Chapter 60
Seeing that he was keeping his distance, Eleanor didn’t insist anymore and obediently lay down, allowing her dizziness to subside a bit.
The doctor had warned her not to overwork herself.
But she had been tormented by Mr. Law for two days straight, and then she came back to work without a proper rest.
Running back and forth between airports, restaurants, and hotels, any ordinary person would feel exhausted, let alone her.
It was all due to overwork that led to her condition acting up.
Eleanor thought that she must get Sophie to approve her resignation tomorrow. For the next few days, she needed to lie safely at home and wait for death.
Otherwise, if something like today’s sudden attack happened and no one came to save her, she’d die directly, and who would take care of her body then?
As her thoughts ran wild, a man in a white suit walked in.
The newcomer had a very refined and clean appearance, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament.
Seeing Eleanor lying on the bed, he hooked his lips and smiled.
With his smile spreading across his face, two deep dimples appeared on both sides of his cheeks.
“It’s a woman.”
Tyler walked over with a medical kit, gave Jason a wink and said, What are you staring at?”
“Just check her out and see what’s wrong with her.”
He had seen her faint twice today, and this was definitely not a symptom of low blood sugar.
Only then did Tyler put away his giddy demeanor, took the stethoscope out of the medical kit, and intended to listen to Eleanor’s heart.
However, Eleanor raised her hand to stop him. “I have a heart condition, and I just had a sudden attack. It’s no big deal.”
Knowing she couldn’t fool the doctor, she just told the truth.
But she didn’t want him to diagnose her because she didn’t want Jason to know about her heart failure. She was afraid that if Jason knew, he might kick her twice more.
She hadn’t had a chance to say goodbye to Hailey yet, so she couldn’t die like this.
Tyler, being a doctor, could easily see if a patient was lying or not.
Without showing any emotion, he glanced at her leg. The swelling in her lower extremities was a late–stage symptom of heart failure.
This woman was only about 27 or 28 years old. It was a pity she had experienced heart failure at such a young age.
If the patient didn’t allow treatment, he naturally wouldn’t force it. He put away the stethoscope and turned to look at Jason.
“Jason, did you do something bad to her? She won’t even let me examine her.”
Tyler didn’t expose Eleanor; instead, he acted as if he didn’t know and teased Jason.
His actions made Eleanor have a good impression of him.
When he had looked at her leg just now, he had clearly noticed something but chose to help her hide it. It seemed that the doctor had a strong sense of professionalism.
Eleanor was relieved.
Jason, on the other hand, was still immersed in the words “heart condistion Eleanor had mentioned. He seemed to be naturally sensitive to these words and felt uncomfortable when he heard then.
Seeing his frown and a gloomy face, Tyler went over, covered his mouth, and asked curiously in a low voice, “Who is she?”
“Just a friend”
Jason came to his senses, looked at Eleanor, and answered in a gentle tone.
“Just a friend?”

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...
