Chapter 557
Just as Bernard was about to reply, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve, explaining excitedly
1 didnt, I wasnt with him!”
“He drugged me with sleeping pills and took me to G country!”
“He led to me that you were dead I thought you were really gone, I wanted to see you one last timel
“But he used that as a threat, made me pretend to be my sister I didn’t agree, I wanted to end it all. But then he tricked me into thinking I was pregnant!”
Eleanor rambled on, touching her stomach, looking at Bernard, yelling with all her might
“I thought I was carrying your baby I agreed to his demand thinking I was going to have our child!”
“But a month later, I found out that I wasn’t pregnant at all!”
“He fooled me! He’s been fooling me all along!!
After Eleanor had finished shouting, she calmed down, looked into Bernard’s eyes, and asked with a smile, ‘Do you know how I made it back?”
Bernard was trembling, looking at the Eleanor in front of him who seemed a bit off, and asked incredulously, “How did you make it back?”
He was shaking but was afraid that any of his actions would set her off, so he could only suppress his endless fear and go along with her
Eleanor lifted her sleeve, revealing a scar and showed it to him.
“He only let me go when I almost died from suicide…”
She paused, and then said through gritted teeth “But he still chained me to the bed, kept me locked up for three months before he let me go!”
She finished speaking, and then asked him crazily. “Don’t you think he’s a monster?!”
Bernard wanted to hold her, but she pushed him away. “You haven’t answered me yet!”
He looked at her, who was on the verge of losing control, his eyes red, and agreed with her, “He is a monster.”
Getting the answer she wanted, she suddenly turned ferocious, if you knew he was a monster, why would you think I was with him?!”
She seemed to realize her outburst, quickly pulled down her sleeve, and shrunk into a corner, looking at him cautiously
Tm sorry, I’m not crazy, I’m just, just…”
She couldn’t find the words to describe, couldn’t speak, and could only humbly pull at her curly hair and smile at Bernard.
“Look, I kept my hair long for you. Don’t… don’t leave me, okay?”
Hearing her words, the tears Bernard had been holding back suddenly lost control and flowed down.
What kind of torment had his Eleanor been through these days to turn out like this?
Just a moment ago he was cold to her because of a misunderstanding, almost cruelly leaving her in the snow.
Bernard was in extreme pain and regret
He reached out and held her tightly in his arms
“Eleanor. Im sorry, I failed to protect you…”
His embrace, his voice, his breath, gradually brought Eleanor back to her senses
Feeling safe, she snuggled into his arms and held onto his waist.
“Bernard, don’t treat me like that again. If I can’t handle it, I’ll really break down…”
If it werent for him turning back, putting that coat on her, and holding her in the car, she might have already broken down….

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...
