Chapter 45
Eleanor was so tired that she didn’t have the energy to think about random stuff anymore. She took a bath and went back to her
room to sleep
She slept like a log until the next afternoon, almost 3 pm. Looks like her sleepiness was getting worse
She knew that patients in the later stages faced worsening symptoms, so she didn’t pay too much attention to it
For her, it’s all about living it up as long as she could.
Anyway, everybody’s gonna die, and it’s just a matter of time, there’s nothing to feel sad about.
She went to the kitchen to make a simple dinner – oatmeal and some salad were enough.
She chatted with Hailey via video call while eating her food.
Hailey and Austin had arrived in Malaysia, and the two were having fun by the beach.
The sky and water there were much bluer than in A City, so clear and pristine.
Hailey was wearing a bohemian long dress and walking on the sandy beach, smiling gently
Seeing Hailey’s happy face, Eleanor felt happy for her.
“Eleanor, the scenery is so beautiful here; I must bring you here next time!”
“Okay” Eleanor responded softly, and they chatted for a while. Then Hailey had to go do some boating with Austin.
After reminding them to be careful, Eleanor ended the video call.
Just as she wanted to put her phone down and focus on her food. Mr. Law sent her a WhatsApp message.
“Midnight Bar, luxury suite. Come see me.”
This message was pretty clear the jerk wanted to sleep with her again!
Eleanor clenched her phone and typed angrily, “How dare you ask me to see you?
Mr. Law replied calmly, “I want to have sex with you.”
Eleanor stared at the message, and her face flushed with anger.
“You committed a crime yesterday, and you still have the audacity to send messages like this?!”
She sent the message with trembling hands and immediately took a screenshot of the conversation.
Although she didn’t get any video footage, this kind of verbal harassment could be used as evidence against him.
Having already filed a police report, the text screenshots would make the case stronger!
But the guy didn’t care about her emotions and sent a picture to her.
Eleanor was furious when she saw the picture he had taken a nude photo of her!
And the weird angle he took made it seem like she was the one who initiated it!
As Eleanor’s anger flared, the man sent another message.
“Come here, or I can’t guarantee where this photo will end up.”
He was using her nude picture to threaten her. This man was even more hateful than Josef!
Eleanor gritted her teeth, took screenshots of his messages, and planned to hand them over to the police tomorrow.
But the man seemed to know what she was thinking and sent her another message:
“You can call the police, but don’t forget that you were the one who invited me to the hotel.”
“I asked Josef, not you! You pretended to be him to commit a crimet
Eleanor replied quickly, her face red with anger
But when she saw his next message, she was even more furious.
“Who knows if I were Josef or not?”

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...
