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 ident 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 nced 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’lle


    back and have dinner with youter.”


    With that, she rushed off in the direction of the parking lot, forgetting even to invite Yeager toe 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 ss, 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 tly.


    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 herst night was just a way to kill time when his girlfriend


    wasn’t around and he was lonely.


    A pang of pain hit Hailey’s heart. She didn’t know why it hurt, it just did.


    The pain made her clutch her chest and lean against the wall outside the room, struggling to regte


    her breath. That’s when Yeager came over, carrying fruits and flowers.


    “Hailey, why aren’t you going in?”


    Hailey hadn’t expected Yeager toe. After the initial surprise, she didn’t know how to exin to him.


    Yeager peered into the room through the ss, gave a small smile, then walked up and took Hailey’s


    hand.


    “Let’s go see Mr. Laurence together…”


    Hailey was a bit reluctant, but Yeager pushed open the door, tightly holding her hand, and led her in.


    “Mr. Laurence, my fiancée and I havee to see you…”
