Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 797

Many people consider depression to be merely a psychological disorder. But Agnes knew that depression was far more scary.

It was a physiological disease, one that needed intervention through medication.

The victims of this disease often lose faith and hope in the world, leading them to consider suicide over and over again. It was a terrifying reality.

Agnes always believed that hope was the driving force of humanity.

Jared continued, "After all, this all started because of me. If I had been more careful that day, none of this would have happened. Over the years, I've been trying to make up for my mistakes, paying no mind to the rumors about me. I didn't want to clarify anything because that would only hurt Sharon even more. But Agnes, I care about you and how you feel, so I need to tell you about this."

Agnes felt complicated and somewhat guilty. Was she to blame?

After hearing all of this, Agnes couldn't help but feel sympathy for Sharon.

Agnes reached out and held Jared's hand. "It's okay, I understand. There's nothing wrong with you taking care of her. I believe in you, and I'll be beside you, treating her like a little sister."

Jared said, "Winning the award was her dream, and she's finally achieved it. She told me earlier that she's planning to go to Chicago to study. We might not see each other much in the future, so that hug was simply a goodbye."

Even though Agnes had shown understanding, Jared still felt the need to explain in detail.

Agnes admitted that she felt much better after hearing his explanations.

Sometimes, a woman knew she was being unreasonable. But what she needed was a man's firm stance on the matter.

Agnes didn't even understand why she was so upset before. But one thing was for certain. She had fallen hard for Jared, again. Otherwise, she wouldn't care so much.

Agnes continued to eat her cake. After finishing the cake, she closed her laptop and stood up. "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Home."

Jared asked, "Didn't you say you had work until midnight?"

Agnes raised an eyebrow and asked, "You actually believed a woman's words?"

With that, Agnes picked up her bag and left.

Jared smiled and followed her out.

They both left the office and exited the TV station.

During this time, Yolanda, who had been standing by the office door, slipped into the hallway to avoid being seen. She had heard every word Jared said to Agnes.

Yolanda never thought that Jared, who hadn't even attended the after-party, had come here to explain things to Agnes.

The rumors about Sharon's sugar daddy being Jared were actually true. What shocked Yolanda even more was that Agnes and Jared were indeed back together. They might have even remarried.

Yolanda clenched her fists.

Agnes was still playing her old tricks.

Secret marriage? She must be feeling smug, sitting in Mrs. Whitfield's spot and watching other women covet it, all while playing innocence, enjoying the thrill of looking down on others from her high position. No wonder Jared had come to the TV station before and treated everyone in the News Department to dinner. Agnes had played her part so well, referring to him as Mr. Whitfield. Did she view this as a form of flirtation?
