A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 909

Chapter 909 

Though Eleanor harbored doubts, she forwent further contestation, merely offering a slight mod in response 

Noting Eleanor’s lack of retaliation, Wendy caught the cue and ceased to provoke Bernard Mustering her strength, she waved Eleanor closer. 

“Would you mind drawing near so I can see you clearly?” 

Up until this juncture, aside from Robin stationing his bodyguard at the door, and Wendy’s fruitless endeavors to unsettle Bernard, Eleanor had remained unscathed. 

This resulted in a ripple of perplexity washing over the pair What was Wendy’s endgame? 

After exchanging querying looks, Eleanor and Bemard, still hand in hand, approached Wendy’s bedside and perched themselves down. 

Wendy, glossing over Bernard, stretched out her rugged, trembling hands towards Eleanor’s visage. 

“I always believed Emilia bore a striking resemblance to your mother, but it seems you mirror her even more distinctly.. 

Her rough fingertips brushed against Eleanor’s face, making her uncomfortable. She turned her head slightly aside 

“What do you want from me?” 

Stop trying to manipulate me with family ties. Can you just spit out what you’re after? Why this performance? 

Wendy’s gaze seemed to casually slide over Bernard’s face before she nonchalantly reached for Eleanor’s hand. 

“I just wanted to see you one last time. Now that I have, I’m satisfied…” 

Despite this, Wendy’s words were still baffling Was she really just wanting to see her once? 

As Eleanor questioned, Wendy gently patted her hand and said with deep sincerity: 

“I’m sorry for your mother’s death. I’ve always wanted to apologize to her, but never had the chance. So, I found you, hoping to make amends, so I won’t leave any regrets or guilt after I die” 

On hearing this. Eleanor frowned slightly. “Did you kill my mother?” 

Wendy shook her head regretfully “I didn’t harm her. She came to me for money when she was pregnant, and I turned her down. I could’ve lent her the money, but my parents wouldn’t allow it. They warned that anyone who lent Vanya money would get their legs broken. The Pine family rules were strict, nobody dared to defy my parents.. 

As Wendy spoke, her eyes didn’t seem as gloomy but rather filled with regret. Eleanor also felt she wasn’t lying. 

But she couldn’t accept this apology on her mother’s behalf, all she could do was sit there, with a complicated look on her face, watching the pale woman on the bed. Wendy held Eleanor’s hand tight, as if she was holding onto Eleanor’s mother, and didn’t let go. “Vanya and I were only a year apart, we were like sisters But I was too obedient to my parents, refusing to lend her money, which led directly to her death. Each time I think of it, I feel immense guilt and can’t sleep…” 

With this, she looked into Eleanor’s eyes, tears welling up. “Kid, I’m sorry for your mother. This is also why I sent my son to find you to make up for past regrets. Don’t overthink it…
