Chapter 1079
Hailey’s injuries were mostly physical, she didn’t stay in the hospital long and was discharged pretty quickly
Liana came to the hospital on the day Hailey was discharged, helping her pack up her stuff. Every time Liana saw Hailey, she
felt’a pang of guilt because of the whole Yeager thing
Liana was the one who introduced Yeager and Hailey, even vouched for the guy So, when everything went south and Hailey got
hurt, Liana felt like she had messed up big time
However, Hailey didn’t seem to care too much. She even comforted Liana, telling her not to beat herself up. Hailey said that this
incident was nothing compared to all the crap she’s been through since she was a kid.
“Besides, Yeager got what was coming to him, right?”
When Bernard got wind of Yeager using Garett to stir the pot, he put some pressure on the people handling the case. Before you
know it, Yeager was thrown in the slammer
They were not sure if Cedric was involved or not, but either way, the lawyer that Yeager’s parents hired got schooled by Chase in
court.
Yeager getting life in prison was a done deal, not because he tried to rape someone, but because he intentionally hurt a patient.
Mr. Caporal’s family and students have some clout internationally. They were never going to let Yeager off the hook, that’s for
sure.
The reason Bernard didn’t take care of Yeager right away was because it involved a hospital patient. He thought it was up to the
patient’s family to deal
with it.
Liana was well aware of all this, but she was worried that Yeager triggering Garett’s condition could affect Mr. Laurence and
Eleanor’s relationship. “Severe depression is a challenging condition to treat. I’m not sure what will happen when Eleanor meets
Garett,” said Hailey, as she was changing clothes. She recalled Garett’s seemingly composed demeanor, but with a glimmer of
despair in his eyes, and her expression turned serious.
“In reality, if Garett can let go of Eleanor, he should be able to recover,” Hailey added optimistically
However, as a medical professional, Liana didn’t share the same view. “Mr. Falsey’s depression may not necessarily be solely
because he can’t let go of Eleanor Depression is an illness, not just an emotion, she explained.
Hailey was about to ask what they should do in such a situation when a pleasant female voice came from outside the ward. “Mr.
Laurence, what are you doing here?”
Judith had just finished visiting a colleague and saw Cedric with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall as if waiting for
someone. From a distance, the Crystal Area’s president looked quite dignified. Judith had a favorable impression of him and
walked over to greet him.
Cedric, on the other hand, didn’t recognize Judith. After pondering for a moment, he finally remembered that she was the
representative from the H Country and nodded in acknowledgment
Seeing that Cedric didn’t seem interested in chatting. Judith pouted slightly, her beautiful face radiating a mature allure.
“Mr. Laurence, who are you waiting for?”
Judith’s gaze shifted towards the interior of the ward, as if she could see through the curtain to the person inside. She couldn’t
help but take a few more glances.
“Is it your girlfriend?”
Judith asked tentatively, which annoyed Cedric. He shot her a cold glance.
“She’s my future wife.”
Hearing this from behind the curtain, Hailey lowered her head slowly while Liana gave a small smile.
Looks like Mr. Laurence is starting to get it, knowing how to fend off his admirers now
Only Judith caught the hint in his words, “So you’re saying you haven’t won her over yet?”
Cedric gave a cold laugh, “What’s it to you?”
His indifference piqued Judith’s interest, “Mr. Laurence, I find you quite intriguing. Since the woman you’re chasing hasn’t
accepted you yet, you wouldn’t mind one more admirer in the meantime, would you?”
Cedric thought she was a piece of work, “We’ve only met once, stop talking nonsense and get lost.”
He had been keeping Hailey company these days and finally felt that Hailey wasn’t as resistant to him anymore. He didn’t want
her to get the wrong idea because of this woman’s words.
He tried to get Judith to leave, but she casually handed him a business card, “I heard Mr. Laurence is quite a player, never says
no to anyone. So, feel free to look me up when you’re lonely at night.”
Liana glanced at Hailey instinctively, seeing that her expression didn’t change, but her grip on the clothes tightened Liana hurried
to comfort her, “Hailey. don’t listen to that woman’s nonsense, Mr. Laurence has been on his best behavior these past years, he
hasn’t been messing around with women Hailey gave a small smile, Liana, whether Mr. Laurence behaves himself, whether he’s
been with other women, I couldn’t care less. Whatever we had is in the past, and there won’t be anything between us in the
future.”
Cedric, who just walked into the ward having discarded the business card, heard this and his face darkened. He couldn’t find the
words to explain. He almost forgot, during this time, Hailey was always pushing him away. If he hadn’t made up the excuse that
Eleanor wanted him to stay and take care of Hailey, he would have been kicked out long ago.
Did Haley even care about him?
**
cared for him, Cedric couldn’t feel
To him, Hailey was like a log, always elusive.
