Chapter 1166
Liana promised Eleanor she’d video call her every day, but after 29 days, she stopped
Eleanor gripped her dead phone, feeling increasingly uneasy Something wasn’t right, and Tyler’s one month mark loomed ominously in her thoughts.
Rushing from her study, she found Bernard on a call His expression was serious, unlike any she’d seen on him before.
She paused, hesitant to interrupt, and simply observed his tall, poised stance.
“Whatever happens, don’t give up Keep trying to save lives.”
Once Bernard finished, he hung up and turned to Eleanor Seeing the anxiety and fear in her eyes, he frowned slightly.
“Is there something wrong with Liana?”
Eleanor stepped on the plush carpet, walking slowly towards Bernard. Up close, she could see the regret flashing in his eyes
Bernard didn’t want Eleanor to worry, but she was bound to find out. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded slightly
“She killed herself.”
“The cops in Panama called. Liana turned herself in then shot herself. By the time they got there, she was lying in a pool of blood, no signs of life”
Bernard wouldn’t give up. He insisted they try to save her, but the bullet had even penetrated the glass window. It was too late.
Heaning about Liana’s suicide, Eleanor froze. Her feet felt cold on the carpet, as if she were in a freezer. She felt so cold…
Bernard saw her go pale and quickly pulled her into his arms, stroking her back gently.
“It was Liana’s choice.”
It was her choice, no one could have stopped her, not even Eleanor, who had tried so hard to warm Liana’s heart.
Because, from the start, they had overlooked one thing. Liana was still in love with Tyler. It was love that drove her to choose death.
If they had known from the start that Liana was still in love with Tyler, they might have been able to save her. But there were no “ifs“. Liana had always acted like she didn’t love him
Eleanor leaned into Bernard’s chest, clutching his shirt. A mix of guilt, regret, and heartbreak welled up inside her, and she couldn’t stop the tears.
If only she had gone with Liana to the clinic, Liana might not have taken her own life, and Eleanor wouldn’t have heard this devastating news…..
But Liana loved Tyler so much. After his death, she didn’t show any sadness. She calmly arranged everything, went to Panama to fulfill Tyler’s last wish, and planned to be buried with him.

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...
