Chapter 451
“I seriously don’t get it!”
Eleanor clenched her fists tightly, staring at the man in front of her with anger in her eyes.
“You forced me with a fake identity, making me believe that I was violated by a stranger.
That indescribable feeling of discomfort tortured me, making it hard for me to let go.
And you’ve been hiding the truth on purpose, not mentioning it at all. Have you ever thought about how
I feel?”
Her words pierced Bernard Laurence’s ears like needles.
“Eleanor, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just that so many things happened between us after you
came back.
All I could think about was how to win you back, and I completely forgot about the whole Mr. Law thing.”
After saying that, he hugged the furious Eleanor tightly once again.

Eleanor struggled to push him away, but she couldn’t resist his strength, and her petite body trembled.
Bernard raised his fingers and gently stroked her back, soothing her.
“Eleanor, this is also a mistake I made back then. You can blame me, hate me, it’s alright. But please
don’t be angry, okay? Your health is not good.”
He spoke softly to comfort her.
But Eleanor wasn’t buying it, “The best way to care for me is to let me go.”
Bernard shook his head slightly, his deep voice filled with sadness, “Eleanor, I can’t let you go. If I
could, I wouldn’t be living in such pain.”
Hearing this, Eleanor lifted her head from his embrace and looked at the man holding her tightly, “If it’s
so painful, why did you come looking for me?”
Time would fade everything if they never met again, healing the wounds in their hearts. Why bother
entangling themselves like this, torturing each other?
Bernard stiffened, his exhausted eyes filled with bloodshot veins, “Eleanor, do you not care about me at
all anymore?”
Still angry, Eleanor clenched her fists and bluntly said, “That’s right, I don’t care at all!”
After saying that, she tried to push Bernard away again, and this time, she easily broke free from his
embrace.
She didn’t even glance at him as she turned to open the door. But before her hand touched the
doorknob, there was a sudden ‘thud‘
behind her.
The sound of something heavy falling made her instinctively turn back, just in time to see Bernard
collapsed on the floor, his face pale and bloodless.
Eleanor’s heart tightened, and she quickly approached, trying to help him up. But he stopped her with a
raised hand,
“Eleanor, I’m fine, just a bit of a headache, don’t worry.”

Seeing him like this, some of the anger in Eleanor’s heart inexplicably faded.
“What’s wrong with you?”
She squatted down, looking at the man rubbing his temples in a daze.
“Probably just too exhausted.”
Bernard saw the worry in her eyes and knew that her earlier statement of not caring was just said in
anger.
He smiled slightly, but also worried that she would be overly concerned, so he endured the physical
discomfort and stood up from the ground.
After steadying himself, he picked her up and placed her on the sofa, reaching out to touch her slightly
dazed face.
“Eleanor, I came to see you because there’s something I need to talk to you about. Can you give me
some time to explain everything, please?”
His voice was pleading, as if there was something urgent he needed to clarify with her.
