Chapter 573


    As Eleanor was heading upstairs, a gunshot made her jump out of her skin. She grabbed the railing to


    steady herself


    She quickly climbed the stairs and through the crowd, catching sight of the scene in the ss room Her


    face turned pale in an instant.


    She instinctively looked at Bernard, who was sting away with his gun. Seeing his trembling hand


    holding the gun, she knew he was falling apart


    She wanted to rush over to Bernard, but Ethan grabbed her wrist and said, “Let him see it for himself,


    or it’ll haunt him forever”


    This kind of thing true or false, will stick like a thorn in his heart, making him suspicious and paranoid


    over time


    Eleanor, who didn’t grasp Ethan’s deeper meaning, gave him a fierce re, saying. “He’s already


    traumatized by this kind of thing, and you’re just making it worse. That’s just cruel”


    Ethan snorted, Tm cruel?”


    He slowly dropped his mocking smile, looking at Bernard’s back with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.


    “At least what he saw was fake, what I saw was real”


    After whispering those words, he lowered his gaze to the surprised Eleanor,


    “You tell me, who’s the real cruel one?”


    The jealousy in his eyes gradually turned to despair.


    What Ethan meant was that he had seen Emilia doing such things with other men


    So, the more he loved Emilia, the more he hated her, hating her so much that he’d rather live in agony


    than follow her in death.


    Eleanor didn’t know what kind of grudges existed between him and Emilia


    All she knew was that Ethan was now overshadowed by darkness and seemed to have lost hope in life.


    She even felt that Ethan wanted to die but was afraid that he would see Emilia in the afterlife.


    He didn’t want to see Emilia, but he missed her madly. This contradictory feeling was torturing him


    mentally


    As Eleanor opened her mouth to say something, there was a loud bang, and the ss room was


    shattered by Bernard.


    The man stepped in with his gun, kicking the guy on the bed to the floor with his heavy boots.


    He hooked the woman’s chin with his gun.


    Seeing her face, the darkness in Bernard’s heart disappeared, and the vines binding him broke free


    “Bernard!”


    Eleanor’s soft voice came from behind, making his trigger finger pause.


    He slowly lifted his head, looking at Eleanor, who was walking steadily towards him through the crowd.


    She was wrapped in a beige coat, with snowkes on her head and a faint smite on her fair face


    Her clear, bright eyes reflected his figure as if he were the only one in her world


    Watching her walk up to him, Bernard felt as if he had found the antidote to his nightmare


    He put away his gun, took off his coat, and wrapped it around Eleanor.


    Then he pulled her tightly into his arms and said, “It’s so cold; why didn’t you stay at home and rest?”


    Eleanor lifted her head from his chest and said, “I woke up and didn’t see you. I was worried something


    might have happened to you, so I came to find you.”


    After her soft reply, her gaze shifted to the woman on the bed, covered in nkets


    Seeing the face so simr to hers, Eleanor’s breath hitched: “She does look a lot like me. No wonder


    she fooled you”Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
