Chapter 890
Seeing Bernard massaging his temples like he used to, Eleanor rushed over nervously and grabbed his
arm. “Honey, is your headache acting up again?”
Bernard’s head was indeed throbbing but he didn’t want to worry her So he quickly dropped his hand
and tried to brush it off “I’m not in pain, just a bit tired. Don’t overthink
it”
He had a brain tumor before. How could Eleanor not worry? “If you’re not feeling well, you have to tell
me. Don’t hide it from me.”
Bernard nodded with a conflicted and hesitant look on his face. It seemed like he was torn between
keeping her in the dark and sharing the truth with her
Eleanor had been with Bernard for so many years that she could predict his every move. Now, just

himself. It suggested that his birth mother was related to her.
Eleanor thought back to when Blake insisted on divorce after discovering she was from the Pine family.
She had assumed it was due to a family feud, but it seemed there
was more to it.
After Bernard had a talk with Blake in the study, he seemed to have fallen into despair. He hesitated
even when touching her, overcoming difficulty to do so. The old Bernard never hesitated when touching
her
Now just mentioning his birth mother, he immediately left her, as if he dared not touch her anymore…
All these signs made Eleanor wonder could they be siblings?
Eleanor thought of this because she once told Bernard that she would never leave him for any reason
unless they were siblings.
At that time, Bernard’s body stiffened noticeably, as if he had been hit right on the spot. He
subconsciously averted his gaze, not daring to look at her.
When Eleanor connected all these doubts, she turned to look at Bernard, who was avoiding her gaze.
His eyes were hiding complex emotions.
“Is your mother from the Pine family?”
Upon hearing this, Bernard’s blood seemed to run cold.
His shock was even greater than when Donna admitted that she was the one who switched Dominic’s
medication.
He sat there, motionless, his face gradually turning pale. Would she leave him after knowing the truth?
Seeing him like this, Eleanor knew she was right: “How could you not tell me about this?”
Bernard looked up at her weakly and said, “If I told you, what would you do? Leave me?”
Eleanor frowned. “If you really are from the Pine family, it does involve ethical issues. I indeed have

Before she could finish, Bernard put a finger on her mouth and said, “Stop talking: I can’t leave you.
Don’t think about this anymore.”
Eleanor’s eyes slowly widened. Even though she knew there was a relationship between them, he still
didn’t want to divorce her; he even wanted to hide everything and live a lifetime like this. Her husband
seemed to have little moral sense.
Not only did Bernard lack moral sense, but he was also anxious and uneasy because she had
discovered this. “Whether you can accept the truth or not, you must stay with me. I can’t live without
you”
She was used to his intense dominance, but in her previous understanding, Bernard was willing to give
everything for her. Now she knew his love for her went far beyond
that
After all, he had once become the third party for her; now he had abandoned morality. Would he even
risk his life for her in the future?
