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.

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?”
Liana nodded fervently, “Yes, Mr. Laurence, they’ve been divorced. He left Ms. Shultz at the same time
as you, If it weren’t for Hailey’s careful care and constant encouragement, Ms. Shultz probably wouldn’t
have been able to hold
on.”
Liana’s voice reached Bernard’s ears, causing him to stiffen.
At the time when Eleanor was most seriously injured and needed people to take care of her the most,
he and Garett had both left her.
He had thought that if he left, Garett would take good care of her, but he never expected this.
Thinking of Eleanor going through those tough three months alone, Bernard’s heart ached so much
that his eyes started to well up.
Eleanor not only had to endure the pain brought by sulfuric acid but also the pain of being left alone.
Just like Liana said, if it weren’t for Ms. Vulpe, how could Eleanor have managed to hold on all by
herself?
Bernard’s hand trembled uncontrollably, and his body almost fell to the ground.
Caleb immediately supported Bernard, comforting him, “Sir, don’t worry, we’ll be back home soon.”
Hearing that he was about to return home, Liana quickly advised, “Mr. Laurence, Ms. Shultz is now in
W City.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBernard sat down, pressing his aching forehead with his hand. After a while, he responded to Liana in
a soft voice, “She’s already back home.”
Liana was taken aback. If Mr. Laurence knew Ms. Shultz was back, which indicated they had met in W
City, why didn’t he know that Ms. Shultz was divorced? Before Liana could ask, Bernard had already
hung up. He put down the phone and looked out the window.
He had always thought that Eleanor agreed to be with him out of pity, never considering how a married
Eleanor couldn’t betray Garett merely out of pity.
Besides, when he confessed to her, she also agreed. But he mistakenly thought it was his constant
pleading that made her unable to refuse.
Bernard felt incredibly stupid. She had been with him all this time, never once calling Garett. But seeing
her texting on her phone, he assumed she was contacting Garett, and jealousy clouded his sense of
reason. She had been divorced from Garett for a long time, yet agreed to be with him, which meant she
still loved him.
If he could have calmed down back then and thought about these issues carefully, he and she would
have been married by now.
Bernard’s eyes were filled with regret, Clenching his fists tightly, he hope for the plane to fly faster and
faster.
