Chapter 493
The car quickly arrived at Hailey’s villa, and Eleanor withdrew her fingers that rubbed his temples, and said to him, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Bemard nodded lightly, held her waist, raised his head, and kissed her again before reluctantly letting go: “Good night.”
Eleanor also replied ‘good night‘ and got out of the car. As she reached out to push the villa door, she looked back.
Behind the half–lowered car window, his face appeared, as pure and noble as the moonlight
Eleanor smiled at him, then turned around and walked into the villa….
In the car, the man saw the door close, and his struggling body suddenly fell onto the back seat.
‘Aidyn, painkillers.”
Aidyn quickly took out the painkillers, raised the partition, and handed the pills to Bernard.
The man took them, put them in his mouth, his face deathly pale.
Seeing Mr. Laurence like this, Aidyn’s brow furrowed, and his face was full of worry.
“Mr. Laurence, when did you start having headaches?”
If he remembered correctly, Mr. Laurence’s older brother also started having headaches before he died.
With one hand supporting his head, Bernard looked at Aidyn with cold eyes that seemed like ice.
“I don’t want anyone to know about my
headaches.”
Aidyn didn’t obediently nod like before, but looked at him uneasily.
“Is it because you’ve taken too many sleeping pills over the past three years, plus not sleeping much lately, that’s causing the headaches?”
His older brother took control of the Laurence family at eighteen, overworked himself to death, and headaches were the first symptom.
Mr. Laurence had been whipped and abused by Donna Stanley–Laurence since he was a child, and his body was already full of scars….
After losing Ms. Shultz, Bernard nearly died from a gunshot wound while saving Garett Falsey, even though his suicide attempt failed.
After barely being saved, he relied on cigarettes, alcohol, and sleeping pills to get by, or he worked tirelessly…
When Ms. Shultz came back, he was even more heartbroken because he couldn’t make up for his past mistakes, and he suffered from several stomach bleeds…
Lately, he hadn’t slept well since returning from W City, staying up until his eyes were bloodshot, and now he’s having headaches.
Aidyn was afraid that Mr. Laurence would wear out his body just like his older brother did….
“It’s just a headache, I won’t die.”
After saying this, he ordered Aidyn:
“Transfer all my assets to Eleanor in secret, without her knowing.”
Upon hearing this, Aidyn’s face turned even paler with fear.
“Mr. Laurence, what’s going on?”
Why would he suddenly transfer all his assets to Ms. Shultz?
Could it be that Mr. Laurence was really in a bad state, so he started making arrangements for after his death?!
The man leaning back in his car seat, gripping his temples with one hand, rubbed them hard:
“I said, once she regains her identity, I’ll give her everything I have.”
Aidyn stared at him, trying to discern the truth from his words, but couldn’t see anything.

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...
