A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 991

Dr. Yeager was a recent returnee from abroad and had not been working in the hospital for long. He was known for his polite and gentle manner when interacting with colleagues and patients, always speaking softly and avoiding harsh comments. However, his private behavior didn't entirely match this positive image.

Though Dr. Yeager didn't do anything extremely harmful to Mr. Laurence, his actions were questionable, and when Mr. Laurence sought a fair resolution, Dr. Yeager evaded the issue. To be frank, he tended to avoid responsibility and came up with excuses to persuade Mr. Laurence.

Furthermore, Dr. Yeager used Hailey as a shield on two occasions. Instead of facing the situation directly as her boyfriend, he used her as a human shield, hoping Mr. Laurence would go easy on him for Hailey's sake. However, it was Eleanor who gave Hailey that face in the first place, so she played a crucial role in this situation. Dr. Yeager tried to deflect the issue by involving Garett, claiming that Garett had no connection to it. Yet, the past involving Garett and Eleanor is intertwined, and Dr. Yeager should have considered how his words might affect Eleanor.

The issue that Liana raised was also a matter of concern for Hailey, making her feel guilty and embarrassed.

"Eleanor, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Yeager to use Garett to mock Bernard. If I'd known, I wouldn't have brought him to see Garett."

She had thought that since Garett had severe depression, introducing Yeager to him could show that she, too, had endured a failed marriage and came out stronger. She hoped Garett would see her renewed life and motivate himself to break free from depression. Meanwhile, she hoped Garett could accept Yeager. However, she didn't expect this to become a weapon for Yeager to oppose Bernard.

Whenever Garett was mentioned, Eleanor still felt a bit guilty. Therefore, her friends, including Will, never mentioned the issue of Yeager using Garett to mock Bernard in front of her. Not knowing how to express her feelings, Eleanor just waved at Hailey.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. Don't blame yourself for Dr. Yeager. You brought him to see Garett to reassure him about your future husband. You didn't do anything wrong."

Hailey took a deep sigh and suddenly looked up at Liana.

"Did Yeager say anything else other than this?"

He knew about Garett's severe depression. If this were made public, Eleanor would definitely feel extremely guilty, and her wonderful life with Bernard might be disrupted.

"No, just these two things."

Liana picked up on Hailey's worried look.

"Are you worried about what Dr. Yeager might say to Mr. Laurence?"

Hailey awkwardly shook her head.

Seeing her reluctance, Liana didn't push further.

She took out her phone, pulled up a surveillance video, and handed it over to Hailey.
