Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 896

All the explanations seemed superfluous now.

The disappointment over the whole Berlin debacle had escalated to the point where they were talking

about taking a break, getting some space.

Jared couldn’t care less about space.

To him, it was just an excuse—Agnes' excuse for wanting out of the relationship.

But he couldn't let her slip away without a reason, not like this. No way!

They were at a stalemate when a faint voice from the bed cut through their standoff, "Dad, Mom, I don't

feel so good."

Agnes and Jared turned simultaneously.

Their son, Nocturne, had woken up.

Agnes hurriedly let go of Jared and rushed to the bedside. Gently stroking Nocturne's forehead, she

asked, "What's wrong, sweetie? Tell me where it hurts."

Jared moved closer as well.

"I'm just... tired of lying here, Mom. Can we leave the hospital? I want to go eat sushi, I crave Eel with

rice."

It was the first time since his hospitalization that Nocturne had expressed a wish to eat anything.

This made Agnes' heart swell with happiness.

"Of course, we can go for sushi. Let's do it now," she promised.

"Dad's coming too, right?" Nocturne looked towards Jared.

"Sure thing, buddy. I'll drive us there," Jared replied.

And so, the three of them ended up at the sushi restaurant together.

Once they parked, Jared lifted Nocturne out of the car. The boy was weak, resting his head on Jared's

shoulder, while Agnes followed with concern in her eyes.

Seeing Nocturne like this, Agnes knew he couldn't possibly have an appetite. His request to eat out

was probably his way of diffusing the heated argument they'd been having when he woke up.

Agnes just felt that after lying in a hospital bed for so long, it would do Nocturne good to get some fresh

air.

the sushi house was bustling, but they managed to find a cozy spot by the window.

As Jared held Nocturne, Agnes began to order, choosing all of Nocturne's old favorites.

Trying to muster some energy, Nocturne said, "Mom, I've been having this dream over the past few

days."

With a soft voice, Agnes inquired, "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt I had a little sister. She was so cute, with eyes like bright stars in the night sky."

Holding Nocturne, Jared asked, "Summer, what are you trying to say?"

With complete seriousness, Nocturne said, "Dad, Mom, can you give me a little sister? I want one."

Agnes was taken aback, "Nocturne, why this sudden request?" Reаd at Dramanovеls.com

"Why a sister?" Agnes couldn't hide her curiosity. Nocturne was never impulsive.

Agnes understood instantly. The argument with Jared must have made Nocturne feel responsible.
