Chapter 1079 Haileyâs injuries were mostly physical, she didnât 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 feltâa 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 didnât seem to care too much. She even comforted Liana, telling her not to beat herself up. Hailey said that this incident was nothing compared to all the crap sheâs been through since she was a kid.
âBesides, Yeager got what was coming to him, right?â
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 slammer They were not sure if Cedric was involved or not, but either way, the lawyer that Yeagerâs 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. Caporalâs family and students have some clout internationally. They were never going to let Yeager off the hook, thatâs for sure.
The reason Bernard didnât take care of Yeager right away was because it involved a hospital patient. He thought it was up to the patientâs family to deal with it.
Liana was well aware of all this, but she was worried that Yeager triggering Garettâs condition could affect Mr. Laurence and Eleanorâs relationship.
âSevere depression is a challenging condition to treat. Iâm not sure what will happen when Eleanor meets Garett,â said Hailey, as she was changing clothes. She recalled Garettâs seemingly composed demeanor, but with a glimmer of despair in his eyes, and her expression turned serious.
âIn reality, if Garett can let go of Eleanor, he should be able to recover,â Hailey added optimistically However, as a medical professional, Liana didnât share the same view. âMr. Falseyâs depression may not necessarily be solely because he canât let go of Eleanor Depression is an illness, not just an emotion, she explained.
Hailey was about to ask what they should do in such a situation when a pleasant female voice came from outside the ward. âMr. Laurence, what are you doing here?â
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 Areaâs president looked quite dignified. Judith had a favorable impression of him and walked over to greet him.
Cedric, on the other hand, didnât 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 didnât seem interested in chatting. Judith pouted slightly, her beautiful face radiating a mature allure.
âMr. Laurence, who are you waiting for?â
Judithâs gaze shifted towards the interior of the ward, as if she could see through the curtain to the person inside. She couldnât help but take a few more glances.
âIs it your girlfriend?â
Judith asked tentatively, which annoyed Cedric. He shot her a cold glance.
âSheâs my future wife.â
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, âSo youâre saying you havenât won her over yet?â
Cedric gave a cold laugh, âWhatâs it to you?â
His indifference piqued Judithâs interest, âMr. Laurence, I find you quite intriguing. Since the woman youâre chasing hasnât accepted you yet, you wouldnât mind one more admirer in the meantime, would you?â
Cedric thought she was a piece of work, âWeâve only met once, stop talking nonsense and get lost.â
He had been keeping Hailey company these days and finally felt that Hailey wasnât as resistant to him anymore. He didnât want her to get the wrong idea because of this womanâs words.

He tried to get Judith to leave, but she casually handed him a business card, âI heard Mr. Laurence is quite a player, never says no to anyone. So, feel free to look me up when youâre lonely at night.â
Liana glanced at Hailey instinctively, seeing that her expression didnât change, but her grip on the clothes tightened Liana hurried to comfort her, âHailey. donât listen to that womanâs nonsense, Mr. Laurence has been on his best behavior these past years, he hasnât been messing around with women Hailey gave a small smile, Liana, whether Mr. Laurence behaves himself, whether heâs been with other women, I couldnât care less. Whatever we had is in the past, and there wonât be anything between us in the future.â
Cedric, who just walked into the ward having discarded the business card, heard this and his face darkened. He couldnât find the words to explain. He almost forgot, during this time, Hailey was always pushing him away. If he hadnât 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 couldnât feel To him, Hailey was like a log, always elusive.
