07:06 Chapter 198 When Hailey firmly said those words, his heart suddenly felt like a plece was missing with emptiness, as if he had lost something.
His eyes filled with tears as he shook his head, âNo, if she really died, you wouldnât have cremated her so quickly..â
How could Jason, who loved her so much, bear to turn her into ashes in an instant?
Hailey looked at him coldly, suddenly feeling that he was really pathetic. At this point, he still refused to face reality.
She was silent for a moment, then spoke coldly. âIt was Eleanor who heard Sophieâs voice and requested immediate cremation after her deathâ
It was her request to be cremated immediately after her death...
It was because he didnât come to see her for the last time, and let Sophie hurt her.
So, she didnât want him to see her for the last time ether? Not even her body?
When he realized she was leaving this world with such regret and unwillingness, Bernard felt his blood instantly freeze.
He felt as if he had been drained, unable to support himself as he leaned against the wall and slumped onto the cold floor The unbearable pain was like a hand squeezing his heart, stealing his breath away in an instart.
Hailey looked at Bernardâs pale face on the ground and found it ridiculous. âYou just treated her as a substitute for Sophie, and now youâre acting like you love Eleanor so much. Youâre not worthy of her!â
Bernard locked up at Hailey. âI never treated her as a substitute..â
Hailey showed discan, âSaying this now is useless. Eleanor thought she was Sophieâs replacement when she was alive.â
He lowered ha head, without retorting, as boundless darkness enveloped him, wrapping him up and plunging him into silence.
After a long time, he opened his mouth but made no sound, then spoke with a trembling voice. When was her heart failure diagnosed?â
Hailey didnât leave, wanting to stay and provoke him. When he finally asked about the heart failure, she couldnât help but ridicule him, âYou slept with her for five years and dient know, how would 17â²â²
That was night, he had been with her for five years and didnât know about it. What a joke to ask her friend...
Hailey thought for a moment, then said. She was diagnosed with heart failure before signing the agreement with you.â
She didnât want to say it at first, but she felt like she should tell him. Just how indifferent had he been to Eleanor all these years!
Bernard stiffened, his face even paler.
So she had heart failure so early, and he didnât even notice.
No, he did notice once..
It had happened four years ago...
He remembered that night; he couldnât bear to leave her. He couldnât help but hold her as they fell asleep, only to hear her calling Garettâs name in her sleep He was pis sed and pushed her away. Maybe he pushed her too hard, and she woke up, suddenly gasping for air She reached out to him with difficulty, begging him to take her to the hospital...
But he was furious at the time, not knowing she had a heart condition, so he ignored her and even used money to humiliate her and vent his anger, A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

ï¤Chapter 1765 (END)
Thinking back, a strong guilt surged into his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
From congenital heart disease, then heart failure, to the late stage of the condition, she had never told him, perhaps she had already given up hope on him.
Hailey said, âDr. Terrill said if she hadnât been beaten, she could have lived for two more months relying on medication, but you inflicted such severe injuries on her. Bernard, itâs one thing for your cousin and fiancée to take revenge on her, but why did you also hurt her? After all these years together, donât you have any feelings for her at all?â
What did it mean for him to be here if he really had no feelings?
If he did have feelings, why did he hurt her with those two evil women?
Haileyâs words were like sharp needles piercing his palm, making him pale with pain.
He lowered his head slowly looking at his right hand...
It was this hand that slapped her, causing her to fall onto the nails.
If he hadnt hit her, maybe she could have lived for another two months....
It was him who killed her...
Yet, the day he decided to terminate their agreement, she still begged him to stay.
She carefully asked him if they could wait a Intle longer since the contract only had hall a year luft.
But he remained stent and looked at her coldly His cold gaze made her too afraid to say another word.
She even pretended to joke, afraid heâd think she was clinging to him 17:04 Chapter 198 Bernard thought of the helpless and desperate feelings beneath her seemingly calm and beautiful smile, and his heart ached deeply.
She had accompanied him for five years without any complaints despite her heart failure. But what had he done?
Not only did he ignore her feelings with Indifference, but a single slap also took away the limited time she had left...
