Chapter 1135
Just like that, Liana was led downstairs, dumbstruck by the sudden turn of events. Aidyn walked up to her then, “Liana”
Seeing her looking lost, Aidyn thought she was scared and quickly patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. Tyler’s gone now. No one’s gonna bother you anymore.”
Liana masked her tears, forcing a smile, “Yeah, he’s gone. No one’s gonna bother me anymore. That’s just great”
Aidyn didn’t pick up on her real feelings, thinking she was genuinely relieved. He then turned and pointed in the distance.
“Eleanor and Hailey are waiting for you over there…”
Following Aidyn’s direction, Liana saw Eleanor and Hailey standing by the boat, waiting for her.
Seeing Liana, Eleanor and Hailey quickened their pace, almost running, and embraced her. Liana felt a touch of warmth and hugged them back. But for some reason, even with their support, Liana felt her heart sinking, suffocating, and she could barely breathe.
She didn’t express her feelings, just rested her chin on Eleanor’s shoulder. She didn’t even look back when Tyler’s body was carried out.
Eleanor gently rubbed Liana’s back She knew the moment Liana ran out of the patient room that Liana felt guilty about Tyler, and had complicated feelings. Was it because she killed a man she once loved, or because the long entanglement suddenly ended, or…
Whether Liana still loved Tyler, only Liana knew Even Eleanor who knew her well couldn’t see clearly
After comforting Liana, Eleanor let her go, preparing to take her on the boat. But looking up, she saw Colter pushing Garett out of the villa gate.
Eleanor was surprised, but quickly realized that Garett was Tyler’s friend. It made sense he’d be here after hearing about Tyler’s death.
Colter was going to bypass Eleanor with Garett, but Eleanor stopped him and greeted him politely.
He greeted Hailey first, then nodded to Eleanor, acting appropriately without crossing any lines. Eleanor responded in kind.
He didn’t say much, just told Eleanor and Hailey to take good care of Liana. Eleanor told him to take care of himself. After agreeing, he let Colter push him away.
Hailey was worried about Garett and followed them.
Seeing Hailey comforting Garett as they walked, Eleanor felt relieved. With Hailey there, Garett would feel better.
After Garett boarded the boat, she took Hailey back to Bernard’s boat. Before they boarded, Bernard walked out of the cabin. He was tall, bending over to take Eleanor’s hand and helped her onto the boat.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
