Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1146

Agnes broke the silence, saying, “Godfather, why don’t you come and stay with me for a while? It’s not good for you to be cooped up here all by yourself. How about I take you to Serenity Hall for a bit? Dr. Smith can check you out, maybe prescribe some herbal supplements to get you back on track.”

Though Reggie’s health seemed mostly recovered, he couldn’t shake a persistent cough that always lingered. It was nonstop. But he didn’t seem too concerned about it, which worried Agnes deeply.

Reggie responded, “I’m past my prime, better to just stay put.”

Agnes persisted, “Nocturne Pritchard is over there, godfather. Don’t you want to see Nocturne?”

Kearney joined in, “Godfather, why not visit Nocturne? Think of it as a little getaway. You don’t have to worry about Phenix, I promise to take good care of her.”

Perhaps it was the mention of Nocturne that finally swayed Reggie.

Agnes had initially wanted to bring Phenix along too. But Phenix didn’t want to go, and Agnes figured it might seem too forced. Besides, Agnes knew that if it came down to it, Kearney would never hurt Phenix, even if it meant harming others.
