A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 983

She lifted her hand, giving Cedric a light pat on the back, just like the way she used to comfort him when he needed it.

"Mr. Laurence, you gotta hang tough..."

Even pulling her into a tight embrace, Cedric could feel her slipping away.

Fear crept in, and he held Hailey tighter.

"Hailey, if you walk away today, I'll be mad at you..."

He was a decent guy, he wouldn't go overboard even if he was mad.

Hailey gently stroked his hair.

"Cedric, I can't turn back..."

He thought if he held on to her, she wouldn’t leave, but she still wanted to go.

Cedric slowly let go of Hailey, his eyes filled with helpless fatigue.

"Are you sure?"

Hailey stood in front of the sickbed, looked at him, and then slowly nodded.

She was always a determined woman, once she made up her mind, it was hard to change. Cedric knew her character well.

But facing such a determined Hailey, Cedric's eyes were full of helplessness and fatigue.

"Then go."

He lay in bed, turning his head to look out the window.

Looking at his pale yet still handsome profile, Hailey drew a full stop in her heart for their five-year relationship.

"Mr. Laurence, goodbye."

Hailey's figure gradually disappeared, Cedric turned his head, watched her, his fists clenched.
