Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 

Ryder quickly spun his head towards the door. 

Agnes had just left. 

Ryder scrunched his eyebrows, “So where you at?” 

Jared responded, “I’m not far from your hospital, about fifteen minutes away.” 

Ryder exhaled in silence. 

Seems like he’s not here yet, they probably won’t bump into each other. 

Agnes carefully secured Nocturne in the car’s child safety seat. 

This safety seat was specially customized, unlike any other. 

Nocturne could sleep in it. 

After setting up Nocturne, Aghes drove off. 

This was downtown. 

The traffic was heavy and there were tall buildings on both sides. 

Meanwhile. 

Jared was also driving on the same street. 

Seems like fate had its own agenda. 

Agnes‘ and Jared’s car both came to a halt at the same red light. 

Jared stopped his car. 

He absentmindedly turned his head. 

And then he saw a familiar profile. 

For a moment, Jared felt like time had frozen. 

That face, it had appeared in his dreams countless times. 

Every time, he wanted to reach out and touch it. 

But it would always fade into nothingness. 

On countless nights, he would wake up from his dreams. 

All he would see was endless darkness, like dawn would never come. 

Jared thought he was hallucinating. 

Over the years, he had mistaken many people for her. 

After Agnes disappeared, Jared realized, there were indeed a lot of people who looked like her. 

But they were not her. 

Even if he was mistaken at first glance, upon a second look, Jared could tell right away. 

But at this moment. 

Jared looked at that profile, no matter what, he couldn’t snap out of it. 

Even though her face looked quite different from his memory. 

Her once–long hair was now short. 

Her skin was no longer as smooth and delicate, but covered with some freckles.

But Jared’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a suffocating pain, wave after wave, reminding him this wasn’t a hallucination. 

The light turned green. 

Cars beside him drove past him. 

Jared felt like he was sucked into a whirlpool, frozen, for a few seconds, until the car behind him honked at him. 

But in an instant, he snapped out of it. 

He made a U–turn without a second thought. 

Just then, a car came from the opposite direction and blocked Jared’s way. 

He was driving against traffic and immediately caused a jam.
