Chapter 181
When Hailey thought about Eleanor saying not to blame him, she didn’t say anything more and turned
to fetch water, leaving him alone.
Jason stood at the door, looking at the frail, petite figure on the bed, with mist gradually filling his eyes.
He tried to steady his shaking body, clenched his fists, and took heavy steps towards the bed.
Eleanor, who couldn’t see, felt someone approaching and thought Hailey was back, so she reached out
for her clothes,
“Hailey…”
Before she could grab the clothes, her hand was caught by another larger hand.
The hand that gripped her tightly was trembling slightly, as if there were so many words for him to say,
but he couldn’t find the words, so it just held her hand tightly.
Eleanor realized that it was a man’s hand, and Bernard’s handsome face flashed in her mind, but she
didn’t think it could be him.

Jason didn’t expect that she could recognize him, and after recognizing him, she didn’t shake off his
hand.
This made him feel even more guilty and pained. He squeezed her hand tightly and sat down next to
the bed.
He didn’t speak, touching Eleanor’s cheek.
Eleanor didn’t push him away, letting him touch her with a calm heart.
After a few minutes, Jason finally spoke with a h o ar se voice, “Eleanor…”
He gently called her name as if calling out to a loved one, full of tenderness and reluctance.
“Hmm.”
Eleanor responded, then asked softly, “Why did you come back?”
Jason forced a bitter smile, “For some reason, I was worried, so I came back to check on you…”
He had been feeling restless lately, his heart pounding as if something had happened, so he couldn’t
help but come back to look for
her.
He had waited at her apartment all night, but no one answered the door. He called her and Hailey, but
no one picked up the phone, so he had to go to Liana to find out she was in the hospital.
He was glad he came, or he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, her illness was
his doing….
Holding her hand, he placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, “Eleanor, I’m sorry…”
Before he came in, Eleanor had guessed that he had heard her conversation with Hailey.
Now facing his apology, she had no feelings left for it. Maybe being close to death made her let go of a
lot.
She used to be unable to let go of anything, but now she felt that life was short and should be enjoyed
in time.
With a slight smile, she comforted him, “I had a heart condition, to begin with, don’t blame yourself…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason shook his head and, with guilt in his eyes, “Eleanor, I will make it up to you.”
Hearing such a solemn promise, Eleanor frowned slightly.
Jason always kept his word, and if he promised to make it up for her, he would.
Although she didn’t know what he would do for her, none of that really mattered to her now.
She tried her best to squeeze his hand gently, “Garett, all you need to do is stay healthy, and that’ll be
the best way to make it up to me.”
Jason shook his head, his eyes flashing with stubborn determination, as if he had made some sort of
decision but didn’t want to tell her.
Eleanor didn’t have the energy to worry about his thoughts anymore, her dim eyes blurred as she
looked at him.
“Garett, I can’t see you clearly anymore.”
“But in my memory, you’ve always been the purest boy.”
“I will remember you at your best, and will you remember me at my most beautiful?”
Jason, with tears in his eyes and a choke in his voice, said, “I will.”
Eleanor smiled, still with grace and serenity, “Can you go back to B City then? I don’t want you to see
me after I’ve passed.”
