A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276
Watching Eleanor leave the villa without hesitation, Garett’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears….
It felt like his heart was being stabbed with a needle, aching so much that he couldn’t breathe. He really wanted to run after her, hold her, and not let her
go.
But his legs didn’t respond at all. How could he deserve to have her stay by his side like this….
He looked up at the setting sun, trying to hold back his tears, but they kept falling down.
Covering his eyes with one hand, he felt the pain deeply when a small figure appeared, blocking the scorching sunlight.
Through the gaps between his fingers, Garett saw Eleanor tilting her head, opening the bottled water in her hand, and offering it to his lips.
“Garett, I saw your lips were dry, so I got some water from Yilia, Can I feed it to you?”
Turns out she didn’t leave…
He was both overjoyed and worried about involving her.
At that moment, he just obediently opened his mouth and let her take care of him.
Seeing him behave, Eleanor smiled slightly and squatted down in front of him again.
“Garett, I know you’re afraid that taking care of you will be too hard for me, so you want to push me away.”
“But when I had a severe heart condition before, you took care of me without ever giving up.”
“Now that you’re injured and can’t move because of me, how could I possibly leave you?”
Eleanor touched his legs and said firmly. “I’ll be with you until you can stand up again. When that time comes, if you think I’m annoying, you can push me away, okay?”
Her love warmed Garett’s heart. “Eleanor, you call me silly, but you’re actually the silliest!”
Eleanor smiled brightly and said, “Mr. Falsey, I think you’re still a bit more silly.”
Before she passed away, she had said some heartless words to him, but he still followed her quietly.
Of course he was silly.
Eleanor looked up at the sky and said softly, “Garett, it’s getting dark. Should I push you inside?”
Garett’s face no longer showed the struggle and conflict, but gradually revealed a happy smile, “Okay”
Eleanor stood up and pushed the wheelchair towards the villa.
The setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows, warm and beautiful.
From a distance, Bernard withdrew his melancholy gaze and turned away indifferently.
When Eleanor pushed Garett back to the villa, Yilia had already prepared dinner.
As they entered from the back garden, Yilia immediately waved at them with a smile, “Mr. Falsey, Ms. Shultz, come have dinner.”
Eleanor smiled back, pushed Garett to the dining table, and took the knife and fork handed over by Yilia.
She bent down and asked him, “Do you need me to feed you?”
Garett smiled, “My hands can still move.”
Yilia also laughed, looking at Garett, “Mr. Falsey, your voice is really nice.”
Garett shifted his gaze from Eleanor’s face and said to her, “Yilia, thank you so much for these three years.”
During these three years, he didn’t want to communicate with anyone, so Yilia had to guess his needs when taking care of him, which took a lot of effort.
Yilia shook her head as she served the dishes, “It’s not hard at all. Mr. Laurence pays me way more than I made as a caregiver in the hospital”
She used to be a caregiver at Dr. Terrill’s hospital. Because of her gentle personality and excellent caregiving skills, the hospital director recommended her to Mr. Laurence.
Mr. Laurence offered her a very high salary to take good care of Mr. Falsey, which was actually a great job opportunity.
Moreover, Mr. Falsey wasn’t like other patients in the hospital, and she didn’t need to take care of every aspect of his life, just cooking and doing laundry.
As for his physiological needs, Colter Clowers would help, so she didn’t have to worry about that. This job was really great, so how could it be tiring?
After preparing the meal, Yilia told them, “You two eat first. I’ll eat with Colter when he comes back.”
With that, Yilia turned and left the dining room, giving them space to be alone.
