Chapter 539 Eleanor kept her silence, and George didnt pressure her to speak instead, he often came to visit her with Nina in his arms in the days that followed During the day. Nina would sprawl in front of Eleanorâs bed and play with her face using her adorable little fingers.
âAuntie, you look just like the doll my daddy bought for me. Sheâs pretty too, but she doesnt talk George must have influenced Nina somehow, because she initially called Eleanor âMommyâ now she started calling her âAuntie.â
Every time Nina called her Auntie, it warmed Eleanorâs heart. At night, she couldnât resist holding Ninaâs tiny body tightly in her arms.
It was like finding a solitary beat in this flashy world, carrying her around and showing her a beautiful scenery.
Eleanor bent her head to look at the child in her arms, wanting to see her face. Only then did she realize that she was blind, and a wave of regret washed over her.
Would she see the light again after she died? If not, she wouldnât even be able to see Bernardâs face after death...
Eleanor held Nina and her hollow eyes stared into the distance.
Bernard, did you know? I got pregnant with your child. If you were still here and heard this news, youâd be happy, wouldnât you? Unfortunately, youâre gone. You took away my hope for life, yet gave me a reason not to come and find you...
What should I do?
If I were to keep the baby, Iâm afraid he or she will end up like Nina, without parents. If I were to abort the baby, itâs your only bloodline, and I canât bear to do it.
What should I do to keep the baby and still find you?
She prayed painfully for a whole night, but Bernard didnât appear in her dreams. She sat on the edge of the bed, contemplating for a while, and then gave herself an answer.
She would give birth to their child, send the child to the Laurence family, and then go to be with Bernard. She didnât feel anything for the baby in her belly yet. That could change in the future, but for now, she just wanted to see Bernard.
When Ethan walked into the room with a bowl of oatmeal, he expected Eleanor to be lying in bed as usual.
However, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently patting Ninaâs back. The sunlight from outside the window shone on her through the glass, making her glow. She radiated a motherly aura.
Ethan stood at the door, watching for a few seconds, then walked up to Eleanor and asked, âHave you made up your mind?â
Eleanor nodded without emotion, âHow long?â
Her voice was cold, but Ethan didnât mind, âDepends on my mood....â
Eleanorâs hand, which was stroking Ninaâs back, suddenly stopped, her expression cooling, âWhat are you trying to do?â
Ethan put down the bowl of oatmeal, bent over to look at the now-blind Eleanor, and said affectionately, âI want to see Emilia again.â
Eleanor blinked slowly, speaking in a low voice, âEven if I pretend to be her, Iâm not her. You need to understand sheâs dead.â
Ethan didnât respond to her words, but asked, âIf there was someone who looked like Bernard and had his heart, would you want him to pretend to be Bernard, or even become Bernard?â Eleanor scoffed, âThereâs only one him in this world. No matter how similar anyone else is, it has nothing to do with me.â

Ethan raised an eyebrow, âThatâs just because youâve recently lost him.â
Eleanor didnât want to argue with this l***c, and coldly stated her terms, âOne month. Iâll play along with your madness. After that, let me go back to my country.â
She knew Ethan didnât keep his word just like he had promised not to use her as a substitute before, but still did.
She was choosing to compromise now, waiting for her eyes to recover and her body to regain strength before planning her escape.
Ethan stared at her for a moment, then nodded, âOkayâ
Eleanor saw him agree and touched her long hair, adding another condition, âDonât cut my hair.â
This was the long hair she kept for Bernard. No one was allowed to touch it! Ethan glanced at her waist-length curls and casually agreed again.
Eleanor thought for a moment, then said, âAnd donât touch me!â
Ethan rolled his eyes at her, âEven if you begged me, I wouldnât touch you!â
Eleanor held Nina tighter, relieved to some extent, and didnât say anything else.
Ethan, however, chuckled nonchalantly He had predicted that Eleanor would agree to his terms when George lied to her about being pregnant. But what Ethan wanted wasnât just for her to pretend to be Emilia for a month, but for a lifetime At a hospital in A City.
