Chapter 533
To prevent Eleanor from killing herself, Ethan ordered some men la chain her hands and feet to the bed.
Eleanor lay in bed and was as silent as a tomb. She stared blankly at the ocean outside the window
The hired help taking care of and watching her didn’t have a clue what was going on in her head, but saw tears streaming down her face
Eleanor kept crying, but didn’t make a sound. She was like a lifeless doll.
This went on for a week. Eleanor refused to eat or drink she seemed to want to die on her terms.
Ethan wasn’t about to let her die He had people pumping her with nutrients to keep her on life support
George was changing her IV noticed Eleanor’s blank stare, and got the heebie jeebies He tried waving his hand in front of Eleanors face, but she didn’t react. That’s when he realized she was blind
George quickly grabbed some eye meds from the medicine box and shaved them into Eleanor’s mouth, but she spat them out.
George tried to persuade Eleanor, but saw her dragging her chains. She turned her back to him and whispered toward the sea, “George I saw him coming for me Let the go, will you?”
Let her go in this state to go after Bernard
George stood by the bed and glared at Ethan who had been eyeing his every move. You’re getting a kick out of torturing Emilia’s little sister, aren’t you?”
Ethan lounged on an armchair and massaged his temples. As cool as a cucumber, he looked at George saying. Your job is to keep her alive, not to lecture me”
George thought Ethan was beyond reasoning. “She’s going to die if this continues”
Ethan, unfazed, replied. Then drug her up, and turn her into a vegetable”
Just like before, she laid quietly in bed and did not make a fuss. How peaceful.
George balled his fists and stormed out in a huff.
After he left, Ethan got up, walked over to Eleanor, and frowned at her pale face. Don’t forget, you still have to draw designs for your sister. If you cry your eyes out, how are you going to draw?”
Eleanor, lying on the bed, didn’t react. It was like she didn’t hear him at all.
For the past few days she had been like a ghost. She only said a few words to George
Looking at Eleanor in this state, Ethan was getting antsy. He grabbed Eleanor’s face, pried open her mouth, picked up a cup of water from the table, and forced it down her throat.
Eleanor choked, coughed violently, and sprayed water all over Ethan’s hand.
Ethan looked at the water on his hand. His frown deepened, but he swallowed his anger and wiped her mouth with a tissue
“If you want to give up on life, I won’t stop you. But before that, please finish the designs for your sister.
“Also, you still have two things left on our agreement that need to be done.”
Eleanor turned her head to avoid close contact with him. Then she lay down facing the sea, choosing to remain silent.
He just wanted to prolong her life, to let her live for her sister’s sake…
But to her, without Bernard, what was the point of living?
Ethan’s indifferent gaze fell on her petite figure that was turned away from him. After coldly staring at her for a while, Ethan promised, ‘Once you’ve done these, I’ll take you home.”
What he was best at was making deals. Eleanor had been duped a few times, so she didn’t buy it.
Her silence made Ethan lose his patience. He got up and stormed out of the room.

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...
