A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 617

She didn't want her issues to rain on everyone’s parade so she hastily invited them in, "It's chilly out here. Come on in."

Just as she was about to usher the duo into the villa, the door of the Lincoln car slowly opened, and a man of almost 1.9 meters tall stepped out.

Liana thought that Mr. Laurence would drive off after dropping them, but to her surprise, he got out of the car and walked up to her, saying seriously, "Liana, give her a check-up first...."

Taken aback, Liana looked at the perfectly fine Eleanor, "What's wrong? Feeling under the weather?"

Before Eleanor could even blush, Hailey quickly jumped in, "She's having trouble conceiving. Can you check her again?"

Only then did Liana catch on. She quickly ushered them into the living room and got them seated on the couch. She then turned to fetch her equipment.

She asked Eleanor to stretch out her hand and then lifted her fingers to her wrist, intently conducting the test...

Just then, the door to the kitchen swung open and out came Will, dressed in a grey suit, looking clean and gentle, with coffee in hand. The sight of Will appearing in Liana's house left Eleanor and Hailey exchanging surprised glances. However, Will was the picture of cool as he placed the coffee on the table and glanced at them.

"Help yourself to some coffee...."

He said so as if he was entertaining guests, polite and cordially giving off an air of proprietorship. Could it be that Liana and him...?

Liana offered no explanation, but simply looked up at Bernard and said respectfully, "Mr. Laurence, Eleanor's fertility issue is the same as before, not much has changed. But the medicine I prescribed does seem to have some effect. I recommend continuing with the medication and extending the course."

The previous medication course was too short to show any results, which was normal, especially given it had been discontinued for half a year. How could she possibly get pregnant? But Liana firmly believed that as long as the medicine was adjusted according to Eleanor's condition, there was still a high chance of pregnancy.

Liana's words gave Bernard a glimmer of hope and somewhat eased Eleanor's mind, "So how long do I need to take the medication?"

Liana put away her equipment and looked at Eleanor, smiling, "Try for a month, and if you're not pregnant, then take it for another month and try again. Keep repeating this, and you'll know how long you need to take the medicine...."

Even more shocked than Eleanor, Hailey added, "When did this happen. How come I didn't know?"

Liana put down her coffee cup and rested her elbow on the cushion. She casually said, "Just a few days ago, he proposed to me while kneeling in the snow. I wanted to surprise you guys, so I didn't tell you...."

Judging from Liana's tone, had she said yes?

Both Eleanor and Hailey were somewhat in disbelief, yet they didn't know what to say. They could only stare blankly at Liana. Liana, on the other hand, leaned back on the couch, watching their surprised faces, "Are you wondering why I said yes?"

They both nodded, Liana extended her fair fingers. She drew back the curtain, looked at the snowy scene outside, and said softly, "All this while, it's been Will taking care of me. His attentive care made me feel... loved."

She used to always think that she was despised, but it turns out she was loved too.
