Chapter 303
As Eleanor was going over these details, she suddenly realized his love for her.
But it was already too late for her now.
She stopped reminiscing and decided to call Hailey.
Just as she was about to dial, George’s call came in first, “Ms. Shultz, did you forget to take your meds on time?”
Hearing this, Eleanor sighed helplessly and said, “George, Ethan didn’t give me any medicine to prevent me from running away” There was silence on George’s end for a few seconds, and then he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go find him.”
Eleanor wanted to ask if these drugs could be bought domestically, but George hung up directly.
Right after he hung up, Hailey’s call came in, “Eleanor, why couldn’t I get through to your phone?”
She had left the nightclub late last night and saw Eleanor’s missed call. She called back in a hurry, only to find that the phone was off.
Worried that something had happened to Eleanor, she drove to Ethan’s villa. The servants said Eleanor was asleep, so she felt slightly relieved and went home.
When she woke up this morning and called again, the phone was still off. Just as she was about to rush to the villa to find her, the call connected.
Eleanor was a bit embarrassed and said, “Hailey, I’m sorry. My phone had some issues, I just changed back to my old one.”
Hailey said “it’s fine” and then asked, “Did you call me last night for something?”
Eleanor briefly explained the situation with Ethan, told Hailey not to worry, and said, “Hailey, I’ll come to see you later and take you to
meet someone.”
Hailey didn’t ask who it was, just replied “okay.”
After agreeing on a time with Hailey, Eleanor changed out of her pajamas.
These pajamas were given to her by Hailey yesterday, and she hadn’t had a chance to change before being taken away by Ethan. After changing into a clean, neat outfit, she picked up her old phone and went downstairs.
Ethan was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw her, he acted as if everything was normal and continued eating. Eleanor, however, couldn’t pretend nothing had happened. She gave him a cold glance and turned to walk out of the villa.
“Come back.” His voice rang out from behind her, but Eleanor didn’t respond.
He put down his knife and fork, tapped the glass table, and said, “Do you still want your medicine?”
Eleanor looked back at Ethan and said, “What do you want, really?”
Ethan pushed the medicine box on the table towards Eleanor and said, “Come here, let’s make a deal.”
Eleanor glanced at him, then at the medicine box, and coldly said, “I don’t want it. Keep it for yourself.”
She turned to leave, but Ethan said, “If you accept my terms, I’ll go back to the G country.”

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...
