Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1115

Jared and Agnes had only been at the Thomas Mansion for a short while. Alyssa had invited them to stay for dinner, but Jared declined. They mentioned they had to return to Serenity Hall to check on Noc that evening. Alyssa didn't push further.

However, just as Agnes and Jared were about to leave, Alyssa pulled Agnes aside, away from Jared, and asked, "How's your godfather doing?"

Agnes paused for a moment, slightly taken aback. The incident that day had been officially labeled as a terrorist attack by the police, with the people involved being members of Albert's Arms—a name that, to the public eye, was synonymous with controversy and dual identities. To prevent public unrest and thanks to Kearney's negotiations, the media hadn't caught wind of the event. Thus, the majority of the Capital's citizens were oblivious to what had transpired. Agnes was puzzled about how Alyssa had come to know of it.

"My godfather was shot three times, but thankfully, nothing vital was hit. He's been discharged from the hospital and will be resting for a while," Agnes informed.

Alyssa visibly relaxed upon hearing this. "Agnes, Albert's Arms is no safe haven. Stay away from there, and make sure Jared does the same. Don't hold any illusions about that place," Alyssa advised, her tone a mixture of bitterness and guilt.
