A Second Chance at Forever

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…

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.

“I thought you’d amount to something after leaving our house, but you’ve just worked for Bernard. That’s quite a price to pay.”

Liana’s anger surged, not because of his taunting words, but because he had witnessed her in such an embarrassing and vulnerable

state.

She clenched her fists, not wanting to give in.

Tyler let go of her and leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, looking her up and down

She had been only eighteen years old when she left the Howell family. After so many years, she had become even more beautiful.

He couldn’t help pressing her against the wall again, lowering his head to kiss her moist red lips, savoring them slowly.

He had been searching for her for many years. After she returned to the country, he had visited her several times in A City, but had never approached her directly.

Had he not just learned from Joelle that she was working for Bernard, he might never have appeared.

The Laurence family and the Howell family were mortal enemies!

As a member of the Howell family, she dares to follow his cousin’s footsteps and side with the Laurence family. What a lawless act!

She might never know her true position if he didn’t teach her a lesson!

At first, Tyler just wanted to kiss her, but tasting her, he didn’t want to stop there.

He held her waist tightly, kissed her even deeper.

It had been probably ten years since they last kissed, a taste that he had missed deeply.

He became a little carried away, even forgetting why he had come looking for her.

He only indulged in his longing for her, a longing that went deep into his bones, making him temporarily forget his hatred.

He might have forgotten, but Liana hadn’t. She struggled to push him away, but her wrists were caught by him, making it difficult for her to move,

She tried to bite him, but he bit her back instead. Liana trembled with rage.

“Tyler!” While struggling, Liana let out an angry roar, “Don’t forget, you’re my brother!”
