A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1062

Hailey, in her thirties, had experienced numerous trials and tribulations. Eleanor, too, had endured hardships, yet she was luckier than Hailey, for she had at least found her own sister, seen their mother's video recording, and knew what they look like. However, Hailey remained unaware of her own parents' identity.

Reflecting on Hailey's years of suffering, Eleanor felt deep compassion and embraced her tenderly. "Hailey, it's my failure for not protecting you adequately," she lamented. Eleanor realized that she should have intervened promptly when she recognized Yeager's true nature, as it ultimately led to Hailey's ordeal.

Having shed tears already, Hailey lifted her hand, swathed in gauze, and gently stroked Eleanor's long tresses, comforting her with soft words. "I'm fine now, you needn't worry or blame yourself." The predicament Hailey faced was not Eleanor's doing. It was her own tendency to misjudge people emotionally, always having to face adversity and invest everything to gain clarity.

In truth, she, a person of this nature, ought not to attempt marriage; instead, she should embrace a solitary life, thus finding peace and tranquility. Contemplating this, Hailey glanced at Cedric, who still sat by the bedside, and her heart filled with bitterness, causing her eyes to well up once more.

"Mr. Laurence, I thank you for saving me," she said with a calm tone, seemingly attempting to distance herself from him with a simple expression of gratitude.

Cedric frowned slightly, wanted to say something, but didn't. He just wanted to wait until she had passed this painful period before talking to her again.

"You rest up, I have some stuff to deal with."

With that, Cedric got up to leave, seeing Bernard outside the ward.

"Where to?"

Cedric clenched his fist, his forearm muscles tensed, and veins popped out.

"To find Yeager, that jerk!"

He was going to make them pay for what they did.

As Cedric was about to leave, Bernard stopped him.

"I’ve already sent that man to the police station. As for Yeager, I'll deal with him."

Bernard still had to clear Will Webb's name. So he might as well settle these matters once and for all.

"You're dealing with it?"
