Chapter 345
Bernard pushed open the hospital room door, took a glance at Garett sitting in his wheelchair, and walked right out.
Garett couldn’t hear what they were talking about inside. Seeing Bernard leave, he thought there must be an emergency, so he didn’t think too much
about it.
He took a distant look at Eleanor lying in the hospital bed and then wheeled himself towards the room….
Eleanor was looking out the window with her head tilted until a figure blocked her view, and she snapped back to reality.
“Garett…
Seeing him, Eleanor smiled faintly, “You came…”
Garett nodded slightly. Seeing the thick gauze wrapped around her back, his already pale face turned even paler.
“Eleanor, does it hurt a lot?”
Eleanor wanted to smile and say it didn’t hurt, but any movement made her break out in a cold sweat from the pain..
Garett reached out to touch her shoulder, but as if suddenly remembering something, his hand froze mid–air and didn’t touch her.
He looked at Eleanor gently and said, “Don’t move around too much, it’s easy to hurt the wound…”
Eleanor blinked her eyes, signaling she understood, “Okay…”
After answering, she looked Garett up and down, noticing that he had lost a lot of weight since their wedding day, and she felt guilty.
She opened her mouth, speaking softly, “Garett, I’m sorry about what happened on our wedding day…
Before she could finish, Garett interrupted her, “Eleanor, you don’t need to apologize. I understand whatever you do.”
Hearing this, Eleanor felt even more guilty. Looking at his pale face, she didn’t know what to say.
Garett didn’t seem to mind and told her, “Eleanor, I came to give you a gift.”
Eleanor tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion, “What is it?”
He took out a divorce certificate, handed it to Eleanor, and said, “Eleanor, when I got our marriage certificate, I did it without your consent. Now, I’ve gotten the divorce papers, again without your consent. I’m sorry.”
Eleanor looked at the divorce papers, stunned for a moment, and then stared at him blankly, “Garett, didn’t we agree to start over?”
Garett’s eyes were filled with reluctance, but he still smiled, “We can’t start over.”
Eleanor’s heart tightened as she frowned and asked him, “Is it because I blocked the acid for him that you….”
Garett gently shook his head and said softly, “It’s because I know that no matter how long I wait, you’ll never fall in love with me again.”
Eleanor opened her mouth to argue, “How do you know if you haven’t tried?”
Garett smiled without answering her question. Instead, he picked up the cup of water next to her and asked, “Eleanor, are you thirsty?”
Eleanor wanted to say she wasn’t, but Garett said, “Let me feed 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...
