A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 

Looking at Hertha, Hailey was lost for words. 

She dropped her gaze, staring at the voice recorder in her hands, in a daze. 

Everyone said that Cedric loved her Hertha said the same, so it must be true, right? 

She also believed that Cedric loved her, but… 

“What happened between you and Cedric that night?” 

For Hailey, it didn’t matter how Latonia tried to help her son, all she cared about was Cedric. 

At this question, Hertha couldn’t help but laugh. 

“Ms. Vulpe, are you still holding out hope for Cedric?” 

“Yes.” 

Hailey laughed too, the sunlight hitting her face, making her seem incredibly radiant. 

“I hope all this is a lie, so…” 

Hailey paused, taking a deep breath. 

“Could you give me a plausible explanation, like before?” 

Hertha looked at her, seeing the redness in Hailey’s eyes when she said this, she could imagine how hard this must be for her. 

If Hertha were a kind person, she would feel sorry for Hailey, but sadly, she wasn’t. She was just a woman spoiled by her parents from a young age. She had no empathy, only the urge to destroy what she couldn’t have, no matter the cost. 

“Ms. Vulpe, think about it. A drunk man and a woman who deeply loves him, spending so much time alone in a room together, what do you think they’d do?” 

Hailey’s face gradually turned pale, gripping the voice recorder tightly in her hands. 

“Cedric…he’s never been the faithful type, he…” 

“He said he’d be faithful to me.” Hailey cut Hertha off, firmly. 

Hertha smirked, “Is that so?” 

She looked as if she’d heard a hilarious joke, her face full of mockery. 

“If he were truly faithful, he wouldn’t have slept with me, nor would have let his mother deal with me…” 

with 

After saying this, Hertha looked at Hailey, her hand clenched tightly around the voice recorder. 

“If you can forgive the betraying Cedric, then go ahead believe that he will be faithful to you.” 

With that, Hertha put on her sunglasses, stood up, and left. 

Watching Hertha’s retreating figure, tears slowly rolled down Hailey’s cheeks… 

She sat on the bench for a long time, until Colter Clowers came by, snapping her back to reality. 

“Hailey, you don’t look so good. Do you feel unwell?” 

Hailey shook her head. Colter understood that she was feeling down, so he didn’t press further. 

“Colter, I need to cook for Garett. Can you give me a ride home?” 

Even though the hospital was close to home, she didn’t have the energy to walk. 

“Sure, I’ll go fetch the car.” 

Hailey nodded, once Colter drove the car to the hospital entrance, she bent over and got in. 

After returning home and cooking, she had Colter deliver the food, then sat down on the couch. 

She curled up into a ball, hugging her knees, resting her thin chin on them. 

Her eyes were dull, staring at the voice recorder and diamond ring on the table, looking utterly exhausted… 

She sat on the couch, motionless, for the entire night. When she got up the next day, she felt a sudden dizziness. 

She thought it was just due to recent overwork, so she didn’t pay much attention to the subtle changes in her body. 

Despite feeling exhausted, she washed up, made breakfast like usual, then went to the hospital. 

Garett was eating breakfast, Colter was handling the discharge procedures, and Hailey was busy tidying up the room.
