Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 589

Agnes heaved a sigh, seemingly at a loss for words.

“Jared knows you got a kid?”

Agnes shook her head, replying, “He doesn’t know, and I don’t want him to.”

Kerri could more or less guess some of the stuff going on between them.

Agnes had been off the grid for four years.

In those four years, Jared seemed to have changed a lot.

He was always caught up in all sorts of tabloids and scandals, and now, there were rumors of his

marriage.

Surely, a lot must have happened between them during this time.

Agnes and Kerri didn’t really talk much about the last four years.

To them, those were painful memories.

They didn’t bring it up, like an unspoken agreement.

But when they talked about their kids, they couldn’t stop.

Kerri asked, “How does Nocturne come like that?”

Mentioning this, Agnes was clearly in pain, “He was born this way, getting a neurological sleep

disorder, a rare disease worldwide.”

As a doctor, Kerri knew a bit about this disease.

But she was also aware that, with the current medical advancements, curing this disease was

extremely difficult.

Kerri could only comfort Agnes, “Modern medicine is constantly advancing. You’ll find a cure, just hang

in there.”

Agnes chuckled, “It’s fine, I’ve accepted it over the years. Besides, Nocturne’s condition has improved

a lot. I believe he’ll be able to lead a normal life in the future.”

Although Agnes said this, she knew in her heart that the only thing that could cure Nocturne would be a

miracle.

Yet, Agnes still had faith,

Even if Nocturne remained this way for life, he’d still lead a good life.

They talked about a lot of things. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Before they knew it, dawn had broken.

Kerri’s shift was over, so they went back to the dorm to check on their kids.

Nocturne was still asleep, while Sprague was already awake.

He was lying by Nocturne’s bed. Seeing Agnes come in, he asked puzzledly, “When will this boy wake

up? Why’s he sleeping so long?”

Agnes walked over, patting Sprague’s head, “He’ll wake up soon.”

Based on Agnes‘ understanding of Nocturne, he should wake up in about four hours.

Nocturne’s fever had subsided a bit, but not completely, so he had to continue with his IV drip.

Kerri came in, adjusting the IV for Nocturne and saying, “The dosage has been halved, the fever

should subside after this IV.”

Agnes nodded, “Kerri, thank you.”

Without Kerri, they’d probably still be bustling around in the lobby.

Kerri glanced at Agnes, “No need for formalities.”

After that, she got up and said, “You haven’t slept all night, go have some food in our staff canteen,

then come back and get some sleep.”

Although Agnes had been up all night, she didn’t feel tired.

On the other hand, Kerri had just finished her night shift and should be sleeping now.

Agnes said, “We’ll leave after Nocturne’s done with his IV.”

Kerri nodded, “Alright, it’s indeed more comfortable to sleep at home. Let’s go to the canteen and eat, the food here is pretty good.”

In the dorm, there was Kerri, and another doctor on duty, Devin.

Agnes followed Kerri to the staff canteen.

Just as they sat down to eat, Devin ran over in a hurry, “Kerri, something’s happened, one of the kids

in your dorm… has been kidnapped…” Devin was panting heavily.

Kerri’s heart sank, “Devin, what on earth happened?”

Devin began to explain, “It was people sent by Mr. Simonds, they forcibly took the kid away. I couldn’t

stop them. They were so brazen, doing such a thing in the dorm of a hospital. Should we call the

police?”
