A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273
In a red dress and short hair, the breeze revealed a stunningly beautiful face..
It was the face he had etched into his memory, the one he had envisioned in countless dreams. Despite any alterations in her appearance, her face remained unaltered, just as he had always known it.
Bathed in light, he stared at her from across the sea of flowers, not daring to move an inch, only able to gaze from afar….
She had appeared like this many times before, but every time he ran towards her, she disappeared.
The person in front of him was probably just another illusion. Since he couldn’t hold onto her, he decided not to disturb her and let her stay a little longer… “Garett…
That gentle, peaceful voice called out to him again, making everything feel so unreal….
It wasn’t until he saw her slowly step down from the stairs, cross the sea of flowers, and come to stand before him that he finally reacted.
The book in Garett’s hand suddenly dropped to the ground. He incredulously looked up at the person in front of him.
“You…”
His voice was deep and h***e, as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time.
Eleanor’s eyes were red as she looked him up and down….
Her countenance was strikingly handsome, with refined and gentle features, and her eyes carried a profound sense of melancholy.
Only when they reflected her image did a glimmer of brightness appear in those eyes….
He was dressed in a white shirt and black suit pants, looking as gentle and refined as ever.
But his legs hung limply in the wheelchair, as if they would never stand again….
Eleanor slowly squatted down and touched his leg. “Garett, what happened to your leg?”
He still stared at her in disbelief, “You…. are you my Eleanor?”
Eleanor looked up and met the gaze of the man staring at her, “Garett, I am your Eleanor. I’ve come back…*
Hearing that clear and powerful voice, Garett began to cry.
Only when he touched Eleanor’s warm skin did he dare to believe she was real.
He took several deep breaths, but couldn’t control his emotions, “Why… did it take you so long to come back?”
His trembling voice made Eleanor’s tears fall, Tm sorry, Garett. I was late.”
He gently shook his head, wiping the tears from her face, “Don’t cry…
He was still as gentle with her as he was when they were young, as if nothing else mattered but her well-being.
As Eleanor’s heart grew heavier, the weight of past memories burdened her, causing her to seek solace in his embrace, where tears flowed freely.
Garett raised his hand and gently patted her back, his silent tears falling alongside hers…
The girl he had missed for three years had returned on a sunny, breezy day filled with the scent of flowers.
With a hopeless belief, he sat here every day waiting for her….
Because when he once said he would commit suicide at her grave, she had answered him.
She said, “Garett, if I leave this world before you, don’t do anything foolish. Find a place full of flowers and sit there, waiting for me. No matter how time changes, one day, I will reappear in front of you”
He knew she was just giving him a reason to live, but he never expected her to keep her promise and appear before him again.
