Chapter 359
When Pearce heard these words, he gave her a stiff smile: “I really appreciate your compliment:”
Eleanor glanced at him and reached out to him: “Can I borrow your phone?”
Hailey went back to the hospital to get her phone. She should’ve been back quickly, but she never showed up, and it wasn’t clear what was holding her up. Pearce handed her his phone: “The passcode is four zeros…”
Eleanor wanted to ask him why he set such a simple password, but then remembered his OCD and didn’t say anything.
She quickly unlocked the phone, called Hailey, and after a few rings, she answered: “Hailey, it’s me…
Hailey heard Eleanor’s voice and immediately shifted her gaze away from Cedric, asking, “Eleanor, why are you using Pearce’s phone?”
After explaining what had happened, Eleanor told Hailey, “If you haven’t left the hospital yet, wait for me there. I’m going back to get the surveillance footage.*
Mr. Law had always appeared when there was no surveillance before.
He even turned off the lights, making it difficult for her to see his shape and features.
Now, during the day, he suddenly appeared in the underground garage.
Although he was wearing a mask, as long as there was footage of him, the police might be able to find out who he was!
She had thought Mr. Law liked her because he sent her so many messages.
But with so many things going on and no time to think about what happened three years ago, she didn’t pursue it further.
Who would have thought that three years later, he would force her like this in front of so many men and hurt her!
How could she let him off the hook easily? With the debt from three years ago and today’s humiliation, once she found out who he was, she’ll retaliate twice as hard!
After hanging up the phone, Eleanor clenched her fists and told Pearce, “Back to the hospital.”
They definitely wouldn’t expect her to go back, so the hospital was the safest place now!
Pearce smiled slightly: “All right, Ms. Shultz, I’ll take you there right away.”
Hearing that Eleanor had encountered Mr. Law again and was almost bullied, Hailey was furious. She hung up the phone and headed to the surveillance
room.
Cedric had just sent Sigrid into the gynecology department when he saw Hailey’s back and unconsciously sped up to catch up.
“Bro, where are you going?”
Sigrid called out to Cedric, leaning against the wall, looking weak: “I’m not feeling well, can’t you accompany me to see the doctor?”
Cedric had no choice but to stop, turn around, and help Sigrid, sitting down in the waiting area, his mind elsewhere…
When Eleanor arrived at the surveillance room, she heard Hailey’s angry voice.
“How could it be such a coincidence that the surveillance broke just at this time?”
Hearing these words, Eleanor’s steps faltered, and the hope in her eyes was instantly shattered.

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...
