Chapter 1161 Just as Liana was on the brink of suffocation, a series of insistent knocks sounded from the door, one after the other, without cessation.
Liana didnât wish to engage, yet she could faintly discern Eleanorâs anxious entreaties...
âLiana, open the door!â
Upon hearing about Karan, Eleanor and Hailey had attempted numerous times to visit Liana, but they were consistently rebuffed with the assurance that Iâm fine.
Liana maintained an aura of normalcy, working daily, returning home punctually, her routine indistinguishable from the norm, leading the duo to almost believe that Liana could weather this storm.
However, tonight, Eleanor found herself battling insomnia, her heart filled with unrest, her thoughts consumed by Lianaâs trials. She felt that Liana was confronting more than minor tribulations. Having been exploited by her relatives since a young age, and later being compelled to end the life of the person she deeply loved as an adult, how could such torment be easily endured?
She fretted that Liana was merely feigning resilience on the surface, but in reality, she was shouldering all the pain in solitude and might resort to rash actions. Thus, Eleanor immediately arose from her bed, donned a robe, and made a beeline for Liana Bernard also came, he sat in the car, slightly turned his face, watching Eleanor knocking on the door. Seeing her knocking for a while, and the door still not opening, a trace of unease appeared on his face.....
Just as he was about to get out of the car, the door opened, and Liana, drenched, appeared under the street light, pale, looking as if she had just gone through a life and death battle, extremely tired..
Liana came out wrapped in a towel. Bernard was puzzled, but didnât ask, instead turned his gaze forward...
Seeing that Liana finally opened the door, Eleanor immediately walked up and grabbed her hand, âLiana, you look really pale, are you sick?â
Liana initially wanted to end her life right there, but she thought there were still many things she hadnât dealt with, at least she had to tell these people who loved her, so they wouldnât worry about her, and not just quietly leave. So, she stood up from the bathtub....
She held Eleanorâs hand, smiled, and shook her head, âI was just taking a bath in the bathroom, I guess I was in there too long, so Iâm probably a little oxygenâdeprived..â
After saying that, she patted Eleanorâs hand, âIâm fine, you donât need to worry.â
How could Eleanor not worry. âYou didnât open the door for so long, I thought...â
Liana smiled, âDid you think I might do something to hurt myself?â
Eleanor looked at Liana, didnât say anything, but her eyes had already answered the question.
Seeing this, Liana couldnât help but laugh again, âSilly girl, Iâm grown up, I wonât act impulsively just because of these difficulties The ease and indifference that Liana showed made Eleanor unable to distinguish the truth, all she could do was open her arms and give Liana a hug.
âLiana, if you feel unbearable, come to me and Hailey, we will always be by your side and never leave...â
Eleanorâs hugs were always warm, every time she leaned on her shoulder, she felt healed. But this time, Liana couldnât feel that warmth, she felt her body was cold as if she was in the North Pole, even Eleanor couldnât warm her up.
Lianaâs heart was like in hell, surrounded by darkness, no one could rescue her, even light couldnât penetrate that darkness. Behind, she had been struggling in the darkness, while on the surface, she was still pretending to be okay, smiling and patting Eleanorâs back.
âDonât worry, Iâll be fine. If I have any troubles, I would have come to you and Hailey to talk about it.â
As she comforted Eleanor, she looked up at the man sitting in the luxury car in the distance, knowing that Mr. Laurence was here for Eleanor, so she let go of Eleanor.
âAlright, youâve seen me, Iâm fine, Iâm living well, so go home and rest, donât keep your husband waitingâ
When saying goodbye, she joked with Eleanor, just like before, always daring to make jokes about her and Bernard.
Seeing Liana like this, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried.
Til go tell Bernard, let him go back first, tonight, Iâll stay with you.â
Liana was surprised to hear this, and quickly stopped Eleanor.
âLittle princess, donât get me in trouble, if you stay over, he might tear this house down.â
âHe wonât do that.â

âHe would, he dares!â
Before Eleanor could say anything, Liana was already pushing her out.
âGo home, stop bothering me, I need to rest.â
Liana sent Eleanor away, then closed the door, leaned against it, let her body slide down along the door, and finally sat on the floor.
She hugged her knees, put her chin on her knees, the room was only lit by a dim little lamp, the light dancing on her haggard face.
What was she thinking about? She wasnât thinking about anything. She just felt that everything in the world had lost its meaning. Why couldnât she feel it when there were still so many people who loved her?
