A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390

“Luckily, the bleeding isn’t bad and the situation isn’t too grim. Well try some meds first if things go south, we might need to do surgery” 

The hospitals dean put the X–ray in his hands, turning to look at Bernard, who was half–sitting on the bed. Seeing that his mouth was no longer bloody, he let out a sigh of relief Thank god the bleeding stopped in time and there was no infection. If something happened to this big–shot Investor in his hospital the Laurence family might have his head. Eleanor, who was standing by the bed, felt her tense body gradually relax at hearing the dean’s words 

“Is there anything he needs to be careful about during his stay?” 

“He’s gotta watch his diet and rest. No heavy exercise.” 

Eleanor took note of this, then turned towards the doctor who was bandaging Bernard’s arm. 

“How’s his arm?” 

“Just a scrape with some bleeding. Didn’t hit the bone, so no biggie”

Turned out, she still couldn’t forget that name.

It seemed like she could feel his hidden love from those memories 

Time ticked by until dawn, and the man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. 

Seeing the woman sleeping quietly by the bed, he felt a warmth in his heart, a hint of a smile in his eyes. 

Afraid she was uncomfortable, he bore the pain, sat up, brought her onto the bed, and held her in his arms 

Eleanor woke up, looking at his face, which was a bit sickly but still handsome 

She wanted to say something, but Bernard put her head against his chest, whispering, “Eleanor, sleep with me a bit longer.” 

His voice was a bit hoarse, but more magnetic than usual Eleanor obediently relaxed in his arms 

Only then did Eleanor notice the gunshot wound near his heart under his open collar. 

The wound had healed, but it was still evident that it had once been pierced by a bullet. 

She reached out and touched the scar. This is…”
