A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529
By the time Cedric got there, it was already the c****k of dawn the next day When he found out what had happened from Veronica, he was so p****d off his face turned blue
What the heck does Cameron think he is to lay hands on my brother? I’m going to make him regret it
Cedric was fuming. He was ready to storm off to get back at Cameron but Veronica stopped him in his tracks
“Stay out of it and don’t cause any more trouble”
The one thing Cedric feared the most when growing up was his sister. When she scolded him, he slowly cooled down
Veronica looked at Cedric, Cedric, you’ll be acting president for now You’re in charge of the Laurence Group. Remember, dont reveal Bernard’s situation to anyone” With Bernard still unconscious in the ICU, Cedric was hardly in the mood to run the Laurence Group. He was about to refuse when Veronica’s gaze shifted to Hailey
“And who are you?
Hailey was still wondering why Eleanor had been kidnapped. She was taken aback by Veronica’s question.
Cedric quickly jumped in “She’s a good friend of Ms. Shultz’s, and her name is Hailey”
Veronica nodded, then noticed their hands tightly clasped together, her eyes flickering slightly
Even though Veronica didn’t say anything. Hailey, being the sensitive one, got her drift. So, she said to Cedric, go find Eleanor. Let me know if Mr. Laurence’s condition improves
She tried to pull her hand away, but Cedric held on tight.
“We’ve already got a bunch of people out looking for Ms. Shultz. You should stay here with me and wait. Don’t go anywhere, it’s too risky”
Hailey was about to say something when she saw a woman who she had met before in the gynecology ward come up to Cedric.
“Mom and dad will be here soon
Sigrid briefly reminded Cedric, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Taking this opportunity, Hailey managed to pull her hand free.
She looked up at Sigrid, returning her polite nod with a cordial smile before quickly leaving.
She thought this beautiful and elegant woman was Cedric’s new flame, but it turns out, she was his younger sister. She knew well that Cedric wasn’t the one for her.
As Hailey walked out of the hospital, she looked up at the sky, and her mood grew increasingly somber
Eleanor, where are you now, are you hurt, are you still alive….
As Hailey thought about the worst-case scenario, tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Had she known how cruel fate could be, she would have taken Eleanor away from all this chaos when she had the chance.
In the hospital, 48 hours later, the members of the Laurence family all gathered outside the ICU
Each of them looked handsome dressed in suits. Even the old man with his full head of white hair, looked lively.
They seemed uneasy, but they maintained the cool composure characteristic of the Laurences. They remained silent as the doctor delivered the news.
Tm sorry. Please prepare yourselves for a severe coma-“
