Chapter 664
In the study room of Hailey’s villa, Eleanor was concentrating on her drawing but no matter how hard she tried, the lines were still skewed
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if she was about to lose something
She felt uneasy, so she put down her brush, slumped in the chair, and rubbed her brow
Then, the phone next to the desk rang
Seeing the call was from Bernard Cleaner answered it
“Bernard, have you seen Ethan?” she asked
There was a silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, then a voice came through
“Eleanor Ethan’s been shot‘
Upon hearing this Eleanor’s heart tightened, feeling a dull pain.
This feeling wasn’t her own, but she couldn’t control her emotions
She get up in a panic accidentally bumping into the corner of the table
She velped in pain, and Bernard on the other end of the line apparently guessed her anxiety, but said nothing further
“Ethan’s been taken to Mercy Hospital Ive sent someone to pick you up.” He said.
When Eleanor arrived at the hospital Bernard was standing at the door of the ward.
“Bernard, how’s Ethan?” she asked breathlessly
Bemard took a handkerchief out of his pocket, helped her wipe her sweat while answering her question.
“The bleeding’s stopped, but the bullet hit his heart, there’s no saving him now”
On the way to the hospital, Eleanor had heard about Ethan’s condition from Bernard she knew this was Casey’s doing
She didn’t expect that even though she hadn’t told Casey Ethan’s location, Casey had still found him so quickly
Casey, the liar, had said hed wait eight months before looking for Ethan to take the child, but he’d come to kill him
Thankfully she hadn’t been fooled by Casey, if Ethan’s current situation were because of her, she would never forgive herself.
Thinking about how she was almost used, and Nina being forced by Casey to shoot her own father, the felt incredibly angry
“m handle Ninas case. You go see Ethan first Berard said, comforting her
Eleanor nodded and then went into the ward
Ethan, lying in the hospital bed, was covered in blood, the sheets and quilt were all stained red
George sat next to him, holding Ethan’s hand, sobbing desperately
“Ethan, I’m sorry, I couldn’t save you, I’m so sorry
Hearing George’s voice. Eleanor couldn’t help but tear up
Seeing the bloody scene on the bed, her heart ached violently
She pressed her chest, then walked over to Ethan’s bed.
Ethan, lying on the bed, struggled to move his eyes, looking vaguely at Eleanor approaching
His eyes fell on her, who was wearing a red dress, short hair draped over her shoulders, a bright, confident smile on her face, waving at him
“Ethan, if I win this game, would you be with me?”
Ethan tried to stay awake, answered softly. “Ok”
The answer that had always been in his heart, at this moment, finally came out. Emilia, who had come to see him for the last time, should have heard it, right?
After George made space, Eleanor sat in front of the bed, saw Ethan looking at her said to her, “Ok”
She realized, Ethan saw her as his sister
Ethan tried to lift his trembling hand, gently touched her face

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...
