Chapter 99
The result of the bidding conference wasn’t a surprise to Jason.
After signing the contract, he left the venue directly and went back to the resting area.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Eleanor still sleeping soundly, which made him frown slightly.
He went to Eleanor’s side and gently nudged her, only to find that she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Even though he called her name several times, there was no response from her.
At first, he thought she was just in a deep sleep, but now he felt that something was off.
This was not just deep sleep; it was more like a coma.
He quickly took out his phone and called Tyler, “Tyler, let me ask you, would someone with heart disease be prone to drowsiness?”
Tyler, who was attending a meeting, was surprised, suddenly realizing who Jason was talking about.
“People with heart disease are indeed prone to drowsiness…”
“Is there a symptom like they can’t wake up once they fall asleep?” Jason asked urgently.
Heart disease itself wouldn’t make it difficult for someone to wake up while sleeping, but heart failure might.
Tyler wanted to tell him the truth but felt that the patient didn’t seem to want Jason to know.
“It’s probably because they’re too tired and that’s why they’re sleeping so deeply. There’s no big deal. Just let them wake up naturally.” Tyler hesitated for a few seconds, then chose to conceal the truth, respecting the patient’s wishes, which had always been his principle as a doctor.
Hearing Tyler’s answer, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.
These past few days, Eleanor had been accompanying him to banquets and bidding conferences, so she might indeed be exhausted.
After hanging up the phone, Jason turned to Eleanor, who was sleeping soundly on the couch.
He clearly remembered covering her with his coat before leaving, but now it was gone.
Looking around, he finally found the suit jacket in the trash can.
Jason’s relaxed brow furrowed once again.
Did she hate him that much? Hate him enough to throw his coat in the trash?
A suppressed sense of loss gradually magnified at this moment, making him feel extremely unsettled.
“Mr. Clowers,” the vice president entered from outside the door, “The Laurence Group is urging us to leave as soon as possible. We have to go.”
The Laurence Group was involved in research and development and was always worried about data leaks, so they never allowed outsiders to stay for long.
Hearing this, Jason pulled his gaze away from Eleanor and coldly said to the vice president, “Go get the car.” He nodded and immediately turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Jason, full of anger, picked up Eleanor and headed straight out.
Chapter 99
Since she hated him, he just had to touch her!
His stubbornness, paranoia, and possessiveness made him lose basic gentlemanly manners. At this moment, his heart and eyes were full of rage, an unprecedented fury, as if this was his true self!
When he appeared before all the executives with Eleanor in his arms, everyone was shocked.
The persistence in their president’s eyes made them somewhat afraid.
Cedric had just entered the president’s office and saw Bernard with his hands in his pockets, standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, looking down.
The setting sun cast its glow on Bernard’s proud and lonely figure, giving off an indescribable sense of
loneliness.

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...
