Chapter 547
Caleb and Aidyn watched the chopper vanish into the distance, then exchanged a knowing look.
Caleb, swallowing his rage, quickly ordered his guys to track the helicopter’s path,
They returned to the villa, planning to follow Ethan once they had the route.
They found a voice recorder, a tape and a note addressed to Bernard in Eleanor’s bedroom.
“Caleb, these were all under the note Looks like Ms. Shultz left them for Mr. Laurence”
Caleb took the items and played the voice recorder. Hearing the familiar voice from it, he froze, turning to Aidyn, “This is
Aidyn’s face hardened. It’s Ms. Shultz’s voice”
Aidyn took the tape from Caleb, saved it on a USB, and plugged it into the computer.
The video made them uneasy
Holding the items tightly, Aidyn said to Caleb, “You go after Ethan. I need to head back to A City and let Mr. Laurence make the call.”
Caleb looked serious, nodded, and went after Ethan with his guys. Aidyn quickly returned to A City
Before entering the sickroom, he gripped the items tightly
He wasnt sure if Mr. Laurence could handle the news, but he didn’t want to keep it from him any longer.
Determined, Aidyn gathered his courage, pushed open the door, and approached Bernard.
Bernard, lying in the hospital bed, brightened slightly at Aidyn’s entrance, “Did you find her?”
Seeing that Mr. Laurence’s mind was still on Eleanor, Aidyn sighed, gripping the recorder and USB tightly.
He was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head, ‘Not yet.”
Bernard frowned, giving Aidyn a cold look, Then why are you back here?”
Aidyn handed Bernard the items, “I came back to ask if you want to continue searching for Ms. Shultz.”
Bernard didn’t quite understand what Aidyn meant and thought something had happened to Eleanor, his heart pounding
“What happened to her?”
Aidyn bit his lip, pressed play on the recorder, and Eleanor’s clear voice filled the room-
“Bernard, I’m sorry. I realized I don’t love you as much as I thought, so I can’t marry you.”
“Please forgive me and respect my choice. I’m living comfortably with my Ethan now, so stop sending people after me.”
“I hope you’ve received the video I sent; it proves that I’m doing well. Don’t bother me anymore.”
Eleanor’s cold words were like a frosty blade, piercing Bernard’s heart.
He trembled uncontrollably, struggling to sit up but ultimately collapsing back onto the bed.
He coldly told Aidyn, “I don’t believe it. Whatever it takes, bring her back to me=”
Unless he saw her in person and heard her say “I don’t love you,” he absolutely wouldn’t believe it!
Aidyn seemed to know he wouldn’t believe it, turned on the computer, plugged in the USB…
When Bernard saw the video, he turned deathly pale, his body shaking as though drained of all life.

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...
