A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1161

Just as Liana was on the brink of suffocation, a series of insistent knocks sounded from the door, one after the other, without cessation…

Liana didn't wish to engage, yet she could faintly discern Eleanor's anxious entreaties…

“Liana, open the door!”

Upon hearing about Karan, Eleanor and Hailey had attempted numerous times to visit Liana, but they were consistently rebuffed with the assurance that 'I'm fine'.

Liana maintained an aura of normalcy, working daily, returning home punctually, her routine indistinguishable from the norm, leading the duo to almost believe that Liana could weather this storm.

However, tonight, Eleanor found herself battling insomnia, her heart filled with unrest, her thoughts consumed by Liana's trials. She felt that Liana was confronting more than minor tribulations. Having been exploited by her relatives since a young age, and later being compelled to end the life of the person she deeply loved as an adult, how could such torment be easily endured?

She fretted that Liana was merely feigning resilience on the surface, but in reality, she was shouldering all the pain in solitude and might resort to rash actions. Thus, Eleanor immediately arose from her bed, donned a robe, and made a beeline for Liana.

Bernard also came, he sat in the car, slightly turned his face, watching Eleanor knocking on the door. Seeing her knocking for a while, and the door still not opening, a trace of unease appeared on his face…

Just as he was about to get out of the car, the door opened, and Liana, drenched, appeared under the street light, pale, looking as if she had just gone through a life and death battle, extremely tired…

Liana came out wrapped in a towel. Bernard was puzzled, but didn't ask, instead turned his gaze forward…

Seeing that Liana finally opened the door, Eleanor immediately walked up and grabbed her hand, "Liana, you look really pale, are you sick?"

Liana initially wanted to end her life right there, but she thought there were still many things she hadn't dealt with, at least she had to tell these people who loved her, so they wouldn't worry about her, and not just quietly leave. So, she stood up from the bathtub...

She held Eleanor's hand, smiled, and shook her head, "I was just taking a bath in the bathroom, I guess I was in there too long, so I'm probably a little oxygen-deprived…"

After saying that, she patted Eleanor's hand, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

How could Eleanor not worry, "You didn't open the door for so long, I thought…”

Liana smiled, "Did you think I might do something to hurt myself?"

Eleanor looked at Liana, didn't say anything, but her eyes had already answered the question.

Seeing this, Liana couldn't help but laugh again, "Silly girl, I'm grown up, I won't act impulsively just because of these difficulties."
