Chapter 425
Bemard silently watched over her for a while, then gently let go of her hand, covered her with a blanket, and left the ward.
He retumed to the villa, went to the kitchen to make some soup, as if it was the last time he’d ever cook for her, and he was very meticulous about it When he came back, Eleanor had already taken a nap. Seeing him coming in with something in his hands, her expression slightly faltered.
Bernard placed the meal boxes one by one on the bed cabinet, took out a small bowl, and scooped a bowl of soup.
He sat down in front of the bed, looking at Eleanor, who was silently staring at him: Eleanor, you haven’t eaten for days, are you hungry?” Eleanor’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn’t answer. Bernard, however, raised her bed and brought a small spoonful of soup to her lips
She didn’t open her mouth, just looked at him. Seeing her in a daze, Bernard said softly
“Eat some, and you’ll get better.”
His voice was gentle, as if he was bidding her farewell for the last time.
Eleanor opened her mouth and ate all the soup he brought, bit by bit.
After feeding her the soup, Bernard took out a few side dishes and gave her some.
Eleanor didn’t resist anymore, whatever he fed her, she ate.
The two got along harmoniously, as if they were back in the past. However, only they knew how much pain lay beneath the calm surface. Seeing that she had eaten enough, Bernard put down the bowl, took out the antidote and the eye medicine, and brought them to her mouth.
“Eleanor, take your medicine.”
Eleanor looked at him and slowly opened her mouth. As soon as the medicine was in her mouth, he handed her some water.
She drank some water and swallowed all the medicine. Only then did Bernard take out a tissue and gently wipe the corner of her mouth.
His movements were gentle, completely different from his previous manic state, perhaps because he had figured things out and managed to control his emotions.
After receiving the nutrient solution and eating some food, Eleanor’s condition improved, but she was still weak and didn’t have the strength to take a bath. Seeing that she kept looking towards the bathroom, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom after the nurse removed the IV catheter. He put her on the washstand, turned on the bathtub, adjusted the water temperature and then helped her undress and put her in the bathtub. He had been helping her bathe these days, and he was used to it. In this situation, he didn’t feel embarrassed, but rather, it was very natural.
Bernard’s slender fingers gently touched the bite marks on her shoulder.
He thought that by leaving his exclusive mark on her, she wouldn’t dare to go back.
But he never considered how Eleanor would face Garett if he saw these marks.
This childish and selfish him deserved to suffer the pain of losing her time and time again.
His eyes red, he hugged Eleanor from behind, holding her tightly in his arms.

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...
