Chapter 969
Cedric was quickly rushed to the hospital, where he was promptly taken into the emergency room. Upon receiving news of his car accident, his entire family humedly made their way to the hospital
That night, the entrance to the emergency room was filled with an array of luxury cars, a testament to the Laurence family’s presence. Approximately two hours later, the doors of the ER swung open, and the Laurence family eagerly gathered around to receive an update.
The doctor informed them that Cedric had lost consciousness due to a cut on his forehead from the shattered windshield, resulting in significant blood loss. Fortunately. there were no major issues with his skull or brain However, his spine had sustained an injury, necessitating a month of bed rest.
Hearing this, the Laurences breathed a collective sigh of relief “As long as he’s not paralyzed, that’s all that matters A month in bed isn’t a big deal. It’ll teach him a lesson so that he won’t drive his sports car recklessly they remarked scolding Cedric as they annously made their way to his room
However as soon as they left, the police arrived to question Bernard regarding Cedric’s drunk driving and involvement in a hit and run accident
Meanwhile, Robin was also brought to the hospital He demanded that the Laurences foot the entire bill and send someone to take care of him.
With the police mediating, the Laurences, as the guilty party had no grounds to refuse So, they sent Taylor to look after Robin
However, Robin wasn’t satisfied Out of desperation, Bernard sent Kendrick Laurence, but Robin still kicked him out
Bernard wanted to settle the matter privately, but that depended on Robin’s willingness. So, he and the Laurences went into Robin’s room.
“Pick one‘
Seeing the room full of Laurences, Robin felt elated. Even his injured arm seemed to hurt less.
He smirked at the Laurences, his eyes finally landing on Bernard
“You’ll do
The Laurences thought Robin was nuts, daring to ask Bernard to take care of him?
Even Robin’s bodyguard thought he was overstepping
With his hands in his pockets, Bernard’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“You better pick someone else”
He warned Robin, if he was the one to take care of him, he’d show Robin the dark side of society.
“Pick someone else? Alright, if you say so. I’ll pick someone else.”
It seemed Robin was just using Bernard as a stepping stone. He agreed and his game suddenly shifted to Eleanor….
“She seems nice enough, let her take care of me”
Everyone knew that messing with Bernard’s wife was crossing his line Robin sure had some guts.
But Robin didn’t care, he continued to gesture at Eleanor.
“You come here
Eleanor never expected to be the one picked by Robin. She felt like she was really down on her luck
“I’m not part of the Laurence family, I have no obligation to take care of you”
Robin raised an eyebrow looking determined
“As Bernard’s wife, you’re a Laurence How can you say you have no obligation?”
Spoiled people always make spoiled demands.
Eleanor clenched Bernard’s arm, shooting Robin a disapproving look
“Why don’t you let my husband take care of you?”
It was incredibly embarrassing for Eleanor, a married woman, to find herself in a position where she had to take care of an unmarried man, especially in front of the Laurence family. She couldn’t help but feel the weight of the shame and wondered how she would face everyone after this incident
However, Eleanor was determined not to fall into Robin’s trap “I won’t do it. I only want you to take care of me, she firmly stated, refusing to give in to Robin’s stubborn
demands
Bernard’s handsome face darkened, resembling a stormy sky. He warned Robin, “Don’t push it!”
With a slight titt of his head. Robin smirked, testing the limits “if you’re willing to let Cedric go to jail, then I won’t push it”
The Laurence family was accustomed to handling situations where the other party wasn’t severely injured. However, this time Cedric had struck Robin, their known enemy. They couldn’t simply let it slide
The Laurence family members realized the implications of this altercation and their eyes instinctively scanned Eleanors face, expecting her to agree with their course of action But just as Eleanor was about to step forward and comply Bernard pulled her back, preventing her from making a decision.

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...
