Chapter 1143 When she heard his name, Liana finally took a good look at him. He wasnât that young, naive kid anymore. Now he was all dashing and polished, handsome as hell.
Recognizing him, Liana flashed a smile and responded, âI heard youâve settled overseas. What brings you back here, and to a hospital of all places?â
Seeing Liana was like seeing an old friend to Jules. It was familiar and warmed his heart, and his enthusiasm showed. âMy grandma hasnât been feeling too well, so my mom asked me to come back and check on her. I didnât expect to run into you here at the hospital.â
He then turned his gaze back to Liana, âBy the looks of your getup, youâre a doctor now?â
Liana nodded, not saying much, but Jules continued, âBack in high school, you always talked about going to medical school. I thought you were just blowing hot air, I didnât expect you to actually become a doctor.
âBy the sound of it, you donât seem to think much of the profession, Liana retorted with a laugh.
Jules quickly waved his hands, âNot at all. I just didnât think youâd follow in Tylerâs footsteps after all that happened...â
He then paused and apologized, âI apologize. I shouldnât have said that.â
Liana just shook her head, âItâs alright, thatâs all in the past...â
Bringing up Tyler again, Jules asked, âDid you know Tyler passed away?â
Lianaâs face turned pale, but she managed to maintain her composure and nodded, âI know.â
Jules let out a deep sigh, reflecting on Tylerâs untimely demise, âThough he died young, thereâs some truth to the saying, âyou reap what you sow.
Tyler did a lot of bad things, and thatâs why he died so young...
Thinking back to his own past regrets and missed opportunities, Jules couldnât 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 Tylerâs people.
Feeling guilty, Jules insisted on taking Liana out for a meal. At first, she declined, but he reassured her, âLiana, donât worry. I donât have any other intentions. I just see you as a friend.â
A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
ï¤Chapter 1142 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 thumbsâup, âI didnât know you were not only a doctor but also the hospital director. Youâre pretty badass now.â
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, âSo, what do you do for a living?â
Jules had originally planned to take Liana to a fancier place, but he understood her frugal and considerate nature. So, he didnât push it and replied, âIâm working on research and development abroad, something related to programmingâ
Speaking of programming, he couldnât help but mention Tyler. âI owe my career to Tyler. If he hadnât 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.â
Julesâ family was pretty wellâoff in B City, so Liana asked, âWhy didnât you take over the family business instead of running off overseas to do R&D?â
Jules took a sip of his water and replied nonchalantly. âMy brotherâs the heir to the family business, heâll take care of everything. As for me, I prefer to do what I love without any constraints. Besides, Iâll still get a share of the family fortune, so isnât that a winâwin?â
He then laughed at himself, âDonât laugh at me, these are my ambitions.â
Jules was a good guy, Liana had always known. How could she make fun of such a kind and optimistic person? âYouâre doing good.â
Looking confident and radiant, Jules raised his eyebrows at Liana, âRight? I thought so too.â
They say a manâs heart always stays young. Jules was a prime example. His good family background and easy goings had shaped his optimistic personality.
Liana was amused by him and laughed, but it was only on the surface. For some reason, ever since Tylerâs death, it had been hard for Liana to laugh.
genuinely. It was as if she was shouldering a heavy burden that didnât allow her to let out a genuine laugh.
