Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 699

Agnes had a brief overnight stay in the hospital.

Beatrice, on the other hand, had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

The kidnapping of Agnes by Hammer had caused a major tunnel accident and was widely reported. Seven cars had collided in the tunnel, causing a six-hour traffic jam. Fortunately, due to the slow speed in the tunnel, no casualties were reported.

Nevertheless, Agnes stumbled upon a video clip on the internet.

The video showed Jared and Hammer driving towards each other at a breakneck speed, narrowly avoiding a collision.

The tunnel exit had been blocked by a police car at the time.

Hammer had no choice but to drive in the opposite direction, and Jared was waiting at the other end of the tunnel exit.

If Jared had moved out of the way, Hammer would have left the tunnel, taken an exit ramp, and probably disappeared, making him difficult to catch.

So, Jared risked his life to stop Hammer.

The final distance between the two cars was a matter of split seconds.

If Hammer had been ruthless, it would have been a mutual destruction.

Agnes watched the last moment over and over again.

She felt a chill down her spine, as if she had seen the Grim Reaper in that split second.

Agnes had fainted in the car at the time. Although she had experienced this thrilling scene, it was completely different from facing it directly like Jared. What was Jared feeling at that moment?

He risked his life for her.

Agnes couldn't quite put her feelings into words. It was a mix of shock, emotion, and sorrow.

Agnes returned to Eden Nights.

She didn't expect that Phenix had fallen ill during these days.

She caught chickenpox and had been running a high fever.

Agnes wanted to visit her but Phenix was worried about Agnes catching it since she never had chickenpox, so she didn't see Agnes.

However, Kearney was coming back to town at noon and asked Agnes to pick him up from the airport.

Agnes successfully picked up Kearney.

When Kearney found out that Phenix was ill, he rushed to her room.

Like Agnes, Kearney also never had chickenpox and there was a high chance he could catch it, but he didn't care and broke down the door to get in.

Phenix was in a serious condition, and she was constantly on an IV drip.

Her body was covered in transparent blisters, causing unbearable pain and itchiness.

Seeing Kearney and Agnes barge in, she scolded, "What are you doing here? My condition is severe, get out! Agnes, don't stay here these days, several girls at Eden Nights have gotten chickenpox. Move out for a few days, I can't take care of you."

Agnes responded, "Phenix, I am not that susceptible, don't worry about me. You should focus on your recovery."

Kearney walked over to Phenix, grabbed her hand and said, "Let me see, how did you get this sick? Is the doctor at Eden Nights good enough? You should be in the hospital."

Phenix pulled her hand back, "The doctors here are top-notch, they are better than the directors of some hospitals. Now stop worrying about me. About that thing you mentioned last time, I'm afraid I can't go with you. Just pick another girl from Eden Nights."

Kearney replied, "Don't worry about that, I'll figure something out. You should take care of yourself."

"Alright Kearney, I get it. You're usually so tight-lipped, why are you so talkative now?"

"I'm worried about you. I... promised big brother to take good care of you."

"I told you I'm fine, just go. I can't bear the responsibility if I cause you trouble. Don't you have to go to France tomorrow for some count's banquet?"
