Chapter 1057
Just as Yeager started to speak, Hailey raised her bottle and smashed it on his forehead
The moment the glass shattered, the liquor splashed on Yeager’s face, the shards cutting into Hailey’s hand
Blood flowed from her wound, dripping onto Yeager’s forehead, mingling with his own blood..
The bright red blood stained the white sheets, and also Yeager’s eyes
He had initially thought Hailey was a gentle woman, but he never expected such a violent side from her.
“Hailey, you’re really good at disguising yourself”
“I told you, everyone has two sides, you only saw one of mine.”
After saying this, Hailey picked up a shard of glass from the berlsheet, and pressed it against Yeager’s throat
Yeager was shocked by her actions, tried to push her away, but suddenly he felt dizzy and his vision blurred.
He had been hit by a bottle, obviously he was concussed, he couldn’t move, and he could only grit his teeth and glare at Hailey who was sitting on him.
“Hailey, are you trying to kill me?”
Hailey shook her head, expressionless.
“I just wanted to tell you, we’re done. If you try any dirty tricks on me again, this piece of glass will pierce your throat.”
Yeager didn’t believe she would dare to bear the guilt of murder, but Hailey just lowered her head slightly, her eyes red and swollen, staring at him fiercely
“I’m an orphan, I have no parents, I fear nothing, even if it means risking my life to kill you…”
After saying these chilling words, Hailey quickly climbed off the bed, and before leaving, she grabbed her phone from the ice bucket
Holding her phone, she braced against her dizziness, opened the glass door, and staggered towards the elevator, Yeager followed her, clutching his head.
“Hailey, we’ve been together for a hundred days. Have you never had feelings for me?”
Hailey glanced back at him, but she didn’t stop pressing the elevator button
Yeager leaned against the wall, took a few steps, feeling a bit unsteady, his head spinning
He tried to steady himself, wanting to catch up to Hailey, but the elevator doors opened at that moment…
Hailey quickly jumped in and pressed the close button-
By the time Yeager reached the elevator, the doors had already closed, leaving him outside.
As Hailey felt the elevator start to descend, her body felt limp and she collapsed against the wall.
She hugged her arms tightly leaning against the cold wall, finally feeling a sense of safety
With a sickening feeling gnawing at her insides, Hailey frantically tried to turn on her phone. But having been drenched, it didn’t respond. The screen remained black and as she shook it, water trickled out…
Fearful that Yeager might come after her, she didn’t try her phone again, her eyes anxiously darting to the elevator’s display panel. As soon as the elevator reached the ground floor and the doors slid open, she made a dash for it.
Stumbling towards the hotel reception, she intended to ask the staff to help her call the police or an ambulance. But to her dismay, she realized the receptionist was a foreigner.
The hotel was internationally managed and typically catered to high–end business clientele…
Despite her circumstances, Hailey managed to stay on her feet. Gritting her teeth, she struggled to maintain balance as she shakily exited the hotel.
Just as she left the hotel, she saw a car parked at the entrance and a tall figure emerging from it.
Through her blurry vision, when she saw that handsome face of Cedric, Hailey’s eyes started to water.
She leaned against the pillars at the hotel entrance, wanting to call his name, but she saw Hertha rush over and fling herself into his arms.
From a distance, Hailey couldn’t make out Cedric’s expression, she just turned around and forced herself to walk down the side road

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
