Chapter 988 Yeager firmly believed he was blameless, ready for a faceâoff with Bernard âI donât have his family background, nor a big bro who can solve all my problems, so itâs only natural i canât outdo himâ
Bernard smiled a gentle, knowing smile âBesides, Cedric doesnât need to play any tricks to win over Ms. Vulpeâ
His gaze landed on Yeagerâs bandaged hand as he said this Yeaper was taken aback that Bernard had seen through his attempt to fake Cedricâs car accident and felt cornered It was like being stripped naked, no cover left, his inner self laid bare with a few simple sentences As he was drowning in embarrassment, Bernardâs cold voice, laced with mockery, echoed in his ears.
âThe biggest difference between Cedric and you is that he wouldnât stoop to your level to compete for Ms Vulpe. If he did, you wouldnât stand a chanceâ The words were patronizing and made Yeager feel like crap It was like a thorn in his heart, exposing his true self.
He knew that even though Cedric was a playboy, he was living an honest, carefree life.
But from another perspective, if he wanted something, he had to play dirty Whatâs wrong with that?
âYouâre not in the wrong but even if you were Cedric, he wouldnât stoop to thatâ
The most significant distinction between them was their character While one could argue that Cedric was at fault for his playboy behavior and persistently pursuing Hailey, compared to Yeagerâs manipulative tactics, Cedric didnât seem as much in the wrong.
Yeagerâs heart pounded, and he couldnât meet Bernardâs gaze, showing his inner fear. He knew there were no secrets when facing Bernard.
However, despite this knowledge, Yeager tenaciously tried to negotiate with Bernard, seemingly believing that mere words could restore his dignity âYouâre siding with Cedric because heâs your cousin, arenât you?â
âAbsolutely.â
Bernard admitted it bluntly, leaving Yeager dumbstruck.
âDr Yeager, you have two options. Either apologize to Cedric personally or leave this hospital.â
Considering Ms. Vulpeâs reputation, this was the outcome. If Ms. Vulpe werenât Eleanorâs good friend, Bernard probably wouldnât even bother talking to Yeager Making Yeager apologize to Cedric was out of the question, leaving the hospital...
Yeager looked atLiana, who was signaling him to choose the former. This made him resist.
*Hailey has already apologized to Cedric on my behalf.â
Heaning this, Bernardâs disdain for Yeager grew âYou let a woman clean up your mess, and you have the guts to say that?â
Bernard must have been really pissed to say that Yeager, having already pissed him off and stepped on toes, was not afraid to go further.
âMr. Laurence, arent you afraid Iâll say something nasty again if I go apologize?
Bernardâs gaze was full of impatience and sharpness.
âDr. Yeager, I wonât let the same person hurt Cedric in the same way again.â
In other words, if Yeager dared to do it again, he would face more than just leaving the hospital.
Yeager was working on an important report with Will Webb and couldnât leave before the results were in Once he got the results, his status would be more than just a regular doctor.
After weighing his options, Yeager chose to apologize without hesitation for his own benefit.
âFine, Iâll go apologize to him laterâ

Whatâs so shameful about saying sorry?
Seeing Yeager, who had been full of righteousness, bow down to his interests, Bernardâs handsome face was full of mockery âDr Yeager, you gure know how to protect your own benefit.â
This was a digat his lack of backbone, which Yeager accepted Who would damage their own interests for a moment of dignity? âWell, Iâll go meet Cedric Yeager thought he could just say a few words and slip away, but Bernard stopped him âDr. Yeager, after all this talk, donât you want to ask me how I ended up with Ms. Shultz?â
When Yeager heard this, he felt his heart race
