A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz ) novel Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143 

When she heard his name, Liana finally took a good look at him. He wasn’t that young, naive kid anymore. Now he was all dashing and polished, handsome as hell. 

Recognizing him, Liana flashed a smile and responded, “I heard you’ve settled overseas. What brings you back here, and to a hospital of all places?” 

Seeing Liana was like seeing an old friend to Jules. It was familiar and warmed his heart, and his enthusiasm showed. “My grandma hasn’t been feeling too well, so my mom asked me to come back and check on her. I didn’t expect to run into you here at the hospital.” 

He then turned his gaze back to Liana, “By the looks of your getup, you’re a doctor now?” 

Liana nodded, not saying much, but Jules continued, “Back in high school, you always talked about going to medical school. I thought you were just blowing hot air, I didn’t expect you to actually become a doctor. 

“By the sound of it, you don’t seem to think much of the profession, Liana retorted with a laugh. 

Jules quickly waved his hands, “Not at all. I just didn’t think you’d follow in Tyler’s footsteps after all that happened…” 

He then paused and apologized, “I apologize. I shouldn’t have said that.” 

Liana just shook her head, “It’s alright, that’s all in the past…” 

Bringing up Tyler again, Jules asked, “Did you know Tyler passed away?” 

Liana’s face turned pale, but she managed to maintain her composure and nodded, “I know.” 

Jules let out a deep sigh, reflecting on Tyler’s untimely demise, “Though he died young, there’s some truth to the saying, ‘you reap what you sow. Tyler did a lot of bad things, and that’s why he died so young… 

Thinking back to his own past regrets and missed opportunities, Jules couldn’t help but feel remorseful. He had intended to confess his feelings to Liana on a boat he purchased, but Tyler had swooped in, taken her away, and later he heard about the mistreatment she endured at the hands of Tyler’s people. 

Feeling guilty, Jules insisted on taking Liana out for a meal. At first, she declined, but he reassured her, “Liana, don’t worry. I don’t have any other intentions. I just see you as a friend.” 

His enthusiasm was hard to resist, so she took off her white coat, handed it to a nurse, and left the hospital with Jules. As they exited, another doctor greeted Liana with respect, revealing to Jules that she was not only a doctor but also the owner of the most expensive and best hospital in town. 

Impressed, Jules gave her a thumbs–up, “I didn’t know you were not only a doctor but also the hospital director. You’re pretty badass now.” 

In the past, Jules had been a shy guy, often too timid to speak up. But now, he felt confident enough to tease Liana, which put her at ease. 

Instead of taking his car, Liana drove them to a less pricey restaurant. As they sat down, she asked him, “So, what do you do for a living?” 

Jules had originally planned to take Liana to a fancier place, but he understood her frugal and considerate nature. So, he didn’t push it and replied, “I’m working on research and development abroad, something related to programming” 

Speaking of programming, he couldn’t help but mention Tyler. “I owe my career to Tyler. If he hadn’t bragged about his computer skills in school, I might not have gotten into programming just to compete with him. But it was because of that competition that I got my current job.” 

Jules‘ family was pretty well–off in B City, so Liana asked, “Why didn’t you take over the family business instead of running off overseas to do R&D?”
