A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521
Before she had time to ask why, Cameron cut the ropes binding her injured hands and feet with the knife in his hand.
Eleanor thought Cameron would let her go, but he spun the knife around out of the blue. The sharp tip was pointing at Eleanor’s neck Then Cameron said, ‘Ms. Shultz, you have a soft neck. I guess one slice should do it, huh?”
As the cold knife grazed her skin, Eleanor was sweating bullets, but she forced herself to stay calm and look at this middle-aged man “Cameron, I don’t know who he is Even if you kill me, I can’t tell you anything Why are you giving me such a hard time?”
While she spoke softly, her eyes gave away her determination. No one was getting any information on Mr. Law’s whereabouts from her. She was determined to protect Bernard and wouldn’t let him get hurt. Even if she was threatened, she wasn’t afraid! Seeing her remain so defiant, Cameron figured she must have guessed that he wouldn’t kill her, so she refused to confess.
Looked like he needed to give her a taste of despair. After all, at the brink of desperation, people did tend to choose survival first….
Cameron waved his hand and a man with a scar brought over a huge drum full of water. Before Eleanor could react, someone held her head and pushed her into the dram The feeling of suffocation was overwhelming, making her struggle to breathe.
Cameron showed no signs of stopping the man. Instead, he seemed to enjoy watching Eleanor struggle, puffing on his cigar and laughing.
“Ms Shultz, you have quite the lung capacity. I’m impressed you’ve held out this long”
Eleanor couldn’t hear a word he was saying, all she saw the bubbles she made as she gasped for air.
As her struggling hands gradually lost strength, flashes of her life experiences filled her mind….
She had no regrets. The only regret was her failed promise to marry Bernard.
Just as she was about to die from a lack of oxygen, the door of the cabin was kicked open.
A man appeared at the door. When he saw Eleanor, seemingly lifeless in the tub, he was furious!
The guard standing at the door saw the man kick the door down. He raised his iron stick to knock the man out, but the man grabbed the guard’s wrist, and the sound of breaking bones followed
The guard’s eyes rolled back into his head and he passed out. When the others saw this, they rushed over. But Bernard knocked them out one by one with the iron stick!
In just a few seconds, he fought his way through from the door to the scarred man, and broke the hand that held Eleanor’s head with the stick
Then, he pulled Eleanor out of the water When he touched her cold body, he was nervous and petrified. He was shaking as he tried to check if she was still breathing. She suddenly coughed and spat out several mouthfuls of water
Bernard breathed a sigh of relief. He held her weak body tightly in his arms, and kissed her forehead.
“Eleanor, I’m here, you don’t have to be afraid anymore…..”
He was going to make those who hurt her pay a painful price!
