A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1216

Looking at Hertha, Hailey was lost for words.

She dropped her gaze, staring at the voice recorder in her hands, in a daze.

Everyone said that Cedric loved her. Hertha said the same, so it must be true, right?

She also believed that Cedric loved her, but...

"What happened between you and Cedric that night?"

For Hailey, it didn't matter how Latonia tried to help her son, all she cared about was Cedric.

At this question, Hertha couldn't help but laugh.

"Ms. Vulpe, are you still holding out hope for Cedric?"

"Yes."

Hailey laughed too, the sunlight hitting her face, making her seem incredibly radiant.

"I hope all this is a lie, so..."

Hailey paused, taking a deep breath.

"Could you give me a plausible explanation, like before?"

Hertha looked at her, seeing the redness in Hailey's eyes when she said this, she could imagine how hard this must be for her.

If Hertha were a kind person, she would feel sorry for Hailey, but sadly, she wasn't. She was just a woman spoiled by her parents from a young age. She had no empathy, only the urge to destroy what she couldn't have, no matter the cost.

"Ms. Vulpe, think about it. A drunk man and a woman who deeply loves him, spending so much time alone in a room together, what do you think they'd do?"

Hailey's face gradually turned pale, gripping the voice recorder tightly in her hands.

"Cedric...he's never been the faithful type, he..."

"He said he'd be faithful to me." Hailey cut Hertha off, firmly.

Hertha smirked, "Is that so?"

She looked as if she'd heard a hilarious joke, her face full of mockery.

"If he were truly faithful, he wouldn't have slept with me, nor would have let his mother deal with me..."

After saying this, Hertha looked at Hailey, her hand clenched tightly around the voice recorder.

"If you can forgive the betraying Cedric, then go ahead believe that he will be faithful to you."

With that, Hertha put on her sunglasses, stood up, and left.

Despite feeling exhausted, she washed up, made breakfast like usual, then went to the hospital.

Garett was eating breakfast, Colter was handling the discharge procedures, and Hailey was busy tidying up the room.

She took out clothes from the cabinet, squatted down to put them in the suitcase, then quickly stood up to grab the next item.

However, the moment she reached out, she suddenly felt dizzy. Everything went black and she collapsed to the floor.

Garett, who had just finished his breakfast, heard a thud. He turned around and saw Hailey passed out on the floor.

His face turned pale with shock, he quickly hit the emergency call button, and doctors and nurses rushed in—

When Hailey opened her eyes, she saw Garett sitting in front of the bed, his gaze complicated as he watched her.

"Garett, what happened?"

She remembered that she might have fainted due to overworking and staying up all night, making her feel exhausted.

But it was just a fainting spell, there was no need for Garett to look at her like that, right?

Garett looked at Hailey, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Hailey, you...you're pregnant."

"What?" Shocked by the news, Hailey sat up abruptly, "I'm pregnant?!"
