A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1143

When she heard his name, Liana finally took a good look at him. He wasn't that young, naive kid anymore. Now he was all dashing and polished, handsome as hell.

Recognizing him, Liana flashed a smile and responded, "I heard you've settled overseas. What brings you back here, and to a hospital of all places?"

Seeing Liana was like seeing an old friend to Jules. It was familiar and warmed his heart, and his enthusiasm showed. "My grandma hasn't been feeling too well, so my mom asked me to come back and check on her. I didn't expect to run into you here at the hospital."

He then turned his gaze back to Liana, "By the looks of your getup, you’re a doctor now?"

Liana nodded, not saying much, but Jules continued, "Back in high school, you always talked about going to medical school. I thought you were just blowing hot air, I didn't expect you to actually become a doctor."

"By the sound of it, you don’t seem to think much of the profession," Liana retorted with a laugh.

Jules quickly waved his hands, "Not at all. I just didn't think you'd follow in Tyler's footsteps after all that happened..."

He then paused and apologized, "I apologize. I shouldn’t have said that."

Liana just shook her head, "It's alright, that’s all in the past..."

Bringing up Tyler again, Jules asked, "Did you know Tyler passed away?"

Liana's face turned pale, but she managed to maintain her composure and nodded, "I know."

Jules let out a deep sigh, reflecting on Tyler's untimely demise, "Though he died young, there's some truth to the saying, 'you reap what you sow'. Tyler did a lot of bad things, and that's why he died so young..."

Thinking back to his own past regrets and missed opportunities, Jules couldn't help but feel remorseful. He had intended to confess his feelings to Liana on a boat he purchased, but Tyler had swooped in, taken her away, and later he heard about the mistreatment she endured at the hands of Tyler's people.
