Sitting on the yoga mat in the living room, Hailey wipes the sweat off her forehead with a towel and asks Eleanor, "Who's that guy?"
Hailey hadn't seen Tyler before, so she had no idea who he was. Eleanor explained, "He's Liana's brother..."
She remembered Liana mentioning that although Tyler was technically her brother, they weren't actually related by blood, and their relationship was pretty complicated.
Hailey eyed Eleanor nervously, "Is Liana's brother into you or something?"
Coming to find Eleanor late at night, it was obvious he was up to something. If Bernard found out, Tyler would probably be screwed.
Eleanor laughed and took the milk from the maid, handing it to Hailey, "Tyler's Liana's boyfriend. Don't overthink it."
Hailey, who had just taken a sip of milk, almost choked, "Cough, cough, cough! What's going on?!"
Aren't they siblings?!
After teasing Hailey, Eleanor laughed and walked out of the villa.
"Dr. Howell, what brings you here so late?"
Tyler, who was smoking, saw her coming out, broke the cigarette in his hand and threw it in the trash.
"Is Liana here?"
Liana didn't have many friends, and the only ones she was close to were Eleanor and Hailey.
Tyler had been looking for Liana for nearly half a month, and since he couldn't find her, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and come to Eleanor.
Eleanor shook her head, "She's not here."
A look of anxiety appeared on Tyler's handsome face, "Do you know where she went?"
Eleanor looked puzzled at Tyler, "Liana's at an international conference, didn't you know?"
Tyler's face turned pale, "The conference ended early, but she and Dr. Webb didn't come back."
"Liana, you're back?"
Liana walked up to Eleanor with a smile and picked up the medicine box in her hand, shaking it, "I brought you your medicine."
Eleanor said "thank you" before telling her, "Liana, Tyler's been looking for you everywhere. Have you seen him?"
Liana's cheerful expression disappeared when she heard Tyler's name, "I don't want to see him."
Eleanor hesitated but didn't ask Liana why. She just took the medicine box from her and placed it on the small round table in the garden.
Liana and Tyler had always seemed close the few times in the past, but Liana apparently wasn't happy and seemed forced.
There must be some unspeakable history between them. Since Liana wasn't talking, Eleanor wouldn't ask to avoid reopening her old wounds.
Liana didn't explain further, only changing the subject, "Eleanor, after taking the medicine for half a month, you should be able to try with Mr. Laurence again."
Put it on the table, turn on the hands-free phone, Bernard's voice suddenly came through the phone, "Try what?"
