Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 924

Lately, Agnes had been cooped up in the sterile confines of the Thomas Group Hospital.

Ramona and Ben had returned to Willowbrook Town. They'd been sifting through the rubble of information, sending out snippets to the local news stations.

Their coverage of the earthquake had struck a nerve, resonating deeply with viewers far and wide. The raw footage and documentaries they released had moved hearts, stirring the nation into action.

A tide of volunteers from across the country had descended upon the small community of Bronzetown Borough. Spontaneous fundraisers popped up like daisies in spring, and the TV stations had dedicated a special segment to the ongoing situation in the quake-stricken borough.

Charitable organizations, too, had shifted into high gear, providing aid to the injured and the orphans left in the disaster's wake. Despite all this, Agnes couldn't shake her concern for Yara.

Ben had called to tell her that Yara was now in the care of a local foster home, and once the dust settled, they'd find a loving family to adopt her.

"Agnes, you gotta look after yourself," Ben had said, his voice a blend of concern and firmness. "You've been through the wringer, what with that concussion and all. Mr. Judson sent me to tell you to take a break—two weeks off, no work talk, just rest up, okay?"

Agnes was exhausted.

Her body and mind were teetering on the brink, and she spent what seemed like an eternity just sleeping it off.

Ryder had come out of surgery. Agnes had checked in with the chief surgeon, who'd painted a grim picture.
