Chapter 974
‘I don’t wanna see you again.”
That was the first time Cedric had said something like that.
His face was pale, his eyes red, looking as if he’d been wronged in a big way
Hailey wanted to approach to find out what was going on, but Yeager stopped her
“Mr. Laurence might be too injured, making him emotionally unstable Let’s leave and allow his girlfriend
tofort tum.”
Yeagers reminder made Hailey realize that Cedric’s girlfriend was still present
Hailey kept quiet, stole a nce at Cedric, and then looked away as she followed Yeager out
Once they were gone, Cedric curled up in pain, and the monitor started ring
Seeing Cedric in such agony Hertha became rmed and immediately called for the doctor.
Cedric was taken to the ER that day and it was touch–and–go for a while, but he managed to pull
through.

When he finally opened his eyes again, the anger had vanished, reced by disappointment.
Looking at Cedric lying pale and fragile in the hospital bed. Hertha fell both heartbroken and
unsatisfied.
“When you were younger, you had a thing for me. How did all these years pass and you ended up
falling for that woman?”
Anyone could see that Cedric was head over heels for Hailey, to the point where he passed out from a
single sentence she said.
“What’s so great about her besides pissing you off?”
Hertha mumbled in dissatisfaction as she poked a straw into a cup.
“You’re senously injured now, and she’s here with her fiancé, bullying you. It’s clear she doesn’t give a
damn about you”
“You broke up with me for her, sent me abroad, and what did you get? Nothing”
Cedric didn’t say anything just stared out of the window
Seeing him seemingly lose interest in everything due to heartbreak, Hertha helplessly put down her
cup.
“Cedric, I was your first love too, I even saved your life. How can you not feel anything?”
The man on the bed remained silent.
Tired of talking, Hertha decided to stay quiet
She picked up the cup, pried open Cedric’s mouth, and put the straw in
“Get some water in you”
Cedric refused to drink and spat out the straw.
*Get out!”
Hertha’s face turned blue with anger, but thinking of marrying Cedric, she swallowed it down.
“Who’s gonna look after you if I go? You’re expecting that woman to take care of you?”
“She didn’t even want to see you. It was her fiancé who dragged her here.”
Hearing these words, Cedric’s long eyshes fluttered slightly, then he looked at Hertha with cold
eyes.
“Did you not hear me when I told you to get out, or are you deaf?!”
Seeing him lose his temper, Hertha put down her cup, grabbed her cigarettes and lighter, and left the
ward
Just as she stepped into the safe passage, a figure appeared in front of her
“Are you Hertha?”
Hertha looked up at Yeager
“I’ve had nothing to do with you, what do you want?”
Yeager took the lighter from Hertha’s hand and lit her cigarette for her.
“I need your help”
After taking a puff, Henha rased an eyebrow and asked
“Help with what?”
Yeager handed back her lighter
“Unless I’m mistaken, you want to marry Cedric, right?”
“Do you need to confirm that? Isn’t it obvious?”
Hertha nced at him, she had been eager to marry into the Laurence family for many years.
“So if Hailey asks you why Cedric hit me,
do you
know what to say?”
Hertha didn’t expect Yeager to be so thorough, even considering the unlikely possibility that Hailey
mighte to her
No wonder Cedric couldn’t beat Yeager. He wasprehensive, detail–oriented. How could Cedric,
with his casual attitude, ever stand a chance?
Ahhough Hertha didn’t want to cooperate with Yeager, knowing that Cedric was deeply in love with
Hailey made her change her mind.
I Hailey knew that Cedric hit Yeager out of anger, wouldn’t that patch up the rift between them?
Andy! the rift between Hailey and Cedric was mended, how could she marry Cedric?
So, for her own future, she had to team up with Yeager
“I know what to say, you can go now…”
Only then did Yeager turn around and leave the safe passage.
Back at home, Halley couldn’t sleep thinking about how Cedric looked when he was upset.
So, she got up, went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and put it in her mouth.
As she took a drag, she suddenly thought of Cedric. He would always snatch the cigarette from her
mouth.
“Hailey, smoking’s not good for women, don’t do it again…”
The mostmon sentence he said to her was to persuade her to quit smoking
Looking at the burning cigarette in her hand, Hailey put it out for the first time.
Then she grabbed a jacket, hopped in the car, and headed straight for the hospital.
