Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 749
Making the decision wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment thing for Agnes. She had been mulling over the matter for days. She and
Jared were planning on starting over, and doing so demanded that they be in the same city. Jared had too many responsibilities
here, and asking him to give up everything was out of the question.
Agnes had been hustling in Manhattan for four years and had finally achieved some small successes in her career. But in this
foreign land, she never truly felt at home. Giving up was hard, but the people she loved were all here
As for Nocturne’s illness, it had significantly improved ever since he started the new medication. The current treatment plan was
to continue with this medication until something more effective was developed. Considering the length of this process and the
fact that her grandma’s health condition required her constant presence, Agnes decided to give up everything in Manhattan
Rather than saying she was giving up. Agnes preferred to see it as making a different choice. The following day, she boarded a
plane to Manhattan She had initially planned to take only a two–week leave, but she ended up staying in her hometown much

of the internet. She was always ready to help Agnes but never asked questions or gossiped.
Agnes sat next to Nate. I don’t want to leave you here alone, Nate. Come back with me. I’ll get you a more advanced setup”
This seemed to catch Nate’s interest. “Not now, but maybe in a couple of weeks”

For Nate, it didn’t really matter where she was. In Manhattan, she spent 99% of her time in her room. Her social life was minimal
at best. Agnes had come to see Nate as a little sister. It took her a lot of effort to get Nate to talk and interact with the outside
world.
Agnes respected her decision, “Alright, I’ll come to get you in a couple of weeks
It only took three days for Agnes to sort out everything in Manhattan. On the last day, she decided to visit Ryder at the Simpson
Medical Center: She knew that after leaving the Whitfield Manor, Ryder had returned to Manhattan and was probably at the
hospital.
To her surprise, when she arrived, she found the door to Ryder’s private office shut. She inquired with his assistant nurse, and
