Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 488

During the piecing together, Jared had a hunch. But when he saw the full ultrasound report, saw the little life inside that picture, his hands were uncontrollably shaking.

Agnes was pregnant, for real. This was their child. In that moment, he felt like bawling his eyes out.

From a young age, Jared always seemed older than his years to others. He was like a lofty figure, observing the crowd with profound eyes. His emotions weren't as intense as others. There seemed to be very few things in the world that could excite, shock, or hurt him. He thought he was in for a dull ride in life.

But then, Jared met Agnes. He found out that life could be vibrant. He could laugh heartily and be full of anticipation. Then he discovered that when in pain, sleepless nights would follow, and when disappointed, it felt like a stab in the heart. When he lost Agnes, his heart ached to the point he couldn't breathe.

Agnes brought him joy but also endless pain.

At that time, he hadn't realized that he would lose her completely.

Holding that ultrasound report, he was laughing through his tears. He felt like he was crazy. With this child, his heart was filled with joy. He'd never been this happy before.

This was a new life, his and Agnes' child. His excitement nearly drove him mad. For this child, he could throw caution to the wind. Or rather, he finally found a reason to do so.

He had never experienced that feeling in his life, that euphoria that felt like being on cloud nine.

He was just waiting to find Agnes, waiting to start a new chapter, waiting for everything to start anew.

But after that night, Agnes vanished into thin air. She was gone without a trace.
