A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 977

She'd just hung up the phone with Eleanor when Marina walked in with Yeager. "Dr. Yeager, have you had your breakfast yet? Do you want me to get some food for you?"

Yeager politely declined, "Thanks Marina, but I've already had my breakfast, so don't trouble yourself."

Marina was always fond of these polite youngsters, unlike that Mr. Laurence who was always haughty and expected Hailey to wait on him hand and foot.

Marina chuckled and led him to the dining room, "Hailey, Dr. Yeager came bright and early to see you."

Hailey was just about to go find Yeager, but seeing him already there, she invited him to sit down.

Marina cleaned up Hailey's leftover breakfast, then brought them both a cup of coffee.

After Marina had finished her tasks, Hailey turned to Yeager, "I was just about to go look for you, didn't expect you to beat me to the punch."

Yeager didn't ask why Hailey was looking for him, instead he reached out, holding Hailey's hands tightly, apologizing sincerely:

"Hailey, I'm sorry, I was too selfish yesterday. I was the one who suggested you visit Mr. Laurence, but I couldn't help but tag along. Maybe I was scared you'd go back to him because he's hurt. I was so dumb to try to keep you by my side this way, I didn't realize my presence would piss off Mr. Laurence. I'm really sorry."

Yeager's eyes were filled with regret, looking like he'd made a huge mistake, appearing extremely guilty and helpless.

Hailey shifted her gaze away from Yeager's face, looking down at the hands that were tightly gripping hers. She felt an urge to pull away, but Yeager's grip was strong, holding on like a lifeline.
