Chapter 1071 âIâm not saying I donât trust you, itâs just that Iâm a bit scared. If you can promise me that you wonât cheat after marriage, then give it some time before you pursue Hailey. Donât push her too hard right nowâ
Upon hearing this, Cedric looked surprised and lifted his head.
âEleanor, you called me here, isnât it to keep me away from Hailey?â
Eleanor responded with a warm smile.
âMy point still stands, itâs all up to you. If your feelings for Hailey are genuine and sheâs willing to accept you, I wonât stand in your way.â
Cedric didnât expect Eleanor to be so understanding. A small smile crept up on his face.
âThank you, Eleanor.â
Eleanor shook her head with a smile âGo keep her company, I need to find Bernard, no idea where heâs off toâ
As she was about to leave, Cedric stopped her.
âEleanor, when you said that Hailey has feelings for me, was that for real?â
Eleanor turned to look at him, a puzzled expression on her face âCanât you tell for yourself?â
Cedric reflected on when he brought Hailey to the hospital. Was it because she had feelings for him that she explained her situation, afraid that he might think she was tainted? Thinking that Hailey might also like him, Cedric felt a sense of relief.
âEleanor, you should head backâ
Watching Cedric wave goodbye, Eleanor chuckled in resignation.
Cedric hurried into the ward and saw Hailey applying medicine on her own. He took over.
âLie down and donât move, let me do it.â
Hailey glanced at him, noticing his cheery expression, she furrowed her brows.
âWhat did Eleanor say to you?â
Cedric, focused on applying the medicine, slowed his movements âYouâre worried she said something to me?â
Cedricâs eyes were beautiful. Every time he looked at her seriously, she was attracted.
âNo...â
She pretended to shrug it off and averted her gaze. But Cedric suddenly reached out and touched her cheek. His fingers were warm and when they touched her cheek, Hailey shrank back.
âWhat are you doing?â
âDoes it hurt?â
His tone was full of sympathy and his movements gentle, which caught Hailey off guard.
âIt doesnât hurt anymoreâ
She turned her head, avoiding his touch. She was still uneasy and just wanted to clean up once her wounds healed.
Thinking of this, she turned back to Cedric who was still in midâair âMr. Laurence, there are doctors here, you can go back now.â
Upon hearing this, Cedric slowly retracted his hand.
Iâll stay at the hospital and take care of you for a while.â
âYou...â
âI know you donât want to be around any men right now, but trust me, I wonât do anythingâ

He knew she needed time to recover from this trauma, and he would be by her side, supporting her through this nightmare. The determination in his eyes left Hailey speechless.

There was no longer any connection between them, and they had even had quite a few conflicts, which made the situation awkward Cedric didnât respond to Haileyâs words, he just held her hand and continued to apply her medicine.
After he finished, he put down the cotton swab and left. When he didnât come back for a long time, Hailey thought he had left and breathed a sigh of relief.
