A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 24

Hailey was startled by Eleanor’s continuous screams and hurriedly nudged her.

“Eleanor, what’s wrong?”

Eleanor’s consciousness gradually returned, and she slowly opened her eyes, seeing only a worried Hailey, with Bernard and Garett nowhere to be found. She realized she just had a nightmare, dreaming about her past and people she’d rather not see.

Trying to shake off the images in her head, Eleanor swallowed her dry throat and tried to grab some water, only to find an IV in her arm.

“You had a high fever, so I brought you to the hospital,” Hailey said, seeing that Eleanor was all groggy. She helped her drink the water at the side.

“Hailey…”

“Yeah?”

Hailey gently responded, arranging her sweat–drenched hair and tucking it behind her ear before softly asking, “Are you hungry?”

Eleanor shook her head with difficulty. “Did the doctor tell you anything?”
