Chapter 550
Nina woke up in a daze half–asleep.
The room was pitch black, she couldnt find her aunt, which scared the daylights out of her and she started waiting.
Her tantrum quickly attracted George and Ethan
George barged into the room, turned on the light, picked up Nina, and tried to soothe her
As soon as Ethan saw there was no sign of Eleanor in the room, he beelined for the bathroom.
When he pushed open the bathroom door and saw the blood all over the floor and the pale woman in the bathtub, he was gobsmacked
“George, we’ve got a situation!”
He rushed forward, picked up Eleanor, and as soon as he got her on the floor, he pressed down on her bleeding wrists
George dashed into the bathroom, saw Eleanor’s suicide attempt, was taken aback for a second, then got his act together
He called for the servants to fetch the first aid kit, stopped the bleeding in a fluster, and started emergency treatment on Eleanor
Just as the woman on the floor was about to lose her last breath, George managed to save her.
“Get her back to bed”
Seeing George finally breathe a sigh of relief, Ethan then lifted Eleanor and placed her on the bed.
After George put an oxygen mask on her, he turned towards Ethan, “Happy now?”
Ethan didn’t respond, his eyes fixated on Eleanor’s pale face
He stood still like a statue for a couple of minutes before he reached out and touched Eleanor’s hair.
Seeing this. George had a weird feeling surging inside him.
He glanced at Ethan who was now caressing Eleanor’s hair and couldn’t help but ask, “Ethan, are you after Emilia’s heart, or Ms. Shultz?”
Ethan was baffled by the question, “What do you mean?”
George walked up to him, “If all you want is Emilia’s heart, then take it out. I’ll put it in another body, and leave Ms. Shultz alone. If it’s Ms. Shultz you want, then treat her right
Upon hearing George’s words. Ethan’s gaze fell on the frail figure lying on the floor.
After staring for a while, he coldly said, “Emilia’s last wish was to keep her heart within her, not to give it to someone else!”
George looked at him with uncertainty, “Is it really Emilia’s last wish you care for, or you just can’t bear to see Ms. Shultz die?”
Ethan retorted, “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
George locked eyes with him, pointing at Eleanor, “Tell me, who do you see now? Emilia or Eleanor?”
Ethan’s gaze slowly moved from the hair to Eleanor’s face.
He tried to see through Eleanor to find Emilia, but found himself seeing Eleanor instead of Emilia.
He drew back his finger in shock, disbelievingly looking at the woman on the bed, “Impossible”
Dropping these words, Ethan turned and left as if being chased by a monster, fright filling his whole being
George watched as Ethan left in a hurry, sighed deeply, “Ethan, when will you stop lying to yourself and others?”
The next morning, Eleanor woke up, and knowing that she was still conscious, she realized they had saved her.
Just as Ethan had said, for every time she tried to die, he would save her, not even letting her die!
Eleanor opened her eyes, although her sight was blurry, she tried to focus on the person sitting at the edge of her bed….
“Who’s there?”
Ethan didn’t respond, just quietly watching her, “Get better, and you’re free to go.”
Eleanor didn’t believe a word he said, and turned to look out the window, “Kill me, take my heart.”

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...
