A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 975

Now with Hertha gone, it’s just Cedric left in the ward

As she walked in, Cedric shot her a glance, completely uninterested

The look in his eyes stopped her in her tracks, as if she just remembered that he’d mentioned not wanting to see her again.

Hailey stood in the doorway, eyeing Cedric, unsure of what to do for a good while before gathering up the courage to walk up to him.

“You… you okay?”

At first, Hailey had come to inquire about the events of the day, but when she saw Cedric’s pale face, her concern kicked in instinctively

Cedric remained unresponsive, as if he didn’t want to talk to her or see her again, and he shut his eyes.

Feeling unsure of what to say, Hailey stood awkwardly at the foot of his bed for a moment before finally asking. I came here to ask why did you hit Yeager?”

This question seemed to strike Cedric’s already low spirits even harder. He retorted, “Why, are you mad at me for hitting Yeager?”

“I’m not mad about that,” Hailey replied gently. “I’m just worried about you.”

Cedric’s gaze turned cold as he interrupted, “Worried that after I recover, I’ll go looking for trouble?”
