Chapter 1062
Hailey, in her thirties, had experienced numerous trials and tribulations. Eleanor, too, had endured hardships, yet she was luckier than Hailey, for she had at least found her own sister, seen their mother’s video recording, and knew what they look like. However, Hailey remained unaware of her own parents‘ Identity.
Reflecting on Hailey’s years of suffering, Eleanor felt deep compassion and embraced her tenderly. “Hailey, it’s my failure for not protecting you adequately,” she lamented. Eleanor realized that she should have intervened promptly when she recognized Yeager’s true nature, as it ultimately led to Hailey’s ordeal
Having shed tears already, Hailey lifted her hand, swathed in gauze, and gently stroked Eleanor’s long tresses, comforting her with soft words. “I’m fine now, you needn’t worry or blame yourself.” The predicament Hailey faced was not Eleanor’s doing. It was her own tendency to misjudge people emotionally, always having to face adversity and invest everything to gain clarity.
In truth, she, a person of this nature, ought not to attempt marriage; instead, she should embrace a solitary life, thus finding peace and tranquility. Contemplating this, Hailey glanced at Cedric, who still sat by the bedside, and her heart filled with bitterness, causing her eyes to well up once more.
“Mr. Laurence, I thank you for saving me,” she said with a calm tone, seemingly attempting to distance herself from him with a simple expression of gratitude.
Cedric frowned slightly, wanted to say something, but didn’t. He just wanted to wait until she had passed this painful period before talking to her again.
“You rest up, I have some stuff to deal with.”
With that, Cedric got up to leave, seeing Bernard outside the ward.
Where to?”
Cedric clenched his fist, his forearm muscles tensed, and veins popped out.
To find Yeager, that jerk!”
He was going to make them pay for what they did.
As Cedric was about to leave, Bernard stopped him.
“I’ve already sent that man to the police station. As for Yeager, I’ll deal with him.”
Bernard still had to clear Will Webb’s name. So he might as well settle these matters once and for all
“You’re dealing with it?”
What did Yeager have to do with Bernard? Why was he sticking his nose in?
“Watch the news tomorrow morning.”
Bernard didn’t explain, just said this.
Cedric wanted to ask more, but Bernard just patted him on the shoulder.
“You stay here and keep Ms. Vulpe company
In moments like these, when a woman underwent such hardships, having companionship was essential, and having Eleanor and Cedric by her side was the best support.
Bernard disregarded Cedric’s agreement or disagreement and had Scott stay to protect Eleanor, then turned to find Liana.
“Where is he?” Bernard inquired.
“He’s on the hospital rooftop, Liana responded promptly after learning about the situation. She immediately dispatched an ambulance to take Yeager to the hospital for basic treatment and then discreetly confined him on the top floor.
“And the medical examiner?” Bernard asked.
Liana presented the VIP card for the rooftop, swiped the elevator open, and respectfully replied, “The medical examiner is also on the top floor.” Despite not being on duty tonight, a single phone call from Liana had brought him to the hospital. As soon as he stepped into the director’s office, she detained him.
“Have you dealt with the surveillance footage?”
“It’s already taken care of, the medical examiner assured her.
Only then did Bernard extend his hand to Aidyn.
Aidyn immediately understood his meaning, took out a sealed bag from his pocket, ripped open the packaging, and took out a pair of clean gloves for
him.
As the elevator doors opened, a tall man leading a group of people slowly put on the gloves and headed towards the isolated ward…
