Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1088

Honestly, the whole mess started because Jarvis wouldn't let it go, pushing so hard that the higher-ups felt threatened. So, they quickly stripped him of his position.

It's a tough world out there, hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.

Even the police force, which is supposed to symbolize justice, has its share of rot deep in its bones.

Jared Whitfield spoke up, "Let it go, Agnes. The matter's closed, and they've backed off. Whether Berlin Thomas was just a scapegoat or not, he's getting what he deserves. Let's not stir the pot anymore. I don't want you getting hurt."

Agnes Pritchard knew what Jared meant.

The issue was vast and complex.

And if the higher-ups involved were from Albert's Arms, that meant they were people she knew.

The enemy was hidden, while they were exposed.

If she kept digging, the other side might very well strike back hard, just like what happened to Ryder Whitfield.

Agnes replied, "I understand."

Soon, they arrived at Hope Hospital.

Ryder had already been moved out of the ICU.

Many of the tubes had been removed.

He lay there, looking as if he were just asleep.

No one knew when he would wake up, or if he ever would.

These days, Alyssa Whitfield had been practically living at the hospital.

But today, when Agnes and Jared visited, Alyssa wasn't there, nor was Ryder.

After asking around, they learned Ryder had been transferred to the Capital Prestige Medical Center.

Prestige Medical Center was a top-tier hospital, especially renowned for its cutting-edge neurology research.
