Chapter 1071
“I’m not saying I don’t trust you, it’s just that I’m a bit scared. If you can promise me that you won’t
cheat after marriage, then give it some time before you pursue Hailey. Don’t push her too hard right
now”
Upon hearing this, Cedric looked surprised and lifted his head.
“Eleanor, you called me here, isn’t it to keep me away from Hailey?”
Eleanor responded with a warm smile.
“My point still stands, it’s all up to you. If your feelings for Hailey are genuine and she’s willing to accept
you, I won’t stand in your way.”
Cedric didn’t expect Eleanor to be so understanding. A small smile crept up on his face.
“Thank you, Eleanor.”
Eleanor shook her head with a smile
“Go keep her company, I need to find Bernard, no idea where he’s off to”
As she was about to leave, Cedric stopped her.
“Eleanor, when you said that Hailey has feelings for me, was that for real?”

“Can’t you tell for yourself?”
Cedric reflected on when he brought Hailey to the hospital. Was it because she had feelings for him
that she explained her situation, afraid that he might think she was tainted? Thinking that Hailey might
also like him, Cedric felt a sense of relief.
“Eleanor, you should head back”
Watching Cedric wave goodbye, Eleanor chuckled in resignation.
Cedric hurried into the ward and saw Hailey applying medicine on her own. He took over.
“Lie down and don’t move, let me do it.”
Hailey glanced at him, noticing his cheery expression, she furrowed her brows.
“What did Eleanor say to you?”
Cedric, focused on applying the medicine, slowed his movements
“You’re worried she said something to me?”
Cedric’s eyes were beautiful. Every time he looked at her seriously, she was attracted.
‘No…”
She pretended to shrug it off and averted her gaze. But Cedric suddenly reached out and touched her
cheek. His fingers were warm and when they touched her cheek, Hailey shrank back.
“What are you doing?”
“Does it hurt?”
His tone was full of sympathy and his movements gentle, which caught Hailey off guard.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore”
She turned her head, avoiding his touch. She was still uneasy and just wanted to clean up once her
wounds healed.
Thinking of this, she turned back to Cedric who was still in mid–air
“Mr. Laurence, there are doctors here, you can go back now.”
Upon hearing this, Cedric slowly retracted his hand.
I’ll stay at the hospital and take care of you for a while.”
“You…”
“I know you don’t want to be around any men right now, but trust me, I won’t do anything”

through this nightmare. The determination in his eyes left Hailey speechless.
“Mr. Laurence, you don’t need to take care of me.”
There was no longer any connection between them, and they had even had quite a few conflicts, which
made the situation awkward
Cedric didn’t respond to Hailey’s words, he just held her hand and continued to apply her medicine.
After he finished, he put down the cotton swab and left. When he didn’t come back for a long time,
Hailey thought he had left and breathed a sigh of relief.
She closed her tired eyes and quickly fell asleep. The man outside waited until she was completely
asleep before he came back in and sat down by the bed
Perhaps due to the medication, Hailey slept deeply and had nightmares. Cold sweat broke out on her
forehead from time to time, and her frail body
