleanor, she kept emphasizing that she was Emilia
That meant that now, she was using Emilia’s identity and had married Ethan as Emilia.
She loved Garett Falsey so much that she would never easily marry someone else. There must be some hidden reason behind it.

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...
