Chapter 313
The two of them happily hopped into the car and drove to the church where Hailey often went.
As they were getting close to the church, they could hear the nuns singing. Their voices were so soothing and calming, it felt like a weight was lifted off their shoulders.
She carried some fruits and followed Hailey, step by step, devoutly entering the church.
Seeing the cross, tears slowly welled up in her eyes
It seemed that she had so much pent–up bitterness in her heart, and with nowhere else to vent, she could only find a moment of peace
here.
After they entered, a priest led her in confession.
After confessing, she made three wishes:
One, for Hailey to be safe.
Two, for Garett to be healthy.
Three,
At this point, images related to him flashed through her mind.
The priest noticed her hesitation and kindly said, “You can wish for anything.”
Hearing this, Eleanor wished for Bernard’s happiness.
She wished him happiness and hoped that he would soon find someone to accompany him for the rest of his life.
After finishing writing, she thanked the priest and walked out of the church.
Upon leaving the church, Eleanor’s heart was completely at ease.
After knowing his helplessness and what he had done for her, she was indeed affected.
But when she saw him with other women, that influence gradually faded away.
From now on, he would have his new life. And she, would have her own mission to accomplish.
She was taken care of by Garett in the first half of her life, and now it was her turn to repay that debt.
And all the things Bernard had done for her, she would find a way to pay him back as well.
After sorting out her thoughts, the heavy burden in her heart gradually lightened.
Hailey was ready to drive straight home, but Eleanor said, “Hailey, can you take me to the cemetery?”
Since returning to the country, she had been busy finding Hailey, Garett, and dealing with Bernard and Ethan, and hadn’t had time to visit the cemetery.
Now that all these things were taken care of, it was time to visit her sister, who was buried in her stead.
Hailey immediately nodded, “I’ll take you there.”
Soon, Hailey took Eleanor to the cemetery.
Before entering, Eleanor looked at the beautiful mountain across the cemetery.

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...
