A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 165

"We've offended her, we're gonna have a hard time later..."

She doesn't really care, she can always seek protection from Mr. Laurence, but Eleanor...

If Joelle finds out about Eleanor and Mr. Laurence's relationship, it's gonna be bad...

Liana couldn't bear to think about it, her mind filled with images of a girl being tortured to death.

Eleanor saw the scared look on Liana's face and felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Dr. Terrill, I've dragged you into this."

Liana shook her head gently, "It's not your fault, Joelle is just too pushy."

Afraid that Eleanor might feel too guilty, Liana tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, I'll give Mr. Laurence a heads-up later, he'll protect us."

Eleanor forced a bitter smile. She had been so ruthless with Bernard, he probably hated her to the core. How could he possibly protect her?

As Liana was about to say something, a few police officers came over, asking what had just happened.

Liana explained that it was just a medical dispute that had been resolved, so the police took a simple statement and left.

When they left, Liana remembered that she had to pick up some medicine for Eleanor, so she rushed to tell her, "Let's go, I'll get your prescription."

Seeing Liana's swollen face, but still worrying about her medicine, Eleanor felt a warm feeling inside.

"Dr. Terrill, I'll go get some anti-inflammatory and pain relief meds from the nurse first. Wait here for me."

As soon as Eleanor said that, she dashed to the triage desk. Liana watched her leave, then turned around to go back to her office but bumped into someone.

After getting the meds from the nurse, Eleanor returned.

Upon entering the dean's office, she saw Tyler holding Liana against the wall. Startled, Eleanor quickly backed out.

She found herself sitting on a nearby chair, her chin resting on her hand as her thoughts raced. She struggled to comprehend the nature of their relationship.

Inside the room, Liana snapped back to reality as soon as she noticed Eleanor's presence. She quickly pushed Tyler away. "Get away from me..."

Tyler straightened his clothing, yet his gaze remained fixated on Liana. "Does it hurt?" he asked, reaching out to touch her slapped cheek, a sneer evident in his eyes. It was clear he was mocking her.
