Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1185

Although these thoughts plagued his mind, Elton couldn't help but wonder, if only he hadn't been so foolish back then, would Agnes be in his arms now...

"Mr. Taylor," Jared caught Elton zoning out at the doorway and couldn't help but call out to him.

Snapping back to reality, Elton regained his composure.

"Gentlemen, Godfather is waiting in the study to discuss some matters with you," Elton informed them.

"We'll be right there," Agnes responded, though his tone carried a hint of worry.

Without another word, Elton turned and left.

Agnes looked especially concerned as he spoke, "Godfather must want to talk about the Kearney and Phenix situation. It's quite a predicament we're in now."

Indeed, it was a difficult position to be in.

Kearney's actions were unforgivable, yet Phenix now saw him as Sean.

Dealing with Kearney would be like losing Phenix all over again.

And Phenix had already been through the pain of losing Sean once.

Reggie, no doubt, would find it hard to be merciless.

But regardless of Kearney's reasons, his guilt in Sean's death was undeniable.

Naylor had always been the carefree spirit among them. For years, Albert's Arms was his sanctuary, a place where he felt surrounded by brothers and sisters, a beacon of hope in the world. But since their brother's death, it felt as if everything had changed. Their haven had turned into a hellish nightmare, and the warmth of their home had been replaced by a suffocating darkness.

Elton stood silently to the side as Reggie finally turned to face them. Though his demeanor appeared as calm and collected as ever, a closer look revealed the redness in his eyes, betraying his inner turmoil.

"Godfather, what should we do now?" Naylor asked, breaking the heavy silence.

"I'd like to hear your thoughts on how we should deal with the situation concerning our second brother," Reggie said calmly.

Naylor was the first to speak, "I never imagined our brother could do such monstrous things... But Godfather, he was misled. It's as if fate's playing a cruel joke on us. We've already lost our elder brother; perhaps we should give our second brother a chance at redemption."

In the end, Naylor's compassion shone through.
