Chapter 1354 Eleanor glanced at Hailey, seeing the same sentiment in her eyes, she lowered her gaze, âLetâs wait until he gets back.â Cedric caught the underlying meaning, his lips curling up quickly, âEleanor, youâre the best. Iâll get you some extra soup.â
After ladling the soup, Cedric placed the bowl in front of Eleanor.
Before she could even take a sip of the warm broth, Robin walked in, âI ran into the Sharp brothers downstairs. Did they come by to deliver a report?â
Eleanor confirmed, and Robin guessed what the report contained. He was puzzled, âHow did Yates know you resemble his lover?â
Eleanor accepted the spoon Hailey passed her, responding. âI had to take my sisterâs place in a meeting once. Mr. Sharp saw me and looked me up, said I reminded him of his girlfriend.â
She briefly explained, then elaborated for Robin, âAnyway, they have resources and connections. It wouldnât be hard for them to find out about me.â
Even after hearing Eleanorâs explanation, Robin still felt a bit confused, unsure where his doubt was coming from.
Because Petersonâs narrative is flawless, thereâs no room for falsehood. He had no choice but to ask Eleanor, âSo, have you decided to go back to the Sharp family?â
Just as Eleanor was about to answer, Katharine stumbled into the room from outside.
âEleanor! Youâre awake?!â
Seeing Katharine, Robin instinctively furrowed his brows. He purposefully hadnât informed her. Whoâd have thought sheâd show up at the hospital herself?
She had lost weight in recent times, with her pregnancy barely showing and her complexion pale. She wanted to stay at home and rest, but her concern for Calebâs fate made her restless.
She had come to see if Eleanor had woken up, not expecting Eleanor to not only be awake but also up and about.
âSheâs awake, but why didnât any of you tell me?â She looked around at all people sitting in the room; she felt as if she was abandoned by everyone, her eyes welling up with hurt.
âI didnât want to worry you because youâre not feeling well.â Robin explained briefly, not saying much else. Instead, he tried to lead her away.
Katharine shook off his hand, walking up to Eleanor, her eyes red and teary, looking at her.
Seeing Katharine in this state, Eleanor was reminded of the image of Caleb being swallowed by the snake, her heart filled with fear and pain.
Katharine had already sensed something from Eleanorâs demeanor, yet she still asked Eleanor hopefully, âEleanor, tell me, is Caleb still alive like Bernard?â
Eleanor didnât know how to answer, her eyes, bloodshot, didnât dare to meet Katharineâs.
Seeing Eleanorâs silence and refusal to meet her eyes, Katharine quickly raised her pale hand, placing it on Eleanorâs shoulder, âDonât be scared, just tell me what you know. I wonât get angry, and I wonât blame you.â
Katharineâs face had a faint smile, and she seemed emotionally stable.
Just as Eleanor was about to speak, Robin stepped forward, once again grabbing Katharineâs arm, âHer answer is the same as mine. Donât pressure her anymore, let me take you home to rest.â
Something Robin said must have upset Katharine, she angrily shook off his hand, âIâm just asking her a question. How is that pressuring her?!â
âI know youâre not pressuring her. Iâm just worried about your health, I...â Before Robin could finish, Katharine, who was emotionally charged, yelled at Eleanor hysterically, âIâm asking you a question. Why arenât you answering?!â
Before Eleanor left, she knew that Katharine had been emotionally unstable due to shock. Eleanor felt sorry for her and was worried that she wouldnât be able to handle the truth.
But if she didnât give a definite answer, Katharineâs heart would never be at peace.
So... better to bear a short pain than a long one.
Eleanor clenched her fists, lifted her reluctant eyes, and looked at Katharine, âCaleb is dead.â
Upon hearing the answer, Katharine surprisingly calmed down, her face no longer twisted in anger.
âHuh.â After a while, she suddenly let out a cold laugh, âSo Bernardâs life is worth more than Calebâs? Is that it?â
Her words struck Eleanorâs heart, more painful than being pricked by a needle. After all, Caleb had died trying to save Bernard...
âIâm sorry.â Eleanor didnât know what else to say, so she apologized.
âWhat good does an apology do?â Katharine, standing by the bed, had a grim look in her clear eyes, âCaleb died because of your husband!â What she said was the truth, and Eleanor had no rebuttal.

Eleanor thought that Katharineâs rant would gradually dissipate. But the moment Eleanor lowered her eyes, a bowl of hot soup was suddenly splashed on her face.
The pain was so intense that Eleanor couldnât even speak. Her vision blurred by the soup splashes, and she saw Katharine reaching for a bowl of
steaming soup to splash on her..
