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.
