A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 205
After they left, Bernard tumed to Bryson, who was standing to one side with frightened pale face, and said, “Get a doctor for Liana”
Bryson quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll go get a doctor right away..”
Bryson rushed out, and Liana, lying on the ground unable to move, strained to turn her gaze toward Bernard. Seeing his right hand wrapped in bandages, bleeding profusely from holding a gun just now, her expression faltered slightly.
Liana said, ‘Mr. Laurence, let me help you stop the blending frst.”
She tried to force herself to sit up, but was sternly stopped by him. “No need.”
Bernard dropped this sentence and walked over to sit on the safa, his indifferent eyes coldly gazing at the glow of the setting sun. Liana saw the darkness in his eyes, as if he had last the vibrancy of fe, never to be bright again.

Seeing Bernard like this, a wave of deep quilt surged up in her heart…
Her lips, reddered from being hit by a belt, opened to apologize, I’m sorry, Mr. Laurence.”
She had always thought that he didn’t care about Ms. Shultz, until he said to her on the phone with a helpless tone, “Liana, it’s one thing if others don’t know, but don’t you know either?”
She finaly understood that he did care about Ms. Shultz he just hid that care deep in his heart, But because of her presumptuous assumptions, he was unaware of Ms. Shutz’s heath situation and missed the last moments with her,
And because of her deliberate concealment, he didnt get to see Ms. Shultz one last time, leaving them separated by life and death with regrets.
Thinking about all this, guilt and remorse overwhelmed her. Mr. Laurence, I’m sorry. I owe you, and I owe Ms. Shultz. If it weren’t for me getting Ms. Shultz involved with Joelle Valana, she wouldn’t have died so soon. I’m the one who caused her death…”
Her injured eyes shed hot tears, yet she continued to apologize, Im sorry I’m sorry…
Bernard gave her a light glance, his voice was as cold as ever, but laced with deep helplessness 1:5 not your fault, I’m the one who slapped her and caused her to fall on a rail, accelerating her death…
After saying this, he lifted his bloodshot eyes and quielly looked at her, “Liana, I killed her…”
In his forcibly calm voice was sheer despair, as if he had killed his beloved and could never escape the quilt.
Liana locked at him in disbelief. She had assumed that Joelle was the one who had done it, but it turned out to be him. No wonder he was quilt-ridden to the point of attempting suicide at Ms. Shultz’s grave. The final blow was caused by him.
