A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279
Seeing Eleanor express her gratitude, Liana felt even guiltier, and the past incident still weighed heavily on her mind.
But in front of Jason, even though Liana had a lot to tell Eleanor, she didn’t blurt it out right away
She chatted briefly with Eleanor, then started examining Jason’s legs to check the muscle atrophy.
With Jason’s leg nerves already deceased, the chances of him walking again were exceedingly slim. The primary objective now was to prevent excessive
muscle atrophy.
After the examination, Eleanor couldn’t wait to ask Liana, “Dr. Terrill, how are his legs? When can he stand up?”
Liana was about to tell the truth, but Jason, sitting in his wheelchair, clenched his fist, coughed on purpose, and used his eyes to signal her not to say it.
Liana frowned, not understanding why Jason wanted to hide it from Eleanor. She hesitated for a moment, then told Eleanor, “Why don’t you ask him?”
Liana didn’t want to hide the truth anymore. From now on, she would let the patients face this kind of issue themselves
Eleanor glanced at Jason and realized he had been deceiving her.
However, she didn’t expose Jason; rather, she asked Liana, “Dr. Terrill, is there any way to treat him?”
Liana looked at Jason, only giving the harsh answer, “It’s untreatable,” after he nodded in agreement.
Eleanor’s face turned pale, and her guilt deepened.
Jason saw Eleanor’s expression and quickly comforted her, “Eleanor, don’t worry. I’m used to being in a wheelchair, and it’s alright.”
Eleanor took a deep breath and seemed to make a decision. She promised Jason, “Garett, no matter how long you’re in the wheelchair, I’ll be by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Liana frowned slightly as she heard this. If Ms. Shultz was going to take care of Jason for her whole life, what would happen to Mr. Laurence?
Jason was stunned, not knowing how to face Eleanor’s vow.
He knew very well that her desire to take care of him stemmed from her overwhelming guilt…
Though guilt wasn’t love, he couldn’t resist the urge to keep her by his side.
This contradiction tore him apart, making him feel as if he were shrouded in darkness, sinking into an abyss.
In the end, he released his clenched fist and chose silence. After loving Eleanor for so many years, he figured he could be selfish just this once. Eleanor didn’t notice Jason’s emotional shift. She picked up her phone, smiled at him, and said, “Garett, let me deal with something first, and I’ll bring Hailey to see you.”
With that, Eleanor prepared to go talk to Ethan. Seeing her leave, Liana followed with her medical bag.
As they walked out of the villa together, Eleanor said, “Dr. Terrill, I’ll grab a taxi home. I’ll visit you at the hospital when I have time.”
Liana stopped Eleanor, who was reaching for her phone, and said with a smile, “Ms. Shultz, ride in my car. I’ll take you home.”
Eleanor seemed acutely aware that getting into Liana’s car would only lead to trouble, so she politely declined, insisting, “No thank you, I’d prefer to grab a cab home.”
Seeing her insistence, Liana didn’t push further but gently asked, “Ms. Shultz, can I say a few words?”
Eleanor called a car on her phone and then looked up at Liana, “If it’s about him, I don’t want to hear it.”
Liana found it difficult to say what she intended, but she still summoned the courage to try. “Ms. Shultz, actually, Mr Laurence
“Dr. Terrill,” Eleanor interrupted her. Tve already talked to him about it, so let’s not bring him up again”
