A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1070
In the seventh–floor ward of the hospital, Eleanor was dabbing ointment on Hailey’s arm with a cotton swab. Maybe she pressed
a bit too hard, causing Hailey to yelp in pain. Eleanor immediately stopped and apologized. Hailey wanted to reassure her it was
okay, but Cedric had already taken the swab from Eleanor’s hand, saying, 1 got this.”
Both Eleanor and Hailey were taken aback, but Cedric didn’t mind. He picked up the swab and carefully applied ointment on
Hailey’s arm, being extra gentle not to hurt her. Seeing Cedric like this, Hailey hesitated for a few seconds before saying,
“Cedric, Eleanor is here with me. You can go ahead.”
This was something Hailey had said several times, but Cedric just wouldn’t leave. He didn’t say much, just sat there keeping her
company. He said, “Eleanor is not feeling well, let her rest. After saying this, he looked up at Eleanor, “Eleanor, I’m here, you can
relax.”
Eleanor got the hint. If she didn’t, she would have been a bit dense. She said, “Hailey, Nina is home alone, I’m a bit worried. I’ll
come see you tomorrow.” With that, Eleanor picked up her phone from the table and turned to leave.
But when she got to the door, she stopped, turned back to face Cedric, “Cedric, can you step out for a second? I need to talk to
you” Cedric put down the swab and stepped out of the room.
Hailey had no idea what they were going to talk about and could only watch them through the thick glass. Eleanor looked up at
Cedric, who was much taller than her, and asked, “Cedric, what are your feelings for Hailey right now?”
Is it like? Love? Or still playing games?
Cedric revealed slightly tired eyes, “I love her.”
This was the first time he openly admitted his love for Hailey in front of Eleanor, without any cover. Seeing the sincere and
serious Cedric in front of her, Eleanor sighed lightly.
I’ve told you before, Hailey wants a home. Can you give her that?” asked Eleanor. “Can you guarantee that this home will always
be stable to let her live in peace?”
Tve told her, I’ll marry her, give her a home, but she didn’t agree Cedric turned his head, looking through the glass at Hailey lying
on the hospital bed. feeling a bit wronged. “I don’t know why, but she just doesn’t trust me.”

Eleanor also looked at Hailey. “It’s not that she doesn’t trust you, but that she dares not.”
Cedric didn’t understand, “Why wouldn’t she dare?”
Eleanor was silent for a while, then said, “Cedric, I can see that Hailey does have feelings for you. Because of this, she is even
more afraid to pin her future
on you
Hearing that Hailey had feelings for him, Cedric wanted to argue with Eleanor, but Eleanor gently interrupted him.
“If I were Hailey, I wouldn’t dare to agree to marry you either. Do you know why?”
Cedric shook his head. He honestly didn’t understand women’s thoughts. They were just too complex.
Looking at Cedric, confused and unsure how to solve his confusion, Eleanor sighed again.
*Because she can’t accept that the person she loves would betray her one day”
Hearing this, Cedric was full of confusion, while Eleanor just looked at him and smiled gently.
“If Hailey fully agrees to marry you, I believe, based on your current feelings for her, you two will be very happy after marriage.
But what if, one day in the future, you meet someone else you love more? What is she to do then?”
“I won’t...”
‘Don’t rush to speak. You didn’t think about leaving Norene when you met Hailey, did you?”
