A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1169

Will trembled from head to toe, consumed by a pain that seemed to pulse from his very core, extending even to his fingertips.

He couldn’t stand up. All he could do was drag himself towards Liana using his hands Although hesitant to touch her, he instinctively reached out, brushing his fingers lightly against her face.

The chilling touch confirmed what, as a doctor, he already knew. Liana was gone. The woman he deeply loved was no more

Tears streamed down Will’s face, unchecked and free–flowing. He tried to keep his grief private, and in a bid to find some solace, gently took Liana from Eleanor and cradled her to him. Holding her tight, he treated her fragile form like a priceless treasure.

Resting his cheek on her cold face, he softly caressed her, careful not to press too hard Tears continued to fall, one landing in the hollow of her eye, shining there as if to comfort him, whispering. “Will, it’s okay…”

But Will couldn’t control his crying, his heartache was uncontrollable…

Once Liana’s lawyer confirmed that the man quietly weeping was indeed Will, he approached him, handing over a handwritten will…

“This was written by Liana herself before she passed, she wanted me to give it to you personally”

Will lifted his tear–filled eyes, glanced at the envelope, and slowly reached out. The moment his fingertips touched the smooth paper, it felt like an electric shock, making even breathing difficult…
