Chapter 549
The sweet gesture from the kid brought a tad bit of warmth to Eleanor’s grieving heart
She didnt want to look like a hot mess in front of the kid, so she swallowed her sadness, stood up from the ground, and gently potted Nina’s head
“Auntie won’t cry anymore, let’s go back to the room”
Nina responded with a “Okay” and quickly reached out her tiny hand to quide Eleanor back to the room
Before long Eleanor began to feel a little cramp in her lower belly, not sure if it was because she had just cried or her emotions were too bottled up
She felt that this pain wasnt quite like a pregnancy pain but more like the kind during period
As she was doubting, a warm fluid flowed down her legs and she was stunned
During this period, George not only prescribed her eye treatments but also some prenatal vitamins and nutritional supplements.
She occasionally had morning sickness, but it wasnt severe, so she never doubted whether she was pregnant or not, but….
She never thought that all of this was nothing but a big fat bel
She trusted George so much, obediently followed his words, took every medication he prescribed, but he was deceiving her!
Inescapable fate, shackled life, a cage she couldn’t escape from, now even the last glimmer of hope was ripped away.
Eleanor completely broke down, like a lunatic, she stumbled out of the room.
“George, why did you he to me!”
7m clearly not pregnant, why did you say I was?!”
1 trusted you so much, why did you do this to me?”
George, hearing the cries, rushed out of the room. Catching sight of the fresh blood on her lower dress, he immediately understood.
He walked over filled with guilt, trying to help her up, but was shoved away by Eleanor.
“I hate you!”
The once kind–hearted her, now had eyes filled with hatred.
George kept apologizing, explaining he just wanted her to live, but Eleanor no longer believed a word he said.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then, leaning on the wall, she staggered up and headed back to the room.
Nina, seeing her aunt like this, also began to cry. But fearing the weird uncle might hit her, she could only squat in the corner and sob quietly.
At this moment, Eleanor had completely lost the will to live. Her surroundings were so quiet she couldn’t hear a sound, her mind filled with one thought.
That is-
With no child, no Bernard, why should she continue to live?
Just to see him in the grave, should she continue to endure being treated like a substitute?
She didnt want to!
She wanted to find him!
No one could stop her!
After finding out she wasn’t pregnant, she had no emotional response after her breakdown.
She lay on the bed, desolate like when she first learned Bernard had passed, not eating or drinking
Just when everyone thought she was silently waiting for death, she suddenly got up in the middle of the night and went to the living room.
In the dark, she found a fruit knife on the dining table, then like a ghost, quietly returned to her room.
She was blind, she didn’t know where Ethan slept, couldn’t kill him, but she could kill herself.
In the moonlight, she looked down at Nina who was sleeping peacefully on the bed….
She still didnt know what Nina looked like, yet she had developed strong feelings for her.
She was a bit reluctant, squatted down, and gently kissed Nina’s forehead.

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...
