Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 

Four years later- 

In a highrise apartment in downtown Manhattan

The alarm went off and Agnes got up immediately. After a warlike hot shower, she felt refreshed

It’s the weekend

In theory, she could have a lie in

However, today there’s some serious business to take care of

Agnes got dressed, headed to the kitchen, and whipped up a sandwich for breakfast

Then, she ventured into the other room

Agnes opened the door and stepped inside

A little boy was lying on the bed

The kid was ridiculously cute

His hair was fluffy and soft, and his facial features were welldefined

Most kids at four or five years old still have those chubby baby faces

But this little guy was different. His face was mature for his age, with a pair of distinctive eyebrows and eyes. His eyelashes were so long, they could even pass for a girl’s

When he slept, his eyelashes fluttered gently, like a butterfly flapping its wings

The boy’s skin was as tender as the petals of a flower that bloom in the early morning

He’s in a deep sleep, oblivious to Agnespresence

Agnes sat by the bed

She reached out and gently struck the boy’s hair

This was her son, Nocturne

Nocturne was a preemie, born on a midsummer night

Looking back, it was a real nailbiter for Agnes, but luckily, she pulled through

Agneshand brushed Nocturne’s cheek

However, possibly due to oxygen deprivation during the difficult birth, Nocturne was diagnosed with a rare disorder after he was born

The medical term was Atypical Neurological Hypersomnia

Nocturne spent most of his day sleeping, with very little awake time

From the moment Nocturne was born, Agnes noticed that this kid was not like the others

He was always sleeping, barely even ate

Although for a baby, that’s kind of normal

But when Nocturne was still the same after his first birthday

Agnes began to feel that something was wrong

She took Nocturne to a bunch of topnotch doctors, but the conclusion was the same: no cure

Most doctors believe it was caused by neurological oxygen deprivation during birth

But this hadn’t affected Nocturne’s intelligence

On the contrary, Nocturne was a genius

At just four years old, he had already learned two languages and shown amazing ability in numbers

People even said he’s more gifted than they were at his age

When Nocturne was awake, he showed an extraordinary level of focus

He had an amazing ability to absorb knowledge, even with just one look

Agnes never thought that she, a firm believer in the power of hard work, would give birth to such a genius

But… 

Whenever she thought about this, Agnes felt very sad in her heart

If she hadn’t been working while pregnant, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped, given birth prematurely, or caused Nocturne’s oxygen deprivation due to difficult 

labor 

Thinking about the past sent a chill down Agnesspine 

Her biggest wish now was for Nocturne to improve through treatment

Even if he couldn’t fully recover, if his sleep duration could just decrease bit by bit, Agnes would be over the moon

Fortunately, a worldclass medical team was currently treating Nocturne

They’re the most influential team in the field of neurology, the Novy Medical Team

Nocturne was now taking a new drug developed by this team

Over the past two years, they’d seen some positive effects

Nocturne’s awake time had increased

With a certain drug, he could even stay awake for two hours

But Agnes wouldn’t let Nocturne take this drug lightly, because its side effect was that he needed even more time to rest and recover the next day

Reading History

No history.
