Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1114

Lately, everyone's been talking about the major turnaround in Naylor's life.

Naylor quit his job at the motorsports club. It seems like Reggie's brush with death, trying to save him, really got under his skin. He ditched his beloved racing career to start learning the ropes of business from Kearney, aiming to make a name for himself at the Albert's Arms, a prominent establishment.

The Albert's Arms had taken a huge hit recently, losing seven of its key members in a tragic incident. With many of its associated groups now leaderless, Kearney took it upon himself to unify these groups, centralizing power but also piling on the responsibilities. So, having Naylor around to help was a godsend to him.

Although Kearney also reached out to Elton, he turned down the offer. Apart from personal reasons, he didn't have much of a connection to Albert's Arms. Elton left a day earlier. He just said goodbye to his godfather, leaving everyone else in the dark about his whereabouts.

Nate went back too. After facing a life-and-death ordeal, Nate became even more withdrawn, rarely speaking, blending into the background like a ghost. Agnes, worried, wanted Nate to come back with them to Willowbrook Town. But Nate insisted on staying in the Capital. Agnes didn't push it, simply leaving him a key to their house, telling him he's welcome anytime he needs a change of scenery.

Alyssa approached Ryder, whispering, "Ryder, Jared and Agnes are here to see you." There was no response. Alyssa was accustomed to the disappointment, having felt it many times before. Due to the sterile environment, they couldn't stay long, only five minutes before leaving the room. Alyssa followed them out.

Seeing Alyssa's expression, Jared couldn't help but feel sorrowful. Jared said, "Ryder will wake up one day." Alyssa smiled, "I believe he will too. But even if he doesn't, it's okay. I've neglected him too much when he was younger. His extreme personality, it's my fault as his mother. Now, all I want is to take care of him."
