A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 835

Hailey didn't pop the car door open she just cracked the window to get a look at Cedric outside.

"Why are you here?"

"That doesn't matter; just open up!"

"I'm not opening until you tell me what you're up to."

How was she to know if he was here to stir up trouble with Yeager? How could she just let him in?

Cedric swallowed his anger, lowered his head, and locked eyes with Hailey through the window gap.

"I'm here to help carry the drunk guy upstairs!"

What else could he do? He can't start a fight or get physical, so all he's left with was offering a hand.

"You're helping me get Yeager upstairs?"

Hailey was taken aback and didn't expect Cedric to step up.

"Hailey, are you hearing what I'm saying?"

Seeing Cedric on the verge of losing it, Hailey hesitated for a few seconds before finally unlocking the door.

Only then did Cedric get to the back seat, open the door, grab Yeager by the arm, and haul him out of the car.

"Hey, easy there, you're going to bang his head!"

"He had it coming!"

"..."

Hailey didn't even park properly; she just hurriedly followed.

"Cedric, be careful; he's already hit his head a few times!"

"Can you not drag him across the stairs? His head will get hit."

"Ah-"

Yeager woke up with a jolt, but the pain knocked him right back out.

Hailey, trailing behind, was terrified and immediately rushed to stop Cedric, who was taking this as an opportunity to get back at Yeager.

"How old are you acting so childish?"

Cedric was all set to drag Yeager upstairs, but seeing the stern look on Hailey's face, he switched to carrying him instead.
