Chapter 981
While waiting for the traffic light, Hailey spotted a candy store by the street and remembered how
Cedric once told her he loved orange flavored gummy candies Back then, she was nestled in his arms
and asked him why he liked a candy usually favored by little girls.
He told her that on the night she accidentally hurt him, he relied on these qummies to ease the pain,
and every time he had one, it reminded him of her Hailey stared at the candy store, hesitated for a few
seconds, then parked her car and went in. It took her a while to find the orange flavored gummies
She bought a heap of them and headed to the hospital, walking directly to Cedric’s hospital room.
The room was packed with people, mostly Cedric’s friends, all trying to cheer him up.
However, Cedric didn’t show much reaction, his expression changed only slightly when he spotted her
through the crowd
Seeing her arrival, Chase quickly found an excuse to leave with the others.

Cedric didn’t seem interested in talking He just closed his eyes.
Hailey glanced at him, walked over, and sat where Chase had been sitting
“Mr. Laurence, I know you don’t want to see me again, but rest assured, after this, I won’t bother you
anymore.”
Cedric’s hand clenched slightly, then relaxed
“What do you want?” he asked, finally breaking his silence.
Seeing him speak, Harley’s eyes showed a hint of apology
“I’ve found out about the false charges Yeager put on you. I’m sorry for all the trouble you’ve been
through”
Her apology stung him a little.
Although he tried to hide his hurt, it was still a tough pill to swallow.
But Hailey’s ‘sorry for the trouble” eased his pain a bit.
“Do you finally see Yeager for who he is?”
He glared at Hailey, hurt evident in his eyes.
Hailey nodded, didn’t say anything else, just handed the gummies to Cedric.
“Your spine’s injured, I assume it hurts more than when you broke a bone. I bought a bunch of orange–
flavored gummies for you. Have one when it hurts.”
Cedric looked at the several bags of gummies, his nose stinging even more.
Nearly two years had passed since they broke up. Hailey hadn’t shown any concern or comfort for
him…
He thought she had forgotten his love for this particular candy but she remembered.
Cedric felt a little better, even though his heart was still aching
“Don’t think I’ll let it slide just because you bought me some candy”

Seeing Cedric acting like a child, Hailey smiled a little, took another candy from the bag, unwrapped it,
and held it to his lips.
“I’m not a kid. I don’t want it
Cedric kept his lips tightly closed, refusing her.
But when Hailey kept trying to pop the candy into his mouth, he finally gave in and ate it.
In reality, he was just like a child, easily appeased by a piece of candy.
Although Hailey knew this, she had never acted on it, which hurt him.
Seeing Cedric savoring the candy, Harley couldn’t help but tear up.
“Cedric, I bought you a lot of candies. If you get hurt in the future, have one, but…”
She paused, taking a deep breath,“I hope you won’t remember me anymore.”
No sooner had Cedric tasted the sweetness of the candy than it turned bitter because of her words.
He stopped chewing, lifted his eyes, and looked at the woman sitting in front of him.
Just one look was enough to tell him why she was here.
“So even knowing Yepger treated me unfairly, you still have no intention of leaving him, huh?!”
He had thought that her knowing the truth and buying him candies to comfort him meant she wanted to
make up. He didn’t expect her to have no plans of breaking up with Yeager
