A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 176

Chapter 176 

After Hailey shouted, she immediately covered her face and cried out in pain. 

The sight of her like this brought tears to Eleanor’s eyes. 

With all her strength, Eleanor reached out and grasped Hailey’s clothes, trying to console her. However, Hailey couldn’t bear to face the scene in front of her and took a step back. 

Overwhelmed with tears, she fled from the ward. As Hailey’s figure grew distant, Eleanor couldn’t hold back her own tears, which streamed down her face. 

Hailey rushed out of the VIP ward, her footsteps instinctively halting at the entrance to the general ward. 

In that moment, she longed for Austin’s help, even though she wasn’t sure how he could assist her. She simply needed someone to lean on. Sobbing, she approached the door of the ward, but to her surprise, she didn’t find Austin and his sister there. Instead, she saw the neighboring single room. 

She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but the noisy sound made her stop in her tracks. 

She turned back and took a step towards the next room. 

The door was locked and the curtain was pulled, but there was a gap that allowed her to see inside clearly. 

When Hailey witnessed the scene, she was overcome with a wave of nausea and had to fight back the urge to vomit. 

She covered her mouth and stared at Austin and Allysha, unable to believe what she was seeing. She had always believed that Austin, a. seemingly ordinary and trustworthy man, would never betray her. 

However, reality hit her like a slap in the face, as within just a month of their marriage, he had done something that deeply disappointed her. 

It was unbelievably absurd, making her lose faith not only in him but in everything she believed in. In that instant, her beliefs crumbled, and her spirit shattered. 

Trembling, she made a desperate dash towards the hospital exit. Eleanor was dying, and Austin was being unfaithful. 

So what should she do? 

She couldn’t see the path beneath her feet, only focusing on running forward. 

She didn’t know how long she had been running, nor where she had run to, until she ran into someone, she finally stopped. 

However, she was like a walking corpse, with no reaction, just walking by blankly. 

“Stop right there!” 

Cedric Laurence grabbed the woman’s arm and threw her against the car door. 

“You knock into someone and just want to leave?!” 

Usually, Cedric was always a gentleman and considerate towards women, never losing his temper like that. 

But unluckily for him, he was really down on his luck today – even playing golf ended up dislocating his wrist. 

Thinking the hospital was close by, he decided not to bother his family doctor. Little did he know, as soon as he got out of the car, he would be knocked into by a woman with tear–streaked face. 

The dislocated wrist, after being hit so hard, had suffered a second fracture. 

There was a loud crack, but the woman hitting him seemed completely unaware, not even apologizing and trying to walk away. 

Who could continue to be a gentleman in such a situation? 

Hailey heard his voice but didn’t even look at him, her lifeless eyes staring forward. 

Seeing her like this, Cedric thought she had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness, so his anger subsided a bit. 

But that didn’t mean he wasn’t angry or holding a grudge! 

“I got a fracture because of you, a little compensation will make this go away.” 

Only then did Hailey react. As she turned her attention to him, Cedric had already taken out his phone and placed it in front of her. 

“Two thousand.” Cedric raised his chin, signaling her to pay. 

Hailey knew she had run into someone, but she had just suffered a double blow and was a bit dazed, so she forgot to apologize. 

Hearing the man say she had fractured his wrist, she finally came to her senses and looked at his drooping left wrist, which seemed quite serious. 

So she didn’t say anything more and obediently took out her phone from her jeans pocket.

Chapter 176 

Just as she was about to make the transfer, a doctor in a white coat came over. 

“Mr. Laurence, the orthopedic doctor has been arranged.” 

As Hailey’s fingers paused, she looked at him coldly, “Are you from the Laurence family?” 

“That’s right.” 

Cedric nodded at the doctor, then looked back at her, “What’s the problem?” 

Looking closely at him, Hailey found him tall and handsome, somewhat similar to Bernard. 

Her face immediately darkened as she put her phone away, and said coldly, “Sorry, even if my money is thrown into the sea, I won’t give it to anyone from the Laurence family.”
