Chapter 319
When Eleanor saw the two bank cards, her heart warmed up, but she still declined.
“Hailey, what I left for you is yours, no need to return it. Take care of your own savings. There are many places where you will need money in the future. As for the debts I owe, I’ll pay them off myself, so you don’t have to worry for me anymore…
Hailey disagreed with her and insisted on giving the bank cards back.
“Eleanor, you might not know, but after you left, Liana gave me some money. Garett also gave me all his personal assets. Except for Garett’s, I haven’t had a chance to return his, but I’ve already paid back Liana’s.”
She paused for a moment, then asked Eleanor, “Do you know how I paid her back?”
Eleanor shook her head, and Hailey said with a smile, “I pestered Liana till she couldn’t stand it anymore and took the money back. I said to her, you wouldn’t want me chasing you for the rest of your life, would you?”
Eleanor didn’t expect that Hailey had been pestering Liana for three years just to pay her back. “Hailey, didn’t Dr. Terrill give you any tranquilizers for this?”
Hailey couldn’t help laughing, thinking of Dr. Terrill’s helpless and irritated face. “She just said she never wanted to see me again…”
Eleanor also chuckled, “Yeah, I don’t want to see you now either. Take your bank cards and leave.”
Hailey wanted to say something else, but Eleanor pushed her out. She could only sigh and put the bank cards into the document bag Garett had given her.
Early the next morning, Hailey took the document bag and drove to where Garett lived while Eleanor was still sleeping.
When Yilia opened the door and saw her, she immediately smiled brightly and greeted her sweetly, “Good morning, Hailey.”
Hailey couldn’t help but return the smile. “Morning, where’s Garett…”
As Yilia led Halley into the villa, she told her, “Mr. Falsey is in the study talking with Colter…”
Without rushing to meet him, Hailey sat down in the living room under Yilia’s hospitality.
After a while, Colter pushed Garett out from the study.
The man in the wheelchair, wearing a white shirt, looked clean and handsome, yet gentle and scholarly.
Hailey couldn’t help but laugh as she looked him up and down, “You look much better today than before.”
It seemed a good night’s sleep had done him a world of good, his eyes were shining.
Garett smiled brightly, “Hailey, you came to see me so early. Is there something you need?”
Hailey nodded, took out the document bag from her purse, and handed it him, “This is what you gave me before. Now that you’re back, it should be returned to you.”

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...
