A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 800

Thinking of this, Chase took another look at his watch, "You better get going now, or you might be too late..."

Cedric shot him a glance, "Just spit it out if you have something to say..."

Chase decided to spill the beans, "She's on the 8th floor, with another man."

Cedric froze, looking at Chase with disbelief, "Hailey?"

Chase blinked, "Yeah, I saw her going up to the 8th floor with a guy."

Glancing at his watch once more, Chase wondered about their activities during the past half-hour. Without delay, the man beside him swiftly dashed out of the room, disappearing in a flash before Chase could fully process what had happened.

Amused by the sudden departure, Chase chuckled, recognizing that despite Cedric's claims of not caring, he had sprinted faster than anyone the moment he heard she was with someone else.

Cedric had undeniably been defeated by a woman this time.

However, Chase's amusement quickly faded, replaced by a gloomy expression. He lifted the glass of wine and took a few sips with his fair hand. Once believing alcohol could alleviate all worries, he now found it bitter. The more he drank, the more bitterness enveloped his senses, perhaps indicative of the heartache he carried within.

Chase thought to himself:“Cedric is a cautionary tale now. I hope you won't repeat his mistake. Figure out your feelings and treat others right.”

Just after Hailey finished her shower, she received a call from Liana.

"Liana, why are you calling so late? Is it Nina causing trouble?"

Hailey was off to B City for the weekend and had asked Liana to look after Nina for safety reasons.

Usually, it was Hailey who took care of Nina. She knew that Nina was quite a handful before bed.

If you didn't play with her for half an hour, she would refuse to go to bed and that could be really infuriating.

"It's not Nina, she's a good girl..."

Really?

The Nina, pretending to be asleep in Liana's arms, seemed so well-behaved, if not for her perky ears that gave her away.

Hailey ran to Liana again to complain. When Hailey gets back, she'll make sure to extend her mischief time to an hour.

"You better take the call."

Hailey handed him her phone, and Yeager took it, looking at Hailey awkwardly.

Cedric urgently requested Hailey's help in drying his phone, which contained vital patient records. As the attending doctor, he felt responsible for assisting the patient even while away.

Without hesitation, Hailey entered the room, grabbed a hairdryer, and began drying his phone. Meanwhile, Yeager excused himself to the bathroom to take a call.

Having descended from the rooftop, Cedric realized he couldn't access the 8th floor without a room card. He hurried to the front desk, obtained a room card, and swiftly pressed the elevator button.

With an icy-cold expression, clenched teeth, and intense focus on the elevator's floor indicator, Cedric seemed ready to unleash his anger.

"Hailey, Hailey, Hailey," his thoughts echoed, contemplating the consequences of any potential betrayal. The mere thought fueled a vengeful urge that threatened harm to both Hailey and Yeager Alis.

As the elevator reached the 8th floor, Cedric's shoes made heavy thuds on the carpet as he forcefully kicked each closed door.

"Hailey, come out now!"
