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 Lianaing 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 pharmaceuticalpany, 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.”


    Thest 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 esctor,


    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 forputers made him a


    hotmodity 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 sessor in the Howell family


    business


    Sadly, before Tyler could even graduate high school, he made an irreversible mistake and vited her,


    leading to him being ostracized by all the Howells. and losing his right to inherit the family business.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    If not for that, Tyler might have followed his grandpa’s footsteps into medicine, instead of bing 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.


    After a while, he asked the deep–in–thought Liana, “Liana, as I mentioned before, once Tyler is taken


    care of, we can patch things up. Now that he’s gone, there’s nothing between us anymore, can we…


    get back together?”


    Ever since they got hitched and Liana was whisked away by Tyler only to be dumped back, she and


    Will have been on the outs, with no reconciliation in sight.


    Will didn’t push Liana. He just figured Tyler was the roadblock, so he decided to take care of Tyler first,


    protecting Liana and hoping to rekindle their romance. But boy, he didn’t see thising.


    He knew it might not be the best time to propose getting back together, but he couldn’t help himself. He


    had this nagging feeling that something was shifting since Tyler’s death, but he just couldn’t put his


    finger on it…
