Chapter 1075
Eleanor felt a knot in her stomach, just as she was about to say something, a dark figure suddenly rushed past and slammed Yeager to the ground.
Next thing, the figure was on top of Yeager, fist raised, punching Yeager in the face with all his might.
“You bullied Hailey and bad–mouthed Eleanor right in front of me. You’re just asking for it!”
Cedric had never despised someone so much, to the point where he wished they’d just disappear.
Without holding back, he poured all his strength into his fist, landing blow after blow on Yeager.
Already wounded from a stab, Yeager was no match for Cedric’s attack, especially after getting a beating from his family.
Before long, Yeager’s face was covered in bruises, his mouth split open, spitting out blood after just a few hits.
Afraid that Cedric might kill him, Hailey and Eleanor quickly intervened, pulling furious Cedric away.
Just then, Liana arrived with security. They stepped forward, handcuffed Yeager,
Seeing Yeager subdued, Liana turned to check on Hailey and Eleanor.
“Are you two okay?”
Eleanor shook her head, asking Liana what happened. Weren’t the police involved? How did Yeager end up in the ward?
Liana explained that after handing Yeager over to the police, he told them he hid some evidence against Mr. Caporal in his office.
The security followed him to retrieve it, only for Yeager to shake them off using his knowledge of the hospital layout.
Upon hearing this, Liana guessed Yeager must’ve headed for Hailey’s ward and rushed over with security
Yeager would be charged with murder and attempted rape. But he was a foreigner, so international jurisdiction would take some time. Hailey was shocked to find out that Yeager not only had moral issues but also killed a patient for the Nobel Prize in Medicine and even framed Will. This went beyond a moral issue. It was a sign of extreme darkness in his soul…
She had thought Yeager was a good doctor. After all, he seemed genuinely upset when a patient died during surgery, feeling powerless. It’s that moment that made Hailey accept Yeager, thinking he was a good person who would never hurt her…
Now she realized that moment might’ve been just a façade Yeager put up to win her over quickly. Like she once said, people have two sides. She only saw one side of Yeager….
With Yeager locked up, it’s unlikely he’d be out anytime soon. Hailey knew it’s over between them. It was like a nightmare. And when you wake up from a nightmare, the light is still there. But she felt guilty for dragging Eleanor into this.
After Yeager was taken away by the police, all Eleanor asked Hailey was if Garett really had severe depression. Hailey nodded and Eleanor didn’t say anything else. Seeing Eleanor like this, Hailey was worried that Garett’s situation would affect Eleanor and Bernard’s relationship, so she tightly held Eleanor’s cold hand and began to comfort her.
“Eleanor, Yeager was just fooling you. There’s no way Bernard could’ve known. Garett never planned to tell anyone about his condition. If I hadn’t kept asking, he probably wouldn’t have said anything. Even Yeager just guessed it, so Bernard…
“He knew.”
That’s why Bernard suddenly asked Eleanor what she would do if something happened to Garett.
Eleanor’s words cut Hailey off. She stood there stunned, frowning, looking at the bitter smile on Eleanor’s face.

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...
