Chapter 180

Hailey cried for a solid two hours, exhausting all her tears, before finally stopping. Eleanor smirked at

her and said, “I always thought of Hailey as tough and resilient. I never knew you had a vulnerable

side.”

Hailey wasn’t in the mood for jokes and asked bitterly, “Does Dr. Terrill know you can’t see?”

Eleanor casually shook her head, “No. I don’t want to bother her.”

Hearing this broke Hailey’s heart. She worried that Eleanor might believe she didn’t have much time left

and therefore didn’t care about her loss of vision. Hailey looked into Eleanor’s lifeless eyes,

suppressing her overwhelming emotions, and asked hoarsely, “Eleanor, when did you start getting

sick?”

Hailey had researched and knew that heart failure took a long time to progress to the end stage; it

couldn’t have happened suddenly. Eleanor’s heart failure must have started before the Laurence family

hurt her. Something must have occurred to cause such severe

consequences.

Eleanor believed it was time to share some information with Hailey, so she wouldn’t be completely

clueless about how she would die.

So she held back her discomfort and gently told Hailey, “Do you remember when Jason kicked me

twice five years ago?”

Hailey suddenly realized what she meant, “Were those kicks the cause of your heart failure?”

Eleanor nodded, “My unhealthy heart was damaged by his kicks. The doctors told me I would have

heart failure and should protect my heart well, maybe I could last a few years. I guess I must not have

taken good care of it, so my heart’s condition worsened…”

Feeling Hailey’s tight grip on her hand, Eleanor patted her hand to signal her to relax before continuing:

“When I recovered in B City for a while, I wanted to tell you but you were always talking about killing

Garett. So I didn’t dare say it; also, I didn’t want you to worry, so I never told you…”

Hailey understood that Eleanor’s heart failure was Garett’s fault and Bernard was now shortening her

lifespan.

Her beloved Eleanor’s short life was plagued by two men she loved, each hastening her demise.

After hurting her, both men vanished without a trace, not even leaving a word.

Did her Eleanor just come into this world to be hurt by them?

Hailey’s heart was filled with resentment, wishing she could kill those arrogant bastards.

However, Eleanor seemed less furious, as if she had already come to terms with it, “Don’t blame

Garett, he didn’t know. Besides, I could have the coronary bypass operation because he worked so

hard to earn the money for it. Without him, I wouldn’t have lived this long…”

Seeing Eleanor still defending Garett, Hailey suddenly felt it was so unfair, “Eleanor, you’re just too

kind–hearted…”

Unaffected, Eleanor lowered her eyes and didn’t make a sound, but the image of Bernard hitting her

flashed through her mind.

She and Garett had given their all to each other, but couldn’t be together because of

misunderstandings, while she treasured Bernard on her own, which was truly ridiculous.

Hailey didn’t want to hurt Eleanor with harsh words, so she didn’t mention the past and asked,

“Eleanor, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Eleanor shook her head. It didn’t matter where she felt uncomfortable now, no need to disturb the

doctors anymore.

With a heavy heart, Hailey gently touched Eleanor’s sweaty face and said, “You’re drenched in sweat

just from talking for a little while. I’ll fetch some hot water to wipe you down.”

Eleanor clenched her teeth and managed to respond, “Okay,” before losing the energy to say anything

else.

Hailey released her hand, picked up the kettle, and left the room. However, as soon as she stepped

out, she collided with a pale–looking Jason. He appeared shaken and had red eyes, as if he had been

standing there for a while.

Surprised, Halley looked at him and asked in a cold tone, “Didn’t you go back to B City? Why are you

here?”

Jason didn’t answer but raised his bloodshot eyes.

A sudden realization struck Hailey, and she exclaimed, “You heard everything Eleanor and I just talked

about, didn’t you?”

Mechanically, he nodded without uttering a word. Perhaps, now aware of the truth, he felt too ashamed

to speak.
