Chapter 545
The assistant repeated carefully, “Bernard’s awake”
Ethan was taken aback for a few seconds, but quickly regained his composure. He seemed to have anticipated this, not taking it to heart
He nonchalantly picked up a napkin from the dining table to wipe the cereal smears off his fingers…
After cleaning up, he looked towards the surveillance camera and said to the assistant, “Since Bernard’s awake, Ill send him a gift
Bernard will be thrilled when he saw it, but I wonder if he’d get so ecstatic that he’d pass out again….
He was beginning to look forward to Bernard’s reaction
Lying in his hospital bed. Bernard was agonized by the surveillance footage sent to his phone, feeling as if his guts were being ripped apart
Shivering, he swiped away the first video of Ethan feeding Eleanor, but uncontrollably clicked on the second one…
In the video, Eleanor was brimming with a tender smile, sweetly calling him, “Ethan…”
Ethan reciprocated with a happy smile and reached out to caress her hair.
The next video showed Ethan carrying a sleeping Eleanor from the living room to the bedroom, not coming out the whole night.
When Bernard got to this part, he couldn’t bear to watch any further, feeling suffocated, as if his neck was being strangled.
He clenched his phone, trying to muster the strength to get up, but failed…
His immobilized body, the smothering pain in his heart, and the unbearable restlessness were driving him towards edge…
But Bernard, who was always good at keeping his emotions in check, soon steadied his breathing…
With a serious face, he picked up his phone again and continued watching the videos, focusing intently on Eleanor.
There were over thirty clips, each capturing a moment of the day where Eleanor was gentle towards Ethan, showing no other emotions, never once looking at the camera.
Bernard couldn’t discern her true emotions from her eyes, he could only stare at her silhouette, trying to read something from it, but to no avail
She seemed to have moved on from him and fallen for Ethan, but when Bernard saw her waist–length wavy hair, he knew that she had kept it for him.
His Eleanor once said, whether she was pregnant or not, she would marry him, so she wouldn’t just fall for someone else in a mere two months.
Bernard didn’t believe the videos for a second, only trusting in Eleanor’s love for him…..
They had been through so much, separated so many times due to mistrust.
Now, no matter what happened, he would unwaveringly trust her!
Bernard clicked on a video and sent it to Aidyn, who had already arrived in G country.
“This video doesn’t look like it was shot in G country, go check the IP address…”
After saying that, he forwarded all the sender’s information to Aidyn.
Aidyn had just met with Caleb when he received Bernard’s call, quickly responding with a “yes“.
He immediately asked his people to check, then put down the phone and looked at Caleb, who had just come out of Ethan’s villa.
“Did they run?”
Caleb nodded grimly, then kicked the tied–up Mr. Wilson in the car.
“Spill it! Where did Ethan go?!”
Mr. Wilson kept his mouth shut. Ethan had once saved his life, how could he easily betray his savior?
Seeing him silent as a mute, Caleb angrily pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at his forehead.
“If you don’t speak up, I’ll shoot!”
Damn, these were the two most tight–lipped people he had ever encountered in his career!
One was Cameron Ratliff, who was impervious to any beating or threat!

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...
