Chapter 356
Eleanor’s fingers clenched tightly, but her face remained expressionless, “Dr. Teresa, that’s your business, not mine.”
Teresa gave a slight smile, showing her elegant grin, “Now that you say that, I get it.”
After speaking, Teresa gracefully turned to face Liana, “Dr. Terrill, see you in the operating room.”
With that, she hurriedly left the ward, her high heels clicking on the floor.
After she left, Hailey angrily said, “If I weren’t worried she’d mess with the surgery, I would’ve cussed her out already”
Liana was also a bit angry but didn’t say much. She pulled out her phone and kept calling Mr. Laurence.
He’d been in lockdown at the airbase for a month already surely it was time to check his phone?
But still, it was turned off. Liana felt deflated, put down her phone, and looked at Eleanor.
“Eleanor, don’t sweat it…”
Over the past two months, both she and Hailey had been by Eleanor’s side, they had became closer and no longer as formal as before.
Eleanor relaxed her clenched fingers and smiled at Liana and Hailey, “I should be the one to say that. You guys don’t worry about it…”
Whether she cared or not didn’t matter anymore. For the rest of her life, Bernard had nothing to do with her.
Liana and Hailey exchanged glances, knowing Eleanor’s personality, and didn’t say anything more.
After Liana gave some pre–surgery instructions, she left to get busy with work, while Hailey stayed to take care of Eleanor in the ward.
Time flew by, and soon it was the day of the skin graft surgery.
Although Teresa saw Eleanor as a love rival, her medical ethics were impeccable, and she didn’t sabotage the surgery.
To ease Eleanor’s pain, Teresa even used expensive medication she’d brought back from abroad after the operation.
Eleanor lay in bed for another two months, gradually recovering after countless bouts of pain.
On the day she was discharged, Eleanor stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looked sideways at her back.
There were still some scars, but most of the skin had healed well, not as ugly as before.
She was quite satisfied with the outcome, turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and left the bathroom.
Hailey was packing stuff and asked, “Do you want to take those clothes in the closet with you?”
Eleanor glanced at the row of men’s suits, her voice was flat, “I’ll give them to Liana to return to him.”
Hailey nodded and continued packing.
Eleanor stared at the clothes for a few seconds, then took them off one by one.
When she brought the clothes to the dean’s office, she ran into Tyler, who was holding Liana against the wall, kissing her.
Eleanor casually put down the clothes, asked Liana to help return them, and said, “You guys carry on.”
The moment the door closed, Liana was extremely embarrassed, while Tyler, unsatisfied, grabbed her waist and kissed her hard.
Liana endured the pain, clung to Tyler’s shoulder, and said, “Tyler, I want a baby…”
Tyler suddenly stopped, his face turning pale as if remembering something unpleasant, his enthusiasm gone.
He left Liana, took some wet wipes, and slowly wiped his fingers, then said to Liana, “We can adopt a child.”
Liana watched his face and calmly continued to provoke him, “I want to have my own baby….
A flash of guilt in Tyler’s eyes, he pretended not to care and said, “It’s better if we don’t have kids. That way, no one will disturb us.”
Liana saw a hint of guilt in his eyes, felt a little happy, and didn’t say more.
She tidied herself up, picked up the clothes Eleanor had left on the floor, and said to Tyler, “I need to go to the Laurence family.”
Tyler sat on the couch, not even looking up, “Come to the hotel tonight.”
Liana replied ‘okay‘ and left the dean’s office.
After she left, Tyler held his forehead in pain with one hand.

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...
