A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 976

The next day, Eleanor woke up, saw Nina off, and immediately dialed Hailey.

"Hailey, have you visited Mr. Laurence yet?"

"I've been…"

Hailey, who was having her breakfast, replied absent-mindedly.

Hearing Hailey's indifferent reply, Eleanor could tell that she didn't seem to care much about Cedric, which baffled her.

"Have you sorted out your issues with him?"

Sigrid had already filled Bernard in on Mr. Laurence's car accident.

Therefore, Eleanor was aware that Cedric had the accident because he was upset after witnessing Hailey kissing Yeager.

She thought that if there was a conflict between the two, and the man got hurt, a visit from the woman should help ease the tension.

"His girlfriend was there, so there's nothing for me to sort out."

Eleanor was taken aback when she heard that his girlfriend was present.

"His girlfriend is…?"

If Cedric had a girlfriend, he would usually show her off, but she hadn't seen any woman around him recently.

"It's the same one as before, Hertha."

Upon hearing Hertha's name, Eleanor finally understood.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have called you…"

Seeing Cedric's ex-girlfriend in such a situation must have been uncomfortable for Hailey.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault."

Eleanor didn't know that Cedric's girlfriend was there, which had nothing to do with her.

"So, did your conflict with him get worse because of Hertha?"

"It's not just about Hertha…"

"Huh?"

She thought carefully and realized the truth in Eleanor's words.

Cedric was a man of few words and didn't like to play the victim, so he wouldn't say much when she asked him.

And knowing that Hertha wanted to marry Cedric, she still went to Hertha for answers. How could she expect the truth?

She had acted impulsively without thinking, but…

"Yeager doesn't seem like the type to lie. Plus, he was the one who asked me to visit Cedric."

It seems like it's often easier for outsiders to see the truth. Just like when Eleanor was in trouble, Hailey was there to remind her. Now it's Eleanor's turn to help analyze the situation for Hailey…

"When he asked you to visit Cedric, he was indeed open-minded. But why did he wait until after you left to bring flowers and fruit to the hospital?"

A truly open-minded person wouldn't have gone after you, or would have suggested going together when you planned to visit, or simply wouldn't have gone. These are all things a boyfriend could do. But to let you go first, then follow alone, then avoid you to go back to Cedric, was that really okay?

"So you're saying Yeager did it on purpose?"

Eleanor found it hard to respond to this. She wasn't sure if Yeager did it on purpose or simply to protect his girlfriend. Either way, Eleanor felt it wasn't right for him to go to Cedric when he was injured. Any other time would have been fine.

Seeing that Eleanor wasn't sure how to respond, Hailey didn't press further. She decided to ask Yeager herself what he had said to Cedric.
