Chapter 1472
Garett was a man of restraint and propriety, always measured in his actions. Even when he knew
Eleanor’s love for him had withered away, he remained steadfast, silently cherishing her from afar.
Such character was indeed precious.
It was this very preciousness that caused Bernard to look up at Garett’s upright silhouette, his
handsome brows furrowed slightly, his eyes bloodshot, betraying a storm of complex
emotions.
As the doors of the ICU were about to close, a cool, indifferent voice reached Garett’s
ears-
“Thanks…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGarett halted mid-stride, turning back to glimpse Bernard sitting at the bedside. To the world, he was
proud, but before Eleanor, he was utterly humble. It must have been a profound love that enabled him
to utter such a heartfelt thanks…
Garett had been pulling strings everywhere to find the best doctors, bringing any he found straight to
the hospital. But each one, after examining Eleanor’s condition, echoed the grim prognosis of the old

The doctors Robin brought were of the same opinion, and so it went with the medical experts consulted
by the Sharps, the Laurences, and the Pines. When Yates saw that all the doctors agreed there was no
hope, he lashed out at Blake.
He waited for Blake to be discharged, found the perfect moment, and planned to run him down with his
car. After all, he had no desire to go on living himself. Taking down an old geezer with him seemed
fitting.
But before Yates could floor the accelerator, he saw Blake’s Lincoln get flipped by a big truck just
outside the hospital.
The crash was catastrophic. The truck practically steamrolled over the car, leaving it crushed. Yates, in
shock for a moment, then sighed, echoing Bernard’s earlier words-
Those whom the heavens want to destroy, they first make mad.
When Bernard heard about the old man’s accident, he didn’t blink an eye, nor did he attend the funeral.
His entire focus was on one thing only, finding a doctor who could save
Eleanor.
But with each new doctor came a spark of hope, only to be crushed by their verdict. And as if things

Bernard who stood vigil by the ICU received one critical condition notice after another. Initially, his hand
shook as he signed them, but eventually, he grew numb…
He didn’t even have time to take a look at his child, to know if it was a boy or a girl. All he
