A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 438

Liana flashed him a grin.

"Alright, I'll hang on a little longer for you."

Seeing the disappointment in Liana's eyes gradually turn into hope, Tyler's panicked heart finally settled down.

He released Liana and hoisted her up from the ground, gripping her tighter than he ever had before.

For some reason, he couldn't help but feel that the woman in his arms would one day give him the cold shoulder and run off with someone else.

Tyler couldn't bear to imagine what he'd do when that day came. All he could do was hold on to Liana as tightly as he could.

Dr. Webb, who had been punched into a daze, lay on the ground, clenching his fist as he watched the two leave.

Once Tyler had carried Liana to the principal's office, he leaned her against the wall and, without even kissing her, hurriedly had his way with her.

Forced to endure, Liana laid her head on his shoulder, the iciness in her eyes becoming more resolute.

All the while, a cell phone on the office desk continued to ring incessantly.

Liana wanted to answer it, but Tyler wouldn't allow her to until he finally ran out of strength .

Tyler placed her on a chair next to the desk, then turned around and tore off a few wet wipes to clean his fingers.

Liana picked up the phone and saw several missed calls from Bernard, causing her face to turn pale.

She quickly called him back. The man, who had just boarded a plane, immediately picked up.

"Mr. Laurence, your phone is finally on!"

Hearing Liana's excited voice, Bernard's furrowed brows tightened even more. "What do you mean by the message you sent to me?"

Liana gripped the phone tightly, anxiously saying, "Mr. Laurence, four months ago, right after you left the hospital, Garett delivered divorce papers to Ms. Shultz. They've been divorced for a long time. I tried to call you back to tell you the news, but your phone was off."

Bernard was stunned, and after a few seconds, he asked in disbelief, "They... they've been divorced?"
