Chapter 1160


    Liana froze on the spot, freaked out by the sight before her, not daring to move forward. She spun on


    her heels and bolted for the bathroom door, emotions running wild, carelessly running down the stairs


    all the way to the dean’s office.


    She wanted to head back to her office for a breather, but upon reaching the door, Tyler greeted her


    sight. There he was, decked out in a white suit, arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the wall


    On seeing her, he cocked his head slightly and nodded in her direction.


    “Dr. Terrill, you’re still a knockout, even after ten years.”


    Liana couldn’t keep it together, she squatted down, hugging her arms tightly, tears gushing out of her


    eyes like pearls off a broken string


    Who can save her?


    But no one came to Liana’s rescue, she had to save herself, by taking pills for self–help.


    She was a doctor, she thought it was just post traumatic stress disorder, she thought, just hang in there


    for a while, everything would go back to normal, Tyler would


    be gone


    But she didn’t see iting, she couldn’t escape this shadow Tyler was everywhere, like a shadow,


    always by her side.


    She tried to keep her work regr, while trying to live peacefully with the imagined Tyler, even arguing


    with him sometimes.


    Every time this happened, Liana would think, if Tyler were still around, their rtionship would probably


    be like this, in and longsting


    Too bad, there are no ifs.


    Liana thought she was handling it quite well, until one evening, she saw Tyler sitting by her bed, head


    down, not uttening a word.


    Fresh out of the shower Liana, hallucination or not, went straight over, squatted in front of him, reached


    out and gently touched his face, “What’s the matter?”


    Tyler felt her touch, slowly raised his eyes, looking at Liana, “You promised to be with me for a month,


    but you only stayed for a day.”


    Liana’s fingers stiffened, tears slid down uncontrobly.


    Tyler was indifferent to her tears. He merely tightened his grip on her wrist, yanked her into his


    embrace, and questioned her icily, “When will you join me?”


    Liana remained silent for a few moments, then she enfolded Tyler in her arms, “Do you desire my


    company?”


    Tyler nodded, “I’m deste here on my own, Liana. Join me, I’m awaiting your presence….


    Despite vanishing shortly after uttering these words, Liana stood immobilized, her hand lingering on the


    spot where he had sat, cold and devoid of warmth. She was aware that he was not real, merely a


    phantom of her imagination, yet Liana wept unrestrainedly.


    As it transpires, when someone truly departs, one begins to perceive the weight of the love that lies


    buried deep within the heart, and how uncontainably it burgeons


    Liana found herself in this predicament. She believed she no longer harbored love for Tyler, but it


    dawned on her that genuine detachment from someone implies releasing all sentiments associated


    with them, even hatred ceases to exist.


    However, she was incapable of such detachment. For the past decade, her life revolved around


    despising Tyler. She had never truly relinquished her animosity towards him, which is why she


    remained entwined with Tyler.


    Liana stared at the moonlight outside the window, recalling Tyler’s words when he was alive, as long as


    she stayed with him for a month, he would let her go. Tyler truly wanted to spend a month with her,


    that’s why he gave her a gun with only one bullet….


    He did this to tell Liana, if he still couldn’t let go when the time was up, let her pull the trigger. He used


    this gun to restrain himself, while also testing Liana, to see if she would shoot him to escape him.


    Tyler lost, or rather, Liana never let him win. So when the bullet hit his heart, he didn’t even make a


    sound, just tremblingly handed her the handcuff key, letting her


    and Will leave…


    Liana wondered, what did Tyler want to say when he grabbed her ankle? Was he trying to exin the


    past? Why didn’t he say it in the end? Was it because he thought she no longer loved him, only saw


    Will in her eyes, so he thought it was meaningless to say it?


    Liana couldn’t find the answer, she just stood up, turned on the bathtub faucet, filled it with water, and


    climbed in….


    They say, if the water drowns up to the heart, you’ll die of suffocation after a while…


    Tyler wanted her to be with him, she should be with him, so he wouldn’t feel lonely in a foreignnd…


    Thinking of this, Liana closed her eyes, slowly sinking into the bathtub…Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
