Chapter 259


    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 suddenlyughed coldly: “I didn’t want to live in the first ce.”


    Cedric’s expression froze, and he thought of Bernard almost being tortured to death by Donna


    Laurence-Stanley when he was a kid. He couldn’t help but sigh


    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 ss and stared at the red liquid, asking Cedric, “Why is the


    wine bitter?”


    Cedric nced 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 cannote 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 transnt surgery for Ms. Shultz…”


    Aidyn briefly exined 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.”


    Cedric 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 oue but didn’t expect George to be the one to save Eleanor


    Seeing his confusion, Aidyn quickly exined, “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


    Clowersmitted 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 toe back and see Garett


    She really loved Garett…


    And to her, he was… nothingConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
