Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1279

Agnes couldn’t believe it.

Her head was pounding like a drum.

She clutched her temples, "It hurts so much..."

Elton rushed to her side, his voice filled with concern. "You need to lie down and rest for a bit, Agnes. Don't think about it too much. It's all in the past now. That was five years ago. You're doing great now, and we're happy. We're going to get married soon, remember? You're going to be my bride, and I promise to take care of you forever."

The pain was relentless, so much so that a doctor had to come in and administer a painkiller.

After a while, the throbbing in her head began to ease.

Whether it was the medication or something else, Agnes started to feel calmer.

But sleep did not come.

Her mind felt clearer, like the fog was lifting.

Agnes tried hard to remember.

Yet, eight years of her life remained a blank slate, not a single memory stirred.

Whenever she tried to force a recollection, her head felt like it would explode.

It dawned on Agnes that she truly had lost her memory.

And forgotten many important things.

She lay on the hospital bed.

Staring quietly at the ceiling.

Tears silently streamed down her face.

It was hard to accept that Preston was gone.

And that Laura had been the cause.

The woman who had shared his bed for years.

Even though Elton said this happened five years ago.

To Agnes, who had suddenly lost her memory, it was fresh, devastating news.

She remembered the night before her birthday, Preston was so excited, promising a mysterious gift.

He said he'd give it to her on her birthday.

But Agnes' memory stopped at the moment she was pushed into the pool by Beatrice on that day.

Her father's gift was never given.
