Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 879

She seemed to recall something, nodding hesitantly before mumbling, "It was me who gave Dad his name..."

Hayes didn't think Teresa was hiding anything from him; instead, he figured she was just saddened by old memories.

Uncomfortable, Teresa took a sip of orange juice before continuing, "Dad really can't remember anything. He doesn't even know I'm his daughter. We even did a paternity test to be sure.

"I thought so too! That chip is the root of all this! Hayes, is there any way to fix it, to get rid of the chip?"

"Teresa, there isn't a perfect solution. If we try to force the chip out of Dad's brain, it'll kill him instantly."
