Chapter 796
Back then, Hailey sat on the sideline, resting her head on her hand, watching the two of them talking
One person was itching to lie the knot and build a family while the other always found ways to dodge the bullet.
Back then, she’d figured Garett would kick himself one day, and it turned out she was right
Looking back, it was Garett who had gradually pushed Eleanor away during their time together
Garett was probably drowning in regret, unable to forgive himself
Thinking about this, Hailey snapped out of her trip down memory lane, walked over, and gently rested her hand on Garett’s shoulder, bending down to look him in the aya “Garell, what’s that saying, right? No use crying over spilled milk and don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t tie yourself down with all this.”
“Your life is barely half over There’s still a ton of years ahead. Don’t keep yourself locked up in the past.”
Hailey wasn’t good with deep, meaningful words. All she could do was offer these comforting words, hoping Garett would snap out of it.
Garett might not take her comfort, but Hailey couldn’t tell if he had really heard her. All she saw was him nodding with a small smile.
Yeager Alis, standing nearby, didn’t know what they were talking about but he guessed from the bits and pieces that Mr. Clowers might have had his heart broken.
The situation seemed to involve the influential figure at the hospital. Yeager couldn’t help but wonder if the hospital executive’s new spouse was Garett’s former love
interest
As Yeager Alis contemplated their connection, Hailey’s phone began to ring. Since she was occupied pushing Garett’s wheelchair, she asked him to grab the phone for her. Glancing at the screen, Yeager saw the caller’s name but decided not to vocalize it. Instead, he simply informed Hailey, “It’s for you”
Unaware of the caller’s identity, Hailey turned to Yeager and inquired, “Who is it?”
Yeager remained silent, but Garett, instinctively recognizing the name on the screen, stole a glance at the phone. The mention of Eleanor’s name caused his heart to sink,” and it took him a moment to regain his composure.
Hailey, oblivious to Garett’s reaction, took the phone from Yeager and saw that it was Eleanor calling. She then glanced back at Garett, sensing that something was amiss.
“Garett i need to take this call. You guys go ahead.
Garett wanted to say “let me hear her voice‘, but felt it wasn’t right, so he pushed his wheelchair a little further away.
Watching his lonely figure, Hailey answered the call, “Eleanor, why are you calling so late? What’s up?”
On the other end of the phone, Eleanor had seen Will’s post on social media. She then called Hailey, ‘Hailey, I saw Will’s post. He’s getting married to Liana tomorrow. I just arrived in Germany and can’t make it back. Could you buy a gift for me and give it to them?”
Hailey was surprised, “They are getting married tomorrow? I thought they were waiting for you guys to come back.”
Eleanor wasn’t sure, “Maybe they changed the date.” novelbin
Hailey nodded, “Okay, I’m in B City right now. III rush back tomorrow and buy two gifts to congratulate them.”
Eleanor, leaning against the villa’s railing, heard that Hailey was in Beijing, she straightened up a bit, “What are you doing there?”
Hailey was taken aback, realizing she had inadvertently spilled the beans, “1”
Hailey wasn’t good at lying, so she told the truth, “I came to see Garett”
Eleanor’s phone was on speaker Bernard was sitting on the patio sofa, looking at the phone
Hearing Garett’s name, his slender fingers scrolling on the screen paused slightly, then quickly returned to normal, continuing to scroll up
Eleanor glanced at Bernard subconsciously, seeing no reaction on his face, she calmly replied, “Okay”
Any other words, like how is he doing, or say hi for me, would seem too contrived.
Only ‘okay‘ could end the topic and sound normal….
After hanging up the call, Eleanor put down her phone and walked over to Bernard.
Under the right sky, the man’s profile looked as if it was sculpted by God himself, with clear lines.
His eyelashes were long and thick, casting a shadow over his eyes when he looked down.
He was checking the financial data of the Lawrence Group, his fingers constantly sliding on the screen. But his speed was so fast that it gave away his mood to Eleanor.
She didn’t say anything just sat next to him. After a few seconds of silence, seeing that he didn’t pay her any attention, she reached out and held his phone screen.
“Bernard, do you know any doctors who can treat leg diseases?”
She still hoped that Garett could stand up. Only then would she feel less guilty
