A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1079

Hailey's injuries were mostly physical, she didn't stay in the hospital long and was discharged pretty quickly.

Liana came to the hospital on the day Hailey was discharged, helping her pack up her stuff. Every time Liana saw Hailey, she felt a pang of guilt because of the whole Yeager thing.

Liana was the one who introduced Yeager and Hailey, even vouched for the guy. So, when everything went south and Hailey got hurt, Liana felt like she had messed up big time.

However, Hailey didn't seem to care too much. She even comforted Liana, telling her not to beat herself up. Hailey said that this incident was nothing compared to all the crap she's been through since she was a kid.

“Besides, Yeager got what was coming to him, right?”

When Bernard got wind of Yeager using Garett to stir the pot, he put some pressure on the people handling the case. Before you know it, Yeager was thrown in the slammer.

They were not sure if Cedric was involved or not, but either way, the lawyer that Yeager’s parents hired got schooled by Chase in court.

Yeager getting life in prison was a done deal, not because he tried to rape someone, but because he intentionally hurt a patient.

Mr. Caporal’s family and students have some clout internationally. They were never going to let Yeager off the hook, that’s for sure.

The reason Bernard didn't take care of Yeager right away was because it involved a hospital patient. He thought it was up to the patient's family to deal with it.

Liana was well aware of all this, but she was worried that Yeager triggering Garett’s condition could affect Mr. Laurence and Eleanor’s relationship.

"Severe depression is a challenging condition to treat. I'm not sure what will happen when Eleanor meets Garett," said Hailey, as she was changing clothes. She recalled Garett's seemingly composed demeanor, but with a glimmer of despair in his eyes, and her expression turned serious.

"In reality, if Garett can let go of Eleanor, he should be able to recover," Hailey added optimistically.

However, as a medical professional, Liana didn't share the same view. "Mr. Falsey's depression may not necessarily be solely because he can't let go of Eleanor. Depression is an illness, not just an emotion," she explained.

Hailey was about to ask what they should do in such a situation when a pleasant female voice came from outside the ward. "Mr. Laurence, what are you doing here?"

Judith had just finished visiting a colleague and saw Cedric with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall as if waiting for someone. From a distance, the Crystal Area's president looked quite dignified. Judith had a favorable impression of him and walked over to greet him.

Cedric, on the other hand, didn't recognize Judith. After pondering for a moment, he finally remembered that she was the representative from the H Country and nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing that Cedric didn't seem interested in chatting, Judith pouted slightly, her beautiful face radiating a mature allure.
