Chapter 275
After s***ng out for a while, Eleanor snapped back to reality and slowly looked at Garett’s leg. “What
about you? What’s the deal with your leg?” Garett followed her gaze, touched his c***ed leg, and said
nonchalantly, “Just a gunshot wound, no biggie”
Hearing the words “gunshot wound,” Eleanor thought about a love-suicide and guilt filled her face,
“Was it because you suicided in front of my tombstone.7′′
Garett shook his head and denied, “No, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself.
Eleanor couldn’t accept that, so she frowned and said, “Garett, we’ve known each other for so many
years. Is there anything you can’t tell me?” They were each other’s first love and had been family for
many years. Their deep bond couldn’t be erased by time.
Garett stared at her, silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, “After you passed away, I wanted to
die with you… but Bernard stopped me…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs he said this, he unconsciously glanced at Eleanor, seeing that her expression didn’t change much,
he continued, “He took the gun from my hand, and while I was determined to kill myself, I accidentally
hurt my leg during the struggle…”
Eleanor looked at him in a daze, “Why would you do something so foolish…”
Garett smiled, “Eleanor, what’s the point of living without you?”
Eleanor’s guilt magnified infinitely, making her feel extremely remorseful.
Garett was still alive, but his leg was injured, and he could no longer move freely like before.
He claimed it wasn’t her fault, but everything happened because of her.
She touched his leg with a guilty face, “I’m sorry, I caused this…”
Garett didn’t mind and gently comforted her, “Eleanor, it really has nothing to do with you. I just hurt my
leg by accident.”
Eleanor shook her head with tears in her eyes, “If I hadn’t suddenly passed away, you wouldn’t have…
Garett raised his hand to stop her from continuing. “No matter when you passed away, I would’ve
followed you”
That was always his plan, and no one could stop him, including her.
Eleanor looked at his stubbornness, feeling like her heart was being weighed down by a stone.
She stared at his legs, her guilt not diminishing but accelerating.
Garett once again ruffled her hair and said, “Don’t worry, the doctor is still treating me. Maybe I can
stand up again.”
This sentence ignited a glimmer of hope in Eleanor, “Really?”
Garett smiled and nodded, “Yeah.”
The doctor had said that the nerve was damaged and he would be paralyzed for life, but he didn’t want
to see his Eleanor continue to feel guilty.
Getting her answer, Eleanor quickly wiped away her tears and said softly, “Garett, I’ll stay by your side
and take care of you from now on.” Garett’s clear face stiffened for a moment, and his eyes
involuntarily looked at his legs…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCaring for a cr***le is hard. How could he selfishly let her atone forever?
Garett shook his head gently, “Eleanor, someone is already taking care of me. You don’t have to stay
by my side…
Hearing this, Eleanor looked at the girl still standing on the steps, “Is it her?”
Garett didn’t look back, but he could feel someone watching him.
He nodded, “Yes,”
Eleanor turned to Garett, “Has she been taking care of you for the past three years?”
Garett nodded again, and Eleanor seemed to understand something, so she stopped talking.
Seeing her silence, Garett’s heart felt tightly squeezed, causing him pain and difficulty breathing.
Just as he was about to say something, Eleanor spoke again, “Garett, are you sure you don’t need me
to stay by your side and take care of you?”
His clenched fist struggled for a long time, and finally slowly loosened, painfully replying, “No need”
Eleanor didn’t ask him anymore, stood up straight, took a step back, smiled at him, and then turned
and left.
