A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344 

After giving Eleanor some water, Bernard whispered, “You want more?” 

Eleanor gently shook her head, her gaze falling on the burn marks on Bernard’s fingers. 

She looked up at him, “Your hand…” 

Bernard slightly bent his fingers, avoiding her gaze, and then took a clean towel with his other hand, wiping the water from her lips. 

He didn’t answer her question, and Eleanor didn’t ask again. She looked around the room, “How long was I unconscious?” 

“It’s been half a month,” Bernard replied after wiping her lips. 

She thought it had only been a few days, but it turned out to be half a month. 

The first person she saw when she woke up was Bernard. So where were Hailey and Garett? 

She wanted to ask Bernard, but saw him gently lifting her face and changing her pillow. 

Then he picked up toiletries, helping her clean her cheeks, mouth, and exposed skin. 

He did these things naturally, as if he had been taking care of her the whole time she was unconscious. 

Eleanor felt a bit uncomfortable, lowering her head, her long eyelashes quivering as she stared blankly at the floor. 

After cleaning her up, Bernard looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then walked to the bathroom. 

Eleanor watched his retreating figure, noticing him taking a suit from the closet. 

That’s when she noticed the closet was full of his clothes and a bunch of toiletries. 

Bernard was a clean freak, he liked to be neat and usually wouldn’t let his clothes be in a place like this. 

But now he broke his own rules, putting so many clothes in the hospital room, meaning he didn’t care about his cleanliness for her sake. 

Thinking of this, Eleanor frowned slightly, her heart filled with complicated emotions as he came out of the bathroom. 

He was dressed in a black, high–end suit, looking tall and straight, with a noble temperament. 

His thick hair was neatly combed, his chiseled face clean and sharp, without a hint of stubble.. 

He was as refined as ever, only his eyes hiding fatigue and returning to indifference. 

As Bernard came out of the bathroom, he immediately saw the man outside the room. 

He seemed to have been there for a long time, but didn’t come in because of Bernard. 

Bernard’s expression changed slightly, then calmly walked to Eleanor. 

He seemed reluctant, gently stroking her short hair. 

“Eleanor, what you owe me, including what Garett owes me, is all paid off. Don’t feel like you owe me anything from now on.” 

“Also, I’ll find the best international plastic surgeons to help you fix your back skin. I won’t let you be disfigured.” 

After saying these words, his fingers slowly slid from her hair to her cheek, gazing at her affectionately. 

“Eleanor, I have to go. From now on, let Mr. Falsey and Ms. Vulpe take care of you…” 

He had said before that once she woke up, he would no longer bother her, even if his heart was full of reluctance, he had to let her go.
