A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1142

After Liana had finished speaking, she didn't wait for Will to respond, she just got up and left. Her decisiveness was just like when she faced Tyler with a gun.

Liana was never one to dither. Once she made up her mind, she'd tell you straight up and then cut ties, no more crossing paths.

But Will knew, Liana wouldn't just cut him off like that, at least not until his hand was fully healed. She'd still care for him like before.

To Liana, he was an important person in her life, just not as significant as her lover, but not quite a stranger either.

Will knew very well what kind of person Liana was, so he just watched her retreating figure and slowly began to speak—

"Liana, if I hadn't come to find you, would you and Tyler have pleasantly spent a month on the island?"

Liana's steps slowly halted but she didn't turn around. She only paused for a few seconds before continuing to walk away.

Nobody knew the answer in Liana's heart, but Will saw it. If he hadn't gone to find her, Liana would have spent a month with Tyler and returned safely, just like that time, Tyler would have brought her back…

Will lay in his hospital bed, his gaze fixed on Liana as she approached his parents. With each passing moment, his face grew paler, and a troubling thought crossed his mind - did he indirectly cause Tyler's death?

Liana warmly greeted Will's parents and reminded them about his condition, cautioning them to keep him away from water. As she turned to leave, she was unexpectedly halted by Will's parents.

"Dr. Terrill, we heard what you said to Will," Will's mom began, her face showing a hint of hesitation before she steadied herself and thanked Liana with a smile. "Thank you for your understanding and support."

Will's parents had endured enough turmoil, and now they simply wished for their son to lead a peaceful life, free from such intense experiences. They hoped he could eventually have a family with a caring wife and live harmoniously.

Though Dr. Terrill was a wonderful woman, Will's mother couldn't shake the feeling that someone who had deeply loved another person and inadvertently caused that person's death would always carry profound emotional scars. She feared that Liana might not be able to provide a stable life for Will because of these lingering wounds. Even if Will claimed not to mind, she worried he might eventually regret it if Liana never reciprocated his feelings.
