A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

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…

If Joelle finds out about Eleanor and Mr. Laurence’s relationship, it’s gonna be bad.

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.”
