A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 121

Eleanor shook her head. Her back injury wasn’t as severe as the bleeding wound on the back of his head.

“You’re pretty banged up, let’s go to the hospital.”

Eleanor’s hands were covered in his blood, the bright red color reminded her of the night when he got hit by a car five years ago.

This only made her feel more guilty – both times, he got severely injured trying to save her. She couldn’t understand why Jason was so protective of her.

“Alright”

Jason nodded, and as he carried her through the banquet hall, a few bodyguards saw them and immediately surrounded them.

Seeing how injured Jason was, the bodyguards were extremely guilty for not being able to protect him and kept apologizing.

Jason, however, didn’t care. He instructed them to take Josef to the police station before quickly heading toward the hotel lobby.

Eleanor wasn’t dressed, but luckily, Jason’s coat was large enough to cover her tiny frame.

However, she still felt a bit embarrassed and afraid that people coming in and out of the hotel would see her, so she buried her head deep in Jason’s chest.

As she hid in his arms, a group of bodyguards suddenly entered the hotel lobby, blocking their way. There were probably over twenty of them.

Jason immediately stopped and looked towards the hotel entrance there was a man getting out of a Lincoln limousine.

The man wore a black suit with a black coat, and under the dim lights, he looked like a statue.

He stood there, staring at them with cold eyes.

“Mr. Clowers.”

Hearing that familiar voice, Eleanor’s face turned pale.

She didn’t have time to think about why Bernard would be here, she just buried her head deeper in Jason’s chest. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

She thought that by doing so, he wouldn’t see her, but those cold eyes were still staring at her relentlessly.

Jason could naturally feel Bernard’s hostility, but didn’t know where it was coming from.

“Mr. Laurence, what do you want?”

He couldn’t recall ever offending Bernard, so why would he send so many bodyguards to surround them?

Bernard walked up to them and, as his gaze moved downwards, saw Eleanor’s exposed body.

His handsome face instantly turned gloomy, and even his eyes were filled with cold light.

“Hand her over to me.”

His eyes were fixated on Eleanor, not moving.

Seeing such a gaze, Jason, being a man as well, understood its meaning.

He held Eleanor tightly, took a step back, and his eyes revealed a hint of possessiveness.

“Mr. Laurence, what’s your relationship with her and why do you want me to hand her over to you?”

Bernard sneered and glanced at Eleanor before saying:

“Do you want to go with him, or with me?”

He couldn’t even be bothered to answer Jason’s question, just giving Eleanor the choice.

Eleanor felt her heart leaping to her throat as those eyes stared at her.

She thought Bernard’s visit to the hotel was for other reasons and didn’t expect it to be for her.

Eleanor was at a loss and even her gaze when looking at him was filled with confusion.

Bernard had never revealed their relationship in front of anyone before, and this was the first time.

What was going on with him?

*She doesn’t even know you, so there’s no way she’s going with you”

Jason’s hand held Eleanor tightly, as if wanting to blend her into his body.

He had already guessed the relationship between the two but didn’t want to think too deeply about it.

He was afraid that once he dived into this, he wouldn’t be able to accept it, so he chose to pretend not to know.

Eleanor sensed Jason’s uneasiness and finally regained her composure

“Mr. Laurence, I’m sorry, but I can’t go with you.”

Since Jason had just been injured for her, she needed to accompany him to the hospital for treatment. So, she gathered the courage to refuse Bernard.
