Heartstrings On Fire ( Jared and Anita )
Chapter 207

Chapter 207

The show was very successful.

You could tell from the continuous applause.

During intermission, Agnes was backstage, peering out at the audience.

She was looking for Jared.

But it was a sea of people below the stage, and with the dim lighting, Agnes couldn’t see clearly.

The final act of Agnes’s performance began.

It was Juliet’s love suicide scene.

The plot was extremely tragic.

Tears streaming down her face, Juliet said, “What is this? A cup held tight in my true love’s hand? I know, it must be poison that has ended his life. Alas! You drank all the poison, leaving none for me? I’ll kiss your lips, perhaps there’s some poison left on them, enough to kill me. Your lips are still warm!”

At this point, a commotion broke out, Juliet stabbed herself with a dagger and fell from the high platform…

The place she fell was only about a meter high, and there were stairs made up of props.

Even though it was just a meter, there was a cushion where she landed, so Agnes wouldn’t get hurt.

There were flower and plant props to cover it up.

The ending was Juliet and Romeo dying together.

So, after Agnes fell, she had to lie there motionless on the cushion until the show ended and the curtain came down….

A voiceover came on: The families of Romeo and Juliet were heartbroken over the lovers‘ suicide. In regret, the two families reached a tragic reconciliation…”

Lying there motionless, Agnes couldn’t help but wonder if Jared had come today.

But suddenly, the stage lights began to flicker, going bright and dim.

The next second, a scaffold on the side of the stage suddenly fell, tipping towards Agnes.

There was a sudden scream of terror from below the stage

Agnes was deep in thought and didn’t react in time.

The next second, Ryder, who was backstage, rushed up.

He threw himself over Agnes.

There was a muffled groan of pain.

The scaffold landed right on Ryder’s back!!

Tranquil Care Hospital

Agnes and Jared were both standing outside the emergency room.

Agnes was sitting on a chair.

Just thinking about what just happened made her body shake uncontrollably.

If Ryder hadn’t rushed up without hesitation, using his body to protect her, she would be the one lying in the hospital.

But Agnes didn’t know what was happening now.

Jared was standing at the door of the emergency room.

Agnes looked up and saw his back.

Turns out, Jared came to watch their performance and he was really close.

After the accident, Jared was the first one to rush up on stage and take Ryder to the hospital.

If it weren’t for his calm and decisive action, Agnes didn’t know what would’ve happened.

Jared walked over to Agnes, holding her trembling hands: “Don’t worry too much. He should be fine.”

Agnes looked at Jared “But I’m still scared.”

Jared comforted her “Don’t be scared, I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to him.”

Just then, the door of the emergency room opened.

The doctor walked out, surrounded by a group of nurses.

Agnes immediately stood up, ran over, and asked anxiously, ‘Dr. Elisha, how is Ryder doing now?”
