Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 728

Agnes felt a pit in her stomach. No matter what punishment Laura faced, her parents were never coming back.

Suddenly, she thought of Beatrice, then she asked, "How is Beatrice doing now?"

Jared sighed regretfully, "She can't accept her return to her original state, she's practically delirious. She's at St. Mary's Psychiatric Hospital."

Agnes was surprised, "That's a mental health clinic."

Indeed, St. Mary's was widely acknowledged as an asylum.

Jared added, "In this world, you reap what you sow. She's done so many bad things; she nearly killed you, her own sister. This is a fitting end."

But it was still a sad outcome. Agnes wasn't soft-hearted, nor did she pity Beatrice because she was her sister. She just felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Their father's longstanding wish was for them to live in harmony, but since childhood, they were like two trees in the desert, fighting for resources until death.

Jared could see Agnes' sadness.

He gave her shoulders a comforting rub, "Don't dwell on it. I want to take you to meet someone this afternoon."

Agnes looked up, "Who?"

Jared, playing coy, responded, "It's a secret."

Agnes' curiosity was piqued, and she slowly started to forget her troubles. Despite her probing, Jared kept mum about their rendezvous.

In the evening, Jared took Agnes to a Thai restaurant.
