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 find 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

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.

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