Chapter 275 After s***ng out for a while, Eleanor snapped back to reality and slowly looked at Garettâs leg. âWhat about you? Whatâs the deal with your leg?â
Garett followed her gaze, touched his c***ed leg, and said nonchalantly, âJust a gunshot wound, no biggieâ
Hearing the words âgunshot wound,â Eleanor thought about a love-suicide and guilt filled her face, âWas it because you suicided in front of my tombstone.7â²â²
Garett shook his head and denied, âNo, it has nothing to do with you. Donât blame yourself.
Eleanor couldnât accept that, so she frowned and said, âGarett, weâve known each other for so many years. Is there anything you canât tell me?â They were each otherâs first love and had been family for many years. Their deep bond couldnât be erased by time.
Garett stared at her, silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, âAfter you passed away, I wanted to die with you... but Bernard stopped me...â
As he said this, he unconsciously glanced at Eleanor, seeing that her expression didnât change much, he continued, âHe took the gun from my hand, and while I was determined to kill myself, I accidentally hurt my leg during the struggle...â
Eleanor looked at him in a daze, âWhy would you do something so foolish...â
Garett smiled, âEleanor, whatâs the point of living without you?â
Eleanorâs guilt magnified infinitely, making her feel extremely remorseful.
Garett was still alive, but his leg was injured, and he could no longer move freely like before.
He claimed it wasnât her fault, but everything happened because of her.
She touched his leg with a guilty face, âIâm sorry, I caused this...â
Garett didnât mind and gently comforted her, âEleanor, it really has nothing to do with you. I just hurt my leg by accident.â
Eleanor shook her head with tears in her eyes, âIf I hadnât suddenly passed away, you wouldnât have...
Garett raised his hand to stop her from continuing. âNo matter when you passed away, I wouldâve followed youâ
That was always his plan, and no one could stop him, including her.
Eleanor looked at his stubbornness, feeling like her heart was being weighed down by a stone.
She stared at his legs, her guilt not diminishing but accelerating.
Garett once again ruffled her hair and said, âDonât worry, the doctor is still treating me. Maybe I can stand up again.â
This sentence ignited a glimmer of hope in Eleanor, âReally?â
Garett smiled and nodded, âYeah.â
The doctor had said that the nerve was damaged and he would be paralyzed for life, but he didnât want to see his Eleanor continue to feel guilty.
Getting her answer, Eleanor quickly wiped away her tears and said softly, âGarett, Iâll stay by your side and take care of you from now on.â Garettâs clear face stiffened for a moment, and his eyes involuntarily looked at his legs...
Caring for a cr***le is hard. How could he selfishly let her atone forever?
Garett shook his head gently, âEleanor, someone is already taking care of me. You donât have to stay by my side...
Hearing this, Eleanor looked at the girl still standing on the steps, âIs it her?â
Garett didnât look back, but he could feel someone watching him.

He nodded, âYes,â
Eleanor turned to Garett, âHas she been taking care of you for the past three years?â
Garett nodded again, and Eleanor seemed to understand something, so she stopped talking.
Seeing her silence, Garettâs heart felt tightly squeezed, causing him pain and difficulty breathing.
Just as he was about to say something, Eleanor spoke again, âGarett, are you sure you donât need me to stay by your side and take care of you?â
His clenched fist struggled for a long time, and finally slowly loosened, painfully replying, âNo needâ
Eleanor didnât ask him anymore, stood up straight, took a step back, smiled at him, and then turned and left.
