Chapter 981 While waiting for the traffic light, Hailey spotted a candy store by the street and remembered how Cedric once told her he loved orange flavored gummy candies Back then, she was nestled in his arms and asked him why he liked a candy usually favored by little girls.
He told her that on the night she accidentally hurt him, he relied on these qummies to ease the pain, and every time he had one, it reminded him of her Hailey stared at the candy store, hesitated for a few seconds, then parked her car and went in. It took her a while to find the orange flavored gummies She bought a heap of them and headed to the hospital, walking directly to Cedricâs hospital room.
The room was packed with people, mostly Cedricâs friends, all trying to cheer him up.
However, Cedric didnât show much reaction, his expression changed only slightly when he spotted her through the crowd Seeing her arrival, Chase quickly found an excuse to leave with the others.
Once they were gone, only Hailey and Cedric were left in the room Cedric didnât seem interested in talking He just closed his eyes.
Hailey glanced at him, walked over, and sat where Chase had been sitting âMr. Laurence, I know you donât want to see me again, but rest assured, after this, I wonât bother you anymore.â
Cedricâs hand clenched slightly, then relaxed âWhat do you want?â he asked, finally breaking his silence.
Seeing him speak, Harleyâs eyes showed a hint of apology âIâve found out about the false charges Yeager put on you. Iâm sorry for all the trouble youâve been throughâ
Her apology stung him a little.
Although he tried to hide his hurt, it was still a tough pill to swallow.
But Haileyâs âsorry for the troubleâ eased his pain a bit.
âDo you finally see Yeager for who he is?â
He glared at Hailey, hurt evident in his eyes.
Hailey nodded, didnât say anything else, just handed the gummies to Cedric.
âYour spineâs injured, I assume it hurts more than when you broke a bone. I bought a bunch of orangeâflavored gummies for you. Have one when it hurts.â
Cedric looked at the several bags of gummies, his nose stinging even more.
Nearly two years had passed since they broke up. Hailey hadnât shown any concern or comfort for him...
He thought she had forgotten his love for this particular candy but she remembered.
Cedric felt a little better, even though his heart was still aching âDonât think Iâll let it slide just because you bought me some candyâ
Seeing Cedric acting like a child, Hailey smiled a little, took another candy from the bag, unwrapped it, and held it to his lips.
âIâm not a kid. I donât want it Cedric kept his lips tightly closed, refusing her.
But when Hailey kept trying to pop the candy into his mouth, he finally gave in and ate it.
In reality, he was just like a child, easily appeased by a piece of candy.
Although Hailey knew this, she had never acted on it, which hurt him.
Seeing Cedric savoring the candy, Harley couldnât help but tear up.
âCedric, I bought you a lot of candies. If you get hurt in the future, have one, but...â
She paused, taking a deep breath,âI hope you wonât remember me anymore.â
No sooner had Cedric tasted the sweetness of the candy than it turned bitter because of her words.
He stopped chewing, lifted his eyes, and looked at the woman sitting in front of him.

Just one look was enough to tell him why she was here.
âSo even knowing Yepger treated me unfairly, you still have no intention of leaving him, huh?!â
He had thought that her knowing the truth and buying him candies to comfort him meant she wanted to make up. He didnât expect her to have no plans of breaking up with Yeager
