Chapter 144

Jason helped Eleanor into the car first, then he got in himself.

Despite being injured, Jason picked up a clean towel to help Eleanor dry her hair.

He was very gentle, afraid of hurting her. But when he saw her exposed skin, his expression became

somewhat heavy.

His beloved Eleanor had been hurt by that jerk Bernard…

Not just once, but for five whole years. Thinking about it, Jason felt a bit dazed.

Eleanor saw him staring at her neck, and subconsciously covered it, wrapping her coat tighter around

her.

Jason quickly explained, “Eleanor, don’t get the wrong idea. I feel so useless for letting this happen to

you…”

Eleanor shook her head, “It’s not his fault, it was my choice.”

Since she signed the agreement herself, she couldn’t blame Bernard.

Jason’s heart trembled. Eleanor said it was her choice, which made it even harder for him to accept.

He didn’t continue speaking, just kept wiping her hair with the towel.

Seeing him treat her so gently, Eleanor couldn’t help but feel guilty. But some things still had to be

made clear.

“Garett, I have something to tell you…”

“Can we talk about it when we get back?”

As soon as she started speaking, Jason interrupted her.

He seemed to know what she wanted to say, but he didn’t want to hear it.

Eleanor glanced at the bandage still wrapped around his forehead, so she swallowed her words for the

time being.

Jason wanted to take her back to his villa, but Eleanor didn’t want to. She wanted to go back to Hailey’s

small apartment.

That little apartment made her feel safe. Living there, she could sleep soundly at night.

Jason had no choice but to take her back to the apartment. But he didn’t want to go upstairs, as if

fearing that once Eleanor followed him inside, she would say something to him.

Seeing this, Eleanor didn’t–rush to get out of the car either. “Garett, some things still need to be made

clear.”

She didn’t have much time left. Her injury aggravated her condition. If it weren’t for the life–saving

medicine Liana gave her, she wouldn’t have the strength to talk to him right now. So while she still had

some strength, she decided to make things clear.

“Don’t take what I said at Bernard’s villa to heart. I only said that to get out safely.”

What Eleanor was referring to was, “Now that my Garett is back and the misunderstanding is cleared, I

want to go back to him and be with.”

Jason was smart, and he understood what she was saying. But he was still a little–sad. “Why?”

She had already rejected Bernard, so why didn’t she want to come back to him? Was it because she

was still angry at him?

Eleanor looked at Jason with guilt. “I’m sorry, Garett. It’s my fault. I betrayed you first.”

A tinge of paleness appeared on Jason’s face. “You didn’t betray me. You sold yourself for me, and

everything else was just out of anger.

Eleanor said, “At first it was because I was angry, but later on, I did it willingly.”

Her nonchalant admission that she was willing made Jason feel like he was suffocating.

It was as if a giant hand was gripping his heart, making it hard for him to breathe,

“Did…did you fall in love with him?”

It took all of Jason’s strength to ask that question.

His eyes, which had just regained a bit of color, gradually turned red again.

He looked at Eleanor with hope, hoping she would deny it.

But even though Eleanor was reluctant to hurt him, this time she had to make up her mind.

“Yes, I fell in love with him…”

It was unclear whether she loved Bernard the same way she once loved Garett, or if she loved Bernard

even more.

She always felt that she had involuntarily fallen in love with Bernard, unable to forget his every move.
