Chapter 259
Cedric used to worry the most about Bernard falling for Eleanor.
After a few tests and finding out Bernard didn’t love her, he stopped worrying about it.
But who would have thought that after Eleanor’s death, Bernard would try to cut his wrists and
overdose on pills for her sake?
Now he’s just been saved, and the moment he woke up, he pulled out the IV and went home to drink
like there’s no tomorrow. He really didn’t care about his health anymore
Bernard didn’t even hear what Cedric said, and gestured with his bony fingers: “give it to me.”
Cedric held the bottle tight: “If you keep drinking like this, you’ll be dead in no time. No more drinking.”
Bernard suddenly laughed coldly: “I didn’t want to live in the first place.”
Cedric’s expression froze, and he thought of Bernard almost being tortured to death by Donna

If it wasn’t for the Laurence family, Bernard would’ve probably left this world a long time ago…
He released his grip on the bottle and handed it to Bernard: “don’t drink too much.”
After pouring the wine, Bernard held the glass and stared at the red liquid, asking Cedric, “Why is the
wine bitter?”
Cedric glanced at him and said solemnly. “Bernard, it’s because your heart is bitter that you feel the
wine is bitter.”
Bernard smiled bitterly: “So that’s how it is…”
Cedric saw the once cold-hearted man became like this for a woman, and his felt suffocated for him.
“Bernard, the dead cannot come back to life, stop doing this to yourself.”
Bernard didn’t respond, just tilted his head back and continued to drink the red wine.
Just as Cedric was about to offer more advice, Aidyn walked in from outside.
“Mr. Laurence, I found out the truth. Ms. Shultz.”
Aidyn didn’t expect Cedric to be here, and suddenly stopped talking.
But Bernard didn’t care and motioned for him to continue.
Aidyn then put a pile of documents on the bar counter.
“Mr. Laurence, you were right. Ethan bribed the crematorium staff and secretly took Ms. Shultz away”
“He did this because Ms. Shultz’s older sister, Emilia, left a dying wish to give her heart to Ms. Shultz.
That’s when Ethan rushed to the crematorium and took Ms. Shultz away”
“I also found out that it was George who performed the heart transplant surgery for Ms. Shultz…”
Aidyn briefly explained the situation and then recounted the details.
After listening, Cedric was a bit dumbfounded: “So Eleanor’s not dead?”
Aidyn didn’t shy away and nodded at him: “Not only is she not dead, she’s returned to her home
country under her sister’s identity.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric held his forehead with one hand, annoyed that Bernard knew Eleanor was alive all along but
didn’t tell him, causing him to waste his breath offering advice.
Bernard had already guessed this outcome but didn’t expect George to be the one to save Eleanor
Seeing his confusion, Aidyn quickly explained, “Dr. George and Ethan are old friends.”
Bernard nodded after understanding and asked indifferently, “Why did they get married?”
Aidyn respectfully replied, “Ethan married Ms. Shultz for Emilia’s heart. As for why Ms. Shultz agreed to
marry Ethan, it’s because…”
Aidyn hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued, “Ms. Shultz learned that Jason
Clowers committed suicide out of love and refused to believe it. She wanted to return to find Jason, but
Ethan proposed a condition – for her to marry him, or else she couldn’t go back. So she agreed ”
Bernard’s finger flipping through the documents suddenly stopped, and his handsome face turned pale.
She was willing to marry someone else just to come back and see Garett
She really loved Garett…
And to her, he was… nothing
