A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1220

"I promise you, whether it's Hertha, Norene, Judith, or any other woman - I've cut them all loose. No more drama from now on."

Even if other women come after him, he'll steer clear, give them zero chance. He'll even wear a mask when he goes out if he has to.

Facing a sincere and promising Cedric, Hailey shook her head, "But I don't trust you."

In the process of building trust, she was always defeated by the women around Cedric.

Right now, all she had from Cedric were promises, no sense of security.

It was hard for her to trust him, and she didn't want to choose to trust, only to experience the pain of disappointment again and again.

Her disbelief left Cedric frozen in place. After staring at Hailey for a while, he coldly said, "So, you're still considering abortion?"

Hailey lowered her head, her silence was affirmation in Cedric's eyes.

"Hailey, I wish I could just open up your heart and see what's inside."

Even after clearing up misunderstandings, she was still so cold. It just showed that she didn't really love him.

With that thought, every breath Cedric took was painful.

The heartache made him slowly let go of Hailey.

"If you want an abortion, go ahead. I swear, even if I die, I won't look at you again."

After saying that, he took a step back. His bloodshot eyes glanced at Hailey one last time before he turned around and left.

As his figure disappeared behind the operating room, Hailey leaned on the side of the operating table and slowly squatted down.

Outside the ward, Marina saw Cedric storm off and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hailey." Marina squatted down, putting her hand on Hailey's shoulder.

"After all, it's your child. Don't give it up just because you're having issues with Cedric."

Ms. Shultz wanted a child but couldn't have one, Hailey was lucky to have one and should cherish it.

Hailey hugged her knees tightly, burying her head in her arms. She was surrounded by fatigue and pain.

"Marina, am I a coward?"

Seeing Hailey curled up in front of her, Marina opened her arms and held her.

"Cedric is actually much better than most affluent heirs. It's just your past experiences that make you afraid to trust him."

Marina gently patted her back.

"I understand you, but Hailey, life is short. If you take things easier, you will feel stronger."
