Chapter 471
The guy glanced down at the chat box and slowly looked up at her.
“Are you worried about me?”
His voice was lazy and casual, as if he was deliberately tempting her to say what he wanted to hear.
Eleanor didn’t fall for it, she just stared at him, sizing him up.
His deep, bright eyes were now free of redness, but still carried a hint of pale crimson.
His thin lips were covered in her lipstick, concealing their original color, but his stunning cheeks looked
unusually pale.
Seeing him like this, Eleanor’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. Her lips parted slightly, about to
speak, when he suddenly leaned in.
His unique, refreshing scent hit her face, making Eleanor’s heart tremble and she unconsciously
leaned towards the car window.
Her back had just touched the window when she saw his neatly trimmed fingertips glide across her
cheek and brace against the window.
With her surrounded, the man lowered his eyes, “Eleanor, answer me.”
His handsome face got closer and closer to her, and Eleanor’s gaze fell right into his starry eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe twin kling stars in his eyes gradually entered hers, making her nod involuntarily without being
tempted.”
He gently pursed his lips, a small smile appearing, “Eleanor, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
His voice was clear and strong, falling on her ears like a spell that could calm her down.
After confessing his feelings, the phrase he said the most to her was “Eleanor, don’t worry.”
Eleanor reached out, wanting to touch his cheek like she did in the W City, but lost her courage as she
got closer to him.
She slightly retracted her fingers, intending to let go, but he held her hand tightly.
He held her hand gently against his cheek, “Eleanor, don’t be afraid.”
Don’t be afraid to touch him, to love him, or to start over with him; he would give her the most unique
love in the world.
After a few seconds of silence, her fingers spread out on his face, feeling his unusually cold
temperature, Eleanor furrowed her brow.
“Are you really okay?” She asked.
Bernard covered her small hand with his large palm and shook his head at her.
“I’m fine.” He said.
“Have you seen a doctor?” Eleanor asked.
Bernard didn’t answer, his beautiful eyes fixed on Eleanor, as if trying to find a hint of love in her
expressions.
Eleanor realized that he wasn’t answering and lowered her head, not asking any more questions.
Bernard took her phone, found Liana’s number in the contacts, called and put it on speaker.
Eleanor was puzzled when he suddenly called Liana, “Why are you calling Liana?”
Bernard lowered his head and gently touched her cheek with his tall nose, “Don’t you believe me when
I say I’m fine?”
The meaning of his words was that Liana knew his condition, and having Liana tell her directly would
ease her doubts. However, she would feel embarrassed to use her own phone to call Liana and ask
about his health.
“I believe you, give me my phone!” She said.
Eleanor tried to grab her phone back, but he reacted faster, swinging his long arm back, making it
impossible for her to get it. Eleanor’s face turned red with anger, and at that moment, Liana answered,
“Hello, Eleanor, what’s up?”
Hearing Liana’s voice, Eleanor could only take her gaze off Bernard and look at the phone screen, “I, I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdialed the wrong number.”
Bernard turned his head and raised his thick eyebrows slightly, “Hmm?”
Liana, who was doing rounds with a group of doctors, stopped in surprise when she heard Bernard’s
voice from Eleanor’s phone. After standing still for a few seconds, she quickly took her hand out of her
white coat pocket and waved to the doctors behind her. After the doctors left the rounds, she hurried to
a hidden corner, covering the phone and whispered, “Eleanor, are you with Mr. Laurence?” Liana
deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that Bernard would hear, which made Eleanor helpless, “Yeah, I
dialed the wrong number, I’ll
hang up.”
After saying that, she wanted to press the end call button, but Bernard grabbed her hand.
He forcibly intertwined their fingers and calmly said to Liana, “She’s worried about my health; you tell
her.”
The cold voice from the other end of the phone startled Liana, but she quickly understood the deeper
meaning of his words.
With one hand in her pocket and the other holding the phone, a playful smile crossed Liana’s lips,
“Oh…”
