After Agnes took off, her legs were still shaking like she just had a tough fight.
All these years, only when facing Jared, did Agnes feel so weak and scared.
But still, she managed to stand her ground in front of him.
Jared had changed, he was no longer the Jared with a cold exterior but a warm heart.
Now, he was as hard and cold inside as he was outside.
Agnes didn’t know how to face him anymore.
Actually, she didn’t need to show up at all.
She was totally capable of finding her grandma herself.
But, she came anyway.
Agnes didn’t dare to dig deep into her own heart, afraid to admit the truth she saw.
Afraid that she simply wanted to see him.
However, seeing Jared again, only made her more desperate.
Jared was always hung up on the kid issue, so she could never let Jared know about Nocturne.
Now, all she could do was to finish things up as soon as possible, and disappear from his sight.
Only then, could Agnes feel at ease.
After Agnes left, she immediately called Nate in Manhattan.
Nate said, “This is no biggie, give me half an hour.”
Sure enough, half an hour later, Nate found where Agnes' grandma was.
Agnes didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.
