Chapter 983


    She lifted her hand, giving Cedric a light pat on the back, just like the way she used tofort him


    when he needed it.


    “Mr. Laurence, you po hang tough”


    ???


    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 ”


    Hey 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


    rtionship


    “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 noing back!”


    This was hisst 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..


    Cedricy on the bed, desperately calling her name, but she didn’t stop despite his plea Tears silently


    streamed down his face,nding on the back of his hand. He pulled up the nket, covering his face.


    Bernard and Eleanor stood outside the door, witnessing the emotional scene. They exchanged


    nces, and Eleanor leaned in to whisper in Bernard’s ear.


    “Darling, I’ll go check on Hailey You gofort 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 atforting


    people,” he admitted


    Eleanor gently rubbed his arm, reassuring him “Just say something kind and supportive.”


    With that, she turned around and went to find Hailey with Scott


    Hailey had just run out of the ward, looking quite flustered. They weren’t noticed by her at the door, and


    they didn’t know how she was doing now.


    After Eleanor left, Bernard crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, waiting for the person inside


    to vent and sort out his emotions before he walked in.


    He was tall and handsome. He walked in and sat down on the chair in front of the sickbed, crossing his


    legs, looking like he was interrogating a criminal


    “Except for losing a toy fight when we were kids, I’ve never seen you cry.”


    Cedric was the darling of the Laurence family and the kingpin of the house. No one dared to make him


    cry growing up. This might be the first time, Hailey really did a


    number on him.


    Afterposing himself, Cedric lifted his red eyes, looking at Bernard. Usually, he would try to argue


    but this time, he chose to stay silent.
