A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 969

Cedric was quickly rushed to the hospital, where he was promptly taken into the emergency room.

Upon receiving news of his car accident, his entire family humedly made their way to the hospital

That night, the entrance to the emergency room was filled with an array of luxury cars, a testament to

the Laurence family’s presence. Approximately two hours later, the doors of the ER swung open, and

the Laurence family eagerly gathered around to receive an update.

The doctor informed them that Cedric had lost consciousness due to a cut on his forehead from the

shattered windshield, resulting in significant blood loss. Fortunately. there were no major issues with his

skull or brain However, his spine had sustained an injury, necessitating a month of bed rest.

Hearing this, the Laurences breathed a collective sigh of relief “As long as he’s not paralyzed, that’s all

that matters A month in bed isn’t a big deal. It’ll teach him a lesson so that he won’t drive his sports car

recklessly they remarked scolding Cedric as they annously made their way to his room

However as soon as they left, the police arrived to question Bernard regarding Cedric’s drunk driving

and involvement in a hit and run accident

Meanwhile, Robin was also brought to the hospital He demanded that the Laurences foot the entire bill

and send someone to take care of him.

With the police mediating, the Laurences, as the guilty party had no grounds to refuse So, they sent

Taylor to look after Robin

However, Robin wasn’t satisfied Out of desperation, Bernard sent Kendrick Laurence, but Robin still

kicked him out

Bernard wanted to settle the matter privately, but that depended on Robin’s willingness. So, he and the

Laurences went into Robin’s room.

“Pick one‘

Seeing the room full of Laurences, Robin felt elated. Even his injured arm seemed to hurt less.

He smirked at the Laurences, his eyes finally landing on Bernard

“You’ll do

The Laurences thought Robin was nuts, daring to ask Bernard to take care of him?

Even Robin’s bodyguard thought he was overstepping

With his hands in his pockets, Bernard’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

“You better pick someone else”

He warned Robin, if he was the one to take care of him, he’d show Robin the dark side of society.

“Pick someone else? Alright, if you say so. I’ll pick someone else.”

It seemed Robin was just using Bernard as a stepping stone. He agreed and his game suddenly shifted

to Eleanor….

“She seems nice enough, let her take care of me”

Everyone knew that messing with Bernard’s wife was crossing his line Robin sure had some guts.

But Robin didn’t care, he continued to gesture at Eleanor.

“You come here

Eleanor never expected to be the one picked by Robin. She felt like she was really down on her luck

“I’m not part of the Laurence family, I have no obligation to take care of you”

Robin raised an eyebrow looking determined

“As Bernard’s wife, you’re a Laurence How can you say you have no obligation?”

Spoiled people always make spoiled demands.

Eleanor clenched Bernard’s arm, shooting Robin a disapproving look

“Why don’t you let my husband take care of you?”

It was incredibly embarrassing for Eleanor, a married woman, to find herself in a position where she

had to take care of an unmarried man, especially in front of the Laurence family. She couldn’t help but

feel the weight of the shame and wondered how she would face everyone after this incident

However, Eleanor was determined not to fall into Robin’s trap “I won’t do it. I only want you to take care

of me, she firmly stated, refusing to give in to Robin’s stubborn

demands

Bernard’s handsome face darkened, resembling a stormy sky. He warned Robin, “Don’t push it!”

With a slight titt of his head. Robin smirked, testing the limits “if you’re willing to let Cedric go to jail,

then I won’t push it”

The Laurence family was accustomed to handling situations where the other party wasn’t severely

injured. However, this time Cedric had struck Robin, their known enemy. They couldn’t simply let it slide

The Laurence family members realized the implications of this altercation and their eyes instinctively

scanned Eleanors face, expecting her to agree with their course of action But just as Eleanor was

about to step forward and comply Bernard pulled her back, preventing her from making a decision.

“Aidyn, go get a lawyer”

He was done dealing with it. They could do whatever they wanted, even if it meant sending Cedric to

jail. But he would never let his wife deal with it

Robin, who had the upper hand, was furious that Bernard was no longer playing his game

“Bernard you’ll regret this!

As they left the room, Eleanor looked worried, “Drunk driving and hit–and–run is a big deal, you.”

Bernard cut her off emotionlessly. “He wasn’t seriously injured.”

“But still

Bernard pulled her into his arms, “You’re my wife. I won’t let you take care of another man‘

That would never happen. Not unless he was dead!

“Let the police and the lawyer handle it.”

Eleanor knew about his strong possessiveness and didn’t argue, “Alright, I’ll listen to you”
