A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 970

Chapter 970

After a night of bustling activity, only Cedric’s parents and Sigrid remained at the Laurence family home, the rest were sent home by Bernard Cedric eventually regained consciousness, and the first person he saw was Bernard, sitting by his hospital bed with hands folded across his chest, watching him intently Despite attempting to move. Cedric found his body unresponsive

“You sustained a hit to your spine, that’s why you can’t move for now, Bernard informed him. Cedric’s parents scolded him and gave him stern looks.

“You were well aware of how drunk you were, why on earth did you drive to replace Bernard?” they reprimanded him. The memories of his car crash from the previous night came flooding back, and he fell silent, his expression subtly changing

This was the first time Bernard had seen such a desperate look on Cedric’s face, akin to someone who had just experienced heartbreak and was feeling completely miserable Bernard had a hunch that something else was bothering Cedric He asked Cedric’s parents to go home and rest, promising to stay and keep an eye on things.

Cedric’s parents reluctantly agreed and offered some advice before leaving

Once they were gone, Bernard looked down at Cedric, who was pale as a ghost.

“Why the hell did you crash your car twice? Were you trying to off yourself?”

Cedric looked even paler, a little wronged, but didn’t say much.

“I mistook the gas pedal ”

He would never admit he was trying to end it all.

But this kind of excuse might foot Eleanor, but it couldn’t fool Bernard.

“And why did you come looking for me in the middle of the night?”

Cedric’s eyes were red and swollen. He glanced at Eleanor sitting on the sofa.

He seemed to have something to ask her, but after the car crash, he felt it was pointless.

“I took a wrong turn

Normally, if Cedric felt wronged, he wouldn’t hesitate to voice it out, but now he just vaguely answered.

“Looks like your wound is quite serious”

Bernard was referring to the wound in his heart.

Cedric understood, but chose to stay silent.

Out of respect for his parents, Sigrid hadn’t told Bernard about what happened yesterday.

Now, seeing that Cedric was unwilling to talk, Sigrid got up and signaled to Bernard.”

They found an excuse and left the room, leaving only Eleanor and Cedric. The atmosphere became awkward.

“Do you want some water?”

Cedric couldn’t move his neck, he just blinked.

“Thanks, I’m good.”

Eleanor seemed hesitant to speak up, but ultimately she chose to remain silent.

Shortly after, Bernard reentered the room and immediately directed his gaze towards Cedric. He asked if Cedric wanted him to call Ms. Vulpe.

At first, Cedric’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, but it swiftly faded away. He responded, “No, I don’t want to see her.”

Despite his words, Cedric’s expression revealed his true feelings.

He obviously wanted to see Ms. Vulpe, but he stubbornly said no.

Bernard watched Cedric, observing him quietly, then raised an eyebrow

“Alright, I’ll tell everyone not to tell Ms. Vulpe about your accident.”

Cedric’s eyes dimmed, but he braced himself against the pain.

Bernard glanced at the somewhat uncomfortable Cedric, then turned his gaze to Eleanor

With just a glance, Eleanor understood her husband’s intention.

In fact, she had been suspecting that Cedric’s car accident was due to a fallout with Hailey and was hesitating whether to tell Hailey about it.

Now seeing Bernard’s hint, she immediately found an excuse to leave the room
