Eleanor felt a knot in her stomach, just as she was about to say something, a dark figure suddenly rushed past and slammed Yeager to the ground.
Next thing, the figure was on top of Yeager, fist raised, punching Yeager in the face with all his might.
"You bullied Hailey and bad-mouthed Eleanor right in front of me. You're just asking for it!"
Cedric had never despised someone so much, to the point where he wished they'd just disappear.
Without holding back, he poured all his strength into his fist, landing blow after blow on Yeager.
Already wounded from a stab, Yeager was no match for Cedric's attack, especially after getting a beating from his family.
Before long, Yeager's face was covered in bruises, his mouth split open, spitting out blood after just a few hits.
Afraid that Cedric might kill him, Hailey and Eleanor quickly intervened, pulling furious Cedric away.
Just then, Liana arrived with security. They stepped forward, handcuffed Yeager.
Seeing Yeager subdued, Liana turned to check on Hailey and Eleanor.
"Are you two okay?"
Eleanor shook her head, asking Liana what happened. Weren't the police involved? How did Yeager end up in the ward?
Liana explained that after handing Yeager over to the police, he told them he hid some evidence against Mr. Caporal in his office.
The security followed him to retrieve it, only for Yeager to shake them off using his knowledge of the hospital layout.
Upon hearing this, Liana guessed Yeager must've headed for Hailey's ward and rushed over with security.
That's why Bernard suddenly asked Eleanor what she would do if something happened to Garett.
Eleanor's words cut Hailey off. She stood there stunned, frowning, looking at the bitter smile on Eleanor's face.
"How could..."
Eleanor gave a wry smile, turned her gaze to Cedric, "Cedric, take care of Hailey for me. I need to go home."
Cedric glanced at Hailey instinctively. Seeing that she didn't object, he nodded, "I'll take good care of her. But, Eleanor, Bernard..."
Eleanor interrupted him, "I'll ask him. Don't worry."
With that, Eleanor turned around, nodded to Liana, then, clutching her phone, she quickly walked out of the hospital.
