Chapter 295
Eleanor woke up, and it was already night. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
She lifted her hand, rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them again, everything was a bit blurry.
She sat on the edge of her bed, it took a while for her vision to refocus.
Once she could see clearly, she picked up her phone and texted George.
[Dr. George, my eyes are playing tricks on me again.]
George didn’t respond right away, so she put away her phone, and got out of bed.
She opened the door and went downstairs, Ethan was sitting in the living room, face to face with Hailey.
She glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already 10 pm, no wonder Ethan was here.
She sighed, she had planned to take Hailey to see Garett today, but it was too late now.
Seeing Eleanor awake, Hailey immediately got up and walked over to her, “Eleanor, are you hungry? I can heat up some food for you.”
Just as Eleanor was about to say yes, Ethan’s casual voice came from behind them, “Time to go home.”
Hailey turned around and glared at Ethan, saying. “Eleanor is an independent individual, you can’t restrict her freedom like this.”
Ethan, lounging on the couch, snorted, “If I restrict her freedom, you won’t be able to see her.”
He had the means to control her, but he didn’t because of her sister.
Hailey’s face darkened when she heard these words. She had always felt that Eleanor staying with Ethan would only lead to more danger, but she didn’t know how to help Eleanor escape from him.
Eleanor understood Hailey’s concern and quickly reassured her in a low voice, “Hailey, I’ve divorced him, don’t worry
Hearing that Eleanor had divorced Ethan, Hailey felt a little relieved, “Since you’ve divorced, there’s no need to go back with him.”
Eleanor glanced at Ethan, who was pretending not to hear, and gave a bitter smile, “Hailey, he won’t give up on my sister’s heart.”
Hailey understood then, even though Eleanor was divorced, her freedom was still controlled by Ethan. Seeing Hailey’s worried expression, Eleanor quickly patted her hand, indicating that she shouldn’t worry.
They wanted to talk more, but Ethan had lost his patience and got up, pulling Eleanor towards the door.
Eleanor only had time to say she would come see Hailey tomorrow before being dragged out of the villa and shoved into the car.
Once they were gone, Hailey received a call from the nightclub, saying someone was spending big money for her company and asked her to hurry over.
Her face darkened, since she was the boss, and someone wanted her company for the night. They obviously were looking for trouble.
She thought for a moment, grabbed her car keys, and drove to the nightclub. She was ready to see who dared to mess with her.

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...
