A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 974

"I don't wanna see you again."

That was the first time Cedric had said something like that.

His face was pale, his eyes red, looking as if he'd been wronged in a big way.

Hailey wanted to approach to find out what was going on, but Yeager stopped her.

"Mr. Laurence might be too injured, making him emotionally unstable. Let's leave and allow his girlfriend to comfort him."

Yeager's reminder made Hailey realize that Cedric's girlfriend was still present.

Hailey kept quiet, stole a glance at Cedric, and then looked away as she followed Yeager out.

Once they were gone, Cedric curled up in pain, and the monitor started blaring.

Seeing Cedric in such agony, Hertha became alarmed and immediately called for the doctor.

Cedric was taken to the ER that day, and it was touch-and-go for a while, but he managed to pull through.

When he finally opened his eyes again, the anger had vanished, replaced by disappointment.

Looking at Cedric lying pale and fragile in the hospital bed, Hertha felt both heartbroken and unsatisfied.

"When you were younger, you had a thing for me. How did all these years pass and you ended up falling for that woman?"

Anyone could see that Cedric was head over heels for Hailey, to the point where he passed out from a single sentence she said.

"What's so great about her besides pissing you off?"

Hertha mumbled in dissatisfaction as she poked a straw into a cup.

"You're seriously injured now, and she's here with her fiancé, bullying you. It's clear she doesn't give a damn about you."

"You broke up with me for her, sent me abroad, and what did you get? Nothing."

Cedric didn't say anything, just stared out of the window.

Seeing him seemingly lose interest in everything due to heartbreak, Hertha helplessly put down her cup.

"Cedric, I was your first love too, I even saved your life. How can you not feel anything?"

The man on the bed remained silent.

Tired of talking, Hertha decided to stay quiet.

She picked up the cup, pried open Cedric's mouth, and put the straw in.

"Get some water in you."

Cedric refused to drink and spat out the straw.

"Get out!"

Hertha's face turned blue with anger, but thinking of marrying Cedric, she swallowed it down.

"Who's gonna look after you if I go? You're expecting that woman to take care of you?"

"She didn't even want to see you. It was her fiancé who dragged her here."
