A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 183
These days, Eleanor spent more time asleep than awake. Even when she woke up, she could hardly speak a few words before falling back into slumber.
Jason sat by her bedside, not moving an inch. His pale face was covered in messy stubble, making him look completely exhausted
Hailey tried to convince him to get some rest, but he refused. Knowing that she couldn’t change his mind. Hailey left him alone.
Fearing that Eleanor might want something light to eat when she woke up, Hailey wanted to prepare some food for her.
She told Jason that she was going to buy some food and then left the ward.
Not long after Hailey left, Eleanor woke up. The swelling in her limbs made it impossible for her to move around.
She could guess that her face must be swollen and ugly now.
She could feel Jason’s firm grip on her hands, which made her heart sk ip a beat for a moment.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and h oar sely said, “Garett has the sun risen yet?”
Jason nodded, but then realized that she couldn’t see, so he gently replied, “Yes, the sun has risen..”
His eyes, now red, looked out the window. It was snowing heavily outside, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
But every time Eleanor woke up these days, the first thing she would ask was about the sun.
She must’ve really wanted to see the sun, but since she couldn’t, she could only ask if it was out.
Upon hearing that the sun was up. Eleanor slowly turned her head and looked through the window. Her unfocused eyes seemed to see a ray of sunlight shining in, warming her heart…
“Garett, was the weather like this when you found me?”
“Yes, it was sunny with blue sky. You were lying in the bushes, and I saw you right away.”
Garett found her in the bushes when he was 5 years old, playing with a kite outside the orphanage. Without any hesitation, he took her back.
From the moment he picked her up, he was destined to dedicate his life to her.
Hearing Jason’s description, Eleanor couldn’t help but smile.
In her dreams, she saw a woman standing in the sun, reaching out her hand, as if to say “Eleanor, Mom is here to take you home”
Perhaps it was her real mother who had once left her in the sun, reluctant yet helpless to leave..
Or maybe it wasn’t her mother at all. Maybe she just desperately wanted a mother, so she conjured up a maternal figure in her dreams.
After all, she had never experienced a mother’s or a father’s love in her life.
Coming into the world alone and leaving alone would always leave some regrets..
