Chapter 123
At the sound of this, the hand resting on her neck paused for a moment.
The man grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her off the ground.
A powerful force choked her airway, causing a suffocating sensation and making her heart feel heavy
and painful.
She had a weak heart and needed to maintain enough oxygen. If she was deprived her of enough
oxygen, she would die!
Moreover, her back was injured, and it was already painful enough for her to breathe. Now her airway
was being choked…..
She tried desperately to open her mouth, trying to breathe in air.
But that big hand didn’t give her any chance, and the strength on her neck was getting stronger
gradually….
Trembling, she tried to pull the corner of Bernard’s clothes, but she had no strength.
All she could do was look at Bernard with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would have mercy and let
her go.
Seeing her face become abnormally pale, as if she were on the verge of death, Bernard quickly let go

Given the chance to breathe, Eleanor collapsed on the ground, clutching her heart, and barely
managed to speak.
“My pills…”
She needed to take her medicine as soon as possible or get oxygen immediately, or else she would
die!
She used to take a lot of medicines to control her condition before seeing Bernard..
She only had one episode in front of him these years, but he mistakenly thought she was pretending to
be sick for the sake of money.
So since then, she had been hiding her heart condition very well from Bernard. But at this moment…
She stretched out her hand to Bernard, shaking her voice for help: “… have heart disease… please…
help me…
She was not afraid to die, but the choking sensation made her desperate, forcing her to instinctively
seek help to survive.
Bernard’s indifferent eyes trembled slightly.
“Where’s the medicine?”
The medicine….
Eleanor suddenly remembered that she had taken a lot of medicines before going out, without bringing
her bag with her..
At this thought, she suddenly let go of her struggling hand. Perhaps her life would come to an end
soon, which was why the medicine was not with her so conveniently
She gave up on seeking help, turned over, and looked at the dim light above her with her hand on her
heart. The room was dark and gloomy, without a trace of light coming in, just like hell….
In a daze, she saw a delicate face appear in front of her, with light reflecting off of it.
Then the man picked her up.
Eleanor nestled in his arms, forcing her eyes to stay open and look at his flawless face.
She couldn’t see his expression clearly, but she could feel his tight embrace as if he was afraid of
losing her.
For the first time, Bernard held her in his arms in public right there in the hotel.
Eleanor became a bit addicted to his arms and couldn’t help but lean her head on his firm chest.
She just wanted to be capricious for once…..
With a cold face, Bernard quickly put her in the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophie, who was walking towards the hotel, saw Bernard holding a woman, and her face changed
immediately. She quickly walked over to him.
“Bernard, who is she?”
As soon as he saw Sophie, Bernard closed the car door, and she couldn’t see who the woman in the
car was.
She could only stare intently at the woman in the car through the thick window and coldly ask, “Who is
she?”
Bernard had proposed to her, and they had even set their engagement date. Yet, here he was, holding
another woman.
What angered her even more was that Bernard claimed to be a germaphobe and kept his distance
from women. Why would he hold others close?
Sophie’s face was filled with disbelief and anger. “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Bernard ignored her, walked around the car, got in, and closed the door
As Sophie watched his car disappear from sight at high speed, her gentle face instantly turned cold.
She took out her phone and made a call. “Immediately investigate who is the woman that accompanied
Mr. Laurence to the Grandview Hotel today!”
