Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 49

Jenny pulled a face of injustice and said to everyone, “You all heard it. That was recorded a month

ago. Agnes has been trying to make me get rid of the baby, but I never thought she would do

something so outrageous. Agnes, how could you be so heartless, you criminal…”

Agnes started to tremble uncontrollably again.

This deep–seated fear was surging from within her.

The recording was indeed from Agnes, but at the time, she knew Jenny’s intentions and said it

casually, trying to shake off Jenny’s pestering

Agnes never thought Jenny would be so prepared. She must have seen this day coming from back

then.

Agnes thought the person in front of her was too horrifying.

She wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn’t say

a word.

Hancock Taylor and Sarah looked at Agnes with shock and disappointment.

Jenny’s crying echoed in the ward as she kept saying, “Agnes, why did you want to kill my and Elton’s

child? Agnes, I won’t let you off. I will make you pay, you criminal…” Hancock Taylor sighed and walked

over to Elton, who had been sijent.

Hancock Taylor asked, “This mess happened because of you. What are you going to do now?”

Elton hadn’t really looked at Agnes from start to finish. Now, he finally spoke, “I will get engaged to

Jenny.”

Elton’s answer surprised everyone. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Sarah was the first to react, “Have you lost your mind? She doesn’t have your child anymore, and you

still want to get engaged to her? We, the Taylor family, are the upper class of Willowbrook Town. Your

future marriage should be well–matched. You can’t be so reckless.”

Elton firmly said, “I will get engaged to Jenny as soon as possible, then study abroad. Haven’t you always wanted me to study business management in the US? I will take Jenny with me. Elton was

resolute.

Sarah had never seen her son so desolate.

Perhaps he was too heartbroken. After all, it was his child.

And everything was triggered by Agnes, the girl Elton had liked since he was a kid.

Agnes didn’t Know how she walked out of the hospital.

But when she was outside, she felt like she had lost her soul.

She remembered Elton’s last words to her, “Agnes, from now on, I owe you nothing, and neither does

Jenny. From now on, we’re strangers.”

After Elton said this, Agnes turned around and left.

Her face was expressionless, but her heart was twitching, feeling somewhat numb.

Just as Agnes stepped out, her phone rang.

It was a call from Jared. But Agnes didn’t want to pick up.

Agnes aimlessly wandered on the sidewalk alone, not knowing where to go.

Finally, she stopped outside a park.

Agnes sat on a bench by the road, her mind blank.

But her heart felt like it was being constantly cut by a knife. This dull pain made her limbs feel icy cold.

Agnes didn’t know how long she sat on the bench until Jared appeared before her.
