A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167 

Bernard, Eleanor, Aidyn and the gang made a midnight dash to Panama, where they found Liana, sitting by a floor–to–ceiling window, looking eerily like Tyler. She was seeking redemption in her own way, telling both the living and the dead that she loved him. 

When Aidyn saw Liana, who had already passed away, he fell to his knees in agony. He was usually a tough nut to crack, but now he was crying like a baby 

“Liana, it’s all my fault I should have taken better care of you, protected you. If I hadn’t screwed up as your cousin, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. I brought this disaster upon you, made you the scapegoat. I’m to blame for all of this.” 

Aidyn slapped himself, hard Jill Naylor, nearby, quickly intervened, grabbing his arm and sinking down beside him, tears streaming silently 

Eleanor released Bernard’s hand and approached Liana, her eyes fixed on Liana’s lifeless features. She couldn’t find words. 

Just a month prior, Liana had been joyfully running on the beach with Nina, her laughter infectious and her skirt dancing in the wind. How could someone so full of life be gone just like that? 

Struggling with disbelief, Eleanor knelt and gently caressed Liana’s face. It was cold and stiff, she had been gone for some time, leaving no warmth behind. 

On the way here, she had already cried her eyes out. Now, she just stared at Liana, the grief in her heart was indescribable, she felt like there was a rock on her chest, making it hard to breathe. 

Next to her, Hailey was holding Liana’s hand, trying desperately to warm it up, but no matter how hard she tried, it was futile. Because Liana was gone, all that was left was an empty shell 

“Liana, you promised Nina you’d be her godmother forever, to watch her grow up. How could you just leave like this?” 

Hailey held onto Liana, her voice trembling, she could not hold back her tears, her tears fell on Liana’s hand, not rolling off, as if they too were sorry for their loss. 

Liana was gone, she had left with Tyler. This was a fact, nothing could change that. They didn’t have the power to turn back time, nor the power to bring people back to life. They could only watch helplessly as the police took Liana’s body away. 

Before the body was cremated, Liana’s lawyer arrived at the scene and read out Liana’s last will and testament: 

“Eleanor, I’m sorry I can no longer help with your treatment. But my mentor, Mr. Keith, is a better doctor than me. He’ll help you get pregnant. If you have children, I hope one day, you’ll let them call me godmother.. 

Hailey, I owe you an apology too. Dr. Yeager, who I recommended to you, wasn’t as good as I said, and you almost suffered the same harm as me. I’ve been feeling guilty about it, I’m sorry. Also, Mr. Laurence is not bad…. 

Dear Aidyn, I’m sorry I didn’t wait for your child to be born before I hurriedly left. But I believe you can understand me. I’ve been used all my life, and I lost the person I loved the most. How could I continue to live? Death is the best relief for me, so please don’t cry for me. 

Lastly, Mr. Laurence, thank you for saving me back then and for nurturing me afterwards. Even though you’re only a bit older than me, you’ve always been like a mentor to me. I hope in my next life, I can still be your subordinate 

Meeting all of you was the luckiest and most beautiful thing in my life. Even though I’m gone, you’re always with me in spirit.”
