Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 

At the circus, they finally spotted Agnes. Currently, an elephant, with its trunk holding a pen, was being showcased for its “artistic talent“, creating something reminiscent of a Picasso piece. The trainer was using a whip to guide it. Honestly, this type of animal act disturbing. Still, there was a significant number of spectators. 

Agnes seemed disinterested, almost as if she’d been swept into the area by the throng Suddenly, chaos erupted. People began to panic and scream. Brayden quickly realized the elephant had become agitated. It had thrown its pen, knocked the trainer off his feet, and was now charging at the audience. 

No one had anticipated this. The crowd scattered in all directions. Agnes had been lost in thought but was jolted back to the present. As she was about to leave with the crowd, a child’s cry caught her ear. Turning, she saw the elephant had comered a young boy and lifted him into the air with its trunk. His parents were nowhere in sight. 

The whole place was filled with screams, total chaos. 

Agnes bolted towards the scene. 

The elephant was going nuts, swinging the kid around with its trunk. 

Good thing the kid didn’t fall or hit anything hard. 

Agnes took a look around, picked up a bottle of water off the ground and hurled it at the elephant. 

When a bottle struck the elephant on its trunk, it roared in anger, releasing the child it held aloft. Agnes sprinted forward, catching the child just in time. But this only angered the elephant more. As it swung its trunk, Agnes lost her balance. Although she rolled several times on the ground, she protected the child in her arms. 

Just as the elephant charged towards Agnes, Brayden stepped in with a stick, distracting the beast. Chaos ensued, but soon security arrived and quickly tranquilized the elephant. 

Rushing to Agnes‘ side, Brayden inquired about her condition. She winced, realizing she had hurt her arm in the commotion, seemingly dislocated. Just as they made this discovery, the child’s grateful parents approached, having witnessed the harrowing event. They insisted on accompanying Agnes and Brayden to the hospital.
