Aidyn and Caleb were cleaning up the blood on the floor and when they saw Eleanor barging in the two

She didn’t leave?
Eleanors bright eyes moved past the blood on the floor and focused on the man lying in bed, airenity
deep sleep
His strong sturdy back had been cleaned treated with medicine, but left unwapped, and the dense knife
wounds could be seen at a glance. The sheets underneath him, perhaps not yet changed, were soaked
in blood dripping onto the floor
Seeing the usually cold aloot, and untouchable man now weak ke a child, Eleanor panicked.
She staggered to the bedside, squatted down, and reached out a shaking hand wanting to much those
wounds but fearing she might cause him pain
After some tentative a strokes, she placed her hand on his perfectly sculpted arm, ever so lightly
touching him
Feeling the touch. Bernard woke up and instinctively grabbed her hand, even though he was still half

“Bernard it’s me”
His eyes were foggy, but his ears were sharp. Hearing her voice, he immediately let go
His gaze was as cold as a hawks but softened considerably when he focused on her
“You didn’t leave?”
Eleanor saw his eyes open, and tears instantly fell
“How could leave when you’re hurt like this?”
Bernard saw her tear–streaked face and sighed gently
He hadnt wanted to worry her, which was why he hadn’t told her Yet shed still found out
The man bore the pain, reached out and gently caressed her face
“Hey don’t cry”
The one hurt was him, yet he was the one comforting her. This only made Eleanor cry more.
Seeing the wounds on his back, she couldn’t imagine what he’d gone through, but she could imagine
the pain he was in
That pain made her so heartbroken that she dared not even touch him, afraid that she might hurt him.
“Is it painful
Her sobbing voice was nasal, making Bernard’s heart ache–not from his wounds, but from seeing her
cry
“Tve taken painkillers. It doesn’t hurt anymore, don’t worry”
The pain was indeed unbearable when he was on his way back to Laurence Manor. The doctor had
treated his wounds, and the pain had reduced.
Besides, he’d grown up getting injured and enduring pain, how could he not handle this?
It was precisely because he was too strong, too indifferent to his own life, that Eleanor worned so much
She tightly held his hand, crying. “You’re such an idiot, risking your life for me over and over again”
Everyone said that Bernard loved her, loved her enough to risk his life for her. And it was indeed true
But she didn’t want Bernard to love her this much because the was terrified he might one day truly give
up his life for her.
Seeing her cry, so hard, Bernard was at a loss. All he could do was wipe away her tears.
“Eleanor don’t cry, my injures have nothing to do with you. There was some issue within the company”
Eleanor looked at him with tear–filled eyes.
“Diant Casey hurt you?”
“How could he hurt me?”
The man scoffed recalling something unpleasant, his eyes suddenly cold and wild
Seeing his eyes full of murderous intent, Eleanor quickly asked who had hurt him, but Bernard didn’t
tell her, wanting to protect her
He didn’t want to talk and Eleanor didn’t want to push, but the horrifying knife wounds still made her

“How can there be such cruel people in the world, using a knife to cut your back over and over again?”
No. Bernard was so powerful, how could anyone get close to him? Unless he let them.
Eleanor was frightened by her own thought, but also thought it might be possible.
She looked up, her eyes swollen and red at the silent Bernard
“Bernard, tell me, did you run into some trouble?”
Seeing her overthinking. Bernard quickly reassured her
*Theres nothing that could trouble me You don’t need to worry I can handle it”
Eleanor looked at him, and after a while she felt he wasnt lying She then grabbed his hand again,
placing it over her heart
“Bernard, can you take better care of yourself from now on?”
Regardless of who had hurt him turd time if only he cared more about himself he wouldn’t have to risk
his life for her
The man responded firmly cant Youll always be my number one”
in other words, she waymore important than himself and Eleanor was both moved and helpless “You
are like this, how should repay you‘ The man didn’t want to see her cry anymore, his tone playfully
lightened,
“Wait till I recover, let me love you a few more times.”
