Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 420

What's the deal between Jared and Dr. Ryder?

Everyone at the hospital got it.

Dr. Ryder was the only descendant of the third generation of the Whitfield family.

He was the grandson of Tim Whitfield.

Jared was Dr. Ryder's uncle, and that chick was Ryder's aunt.

It seemed like everyone got the wrong end of the stick yesterday.

However, if Jared was Dr. Ryder's uncle, why did Dr. Ryder sound so icy when he talked to him, even calling him Mr. Whitfield?

It got everyone's head spinning.

Jared cast a glance at the doctors and nurses at the door, furrowed his brows a little, then let go of Agnes.

And then came another bunch of people, with Ryder in the mix.

Agnes was also getting a headache.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with her. There was no need for her to stay in the hospital.

She was planning to check out that day.

Her attending physician, Dr. Porras, came to check on Agnes, asked a few routine questions. Then he said, "Ms. Pritchard, if you want to check out, you can do that anytime."

After a while, the doctors and nurses all left.

But Ryder didn't leave.

Jared looked pissed and said, "What do you want?"

"I just heard you guys mention my name," Ryder responded promptly.

The room fell eerily silent.

Agnes was also looking down in the dumps.

Did Ryder hear her conversation with Jared?

He probably thought that a hug one night, or a few words caused the emotional conflict between them.

But in reality, it was much more complicated than that.

Jared didn't say much more.

He just told Agnes, "I'll go handle your discharge."

Agnes replied, "No need, I can do it myself."

Agnes coldly refused, "You can go now. The divorce papers are ready. I'll send them over for you to sign. Jared, you have no other choice. As long as you agree to the divorce, I promise not to drag Ryder into this mess."

Agnes took care of the discharge procedures on her own. Brayden Simonds and Kerri Bradford came to pick her up.

Ironically, Brayden picked up Agnes right in front of Jared. Then they went to Maplewood Manor.

Jared also returned to Maplewood Manor.

The two cars drove one after the other until they reached the entrance of the neighborhood before going their separate ways.
