Chapter 1128


    After helping Liana freshen up, they had nned to take her back to the hotel for a rest. But worried


    sick about Will, Liana insisted on staying at the hospital until his surgery was over. Only when the


    doctor announced that Will’s surgery was a sess, did she let out a little sigh of relief.


    Even though Will was still knocked out from the anesthesia, Liana managed to pull herself together


    when she was assured he was alright. But just as she was about to leave the ward at Hailey’s urging,


    Bernard’s bodyguard called.


    “Mr. Laurence, Tyler is dead by gunshot.”


    Hearing this, Bemard’s face fell. He didn’t even wait for the bodyguard to finish speaking, he hung up


    the phone and turned to Liana, who had frozen in her tracks.


    After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Liana, Tyler… he’s dead”


    Liana’s body went rigid Whether it was fear or something else, her hands began to tremble and her


    knees turned to jelly. If it hadn’t been for Eleanor and Hailey supporting her, she would’ve copsed.


    Her face tumed pale and her body shook uncontrobly.


    She stood there, frozen, for what felt like an eternity, until Bernard’s voice brought her back.


    “What?”


    She hadn’t heard him clearly, too shocked to process his words. It was as if the world had stopped and


    all she could hear was the ringing in her ears, preventing her from understanding what Bernard was


    saying..


    Bernard took the phone and walked up to Liana. “The police won’t let us move his body yet. If you want


    to see him, you can do it before they get there.”


    Since it was a criminal case, the scene had to be secured, and with the local police on Tyler’s trail, they


    couldn’t just move the body.


    Liana felt dazed. It wasn’t until she heard “body” did she fully realize Tyler was dead. But he was


    obviously a renowned doctor, how could he….


    When he was young, he had survived a gunshot wound in the wilderness by operating on himself. Why


    couldn’t he do that now?.


    Liana looked down at her hands. They were clean, no traces of blood, but for some reason, she still felt


    like they were covered in blood. She stared at them for a while before abruptly letting go of Eleanor and


    Hailey, rushing out of the ward and into the bathroom, trying desperately to wash the “blood” off her


    hands. But it wouldn’te off.


    She rested her hands on the edge of the sink, looking up at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was


    pale, her lips colorless, and there were dark circles under her


    eyes.

    She told herself, “Liana, you’re like this because of Tyler. He’s dead now. You can live the rest of your


    life in peace. No one will bother you anymore.”


    No one would bother her anymore….


    Thinking about this, for some reason, her eyes welled up with tears. She pped herself hard. Why


    was she being so stupid? Why was she feeling sad? Why should


    she be sad?!


    He was dead. What was the point of being sad?!


    But… her tears were still uncontroble and rolled down. Tyler, the man she had loved with all her


    might when she was young. She actually shot and killed him with her own hands. She pped herself


    again, scolding herself for crying over a man who had bullied her since childhood and even made her


    infertile. He deserved what he got. He deserved it!


    Feeling like she was being torn apart inside, she turned on the faucet and sshed cold water on her


    face. After wiping her face with a piece of tissue, she looked at herself in the mirror, her face


    expressionless.
