Chapter 797
Bernard got Eleanor’s point, but was a tad irked that she still cared about her old flame
In his life, he feared nothing, except a man named Garett Even the mere mention of the name could have him lied up in knots….
It was hard to put into words He always had this feeling that one day, all his happiness would be Garett’s
A weird thought indeed. Maybe he cared too much, or treasured the present so much that he feared losing it.
But the fact that Eleanor could ask him for help without hesitation meant she had moved on from Garett
Otherwise, they would’ve been tiptoeing around the name, the person.
Their ability to communicate honestly, to express their inner thoughts, was a step toward the future.
Realizing this, Bernard’s irritation cooled down a bit
“I know a few..”
“Do you need their contact info?”
Bernard glanced at Eleanor, reminding himself not to be petty, to be more magnanimous.
After convincing himself, he opened his contacts in front of her and dialed a renowned international expert.
After confirming the expertise and availability of the leg treatment specialist, Bernard handed over the contact information to Eleanor.
“Send this to Ms. Vulpe, but don’t contact him directly,” Bernard instructed.
*Mr. Laurence, you look adorable when you’re jealous,” Eleanor remarked playfully, cupping his face and planting a kiss on his forehead, attempting to ease his jealousy. Her gesture seemed to have the desired effect as Bernard appeared pleased, subtly raising an eyebrow
“Send it to Ms. Vulpe right in front of me,” Bernard requested, his nervousness evident
Suppressing her laughter, Eleanor discreetly glanced at him, contemplating whether he was concerned about her privately contacting Garett. However, she obediently sent the specialist’s contact information to Hailey
Seeing her finish, Bernard pulled her onto his lap.
“Actually, after he got injured, I found experts to treat him, but he refused”
“Now that the best treatment time has passed, the experts I found might not even be able to help him stand up.”
He lifted his head slightly, looking at Eleanor’s face. This was the first time he brought up Garett voluntarily.
“Prepare yourself mentally. Don’t think later that I didn’t want to help him.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor lifted her hands, encircling Bernard’s neck, and said to him,
“How could that be? You’ve always been helping him…”
If not for him, Garett would’ve been gone a long time ago. But….
“We should try again, maybe it’ll work ”
Bernard was not one for wishful thinking, more of a realist. But he didn’t shatter Eleanor’s hope, just nodded slightly.
“Don’t let him know I found the doctor”
If he were Garett, if he knew the doctor was found by his rival, he would refuse the help even if it meant he couldn’t stand for the rest of his life.
Bernard’s words made Eleanor realize She was so focused on helping Garett, she hadn’t considered this, and was momentarily at a loss.
Seeing her lost in thought, Bernard, thinking she was thinking about Garett, gave her waist a squeeze
“Honey, you can only think about me, no one else.”

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...
