Chapter 975

Now with Hertha gone, it’s just Cedric left in the ward

As she walked in, Cedric shot her a glance, completely uninterested

The look in his eyes stopped her in her tracks, as if she just remembered that he’d mentioned not

wanting to see her again.

Hailey stood in the doorway, eyeing Cedric, unsure of what to do for a good while before gathering up

the courage to walk up to him.

“You… you okay?”

At first, Hailey had come to inquire about the events of the day, but when she saw Cedric’s pale face,

her concern kicked in instinctively

Cedric remained unresponsive, as if he didn’t want to talk to her or see her again, and he shut his eyes.

Feeling unsure of what to say, Hailey stood awkwardly at the foot of his bed for a moment before finally

asking. I came here to ask why did you hit Yeager?”

This question seemed to strike Cedric’s already low spirits even harder. He retorted, “Why, are you

mad at me for hitting Yeager?”

“I’m not mad about that,” Hailey replied gently. “I’m just worried about you.”

Cedric’s gaze turned cold as he interrupted, “Worried that after I recover, I’ll go looking for trouble?”

“Don’t worry, once I’m back on my feet, I’ll make sure he pays!

He, Cedric, had never been so humiliated in his lifel

Even if Hailey were to protect Yeager, he’d make sure Yeager pays!

Cedric’s intense gaze filled with murderous intent sent Hailey’s heart racing

“Cedric, don’t do anything stupid,” she pleaded

“Whether I do or not, it’s none of your business anymore,” he coldly replied, lifting his head to glance at

the door

“Out. Don’t come looking for me again,” Cedric ordered.

Her heart ached at his words, but the coldness in his eyes crushed her courage. She felt responsible

for his accident, and any further concern from her might seem

insincere

Telling him to rest well, Hailey turned and left the room, carrying a heavy sense of regret.

Outside the ward, she bumped into Hertha. Seeing Hailey emerge from the room, Hertha instinctively

glanced at Cedric, noticing the grim expressions on both of their faces She knew that their conversation

had not gone well and sighed with relief.

*Come with me.”

She reached out her hand, gesturing for Hailey to follow.

Hailey thought that Hertha was looking for a fight, so she followed her to the end of the corridor, quickly

starting to explain herself.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I just wanted to ask Cedric why he hit Yeager…

Hertha was impressed by Yeager’s foresight and also surprised that Hailey didn’t know that she and

Cedric had broken up.

But this was also a good thing, as she could use this opportunity to make things between Cedric and

Hailey even worse…

“So thats all you came for? Here I thought you were still hung up on Cedric.”

Hailey was taken aback, and it seemed like Hertha had read her mind. She lowered her head in

embarrassment

“No…”

“That’s good then Cedric’s my boyfriend. You, about to be married, should stop pining for him and not

meet or worry about him alone when I’m not around It’s not fair to me or your future husband…”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think about all that, I just had some questions and wanted to ask him alone…

In front of Yeager, Hailey couldn’t show any doubts, so she had to ask in private. But she didn’t

consider that Hertha might be upset

“You were there in the ward too, you could’ve told me just the same…”

Hertha gave Hailey a contemptuous look, but continued speaking.

“Yeager came with flowers, picked up fruit for Cedric, told him to rest up and come to your wedding!”

So it was because Yeager invited him to the wedding that he got so mad and hit Yeager?

“Cedric’s just like that. After we broke up, he was a mess over me. Don’t think that he’s like this

because he loves you too much. He just can’t stand seeing his ex-girlfriend suddenly with someone

else My ex–boyfriend was the same way just a few words of well wishing got him to hit someone,

including every girl he dated afterwards. In Cedric’s mind, he’s always had this possessiveness over

things from the past…”

“Really?”

Hailey asked with a sarcastic smile, as if she was reflecting on her own overthinking and

misunderstanding of Cedric, not realizing that he was like this with all his ex–girlfriends

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Norene She and Cedric were together for a long time.”

“No need, what you said is enough”

Hailey didn’t know about Hertha and Cedric’s past, only that Hertha was Cedric’s first love, his publicly

acknowledged girlfriend. Her words, without a doubt…. Feeling awkward, Hailey said I should go and,

like she was running away, left the hospital.

Watching Hailey’s hasty departure, a smug smile crept onto Hertha’s face
