Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Dr. Elisha pulled off his mask and said, "He suffered a fractured rib, but the injury is not serious. In order to prevent sequelae, he needs to be hospitalized for observation. But don't worry too much. Young people are generally very strong, and he should recover soon."

Jared let out a sigh of relief

When he turned to look at Agnes, he found her already in tears.

Agnes was clearly shaken.

When that hefty iron frame came crashing down, she felt as if she were being dragged into the depths of the ocean.

A huge wave came violently and almost drowned her. But Ryder had grabbed her.

When Agnes looked at Ryder again, he was already lying in the hospital ward

His chest was strapped down

He was sitting up straight, furrowing his brows, a hint of pain visible on his face.

Jared walked to the bedside and asked him, "How are you feeling now?"

Ryder gave a faint smile. "I'm alright. Don't tell my mom and grandpa. I don't want them to worry"

Jared responded, "I know."

After Ryder finished his gaze shifted to behind Jared.

Agnes walked up behind Jared, her eyes still red and swollen.

"Are you okay...

"Are you okay...

The two said this sentence almost at the same time. Afterwards, the ward returned tits previous tranquility

Jared furrowed his brows

Agnes was the first to speak. "I wasn't injured. Luckily you were there"

Ryder glanced at Jared, his tone returning to its usual coolness. "Im glad you're okay, In that situation, I would have protected anyone, so don't mind it." On the way home Agnes sat in Jared's car, finally regaining her composure.

But Jared was poker-faced, not uttering a word.

The temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

Agnes felt increasingly guilty.

Ryder was Jared's favonte nephew, and now he was in the hospital because of her. That must've upset Jared a lot.

In her heart, Agnes silently decided to do her best to make it up to him.

The next morning when Jared woke up, he found no one beside him.

He glanced at the wall clock and found it was just past five in the morning

Jared frowned, getting up.

Agnes was not in the room.

When he left the room, he went to the dining room and saw Agnes cooking soup

Jared walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Agnes turned around "I'm making Ryder a com soup. He can't eat solid food now, so he can only have soup."

"You can ask the nanny to do this kind of thing"

Agnes responded, "He was injured saving me. Now, he's in the hospital and I can't do much. I can only do what I can to express my gratitude."

Agnes had put the cooked soup into a thermos.

Then she told Jared, "You can go back to sleep. I'll deliver breakfast and then head to school'

For several consecutive days, Agnes got up early to make soup.

From the initial com soup, to mushroom soup, and then to tomato soup, there were diferent variations every day

Actually, Agnes's cooking skills were just average.

But, in order to take care of Ryder, she specifically asked the chef at home for advice, and would repeatedly cook soup at night, gradually mastering some skills. These days, she was even learning how to cook other dishes.

Every night when Jared came home, he could see Agnes busying herself in the kitchen.

Then, he would silently enter the study, not returning to the bedroom until very late

Agnes gradually noticed that Jared seemed busier these days, returning home later and later.

Sometimes, to wait for him, she would deliberately stay in the kitchen a little longer.

When Jared come home, she would always cheerfully bring a bowl of freshly cooked soup to his study However, Agnes noticed that Jared never had it.

The next morning, the soup was still on the desk in the study.

Agnes was a bit disappointed, but she also knew Jared was picky about food Maybe her cooking skills weren't good enough, so she put even more effort into cooking.
