Chapter 289


    Eleanor’s eyes, filled with tears, gradually revealed a relieved smile, “Dr. Terrill, please tell him for me


    that I forgive him, but I can’t go back to him


    anymore…


    Liana raised her eyebrows slightly. “Is it because of Garett?”


    Eleanor’s eyes were downcast, as if immersed in the memories of the past, “Dr. Terrill, do you know


    how I grew up? It was Garett who worked hard to make money and bought me medicine non–stop. It


    wasn’t just for merely a year, but nearly twenty years. Ever since I was a kid, when everyone else


    abandoned me, only he and Hailey didn’t give up on me. They scrimped and saved to heal my heart


    problem. Since I promised to take care of him for the rest of my life, how can I let him down again.”


    After saying these two sentences, she turned around and left the cafe.


    The sky had suddenly started pouring, and the heavy rain caught Eleanor off guard.


    She even forgot to call a taxi, just lowering her head and stepping on the rainwater. Liana chased her


    out with an umbre, but Eleanor had already. disappeared.


    From afar, the man in the car saw Eleanor leave the cafe and Liana chase after her. His face turned


    serious.


    He called Liana, “Did you say something to her?”


    Liana nodded slightly, “Mr. Laurence, she knows everything now.”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Eleanor stood by the side of the road, mechanically hailing a taxi. But not a single car stopped, instead


    sshing her with water.


    She raised her hand to wipe the mud off her face and continued to walk forward with her bedraggled


    body.


    Before long, her high heels got stuck in a crack in the road.


    She squatted down to pull her high heels out, but she used too much force, causing her whole body to


    fall backward. Inevitably, shended on her butt in a puddle.


    Cars and people hurried by, everyone holding umbres in the pouring rain. But only she sat there in


    the rain, helpless, with rain and tears mixing on her face.


    She sat still, hugging her arms, burying her head in the crook of her elbow, and curled up like a child.


    No one knew how long it took, an umbre suddenly appeared above her head.


    Eleanor slowly looked up at the exquisitely beautiful face. Just like that rainy night eight years ago, he


    came to her side when she was at her most helpless.


    With a ck umbre held over her head, as if to shield her from all the storms.


    He still stretched out his well–defined hand to her, signaling for her to stand up with his help. But this


    time, unlike eight years ago, Eleanor didn’t put her hand in his palm.


    She just stared at his scarred right hand, and tears inexplicably fell.


    Bernard saw this, bent down on one knee in front of her, and used his slender fingers to wipe away the


    tears from the corner of her eyes.


    “Don’t be sad. From now on, no one will bother you again. After saying this, he handed her the


    umbre and left.


    As she watched his tall, straight retreating figure disappear into the rain, Eleanor’s tears welled up


    again.


    “Bernard, thank you for loving me so much.” Eleanor said.


    Bernard was taken aback by her words. Ten years of a rtionship, only to receive a simple “thank


    you” which meant a permanent farewell.


    After learning the truth, Eleanor finally forgave him andpletely let him go.


    Bernard stood still for a long time, then walked away without looking back.


    Eleanor, thank you for forgiving me and letting me realize that some mistakes can never be made up


    for…
