Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 

What’s the deal between Jared and Dr. Ryder? 

Everyone at the hospital got it. 

Dr. Ryder was the only descendant of the third generation of the Whitfield family 

He was the grandson of Tim Whitfield. 

Jared was Dr Ryder’s uncle, and that chick was Ryder’s aunt 

It seemed like everyone got the wrong end of the stick yesterday. 

However, if Jared was Dr. Ryder’s uncle, why did Dr. Ryder sound so icy when he talked to him, even calling him Mr. Whitfield? 

It got everyone’s head spinning 

Jared cast a glance at the doctors and nurses at the door, furrowed his brows a little, then let go of Agnes. 

And then came another bunch of people, with Ryder in the mix. 

Agnes was also getting a headache. 

Actually, there was nothing wrong with her. There was no need for her to stay in the hospital. 

She was planning to check out that day. 

Her attending physician, Dr. Porras, came to check on Agnes, asked a few routine questions. Then he said, ‘Ms. Pritchard, if you want to check out, you can do that anytime.” After a while, the doctors and nurses all left. 

But Ryder didn’t leave. 

Jared looked pissed and said, “What do you want?” 

“I just heard you guys mention my name,” Ryder responded promptly. 

The room fell eerily silent. 

Agnes was also looking down in the dumps. 

Did Ryder hear her conversation with Jared? 

It would have been impossible as the door was closed. And there were so many doctors and nurses, constantly giving medical reports. 

Even if Ryder heard some noise from inside, he should only be able to catch some muffled words. 

But Agnes wasn’t sure. 

Jared didn’t say anything, he just quietly looked at Ryder, as if waiting for him to say something next. 

Ryder went on, “If this conflict between you two is because of me, then forget it. Uncle, I know what you’re thinking. I like Agnes, but that’s just my own thing. I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you, but you don’t have to worry, because I’m planning to go back to the Thomas family.” 

Jared’s face changed instantly, and he asked, “Back to the Thomas family? You’ve made up your mind?” 

Ryder nodded and replied, “I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go convince my mom and grandpa. So, uncle, you don’t need to worry about me being a threat to your marriage.” 

That was the first time that Ryder admitted his feelings for Agnes in front of Jared. 

Having said that, Ryder turned around and left. 

The room was dead silent. 

Actually, Agnes and Jared both knew that Ryder was clueless about the truth. 

He probably thought that a hug one night, or a few words caused the emotional conflict between them. 

But in reality, it was much more complicated than that.
