A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1143
When she heard his name, Liana finally took a good look at him. He wasn’t that young, naive kid anymore. Now he was all
dashing and polished, handsome as hell.
Recognizing him, Liana flashed a smile and responded, “I heard you’ve settled overseas. What brings you back here, and to a
hospital of all places?”
Seeing Liana was like seeing an old friend to Jules. It was familiar and warmed his heart, and his enthusiasm showed. “My
grandma hasn’t been feeling too well, so my mom asked me to come back and check on her. I didn’t expect to run into you here
at the hospital.”
He then turned his gaze back to Liana, “By the looks of your getup, you’re a doctor now?”
Liana nodded, not saying much, but Jules continued, “Back in high school, you always talked about going to medical school. I
thought you were just blowing hot air, I didn’t expect you to actually become a doctor.
“By the sound of it, you don’t seem to think much of the profession, Liana retorted with a laugh.
Jules quickly waved his hands, “Not at all. I just didn’t think you’d follow in Tyler’s footsteps after all that happened...”
He then paused and apologized, “I apologize. I shouldn’t have said that.”
Liana just shook her head, “It’s alright, that’s all in the past...”
Bringing up Tyler again, Jules asked, “Did you know Tyler passed away?”
Liana’s face turned pale, but she managed to maintain her composure and nodded, “I know.”
Jules let out a deep sigh, reflecting on Tyler’s untimely demise, “Though he died young, there’s some truth to the saying, ‘you
reap what you sow. Tyler did a lot of bad things, and that’s why he died so young...
Thinking back to his own past regrets and missed opportunities, Jules couldn’t 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 Tyler’s people.

Feeling guilty, Jules insisted on taking Liana out for a meal. At first, she declined, but he reassured her, “Liana, don’t worry. I
don’t have any other intentions. I just see you as a friend.”
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 thumbs–up, “I didn’t know you were not only a doctor but also the hospital director. You’re pretty
badass now.”
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, “So, what do you do for
a living?”
Jules had originally planned to take Liana to a fancier place, but he understood her frugal and considerate nature. So, he didn’t
push it and replied, “I’m working on research and development abroad, something related to programming”
Speaking of programming, he couldn’t help but mention Tyler. “I owe my career to Tyler. If he hadn’t 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.”
Jules‘ family was pretty well–off in B City, so Liana asked, “Why didn’t you take over the family business instead of running off
overseas to do R&D?”
Jules took a sip of his water and replied nonchalantly. “My brother’s the heir to the family business, he’ll take care of everything.
As for me, I prefer to do what I love without any constraints. Besides, I’ll still get a share of the family fortune, so isn’t that a win–
win?”
He then laughed at himself, “Don’t laugh at me, these are my ambitions.”
Jules was a good guy, Liana had always known. How could she make fun of such a kind and optimistic person? “You’re doing
good.”
Looking confident and radiant, Jules raised his eyebrows at Liana, “Right? I thought so too.”

They say a man’s 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 Tyler’s death, it had been
hard for Liana to laugh. genuinely. It was as if she was shouldering a heavy burden that didn’t allow her to let out a genuine
laugh.
