Chapter 983
She lifted her hand, giving Cedric a light pat on the back, just like the way she used to comfort him when he needed it.
“Mr. Laurence, you polla hang tough”
དྷཝཱ
Even pulling her into a tight embrace, Cedric could feel her slipping away
Fear crept in, and he held Hailey lighter
“Hailey. If you walk away today, I’ll be mad at you
He was a decent guy, he wouldn’t go overboard even if he was mad.
Hailey gently stroked his hair
“Cedric, I can’t turn back…”
He thought If he held on to her, she wouldn’t leave, but she still wanted to go.
Cedric slowly let go of Halley, his eyes filled with helpless fatigue.
“Are you sure?”
Hailey stood in front of the sickbed, looked at him, and then slowly nodded.
She was always a determined woman, once she made up her mind, it was hard to change. Cedric knew her character well.
But facing such a determined Hailey, Cedric’s eyes were full of helplessness and fatigue.
“Then go ”
He lay in bed, turning his head to look out the window.
Looking at his pale yet still handsome profile, Hailey drew a full stop in her heart for their five–year relationship
“Mr. Laurence, goodbye”
Hailey’s figure gradually disappeared, Cedric turned his head, watched her, his fists clenched.
“Hailey, if you walk out that door today, there’s no coming back!”
This was his last chance, if missed, it would be gone.
Hailey paused for a long time, but in the end, she still left.
“Hailey”
Cedric tried to get up and chase after her, but the pain stopped him.
“Hailey..
Cedric lay on the bed, desperately calling her name, but she didn’t stop despite his plea Tears silently streamed down his face, landing on the back of his hand. He pulled up the blanket, covering his face.
Bernard and Eleanor stood outside the door, witnessing the emotional scene. They exchanged glances, and Eleanor leaned in to whisper in Bernard’s ear.
“Darling, I’ll go check on Hailey You go comfort Cedric
Cedric appeared to be in distress, so it seemed like a better idea for Bernard to go instead of Eleanor Bernard frowned, feeling unsure about his ability to console someone “I’m not good at comforting people,” he admitted

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...
