Chapter 186
This time she saw it clearly, Bernard in a black suit, walking from outside the emergency room.
Just like the first time they met, he walked steadily towards her, step by step.
He stretched out his well–defined fingers towards her, bowed his head, and gently said, “Eleanor, I’m
here…”
Gentle…
He had never spoken to her gently before.
Eleanor’s consciousness gradually returned, and when she opened her eyes again, there was nothing
but endless darkness. Some say people have hallucinations before they die, and what she just saw
was merely a figment of her imagination. Deep down, she must’ve longed to see Bernard one last time,
but unfortunately, he never showed up…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that she had been waiting for Hailey and still looking at the door, Jason seemed to understand
something.
He struggled for only a few seconds before he quickly said to Liana, “Call Bernard and tell him to come
and see her for the last time!” Liana hesitated for a moment, and without thinking too much, she
immediately took out her phone and called Bernard. However, his phone was off…
Seeing Eleanor’s hopeful eyes, she quickly called Aidyn, but his phone was also off.
She put down the phone and said helplessly, “His phone is off…”
Hailey, who had been crying her heart out, also noticed that Eleanor was holding on to her last breath
waiting for Bernard.
She remembered Eleanor saying that Bernard never turned off his private phone, so she quickly said to
Liana, “Eleanor’s phone has his private number, could someone please get her phone? It’s in the paper
bag on the bedside table in her room…”
The nurse at the door heard this and immediately turned around and ran to the room, soon bringing
Eleanor’s phone back.
Liana took the phone, while swiping the unlock key, she asked Hailey, “What’s the password?”
Knowing the password, Hailey quickly told it to Liana.
After finding out that he had been blocked by Eleanor, she immediately unblocked him and called him.
Finally, the call connected this time.
Anxious, Liana muttered, “Mr. Laurence, please pick up the phone. Hurry, pick up…”
After several unsuccessful attempts, the other party remained silent, refusing to answer. Just as the
last call was about to be ended, someone finally picked up..
“Who is it? Calling repeatedly in the middle of the night. Don’t you think it’s annoying?” a woman’s
voice from the other end scolded.
In order for Eleanor to hear Bernard’s voice immediately, Liana switched the call to speakerphone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophie’s impatient voice reverberated through the emergency room.
Caught off guard, Liana didn’t know how to respond. As she remained silent, Sophie’s impatience grew,
“Mr. Laurence didn’t save your name. Who the hell are you? Calling and not speaking.”
Bit by bit, the clear and powerful voice reached Eleanor’s ears, bringing a relieved smile to her pale
face. With great effort, she parted her weak lips, motioning for Liana to hang up. Then, she gazed up at
Jason, who held her hands tightly.
“Garett… After I die… Please cremate my body immediately,” she requested. She knew he wouldn’t
have a chance to see her one last time, and she no longer had anyone in this world worth waiting for. It
was better to be cremated and leave this world sooner.
With no lingering worries, she closed her eyes in sorrow, surrounded by the cries of Hailey, Jason, and
Liana. Her weary voice whispered to them, “I’m so tired… I just want to rest for a while…”
In that moment, there was only tranquility, as if everything had turned to dust, leaving nothing behind in
the world.
