A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1132

But when she was in trouble, Tyler wouldn't hesitate to save her, like the time she almost drowned as a kid and he jumped in to rescue her.

Her first flutter of feelings for him was when she saw his fearless figure in the water. From then on, she slowly started to have feelings for him. He not only saved her life, but when she was being bullied at school, he would step in and take the hit for her.

She would ask him back then, "Tyler, do you still care about me?" Tyler, in his school uniform, leaning against the railing, would glance at her and then arrogantly say, "In this world, only I can bully you."

Back then, Liana didn't understand what this meant, but now she suddenly realized that Tyler might have had some feelings for her at that time, he just hadn't realized it himself.

Thinking about this, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears. He's gone now, no one can tell her the answer anymore.

She reached out and traced down Tyler's pant leg to the dried blood on the ground, his last words, four lines:

[Liana, I'm gone. I don't have to worry about you marrying someone else anymore.]

So, he was afraid of her marrying someone else till his dying breath.

He doesn't have to fear seeing her marry someone else now that he's gone.

That’s why he let himself die without trying to save himself, without even calling out to her for help.

Yes, Tyler sought her out many times because she was going to marry Will. He was afraid of losing her, but he didn't know what to do.

He had to take the hard way, regardless of whether she was willing or not, his actions were indeed extreme.

Just like he always bullied her, yet saved her. Liana couldn't take it, she questioned him, but he would always say, "I do what I want, no reason needed."

He was just that stubborn, a strong independent thinker, no one could change his mind, like his persistent belief in medicine, no matter how many medical experts disagreed with him.

But Tyler didn't understand, when it comes to love, you can't treat your loved one the same way you treat other things, it would only push her further away, even to the point of pushing her into a pit of fire, the one being loved, out of resentment, would grab his hand, dragging him into that pit as well.

It was in this decade-long revenge plan that Liana made him, who didn't know how to treat a loved one, become so extreme.

There's no what if now, Tyler's gone.
