Chapter 796 Back then, Hailey sat on the sideline, resting her head on her hand, watching the two of them talking One person was itching to lie the knot and build a family while the other always found ways to dodge the bullet.
Back then, sheâd figured Garett would kick himself one day, and it turned out she was right Looking back, it was Garett who had gradually pushed Eleanor away during their time together Garett was probably drowning in regret, unable to forgive himself Thinking about this, Hailey snapped out of her trip down memory lane, walked over, and gently rested her hand on Garettâs shoulder, bending down to look him in the aya âGarell, whatâs that saying, right? No use crying over spilled milk and donât sweat the small stuff. Donât tie yourself down with all this.â
âYour life is barely half over Thereâs still a ton of years ahead. Donât keep yourself locked up in the past.â
Hailey wasnât good with deep, meaningful words. All she could do was offer these comforting words, hoping Garett would snap out of it.
Garett might not take her comfort, but Hailey couldnât tell if he had really heard her. All she saw was him nodding with a small smile.
Yeager Alis, standing nearby, didnât know what they were talking about but he guessed from the bits and pieces that Mr. Clowers might have had his heart broken.
The situation seemed to involve the influential figure at the hospital. Yeager couldnât help but wonder if the hospital executiveâs new spouse was Garettâs former love interest As Yeager Alis contemplated their connection, Haileyâs phone began to ring. Since she was occupied pushing Garettâs wheelchair, she asked him to grab the phone for her. Glancing at the screen, Yeager saw the callerâs name but decided not to vocalize it. Instead, he simply informed Hailey, âItâs for youâ
Unaware of the callerâs identity, Hailey turned to Yeager and inquired, âWho is it?â
Yeager remained silent, but Garett, instinctively recognizing the name on the screen, stole a glance at the phone. The mention of Eleanorâs name caused his heart to sink,â and it took him a moment to regain his composure.
Hailey, oblivious to Garettâs reaction, took the phone from Yeager and saw that it was Eleanor calling. She then glanced back at Garett, sensing that something was amiss.
âGarett i need to take this call. You guys go ahead.
Garett wanted to say âlet me hear her voiceâ, but felt it wasnât right, so he pushed his wheelchair a little further away.
Watching his lonely figure, Hailey answered the call, âEleanor, why are you calling so late? Whatâs up?â
On the other end of the phone, Eleanor had seen Willâs post on social media. She then called Hailey, âHailey, I saw Willâs post. Heâs getting married to Liana tomorrow. I just arrived in Germany and canât make it back. Could you buy a gift for me and give it to them?â
Hailey was surprised, âThey are getting married tomorrow? I thought they were waiting for you guys to come back.â
Eleanor wasnât sure, âMaybe they changed the date.â
Hailey nodded, âOkay, Iâm in B City right now. III rush back tomorrow and buy two gifts to congratulate them.â
Eleanor, leaning against the villaâs railing, heard that Hailey was in Beijing, she straightened up a bit, âWhat are you doing there?â
Hailey was taken aback, realizing she had inadvertently spilled the beans, â1â
Hailey wasnât good at lying, so she told the truth, âI came to see Garettâ
Eleanorâs phone was on speaker Bernard was sitting on the patio sofa, looking at the phone Hearing Garettâs name, his slender fingers scrolling on the screen paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal, continuing to scroll up Eleanor glanced at Bernard subconsciously, seeing no reaction on his face, she calmly replied, âOkayâ
Any other words, like how is he doing, or say hi for me, would seem too contrived.
Only âokayâ could end the topic and sound normal....
After hanging up the call, Eleanor put down her phone and walked over to Bernard.
Under the right sky, the manâs profile looked as if it was sculpted by God himself, with clear lines.
His eyelashes were long and thick, casting a shadow over his eyes when he looked down.

He was checking the financial data of the Lawrence Group, his fingers constantly sliding on the screen. But his speed was so fast that it gave away his mood to Eleanor.
She didnât say anything just sat next to him. After a few seconds of silence, seeing that he didnât pay her any attention, she reached out and held his phone screen.
âBernard, do you know any doctors who can treat leg diseases?â
She still hoped that Garett could stand up. Only then would she feel less guilty
