Chapter 835
Hailey didn’t pop the car door open she just cracked the window to get a look at Cedric outside
“Why are you here?”
“That doesnt matter, just open up!”
“Im not opening until you tell me what you’re up to ”
How was she to know if he was here to stir up trouble with Yeager? How could she just let him in?
Cedric swallowed his anger, lowered his head, and locked eyes with Hailey through the window gap
“I’m here to help carry the drunk guy upstairs!”
What else could he do? He can’t start a fight or get physical, so all he’s left with was offering a hand.
“You’re helping me get Yeager upstairs?”
Hailey was taken aback and didn’t expect Cedric to step up
“Hailey, are you hearing what I’m saying?”
Seeing Cedric on the verge of losing it, Hailey hesitated for a few seconds before finally unlocking the door
Only then did Cedric get to the back seat, open the door, grab Yeager by the arm, and haul him out of the car
“Hey, easy there, you’re going to bang his head“”
“He had it coming!”
Hailey didn’t even park properly, she just hurriedly followed
“Cedric, be careful, he’s already hit his head a few times!”
“Can you not drag him across the stairs? His head will get hit.”
“Ah-”
Yeager woke up with a jolt, but the pain knocked him right back out.
Hailey, trailing behind, was terrified and immediately rushed to stop Cedric, who was taking this as an opportunity to get back at Yeager.
“How old are you acting so childish?”
Cedric was all set to drag Yeager upstairs, but seeing the stern look on Hailey’s face, he switched to carrying him instead
He carried Yeager to the door, grabbed his hand, hit the fingerprint scanner, the door swung open, and he tossed Yeager right in.
A loud thunk!
Hailey, scared out of her wits, immediately checked on Yeager’s breathing.
Thank God, he was still breathing.
Hailey sighed a breath of relief and struggled to sit Yeager, who was sprawled on the floor, on the
couch
Then she got up to get a basin of water and a towel from the bathroom, planning to wipe Yeager’s face.
But before she could touch Yeager’s forehead, the towel was snatched from her hand by Cedric
“I got it
Cedric seemed to be venting, he held Yeager’s face, scrubbed left three times and right three times, just like wiping a table, gave him a good wipe down, and tossed the towel away
“Done”
“You can leave now!”
Cedric told Hailey to leave.
Hailey was worried about leaving Yeager alone; she hesitated.
Cedric thought she wanted to stick around to take care of Yeager, his face darkened instantly

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...
