Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 901

When Dr. Hanson walked out, Agnes rushed over and said, "How's Esther doing?"

He replied, "She's out of danger now. No need to worry."

With a hint of red in her eyes, Agnes said, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea she had this condition. I shouldn't have given her the chocolate so carelessly."

Dr. Hanson sighed, "It's not your fault. The girl can't control herself and outsiders can't stop her. Ever since she was little, I've tried to instill in her that she can't have sweets. But the more I did, the more she wanted them. Isn't that just human nature? The forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest. This incident has been a harsh lesson for her. She's learned the hard way what's good for her and what's off-limits."

Agnes felt an indescribable mix of emotions. She just felt terribly sorry for Esther.

But Dr. Hanson ended up comforting her instead. He added with regret, "It's a shame Esther's father only comes to see her once a year, and he always takes her out for a few days of fun. He's due in a couple of days, but with Esther in this condition, she obviously can't go anywhere."

Agnes felt even more guilty. She said, "Sir, I would like to meet Esther's father and apologize to him in person."

After that, Agnes stayed at the herbal clinic to take care of Esther.

She made a makeshift bed on the floor.

Esther was already much better.

Agnes found the chocolate she had left over and told Esther that she could never eat it again.

But Esther just started crying, "But candy tastes so good."

Agnes felt so bad for Esther.

Because of her condition, her diet had to be strictly controlled, and she spent years taking herbal remedies. No wonder her parents left her here.

Esther, though, was the joy of the place, everyone's little darling. Everyone doted on her.

Two days passed.

Agnes thought Esther's dad would show up, ready to offer her sincere apologies.
