A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz ) novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 

Will got his hand treated lickety–split, so no serious aftermath. He’s now in tip–top shape and just needs a bit more R&R before he’s sprung from the hospital 

The moment Will saw Liana coming in, he shooed his parents away from his bedside. They got the hint, gave Liana a once–over, and left the two of them to chinwag while they cleared out. 

Liana strolled over, sitting in front of Will’s hospital bed, “How’s the day? Can you move your hand?” 

Will nodded, looking at Liana with soft eyes, “My hand will be back to normal, don’t sweat it…” 

Liana held Will’s hand, gave it a once–over, and seeing he was on the mend, responded, “You will recover, it’s just that you might not be able to do surgeries anymore.” 

Will didn’t give a hoot, “After some time at the Laurence Group’s pharmaceutical company, I found I’m more into drug development than surgery.” 

Liana still felt a pang. “You’re a helluva surgeon. It’s a damn shame you can’t operate anymore.” 

Hearing this, Will’s eyes lit up with a faint smile, “Whether it’s being a doctor or developing drugs, it’s all about healing people. As long as I can save lives, there’s nothing to regret.” 

The last sentence yanked Liana back to the past. She just froze…. 

Eighteen–year–old Tyler had said the same thing. Back then, he was leaning against an escalator, hands in his pockets, quietly listening to the Howells debate his career path. 

Tyler’s grandpa insisted that Tyler, being the descendant of a medical family, should not waste his talent and must follow in their footsteps. But Hackett thought Tyler’s knack for computers made him a hot commodity in finance. They argued non–stop, with Hackett eventually winning out, leaving Tyler’s grandpa fit to be tied. 

Tyler consoled his grandpa, “No matter what I do, I can still help heal people. As long as I can save lives, there’s nothing to regret.” 

Only because Tyler promised Hackett he would choose finance in college, Hackett decided to groom Tyler as his successor in the Howell family 

business 

Sadly, before Tyler could even graduate high school, he made an irreversible mistake and violated her, leading to him being ostracized by all the Howells. and losing his right to inherit the family business. 

If not for that, Tyler might have followed his grandpa’s footsteps into medicine, instead of becoming a whiz in finance and leading the Howells to greater heights in business. 

Liana told herself that Tyler’s downfall was his own doing and not her problem. When Will asked if something was up, she shook her head, “I’m fine, just a little spaced out, probably because I’m tired.” 

Will studied Liana’s face, trying to read any changes, but she seemed eerily calm, seemingly unfazed by Tyler’s death.
