Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1227

Agnes was holding back her frustration as she spoke. She understood that Starla was Jenny's daughter, and it wasn't her place to dictate what the child should eat. However, with Starla right there in front of her, Agnes couldn't just stand by and watch, fearing that her silence might lead Starla into another dangerous episode.

Jenny laughed with a touch of sarcasm, "Agnes, you seem to know my daughter better than I do. She's been having sweet and sour pork ribs every night this week and she's fine, isn't she? Don't you think I know what's best for my own child?"

Under the care of the old doctor, Starla's condition had indeed improved somewhat. But that didn't mean she could eat whatever she wanted like everyone else. Dietary control was crucial for her prevention. Even though Starla seemed alright for now, by the time something actually happened, it would be too late. Jenny's stubborn demeanor left Agnes at a loss for words.

It was Starla who broke the tension. Sensing the souring atmosphere, she quietly moved her sweet and sour pork ribs from her plate to a side dish. "Mom, Agnes, please don't fight. I won't eat the pork ribs anymore. Master said I shouldn't have sweets, so I'll just stop," Starla said.

Agnes breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for Starla's understanding. Jenny, visibly upset, kept her silence in front of Elton. Agnes quickly finished her meal. In truth, she hardly ate anything at all. Even though it was a dish she used to love, it just didn't taste the same anymore.
