Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 450

Agnes just couldn't bear to stay with him.

She whispered, "Can you find your own way home? You've had a few drinks, don't drive yourself. Get a designated driver or call your secretary. I need to go see my dad."

With that, Agnes turned and walked away.

Jared had planned to spend the night with Agnes, looking after Preston.

But as he watched Agnes walk away, he'd never felt so lost.

Earlier in the evening, Mamie had casually mentioned that Agnes might be pregnant.

To him, it was like seeing an oasis in the middle of a desert. A glimmer of hope.

If Agnes was pregnant, maybe things would change. Maybe she wouldn't be so determined to leave him, to abandon him.

Even if it was for the sake of the baby, maybe she'd stay.

He was willing to do anything, even spend his whole life making up for the pain he caused her, just to have her stay.

But in the end, it was all just wishful thinking.

Nobody could understand the depth of his disappointment, which was more like despair.

Jared admitted to himself, he was head over heels in love with her.

He couldn't imagine a life without her. Why was she becoming more and more determined to leave? What was he supposed to do?

Agnes went to Preston's hospital room.

He was still lying there, breathing evenly.

The doctors said the chances of him regaining consciousness were slim.

But as long as his vital signs were stable, Agnes felt comforted.

The room was very quiet.

This made Agnes start to worry.

More importantly, Agnes clearly remembered one time in S City when they hadn't used protection...

Whether or not she was actually pregnant, Agnes couldn't take the risk, so she asked Kerri to switch the blood samples.

After a while, Kerri sent a message, "I've sent your blood sample to a grad student at the school for testing, we'll have the results tomorrow."

Agnes didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Kerri invited Agnes to the school. This was to avoid the gossip at the hospital.

The university lab was empty except for Kerri.

Agnes walked in.

With a serious face, Kerri said, "Agnes, you're pregnant. According to the test results, you're probably about two months along."
