Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 323

Agnes felt like shocked.

It was as if she had been shoved into an icy lake, her whole body shivering.

Her grandma's words meant that her mom had committed suicide, falling into deep despair after discovering her dad's affair.

Then, what did all of Preston's care and tenderness towards her mother when she was hospitalized mean?

Was it all just a show for her?

If so, Agnes felt like the last bit of warmth left between her parents had disappeared.

Agnes even forgot how she got home. When Agnes walked into the yard, Jared had just finished cleaning up and was washing his hands by the well.

Seeing Agnes return, he approached her and asked curiously, "Did your grandmother mention me?"

But Agnes seemed to be lost, walking into the house like a robot, as if she hadn't heard Jared's words at all.

Jared immediately sensed that something was off.

After entering the house, Agnes hid under the covers and started crying.

The news had hit Agnes hard, and she felt like something inside her had been destroyed.

Her mom had committed suicide. If her mom really did commit suicide, then it was her dad's fault.

Agnes felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

She could forgive Preston for his years of infidelity and even for having another daughter.

But she couldn't forgive his betrayal that led to her mother's suicide.

In Agnes's memory, her mother was such a gentle person. How could he bear to hurt her?

What had she gone through to choose to leave this world? Agnes couldn't even begin to imagine.
