Chapter 969 Cedric was quickly rushed to the hospital, where he was promptly taken into the emergency room. Upon receiving news of his car accident, his entire family humedly made their way to the hospital That night, the entrance to the emergency room was filled with an array of luxury cars, a testament to the Laurence familyâs presence. Approximately two hours later, the doors of the ER swung open, and the Laurence family eagerly gathered around to receive an update.
The doctor informed them that Cedric had lost consciousness due to a cut on his forehead from the shattered windshield, resulting in significant blood loss. Fortunately. there were no major issues with his skull or brain However, his spine had sustained an injury, necessitating a month of bed rest.
Hearing this, the Laurences breathed a collective sigh of relief âAs long as heâs not paralyzed, thatâs all that matters A month in bed isnât a big deal.
Itâll teach him a lesson so that he wonât drive his sports car recklessly they remarked scolding Cedric as they annously made their way to his room However as soon as they left, the police arrived to question Bernard regarding Cedricâs drunk driving and involvement in a hit and run accident Meanwhile, Robin was also brought to the hospital He demanded that the Laurences foot the entire bill and send someone to take care of him.
With the police mediating, the Laurences, as the guilty party had no grounds to refuse So, they sent Taylor to look after Robin However, Robin wasnât satisfied Out of desperation, Bernard sent Kendrick Laurence, but Robin still kicked him out Bernard wanted to settle the matter privately, but that depended on Robinâs willingness. So, he and the Laurences went into Robinâs room.
âPick oneâ
Seeing the room full of Laurences, Robin felt elated. Even his injured arm seemed to hurt less.
He smirked at the Laurences, his eyes finally landing on Bernard âYouâll do The Laurences thought Robin was nuts, daring to ask Bernard to take care of him?
Even Robinâs bodyguard thought he was overstepping With his hands in his pockets, Bernardâs eyes flashed with a cold light.
âYou better pick someone elseâ
He warned Robin, if he was the one to take care of him, heâd show Robin the dark side of society.
âPick someone else? Alright, if you say so. Iâll pick someone else.â
It seemed Robin was just using Bernard as a stepping stone. He agreed and his game suddenly shifted to Eleanor....
âShe seems nice enough, let her take care of meâ
Everyone knew that messing with Bernardâs wife was crossing his line Robin sure had some guts.
But Robin didnât care, he continued to gesture at Eleanor.
âYou come here Eleanor never expected to be the one picked by Robin. She felt like she was really down on her luck âIâm not part of the Laurence family, I have no obligation to take care of youâ
Robin raised an eyebrow looking determined âAs Bernardâs wife, youâre a Laurence How can you say you have no obligation?â
Spoiled people always make spoiled demands.
Eleanor clenched Bernardâs arm, shooting Robin a disapproving look âWhy donât you let my husband take care of you?â
It was incredibly embarrassing for Eleanor, a married woman, to find herself in a position where she had to take care of an unmarried man, especially in front of the Laurence family. She couldnât help but feel the weight of the shame and wondered how she would face everyone after this incident However, Eleanor was determined not to fall into Robinâs trap âI wonât do it. I only want you to take care of me, she firmly stated, refusing to give in to Robinâs stubborn demands Bernardâs handsome face darkened, resembling a stormy sky. He warned Robin, âDonât push it!â

With a slight titt of his head. Robin smirked, testing the limits âif youâre willing to let Cedric go to jail, then I wonât push itâ
The Laurence family was accustomed to handling situations where the other party wasnât severely injured. However, this time Cedric had struck Robin, their known enemy. They couldnât simply let it slide The Laurence family members realized the implications of this altercation and their eyes instinctively scanned Eleanors face, expecting her to agree with their course of action But just as Eleanor was about to step forward and comply Bernard pulled her back, preventing her from making a decision.
âAidyn, go get a lawyerâ
He was done dealing with it. They could do whatever they wanted, even if it meant sending Cedric to jail. But he would never let his wife deal with it Robin, who had the upper hand, was furious that Bernard was no longer playing his game âBernard youâll regret this!
As they left the room, Eleanor looked worried, âDrunk driving and hitâandârun is a big deal, you.â
Bernard cut her off emotionlessly. âHe wasnât seriously injured.â
âBut still Bernard pulled her into his arms, âYouâre my wife. I wonât let you take care of another manâ
That would never happen. Not unless he was dead!
âLet the police and the lawyer handle it.â
Eleanor knew about his strong possessiveness and didnât argue, âAlright, Iâll listen to youâ
