Chapter 800
Thinking of this, Chase took another look at his watch. “You better gel going now, or you might be too late
Cedric shot him a glance, “Just spit it out if you have something to say.
Chase decided to spill the beans, ‘She’s on the 8th floor, with another man‘
Cedric froze, looking at Chase with disbelief, “Hailey?”
Chase blinked, “Yeah, I saw her going up to the 8th floor with a guy”
Glancing at his watch once more, Chase wondered about their activities during the past half hour. Without delay, the man beside him swiftly dashed out of the room, disappearing in a flash before Chase could fully process what had happened
Amused by the sudden departure, Chase chuckled, recognizing that despite Cedric’s claims of not caring, he had sprinted faster than anyone the moment he heard she was with someone else
Cedric had undeniably been defeated by a woman this time.
However, Chase’s amusement quickly faded, replaced by a gloomy expression He lifted the glass of wine and took a few sips with his fair hand. Once believing alcohol could alleviate all wornes, he now found it bitter. The more he drank, the more bitterness enveloped his senses, perhaps indicative of the heartache he carried within
Chase thought to himself “Cedric is a cautionary tale now I hope you won’t repeat his mistake. Figure out your feelings and treat others right”
Just after Hailey finished her shower, she received a call from Liana.
“Liana, why are you calling so late? Is it Nina causing trouble?”
Hailey was off to B City for the weekend and had asked Liana to look after Nina for safety reasons.
Usually, it was Hailey who took care of Nina. She knew that Nina was quite a handful before bed.
If you didn’t play with her for half an hour, she would refuse to go to bed and that could be really infuriating.
“It’s not Nina, she’s a good girl…
Really?
The Nina, pretending to be asleep in Liana’s arms, seemed so well–behaved, if not for her perky ears that gave her away.
Hailey ran to Liana again to complain When Hailey gets back, she’ll make sure to extend her mischief time to an hour.
Looking at the Nina showing her little fangs, Liana didn’t have the time to deal with her for now
“Is Yeager Alis there? His phone is off, the hospital can’t reach him.”
“He has a patient whose condition has suddenly worsened. If he’s there, tell him to call the hospital ASAP
The hospital couldn’t get hold of the attending doctor so they had to reach out to the dean.
Knowing that both had gone to B City, Liana hurriedly called Hailey.
Hearing the urgency in Liana’s voice, Hailey hastily wrapped herself in a bathrobe and knocked on the door next door.
“Yeager, Liana said that your patient’s condition has suddenly worsened. You need to call the hospital right away”
Just as Yeager opened the door, he hurriedly said to Hailey “My phone fell into the bathtub, it’s waterlogged and temporarily unusable. Can I borrow your phone?”
He was just reaching for his phone when he heard the ring, but he didn’t grab it securely, and it fell into the bathtub. The screen was shattered, and it was waterlogged.
He was trying to dry the phone with a hairdryer, hoping to get it working again, when he heard the urgent knocking at the door. Turns out the hospital was looking for him.
“You better take the call.

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...
