A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128 

After helping Liana freshen up, they had planned to take her back to the hotel for a rest. But worried sick about Will, Liana insisted on staying at the hospital until his surgery was over. Only when the doctor announced that Will’s surgery was a success, did she let out a little sigh of relief. 

Even though Will was still knocked out from the anesthesia, Liana managed to pull herself together when she was assured he was alright. But just as she was about to leave the ward at Hailey’s urging, Bernard’s bodyguard called. 

“Mr. Laurence, Tyler is dead by gunshot.” 

Hearing this, Bemard’s face fell. He didn’t even wait for the bodyguard to finish speaking, he hung up the phone and turned to Liana, who had frozen in her tracks. 

After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Liana, Tyler… he’s dead” 

Liana’s body went rigid Whether it was fear or something else, her hands began to tremble and her knees turned to jelly. If it hadn’t been for Eleanor and Hailey supporting her, she would’ve collapsed. Her face tumed pale and her body shook uncontrollably. 

She stood there, frozen, for what felt like an eternity, until Bernard’s voice brought her back. 

“What?” 

She hadn’t heard him clearly, too shocked to process his words. It was as if the world had stopped and all she could hear was the ringing in her ears, preventing her from understanding what Bernard was saying.. 

Bernard took the phone and walked up to Liana. “The police won’t let us move his body yet. If you want to see him, you can do it before they get there.” 

Since it was a criminal case, the scene had to be secured, and with the local police on Tyler’s trail, they couldn’t just move the body. 

Liana felt dazed. It wasn’t until she heard “body” did she fully realize Tyler was dead. But he was obviously a renowned doctor, how could he…. 

When he was young, he had survived a gunshot wound in the wilderness by operating on himself. Why couldn’t he do that now?. 

Liana looked down at her hands. They were clean, no traces of blood, but for some reason, she still felt like they were covered in blood. She stared at them for a while before abruptly letting go of Eleanor and Hailey, rushing out of the ward and into the bathroom, trying desperately to wash the “blood” off her hands. But it wouldn’t come off. 

She rested her hands on the edge of the sink, looking up at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was pale, her lips colorless, and there were dark circles under her 

eyes. 

She told herself, “Liana, you’re like this because of Tyler. He’s dead now. You can live the rest of your life in peace. No one will bother you anymore.” 

No one would bother her anymore….
