Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 990

She had to say those words, but the agony in her heart was a burden she bore alone.

In this world, the last people she ever wanted to hurt were Jared and Ryder.

Yet, she had managed to tear both of them apart.

In the past, maybe she had been too indecisive.

Perhaps she had unwittingly given Ryder hope.

Ryder's current state was a sharp knife twisting in Agnes's heart.

They shared so many memories, and Ryder had been her knight in shining armor time and again.

And then there was Nocturne's illness.

If there was anyone Agnes owed her life to, it was Ryder.

But she, step by step, had pushed him to the brink of no return.

To a point where she barely recognized him.

That's why she had to cut ties, to shatter his hope once and for all.

It hurt like hell.

But Agnes knew Ryder was in even more pain.

I'm sorry, so sorry!

She repeated the words over and over in her mind.

She could think of no other way.

If he continued on this path of self-destruction, Agnes feared what he might do.

She dreaded the thought of Ryder becoming another Alyssa Whitfield.

After leaving, Agnes rushed to find her assistant, Wang, and urged him to take Ryder to the hospital.

Wang hurried into the CEO's office only to hear the sound of something shattering.

Agnes's heart ached.

In the end, Ryder was taken to the hospital.

Agnes waited outside Tim Tower, not breathing easy until she saw Ryder's car head to the hospital.
