Chapter 974 âI donât wanna see you again.â
That was the first time Cedric had said something like that.
His face was pale, his eyes red, looking as if heâd been wronged in a big way Hailey wanted to approach to find out what was going on, but Yeager stopped her âMr. Laurence might be too injured, making him emotionally unstable Letâs leave and allow his girlfriend to comfort tum.â
Yeagers reminder made Hailey realize that Cedricâs girlfriend was still present Hailey kept quiet, stole a glance at Cedric, and then looked away as she followed Yeager out Once they were gone, Cedric curled up in pain, and the monitor started blaring Seeing Cedric in such agony Hertha became alarmed and immediately called for the doctor.
Cedric was taken to the ER that day and it was touchâandâgo for a while, but he managed to pull through.
When he finally opened his eyes again, the anger had vanished, replaced by disappointment.
Looking at Cedric lying pale and fragile in the hospital bed. Hertha fell both heartbroken and unsatisfied.
âWhen you were younger, you had a thing for me. How did all these years pass and you ended up falling for that woman?â
Anyone could see that Cedric was head over heels for Hailey, to the point where he passed out from a single sentence she said.
âWhatâs so great about her besides pissing you off?â
Hertha mumbled in dissatisfaction as she poked a straw into a cup.
âYouâre senously injured now, and sheâs here with her fiancé, bullying you. Itâs clear she doesnât give a damn about youâ
âYou broke up with me for her, sent me abroad, and what did you get? Nothingâ
Cedric didnât say anything just stared out of the window Seeing him seemingly lose interest in everything due to heartbreak, Hertha helplessly put down her cup.
âCedric, I was your first love too, I even saved your life. How can you not feel anything?â
The man on the bed remained silent.
Tired of talking, Hertha decided to stay quiet She picked up the cup, pried open Cedricâs mouth, and put the straw in âGet some water in youâ
Cedric refused to drink and spat out the straw.
*Get out!â
Herthaâs face turned blue with anger, but thinking of marrying Cedric, she swallowed it down.
âWhoâs gonna look after you if I go? Youâre expecting that woman to take care of you?â
âShe didnât even want to see you. It was her fiancé who dragged her here.â
Hearing these words, Cedricâs long eyelashes fluttered slightly, then he looked at Hertha with cold eyes.
âDid you not hear me when I told you to get out, or are you deaf?!â
Seeing him lose his temper, Hertha put down her cup, grabbed her cigarettes and lighter, and left the ward Just as she stepped into the safe passage, a figure appeared in front of her âAre you Hertha?â
Hertha looked up at Yeager âIâve had nothing to do with you, what do you want?â
Yeager took the lighter from Herthaâs hand and lit her cigarette for her.
âI need your helpâ
After taking a puff, Henha rased an eyebrow and asked âHelp with what?â
Yeager handed back her lighter âUnless Iâm mistaken, you want to marry Cedric, right?â
âDo you need to confirm that? Isnât it obvious?â
Hertha glanced at him, she had been eager to marry into the Laurence family for many years.
âSo if Hailey asks you why Cedric hit me, do you know what to say?â
Hertha didnât expect Yeager to be so thorough, even considering the unlikely possibility that Hailey might come to her No wonder Cedric couldnât beat Yeager. He was comprehensive, detailâoriented. How could Cedric, with his casual attitude, ever stand a chance?
Ahhough Hertha didnât want to cooperate with Yeager, knowing that Cedric was deeply in love with Hailey made her change her mind.
I Hailey knew that Cedric hit Yeager out of anger, wouldnât that patch up the rift between them?
Andy! the rift between Hailey and Cedric was mended, how could she marry Cedric?
So, for her own future, she had to team up with Yeager âI know what to say, you can go now...â
Only then did Yeager turn around and leave the safe passage.
Back at home, Halley couldnât sleep thinking about how Cedric looked when he was upset.
So, she got up, went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and put it in her mouth.
As she took a drag, she suddenly thought of Cedric. He would always snatch the cigarette from her mouth.
