A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1202

Chapter 1202

Unaware of the presence outside, Hailey, bending over the man in the hospital bed, asked, “Garett, what do you want to eat? I can make something at home.”

Garett, who had just undergone major surgery, was pale and skinny, barely had the strength to talk. But when faced with Hailey, he murmured:

“Let Colter get it. You don’t have to run back.”

Hailey had been rushing between the hospital and home for some time and was already worn out.

As she swiftly wrung out a towel, she said, “You don’t like the food here, I’ll cook at home.”

Garett tried to persuade her again but was cut off by Hailey’s gentle words, “I’m just cooking a meal, it’s not tiring. You can only have some light food now, it’s a piece of cake to prépare.”

Is cooking really not tiring?

Latonia watched Hailey, Was it because she had been cooking since she was a child that she didn’t replace it tiring?

Thinking of this, Latonia’s face sank again. Why was she always putting herself in Hailey’s shoes? This habit wasn’t good, she needed to change!

Cedric saw Hailey was busy and didn’t disturb her. He approached her after she had finished pouring water and came out.

“Hailey.”

Seeing Cedric here, Hailey was taken aback. She stood there stunned for a while, then quickly lowered her head and walked away.

Seeing her ignoring him, Cedric hurried after her and stopped her.

“Hailey, I know about my mom contacting you behind the scenes.”

Hailey had mentioned this to Eleanor, so it wasn’t surprising that Cedric knew. But…

Hailey glanced at Latonia in the distance. Why was his mother here too?

As she was puzzled, Cedric turned around and pointed at Latonia.

“I brought my mom here today to apologize to you.”

“Apologize?”

Would a high–class woman like Latonia apologize to her?

Hailey didn’t believe it at all, but Cedric said, “My mom badmouthed you first, so she naturally owes you an apology.”

After saying that, he turned his head and gestured to Latonia.

Latonia then reluctantly walked up to Hailey, “I was too harsh before, Ms. Vulpe, I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Although she lowered her head, her tone and demeanor were still condescending. But Hailey didn’t care, “It’s okay.”

After giving a casual reply, Hailey wanted to go back and cook.

Seeing her turn around, Cedric quickly reached out to grab her wrist, “Hailey, you…”

As soon as his fingers touched Hailey’s skin, she recoiled as if touched by something filthy, backing away several steps.

Her strong reaction left Cedric stunned.

What happened to Hailey? Why was she so resistant to him?

Was it because Latonia’s apology wasn’t sincere enough that she reacted this way?

Cedric, who thought it was Latonia’s problem, nudged her with his elbow.

“Mom, apologize properly, be sincere.”

When Latonia was filled with anger inside, but seeing Cedric’s pleading eyes, she forcefully suppressed her anger.

She held back her anger, adjusted her posture, and was about to apologize again, but Hailey rejected her.

“Mrs. Laurence, you don’t need to apologize to me. You’re his mother, and it’s normal for you to worry about him. I understand.”

Latonia originally thought Hailey would take this opportunity to fight back. But hearing these words, she was also stunned. What did she mean?

Hailey took out her wallet from her jean pocket, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Latonia with both hands.

“Mrs. Laurence, this is the bank card you gave me.”

Seeing the card, Cedric finally knew that Latonia had once insulted Hailey with money. His anger, which had just subsided, flared up all at once.

“According to the previous rules, if I accept the card, it means I give up on Cedric. If I don’t accept it, I will return the card to you. Now, I’m giving the card back to you.”

Hearing this, Latonia raised an eyebrow, quickly understanding that Hailey was playing mind games.

See, as soon as she lowered her status to apologize, Hailey immediately chose not to give up. Didn’t this prove her clever tactics?

Otherwise, if she genuinely didn’t want to give up, why would she pretend to reject Cedric? Was she trying to get Cedric into trouble?

Latonia, who had been persuaded by Bernard, cast all her previous doubts out of her mind after seeing Hailey’s true intentions.

“Are

you planning to give up your nightclub by returning the bank card to me?”

Hearing Latonia threatening Hailey in front of him, Cedric was about to lose his temper. But Hailey spoke first.

“I returned the card to you because I don’t want your money, and I also don’t want Cedric.”

Cedric got nervous. Hailey didn’t want him?

“Hailey, what are you talking about?”

Hailey didn’t even glance at him, she just looked at Latonia, and calmly said, “Mrs. Laurence, rest assured, I will never marry Cedric in my lifetime.”
