Chapter 151 Jason stole a glance at Eleanor, who had already averted her gaze. A wave of pain surged through his body, causing him to stagger. âYouâre being so heartless to me because youâve fallen in love with Bernard, is that it?â he uttered, his voice filled with agony. âEleanor, Iâve loved you for half of my life. How could you do this to me?!â His words were a mix of desperation and disbelief.
Suddenly, resentment flooded Jasonâs eyes, directed both at Eleanorâs cruelty and her affection for someone else.
Eleanor looked at Jason, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth, âYes, I fell in love with him. You know what Iâm like when I love someone. Since I love him, I wonât show mercy to anyone else. Can you please just let me go?â
Upon hearing this, Jason felt cold all over, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Filled with fury, he rushed to Eleanor, grabbed her chin, and kissed her forcefully.
His kiss was forceful and possessive, reminiscent of their past encounters. However, whereas Eleanor would have reciprocated in the past, now she remained unresponsive. Jason reluctantly released her, observing the icy coldness and disdain reflected in her eyes. His heart turned to ice.
âEleanor, you will regret this...â he muttered, leaving her with those words. Leaning against the wall for support, he stumbled away, his figure displaying the aftermath of severe emotional wounds.
As she watched Jasonâs broken form retreat, tears welled up in Eleanorâs eyes, a mixture of sorrow and regret.
Seeing her like this, Hailey was puzzled. If she couldnât let go, why was she treating Jason this way?
âEleanor, are you still holding a grudge for when he kicked you?â
Eleanor shook her head, âIâm not mad at him anymore. He didnât do that.â
Without waiting for Haileyâs next question, Eleanor told her about Jason having an identical twin brother, Haileyâs heartache was eased, as her longstanding grudges also faded.
It turned out that Jasonâs elder brother was the one who hurt Eleanor. Garettâs amnesia was real, and he hadnât lied to them.
It seemed she didnât care for Garett in vain. However...
Her eyes filled with doubt as she questioned, âSo why are you still treating him like this?â

Eleanor tookâaâdeep breath, preparing to disclose her lateâstage cancer to Hailey. However, before she could utter a word, a call interrupted her.
âEleanor, hold on a moment, Austin is calling. Let me answer it.â
Eleanor had no choice but to remain silent. When Hailey ended the call, her expression revealed concern, prompting Eleanor to inquire, âWhat happened?â
âAustin said there was an emergency back home, and he needs to return.â Hailey, known for her honesty, shared the truth with Eleanor.
Without hesitation, Eleanor swiftly responded, âThen donât stay with me. Go with him to assess the situation.â
However, Hailey surprised Eleanor by choosing to sit down beside her bed instead of hastily leaving.
âAustin said itâs just a family debt. Heâll go back, pay it off and come back. I donât need to go with him, More like he didnât want to take her home.
Eleanor watched Hailey peeling an orange, wanting to say something but not sure how to start.
Now that they were married, she was worried about affecting their relationship.
When Hailey finished peeling the orange, she noticed Eleanorâs hesitation and smiled at her, âI know what youâre worried about. Donât be afraid. Iâll handle it myself. Itâs just that they wonât let me go back to Austinâs hometown. Itâs not a big deal.â
With a casual expression, she handed a piece of orange to Eleanor, âHere, have some orange to replenish your vitamins.â
