A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

Cedric’s face darkened, “What do you mean?” 

Hailey glared at him and didn’t answer. Instead, she turned around and ran away. 

By the time Cedric realized what had happened, she had vanished into thin air. 

Cedric was so furious that he kicked a fancy car with all his might. 

He’d hoped to vent his anger by doing so, but he ended up kicking a hard part and hurting his toe! 

Poor Cedric was sent to the emergency room with the help of his doctor and assistant…. 

Upon hearing the nurse say that Eleanor had woken up, Liana hurried to the VIP ward with her stethoscope in hand. 

She checked Eleanor’s condition and, after making sure there were no signs of infection at the back of her head, she breathed a sigh of relief. 

“Ms. Shultz, there’s nothing major to worry about since the surgery on the back of your head. We just need to watch out for infection. But…” 

Liana paused and looked at Eleanor with a hint of regret, “Your heart failure is speeding up. I’m afraid you won’t last much longer.” 

Eleanor was already very aware of her own condition, so she wasn’t too worried, “How much… longer can I hold on?” 

Liana put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, looking down at Eleanor’s pale face and said gravely, “About a week.” 

If she hadn’t been injured so seriously, she could have held on for another two months with the help of special drugs. 

However, having a nail go through the back of her head accelerated her heart failure. Living another week was already a medical miracle. Liana thought of the scene of a nail going through the back of Eleanor’s head and couldn’t help but shudder. 

“Ms. Shultz, who did this to you?” 

Bernard told her that Joelle, Sophie, and he had all attacked Eleanor and asked her to go save her, but he didn’t say who exactly caused the injury. 

Liana guessed that it might have been a joint attack against Eleanor, but she couldn’t believe that Bernard was involved. 

She didn’t know the specifics of the situation, so she had no choice but to ask Eleanor. 

Eleanor’s eyes flashed with a hint of sadness and she quickly lowered them, hiding her emotions. 

Remaining silent, she seemed unwilling to speak. Liana didn’t push any further and handed her a paper bag instead. 

“Here are the things you left at the mall. A nurse brought them back for you. I put them here.” 

After placing the paper bag on the bedside table, Liana gently told Eleanor, “Get some rest, and if you feel uncomfortable, just ring the 

bell.” 

As she turned to leave, Eleanor called out to her, “Liana…” 

Liana looked back at Eleanor, “Is something still bothering you?” 

Eleanor shook her head, looking at the paper bag on the bedside table, “There’s a bottle of perfume in there… I bought it for you.” 

Liana was taken aback, glancing at the paper bag and then back at Eleanor, “You… went to the mall to buy perfume for me?” 

Eleanor nodded, her eyes filled with warmth, “You’ve given me so much medicine. I wanted to thank you.” 

Shock and then gratitude filled Liana’s eyes as they welled up with tears, leaving her at a loss for words. 

After standing there for several minutes, she returned to Eleanor, gently touching her pale face with her pristine hand. 

“Ms. Shultz, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have met Joelle. It’s all my fault.” 

Although Eleanor couldn’t see Liana’s expression, she could feel her remorse. Smiling slightly, she said, “It isn’t your fault…” 

It was Eleanor’s own fault for being overly arrogant, thinking she could fight back using their own methods. 

She had forgotten how insignificant she was and that she couldn’t mess with these privileged people. 

The current outcome was, in a way, deserved. 

The only mistake she made was falling in love with someone she shouldn’t have.
