A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 213

Seven days after Eleanor’s death, Jason returned to A City

He went to Hailey’s apartment with a bag of documents in hand

Halley had just frished preparing a bunch of Eleanor’s favorite dishes, placing them on the table when Jason showed up.

After he walked in, he glanced at the food on the table and asked Halley with a hint of surprise, “What’s with all the food?”

With some sadness in her eyes, Halley replied, “I heard that today, the loved ones who have passed away for seven days will come back. Eleanor didn’t get to eat the soup I bought her before she passed away she must’ve been hungry for a few days. So, I prepared more food for her just in case.”

Hearing this, Jason’s face turned pale, as pain gripped him so bad he couldn’t breathe.

Eleanor had indeed left this world without eating or even drinking a drop of water.

Remembering Cleanor’s dismal departure, Jason felt wobbly and had to lean on the dining chair to strady himself.

Seeing him like this, Haley immediately suggested he take a seat and then went to the kitchen to get a bowl and utensils. Setting them aside, she said. “Let’s eat with her.”

Looking pale, Jason nodded and took the utensils Hailey handed him. But as he brought the food to his mouth, he couldn’t taste anything.

uldn’t taste

Neither could Hailey but she forced herself to eat. She had to gather strength for the vengeance she planned against Austin and his accomplice!

After a few bites, Jason put down his fork and handed the bag of documents to Haley.

“Hailey, these are all the immovable properties I own, and I’ve transferred them all under your name.”

“As for the non–immovable ones, I’ve transferred them to your bank account. You can check the specific amount later.”

“You don’t have to work at that nightclub anymore- take good care of yourself and don’t get too tired.

Hailey grew more and more uneasy, feeling that he was leaving his last words behind. “What are you going to do?” she asked.

Jason calmly smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I just promised Eleanor I’d take good care of you. But as you know, managing the Clowers Group leaves me no time to look after you. The least I could do is give you some money

He finished with a hint of remorse in his eyes, 1 should’ve taken care of the two of you as soon as I returned to the Clowers Group, but I lost my memory, causing you and Eleanor to suffer for five years.”

He had found out that Eleanor had sold her body to pay for his surgery and borrowed a sum of money from VitaLife Global for the follow–up treatment.

For the past five years, Eleanor lived frugally under her massive debt, always trying to save money.

Hailey had to sell alcohol day and night at the nightclub, cften bulied by lowlife customers. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As a child, Jason promised to shoulder the responsibility of looking after them. However, he broke that promise.

Each time he thought about this, he felt so guilty that it kept him up at night. He wished he could go back and slap his past self.

Hailey didn’t care about any of that and comforted him, “Even if you hadn’t returned to the Clowers family, Eleanor and I would’ve managed just fine and wouldnt have needed your help”

After finishing her sentence, she handed the bag back to Jason, “So take all these back, I can eam my own money.”

But Jason insisted, “Hailey, just take it. Consider it as compensation for the past few years.”

At a loss for words to refuse him, Hailey hesitated. Just then she saw Jason stand up, ready to leave.

“Where are you going?”

Jason looked back at Hailey, smiling, Tm going to visit her in the cemetery

For some reason, Hailey felt uneasy upon seeing his smile.

Watching Jason walk away, she couldn’t help but say, “Garett, you’re the only family I have left in this world. Please don’t do anything stupid.”

Jason’s eyes welled up with tears when he heard those words, but he didn’t turn around and just waved to Hailey.

It seemed like a silent reassurance, but still, he walked away without looking back..
