Chapter 888
Even the cold–hearted Bernard Laurence didn’t expect the person who switched the medications to be Donna Stanley Laurence
He was dumbstruck for a while before he could barely believe it: “You actually tried to harm your own son?”
Donna’s eyes were red and swollen, and she was shaking her head frantically “No, no, I was trying to give you the drug, but somehow, even though I clearly switched your medications, he ended up taking it. How could this have happened?”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Schultz felt a pang of sympathy, clutching Bernard’s arm lightly. “So, she was actually trying to kill you.”
*Bullshit!”
Donna roared, pointing at Bernard, “Who said I wanted to kill him? The drug would only make him less intelligent; it wouldn’t kill him. He’s my pet project, I want to torment him for a lifetime, why would I kill him?”
Her son, who had finally gained power, became ill due to overexertion at a young age.
Since childhood, Bernard has been seen as the smartest kid by Blake, who groomed him privately to take her son’s place in the future
How could Donna tolerate the children of that couple taking away what belonged to Dominic? So she switched his medications when he was seriously ill.
Who would have thought that the drug, which accelerated brain degeneration, would be eaten by her own son?
Bernard finally understood why Donna wanted to kill him but didn’t actually do it.
It turned out she wanted to keep him around, to torment him for a lifetime….
This kind of thinking shattered the last bit of morality left in Bernard’s heart.
He took Eleanor’s hand and stepped forward, looking coldly at the suffering Donna through the glass. “You’re really pitiful.”
Wanting to harm him but ending up killing her own son, how does Donna have the face to live in this world?
Instead of reflecting on her mistakes, Donna angrily yelled at him, “Bernard, did you switch the drugs? Did you?!”
Looking at Donna, who had fallen into madness, Bernard said emotionlessly. “You always thought you were smart, but you don’t even know who switched the drugs, pathetic
She kept guessing but never thought of Sophie Ratliff, which shew how clever Sophie was, even fooling Donna.
Likewise, if Sophie hadn’t once said that she was the only one who knew the truth of Dominic Laurence’s death, Bernard wouldn’t have suspected her
Donna switching his medications to something that lowers intelligence wasn’t a one–time thing, it had to be done regularly. If someone found out during this time, it wouldn’t be surprising
Sophie once said that she agreed to be Dominic’s girlfriend to get close to him. With this motive, if Sophie discovered Donna switching Dominic’s medications, she would naturally take action.

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...
