Chapter 341
In the orphanage, Bernard was holding Eleanor with Liana’s help, placing her on the carpet.
Liana found someone in the orphanage and got a soft hose, using a lot of water to repeatedly wash the sulfuric acid off Eleanor’s back.
During the rinsing, Eleanor, who was lying on the ground, was still trembling uncontrollably even though she was unconscious.
Bernard couldn’t breathe, heartbroken at the sight of her pain.
A strong sense of guilt hit him, and he knelt before her again.
He gently touched her pale face.
His fingertips felt the icy cold skin that made his heart ache.
His heart skipped a beat, and the fear and dread of losing her once again three years ago instantly flooded his mind.
His trembling hand placed under her nose couldn’t feel her breath, and he slumped down, powerless.
“Liana… she’s not breathing…”
Hearing Bernard’s trembling voice, Liana paused washing the acid off and quickly reached out to check Eleanor’s breath and pulse.
“There’s still a faint breath, but Eleanor just had major surgery, and now she’s been seriously injured again, I’m afraid she won’t make it…”
Just as Liana finished speaking, Bernard suddenly lost control of his emotions, “No, she’ll be fine, I won’t let anything happen to her!”
He anxiously took the hose from Liana’s hand, not caring if his fingers touched the sulfuric acid, and desperately helped her rinse.
Seeing this scene, Hailey couldn’t help but cry, praying in her heart over and over again, hoping Eleanor could pull through.
Outside the door, Garett wanted to help, but he could only sit in his wheelchair, powerless.
This feeling of helplessness made him pinch his legs hard, as the despair of falling into an abyss gradually consumed him.
Liana wanted to stop Bernard, worried about his hands getting injured. But he wouldn’t listen, so she had to continue making emergency calls.
Before she could make the call, the sound of an ambulance was heard at the orphanage entrance.
She was about to ask Bernard to carry Eleanor to the hospital, but before she could speak, she saw him quickly pick up Eleanor and rush outside.
It was as if he couldn’t see anyone else, holding Eleanor tightly in his arms and heading straight for the ambulance.
After handing Eleanor over to a group of doctors, he coldly ordered, “Whatever you do, you must save her!”
The doctors, of course, knew he was the biggest boss behind the hospital and quickly responded respectfully, “Yes!”
They quickly connected Eleanor to a ventilator and treated the wound with sodium bicarbonate solution.
Bernard held Eleanor’s hand tightly the whole time, his bloodshot eyes staring at her pale face.
“Eleanor, you have to pull through. Your Garett is waiting for you to get married, you can’t let him down…”

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...
