Chapter 1484 After an intense treatment, Eleanorâs vital signs stabilized, but she remained unconscious, leaving everyone to wonder if she would ever wake up again.
âYates, youâve gone too far this time,â Moore chided after finishing his work, casting a worried glance at Yates who sat beside the hospital bed. âIf she doesnât pull through this time, she may never wake up again...â
âYou canât just shock someoneâs memory back. You have to be gentle, roundabout. This way is too risky; you could end up killing her.â
Yates didnât respond. He just stared at Eleanorâs pale face, silently willing her to awaken.
If her love for Bernard was strong enough, then surely the news of his death, along with the threat to their child, would ignite her will to wake. A Sharp had to be resilient. Without that resilience, they didnât deserve the Sharp blood running through their veins.
Yates believed with all his heart that Eleanor would come back to them, and that his drastic methods would restore her memory quickly. After all, she had survived death itself; what was a little amnesia in comparison?
So there he sat, vigil by the hospital bed, through the day and night, until the next morning when the snow began to fall again. Thatâs when Yates finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper, âEleanor, my sweetheart, itâs time to wake up.â
The critical 24-hour mark was approaching. If she made it through, sheâd be fine. If not, heâd have to live with the guilt of having played a part in her demise, adding yet another sin on top of what had happened to Bernard.
As the seconds ticked by with no sign of Eleanor waking, Yatesâ grip on his cane tightened. Just when he was about to give up hope, her fingers twitched...
He quickly woke Moore, who had dozed off, âHer fingers moved, check her, is she waking up?â
Moore, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, approached the bed and began to monitor her signs. âLetâs give it another five minutes to see if she opens her eyes. If she does, sheâll be alright...â
Five minutes can be fleeting, but for Yates, they were excruciating, like ants on a hot pan, unable to sit still. He watched Eleanor, mentally urging her to wake up. Perhaps it was the power of his longing, but finally, she slowly opened her eyes...
The first sensation was the biting cold of the snowflakes, then gradually, awareness returned. But this time, as her clear eyes met Yatesâ, they were filled with a deep resentment.
âWhy are you so cruel?â
1/2 Chapter 1484 Hearing this, Yates slumped with relief, seemingly unaffected by her hatred, only pleased that she had regained her memory.
âAt last, you remember.â
Eleanor gave him a cold look and, with a grimace of pain, began to remove the tubes from her body. As she pulled them out, blood followed, her eyes watering with the pain, but she continued, determined.
âWhat are you doing?â Yates cried, trying to stop her. âYou need treatment after waking from a deep coma. You canât just rip out the tubes. Do you want to die?â
Sweating from the pain, Eleanor lacked the strength to push him away. Instead, she glared at him with bloodshot eyes, âI hurt him because I couldnât remember. I have to find him...â
Yates was adamant. âHeâs not going anywhere for now. You can wait until youâre better to explain everything to him.â
Eleanor frowned and, gathering all her strength, pushed his hand away. Then, she grasped another tube and yanked it out, blood flowing once more.
She remained silent, continuing her task...
Watching her stubbornness, Yates intervened again. âYou may not care about hurting yourself, but as your grandfather, I do. Stop this, Iâll take you to him...â
Eleanor lifted her eyes, now red and swollen, and looked at him coldly, âI donât want help from a murderer.â
Yates had planted a neural chip in Bernardâs brain, so he was no different from a killer in her eyes. The thought of Bernard suffering alone made the pain bearable. Clenching her teeth, she pulled out all the tubes and, supporting herself on the bed, attempted to rise.
Her feet barely reached the edge of the bed when she collapsed to her knees. Yates reached out to help, but Eleanor shoved him away, âYouâve already tried to kill him with that chip; donât bother pretending to care about me now...â
Helping Eleanor to her feet, Yates sighed, âThe chip wasnât my doing. It was 1-2, Kermit Hyde. Back then, I didnât know you were Bernardâs wife, or my granddaughter. I just saw potential in him and wanted to keep him around. The chip was to ensure he stayed in line...â

Eleanor shook off his hand, âEven if he wasnât my husband, what you did-opening his skull, putting that thing inside-it must have hurt so much. Heâs flesh and blood, and you treat his life like itâs nothing...â
