Chapter 438 Liana flashed him a grin.
âAlright, Iâll hang on a little longer for you.â
Seeing the disappointment in Lianaâs eyes gradually turn into hope, Tylerâs 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 couldnât help but feel that the woman in his arms would one day give him the cold shoulder and run off with someone else.
Tyler couldnât bear to imagine what heâd 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 principalâs 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.
All the while, a cell phone on the office desk continued to ring incessantly.
Liana wanted to answer it, but Tyler wouldnât 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.
âMr. Laurence, your phone is finally on!â
Hearing Lianaâs excited voice, Bernardâs furrowed brows tightened even more. âWhat do you mean by the message you sent to me?â
Liana gripped the phone tightly, anxiously saying. âMr. Laurence, four months ago, right after you left the hospital, Garett delivered divorce papers to Ms. Shultz. Theyâve been divorced for a long time. I tried to call you back to tell you the news, but your phone was off.â
Bernard was stunned, and after a few seconds, he asked in disbelief, âThey...theyâve been divorced?â
Liana nodded fervently, âYes, Mr. Laurence, theyâve been divorced. He left Ms. Shultz at the same time as you, If it werenât for Haileyâs careful care and constant encouragement, Ms. Shultz probably wouldnât have been able to hold on.â
Lianaâs voice reached Bernardâs 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, Bernardâs 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 werenât for Ms. Vulpe, how could Eleanor have managed to hold on all by herself?
Bernardâs hand trembled uncontrollably, and his body almost fell to the ground.
Caleb immediately supported Bernard, comforting him, âSir, donât worry, weâll be back home soon.â
Hearing that he was about to return home, Liana quickly advised, âMr. Laurence, Ms. Shultz is now in W City.â
Bernard sat down, pressing his aching forehead with his hand. After a while, he responded to Liana in a soft voice, âSheâs already back home.â

Liana was taken aback. If Mr. Laurence knew Ms. Shultz was back, which indicated they had met in W City, why didnât 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 couldnât 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.
Bernardâs eyes were filled with regret, Clenching his fists tightly, he hope for the plane to fly faster and faster.
