A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276

“Only by unmasking the puppet master can we destroy the Area Opaca.”

Only by destroying the Area Opaca can the members of Siren Organization live in peace forever. Because the Area Opaca’s goal is to annihilate every member of Siren Organization, including Bernard. That’s why they couldn’t afford to ignore this threat.

“So, did you replace him?”

Evan shook his head, his eyes filled with self-reproach. If only he had made the right choice, they might still have a chance.

“I thought about staying, continuing to tackle missions until I found the puppet master. But when Bernard told me to leave, I chose to do so.”

Evan knew Bernard wanted him to come back, to bring a message to Eleanor. Bernard wanted Eleanor to keep faith and live on. So, Evan had to choose between continuing a suicidal mission and delivering the message. He chose the latter, knowing it was cowardly but it was Bernard’s last wish.

“He wanted me to keep it a secret from you. I’m sorry I couldn’t.”

Eleanor understood. She nodded, her fingers slowly tightening on her knees.

Her heart was filled with grief, which was slowly being replaced by rage. This hatred spread from her heart to her face, gradually freezing her soft features.

Before Evan could leave, Katharine, having recovered from unconsciousness, forced herself back to Fiord Roundabout.

Without a word, she stormed in and slapped Eleanor. The slap was so strong it knocked Eleanor to the ground, “Your husband caused Caleb’s death!” Eleanor covered her burning cheek, her eyes red and blurry with tears as she looked at Katharine. Seeing Katharine’s face stained with tears and her body trembling with sobs, Eleanor slowly lowered her head.

Evan couldn’t face her, nor could she face Katharine. Even though Caleb didn’t die because of her, he died because of Bernard.

No one would forgive someone who caused the death of their loved one, even bystanders would lose all reason out of fear of death.

Eleanor didn’t blame Katharine, she only felt sympathy for her. After all, Caleb’s death was so tragic. He didn’t even know he was going to be a father

when he died…

“Caleb said that once he finished his last task with Bernard, he would come back to marry me.””

Katharine looked at Eleanor, who was laying on the ground, crying uncontrollably, “He said he would marry me! But because of your husband, he’ll never

come back!”

Her heart-wrenching scream caused Eleanor to turn her head away, burying her face in her arm.

Bernard also said he would come back, but he didn’t. Maybe… he never will.

She lay on the ground, curled up, her desolation even more heartbreaking than Katharine’s hysteria.

Evan wanted to help Eleanor up, but Robin Spencer beat him to it.

Robin grabbed Eleanor’s arm, helped her up, then turned to Katharine.

“Her husband didn’t come back either.”

“I know her husband didn’t come back either, I just…” Katharine touched her stomach, Caleb didn’t know I was pregnant with his child. I feel regretful, so! didn’t know what to do.”

She stared at Eleanor’s slapped red cheek, her eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

Both of them lost their loved ones. She could vent her anger on Eleanor, but Eleanor couldn’t.

Eleanor could only bear it, endure it. After all, it was her husband who caused the death of someone else’s loved one.

Katharine blamed Bernard, but Eleanor was innocent.

Perhaps realizing that hitting Eleanor was wrong, Katharine muttered an apology and ran out.

Robin let go of Eleanor’s arm, gave her a deep look, then followed Katharine out.
