Chapter 1483

The moment Eleanor realized the old claiming to be her grandfather was indeed speaking the truth, she felt a wave of annoyance wash over her. It had taken her long enough to come to terms with having a husband and children, and now to add a grandfather into the mix was just too much. A headache began to pound at her temples.

Seeing Eleanor press a hand to her forehead, Hailey voiced her concern, “She can’t handle stress right now. If you really want to help her regain her memory, then you’ll have to wait until she’s adjusted.”

Yates nodded in understanding but didn’t leave. Instead, he leaned on his cane and made his way into the room. “I know she can’t be agitated at the moment, but Eleanor, Bernard doesn’t have the luxury of time.”

Hailey’s heart tightened, fearful of the provocative words Yates might utter, words that could send Eleanor spiraling into unconsciousness again. She moved to intervene, but Yates was quicker, addressing her, “Ms. Vulpe, if you don’t mind, I’d like a few words alone with Eleanor.”

Yates’ polite request left Hailey with no choice. She was soon escorted out by Yates’ associate, leaving her to gaze anxiously through the glass window of the hospital room.

Under Eleanor’s bewildered gaze, Yates approached the bedside, pulled up a chair, and sat down slowly. After a moment of silence, he looked down at the baby and said, “Never thought I’d meet my great-grandchild before I died. I suppose that’s one regret I won’t carry to the grave.”

Eleanor didn’t understand the old man’s words. She protectively cradled the baby closer, not because she remembered anything he had done, but because Hailey’s evident fear of him suggested this so-called grandfather was no good.
