Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 241

Agnes made a beeline for the lounge.

The lounge door was wide open, with only Jared and Alyssa inside.

Without hesitation, Agnes walked in and called, “Alyssa.”

Alyssa looked up. As her gaze fell on Agnes’s face, Alyssa felt a momentary blur in her vision.

There was something about Agnes’s appearance that had struck her as odd the first time they met.

Yet, she couldn’t fathom why she hadn’t given it more thought back then. Agnes resembled Julia so much that it had been impossible for Alyssa to ignore.

Concerned about Alyssa’s injury, Agnes approached her and asked. “You okay, girl? I heard you got hurt. Where did you get banged up?” Observing Alyssa’s hand wrapped in gauze, Agnes reached out to check on it, but to her surprise, Alyssa pulled her hand away and responded distantly. “I’m fine.”

Feeling a bit awkward, Agnes straightened up and withdrew her hand, glancing briefly at Jared, who seemed to wear a slight frown. Just then, Ryder walked into the

Seeing Ryder seemed to make Agnes nervous.

She didn’t even dare to meet Ryder’s eyes, just kept her head down, pretending she hadn’t seen him.
