Chapter 1079


    Hailey’s injuries were mostly physical, she didn’t stay in the hospital long and was discharged pretty


    quickly


    Liana came to the hospital on the day Hailey was discharged, helping her pack up her stuff. Every time


    Liana saw Hailey, she felt’a pang of guilt because of the whole Yeager thing


    Liana was the one who introduced Yeager and Hailey, even vouched for the guy So, when everything


    went south and Hailey got hurt, Liana felt like she had messed up big time


    However, Hailey didn’t seem to care too much. She evenforted Liana, telling her not to beat


    herself up. Hailey said that this incident was nothingpared to all the crap she’s been through since


    she was a kid.


    “Besides, Yeager got what wasing to him, right?”


    When Bernard got wind of Yeager using Garett to stir the pot, he put some pressure on the people


    handling the case. Before you know it, Yeager was thrown in the mmer


    They were not sure if Cedric was involved or not, but either way, thewyer that Yeager’s parents hired


    got schooled by Chase in court.

    Yeager getting life in prison was a done deal, not because he tried to rape someone, but because he


    intentionally hurt a patient.


    Mr. Caporal’s family and students have some clout internationally. They were never going to let Yeager


    off the hook, that’s for sure.


    The reason Bernard didn’t take care of Yeager right away was because it involved a hospital patient.


    He thought it was up to the patient’s family to deal


    with it.


    Liana was well aware of all this, but she was worried that Yeager triggering Garett’s condition could


    affect Mr. Laurence and Eleanor’s rtionship. “Severe depression is a challenging condition to treat.


    I’m not sure what will happen when Eleanor meets Garett,” said Hailey, as she was changing clothes.


    She recalled Garett’s seeminglyposed demeanor, but with a glimmer of despair in his eyes, and


    her expression turned serious.


    “In reality, if Garett can let go of Eleanor, he should be able to recover,” Hailey added optimistically


    However, as a medical professional, Liana didn’t share the same view. “Mr. Falsey’s depression may


    not necessarily be solely because he can’t let go of Eleanor Depression is an illness, not just an


    emotion, she exined.


    Hailey was about to ask what they should do in such a situation when a pleasant female voice came


    from outside the ward. “Mr. Laurence, what are you doing here?”


    Judith had just finished visiting a colleague and saw Cedric with his hands in his pockets, leaning


    against the wall as if waiting for someone. From a distance, the Crystal Area’s president looked quite


    dignified. Judith had a favorable impression of him and walked over to greet him.


    Cedric, on the other hand, didn’t recognize Judith. After pondering for a moment, he finally


    remembered that she was the representative from the H Country and nodded in acknowledgment


    Seeing that Cedric didn’t seem interested in chatting. Judith pouted slightly, her beautiful face radiating


    a mature allure.


    “Mr. Laurence, who are you waiting for?”


    Judith’s gaze shifted towards the interior of the ward, as if she could see through the curtain to the


    person inside. She couldn’t help but take a few more nces.


    “Is it your girlfriend?”


    Judith asked tentatively, which annoyed Cedric. He shot her a cold nce.


    “She’s my future wife.”


    Hearing this from behind the curtain, Hailey lowered her head slowly while Liana gave a small smile.


    Looks like Mr. Laurence is starting to get it, knowing how to fend off his admirers now


    Only Judith caught the hint in his words, “So you’re saying you haven’t won her over yet?”


    Cedric gave a coldugh, “What’s it to you?”


    His indifference piqued Judith’s interest, “Mr. Laurence, I find you quite intriguing. Since the woman


    you’re chasing hasn’t epted you yet, you wouldn’t mind one more admirer in the meantime, would


    you?”


    Cedric thought she was a piece of work, “We’ve only met once, stop talking nonsense and get lost.”


    He had been keeping Haileypany these days and finally felt that Hailey wasn’t as resistant to him


    anymore. He didn’t want her to get the wrong idea because of this woman’s words.


    He tried to get Judith to leave, but she casually handed him a business card, “I heard Mr. Laurence is


    quite a yer, never says no to anyone. So, feel free to look me up when you’re lonely at night.”


    Liana nced at Hailey instinctively, seeing that her expression didn’t change, but her grip on the


    clothes tightened Liana hurried tofort her, “Hailey. don’t listen to that woman’s nonsense, Mr.


    Laurence has been on his best behavior these past years, he hasn’t been messing around with women


    Hailey gave a small smile, Liana, whether Mr. Laurence behaves himself, whether he’s been with other


    women, I couldn’t care less. Whatever we had is in the past, and there won’t be anything between us in


    the future.”


    Cedric, who just walked into the ward having discarded the business card, heard this and his face


    darkened. He couldn’t find the words to exin. He almost forgot, during this time, Hailey was always


    pushing him away. If he hadn’t made up the excuse that Eleanor wanted him to stay and take care of


    Hailey, he would have been kicked out long ago.


    Did Haley even care about him?


    **


    cared for him, Cedric couldn’t feel


    To him, Hailey was like a log, always elusive.
