A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1202

Unaware of the presence outside, Hailey, bending over the man in the hospital bed, asked, "Garett, what do you want to eat? I can make something at home."

Garett, who had just undergone major surgery, was pale and skinny, barely had the strength to talk. But when faced with Hailey, he murmured:

"Let Colter get it. You don't have to run back."

Hailey had been rushing between the hospital and home for some time and was already worn out.

As she swiftly wrung out a towel, she said, "You don't like the food here, I'll cook at home."

Garett tried to persuade her again but was cut off by Hailey's gentle words, "I'm just cooking a meal, it's not tiring. You can only have some light food now, it's a piece of cake to prepare."

Is cooking really not tiring?

Latonia watched Hailey. Was it because she had been cooking since she was a child that she didn't find it tiring?

Thinking of this, Latonia's face sank again. Why was she always putting herself in Hailey's shoes? This habit wasn't good, she needed to change!

Cedric saw Hailey was busy and didn't disturb her. He approached her after she had finished pouring water and came out.

"Hailey."

Seeing Cedric here, Hailey was taken aback. She stood there stunned for a while, then quickly lowered her head and walked away.

Seeing her ignoring him, Cedric hurried after her and stopped her.

"Hailey, I know about my mom contacting you behind the scenes."

Hailey had mentioned this to Eleanor, so it wasn't surprising that Cedric knew. But...

Hailey glanced at Latonia in the distance. Why was his mother here too?

As she was puzzled, Cedric turned around and pointed at Latonia.

"I brought my mom here today to apologize to you."

"Apologize?"

Would a high-class woman like Latonia apologize to her?

Hailey didn't believe it at all, but Cedric said, "My mom badmouthed you first, so she naturally owes you an apology."

After saying that, he turned his head and gestured to Latonia.

Latonia then reluctantly walked up to Hailey, "I was too harsh before, Ms. Vulpe, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Although she lowered her head, her tone and demeanor were still condescending. But Hailey didn't care, "It's okay."

After giving a casual reply, Hailey wanted to go back and cook.

Seeing the card, Cedric finally knew that Latonia had once insulted Hailey with money. His anger, which had just subsided, flared up all at once.

"According to the previous rules, if I accept the card, it means I give up on Cedric. If I don't accept it, I will return the card to you. Now, I'm giving the card back to you."

Hearing this, Latonia raised an eyebrow, quickly understanding that Hailey was playing mind games.

See, as soon as she lowered her status to apologize, Hailey immediately chose not to give up. Didn't this prove her clever tactics?

Otherwise, if she genuinely didn't want to give up, why would she pretend to reject Cedric? Was she trying to get Cedric into trouble?

Latonia, who had been persuaded by Bernard, cast all her previous doubts out of her mind after seeing Hailey's true intentions.

"Are you planning to give up your nightclub by returning the bank card to me?"

Hearing Latonia threatening Hailey in front of him, Cedric was about to lose his temper. But Hailey spoke first.

"I returned the card to you because I don't want your money, and I also don't want Cedric."

Cedric got nervous. Hailey didn't want him?

"Hailey, what are you talking about?"

Hailey didn't even glance at him, she just looked at Latonia, and calmly said, "Mrs. Laurence, rest assured, I will never marry Cedric in my lifetime."
