Chapter 971
When Hailey got the call from Eleanor, she was just stepping into a restaurant with Yeager
Upon hearing that Cedric had been in a car accident and had hit someone, she instantly froze in her tracks.
“Is he how’s he doing row? Her voice was shaky Eleanor picked up on it and figured Hailey still cared about Cedric
“He lost a lot of blood and it’s pretty senous stuff You you wanna go see him?” Eleanor asked.
Yeager overheard and said. “You should go check on him.”
When Yeager suggested she should go see Cedric, Hailey glanced at him.
Seeing his open and calm gaze, Hailey no longer hesitated
“Eleanor, send me the address of the hospital. Hailey said.
After receiving the address, Hailey anxiously said to Yeager, “I’m going to see Cedric first, I’ll come back and have dinner with you later.”
With that, she rushed off in the direction of the parking lot, forgetting even to invite Yeager to come with her.
Yeager watched Hailey’s receding figure, his fist subconsciously clenched.
Over at Cedric’s, once Chase heard about the situation, he brought a bunch of friends to see him.
Seeing the crowded room, Bernard decided to take Eleanor and step out.
With Chase around. Sigrid wouldn’t stick around either, so she left with thern.
Surrounded by a bunch of guys, Cedric was annoyed and shooed everyone away
After the room emptied out, Cedric swiveled his eyes, his face clouded with gloom as he looked out the window.
Hailey drove quickly to the hospital and practically ran to Cedric’s room.
Peeking through the glass, seeing Cedric lying in bed with bandages around his head and a pale face, Hailey’s heart hurt.
She quickly moved towards the room’s entrance. Just as she pushed the door open, she saw Hertha coming out of the bathroom.
“Cedric, is there anything you want to eat or drink? I can go get it for you” Hertha naturally sat by Cedric’s bed, holding his hand and looking at him lovingly.
“You’re hurt so badly, you need to take in some nutrients Hertha said.
Cedric tried to pull his hand back but couldn’t move. I’m fine, he responded flatly.
Hertha reached out and touched his forehead, “You’re still bleeding
After saying that, she sadly added, “I was just away for a bit and you got hurt so badly. Seems like you really can’t manage without me.”
Hearing this, Hailey instinctively closed the door again.
She had thought that Cedric had broken up with Hertha since he stopped bringing her around.
Turns out Hertha was just away, and that’s why Cedric hadn’t been seen with her.
It seemed that what Cedric had said to her last night was just a way to kill time when his girlfriend wasn’t around and he was lonely.

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...
