A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 972

Cedric, in a cold tone, told Hertha:"I've already broken up with you, I don't need your care."

"But I want to care for you."

Just as Hertha was responding to Cedric, a man's voice came from outside the door. She turned her head to look.

"Mr. Laurence, my fiancée and I have come to see you..."

Upon seeing Hailey appear, Cedric's heart unexpectedly clenched. He hadn't anticipated her showing up. If it weren't for Yeager being by her side, Cedric might have thought she came out of genuine concern for him. Unfortunately, she arrived hand in hand with Yeager...

Cedric's face darkened, and his eyes gleamed coldly. Hertha's contemptuous tone and Cedric's displeasure added to the awkward atmosphere, making Hailey feel uncomfortable. Nevertheless, Yeager pulled her along, leaving her no choice but to steel herself and approach Cedric.

"Mr. Laurence, I heard about your car accident... Yeager and I came to see you," Hailey stated, trying to sound sympathetic.

Cedric couldn't help but feel hurt. He wondered if she came to witness his struggle, to see how he suffered for her. After all, she had already hurt him the night before, and now she had brought her fiancé to see him. It felt cold and uncaring.

Cedric, holding back his anger, turned his gaze out the window, not wanting to look at them again.

His resentment was totally understandable. Even Hailey felt that she and Yeager shouldn't have been there.

After standing still for a few seconds, she took the fruit from Yeager, walked to the bed, and put the fruit on the bedside table.

"Yeager bought some fruit for you. I'll leave it here. Take care of yourself. We'll be going now..."

After saying this, Hailey turned around, wanting to leave the room quickly. But then she heard Cedric's angry voice behind her.

"Do I need your fruit?!"

Cedric stared at Hailey's retreating figure, fire in his eyes.
