A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139 

Word on the street was that Karan really took Tyler, her stepson, to heart. Hackett once went off the deep end, calling Tyler a good–for–nothing, refusing to hold a big funeral for him. But Karan and Hackett had a knock–down–drag–out over this. She insisted, no matter how bad Tyler’s rep was, he was still part of the Howell family and deserved a grand send–off. 

In the end, Hackett caved and let Karan take charge of the funeral. Those who came to pay respects at the Howell family said Karan was prostrate before Tyler’s picture, crying her eyes out so much she almost passed out, and had to be supported by the Howell family. The word got around that Karan was a hell of a good stepmom and Tyler was an ungrateful stepson.- 

When Liana received the news, she was in the middle of administering an injection to a patient. Despite the shocking news, she remained composed and showed no emotional reaction to the death she had just heard about. It seemed as if she had already detached herself from any feelings related to the deceased. 

After returning from Panama, Liana admitted Will Webb to a hospital for his recovery. She took care of him diligently while continuing her regular work. without any disruptions. It was business as usual for her. 

Initially, Eleanor and Hailey worried that Liana would be devastated by Tyler’s passing. However, once she returned, Liana seemed unaffected and threw herself into work tirelessly. She always wore a smile, and Tyler’s death appeared to have relieved her of some burden. 

Liana made it clear to Eleanor and Hailey that they didn’t need to avoid discussing Tyler around her. She no longer felt the need to walk on eggshells, and she didn’t attend the funeral or inquire about it in any way. 

Observing Liana’s behavior, Eleanor and Hailey chose not to probe further. They assured her that they were available if she needed anything, and they were willing to help her in any way they could. Liana acknowledged their offer and encouraged them to focus on their own responsibilities. 

Eleanor had her designs to work on, and Hailey was busy running a nightclub. Both of them were swamped with their own tasks, and Liana didn’t want to cause any additional inconvenience for them after all the trouble she had already caused. 

After giving the injection, Liana bent down to comfort the child with a smile while discreetly administering the shot. 

The kid was all smiles at first, but burst into tears when Liana pulled the needle out. The parents were trying to calm the kid down, and Liana patted his head with a smile, and pulled a candy out of her pocket like a magician. 

The kid stopped crying as soon as he got the lollipop, even said a polite “thank you“. Liana patted his head again before leaving the room with a smile. 

Once she left the room, her smile froze and the room started spinning. She quickly reached out to steady herself against the wall, her trembling fingers searched her lab coat for her pill bottle. 

Her mind was flooded with images of Tyler being shot and bleeding out by the floor–to–ceiling window. The vivid bloody scenes kept replaying in her mind, putting her nerves on edge. She could only forget the bloody images by taking pills. 

She found the pill bottle, took out a pill with trembling hands and forced it down. 

She leaned against the wall, waiting for her mood to stabilize, when a doctor walked by. 

“Dr. Terrill, are you okay?” 

Liana had been keeping busy, whether it was neurosurgery or internal medicine, she’d lend a hand wherever needed. Now she was even in pediatrics, making people wonder if Dr. Terrill was setting an example, or numbing herself with work. 

“I’m fine.” 

Liana waved him off, telling him to go about his business, then forced her tired body back to Will’s room.
