Chapter 926
Eleanor stepped out of the castle, her gaze traveling past the iron gate to a scene of Scott and Katharine locked in fierce combat.
When Caleb returned, he informed Eleanor about Robin’s sister, Katharine, describing her as a fierce fighter Initially, Eleanor was skeptical and didn’t fully believe him.
However, when she witnessed it firsthand, she was genuinely shocked Even someone as large as Scott was struggling to defend himself against Katharine, who had him pinned down.
“Ms Spencer”
A gentle voice came from beyond the railing, causing Katharine’s tightly clenched hands to slowly unclench
She straightened up, turned around, and looked at Eleanor standing in the iron gate.
“Are you Eleanor?”
“Yeah.”
The sight of Eleanor standing in the sunlight, nodding slightly, left Katharine momentarily stunned.
How could she harm such a vibrant person? But she didn’t want to lose her mother either.
Katharine hesitated for a few seconds, then walked towards Eleanor, only to be blocked by Scott.
“Back off from Mrs. Laurence, or we’re going to have a problem.”
He had been treating Katharine with kid gloves, because he didn’t hit women. But if she dared to harm Mrs. Laurence, he wouldn’t show any mercy
Katharine glanced at Scott, clearly underestimating him, and instead, her attention was fixed on Eleanor through the sturdy iron bars.
“Mrs. Laurence, would you mind stepping outside? I’d like to have a conversation,” she said.
“No, thank you,” Eleanor firmly rejected the offer.
“I know why you’re here. We can talk right here,” Eleanor stated, refusing to be lured outside, sensing Katharine’s intentions of kidnapping her.
Startled by Eleanor’s readiness, Katharine realized her plan might have been anticipated, and Eleanor was on guard
“Your brother contacted me. He informed me that you’re here to take my heart, Eleanor revealed. It suddenly made sense why there were bodyguards stationed outside the castle and why someone as formidable as Scott was on high alert. Her brother must have tipped them off about the situation.
Katharine, who had been set up by her own brother, admitted openly since it was already out in the open.
“Yes, that’s why I’m here.”
Eleanor gave a wry smile.
“Ms. Spencer, your doctors have taken my blood and done genetic matching. I’m not a match for your mother. If you insist on taking my heart for her, it only shows your ignorance. An incompatible transplant would kill her immediately due to a rejection reaction.”
This left Katharine momentarily stunned. It took her a while to recover.
“But my mother told me that the doctor said your heart belonged to Emilia, and it would match my mother’s.”
“Did she tell you that?”
Katharine nodded.
Eleanor laughed, “She’s fooling you. The heart transplanted into me has already become part of me. My cells, my blood, they’re all incompatible with her. How could an individual organ possibly match?”
Katharine was somewhat disbelieving but couldn’t come up with any counter–argument, “How do I know you’re not lying?”

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...
