Chapter 749


    Making the decision wasn''t a spur-of-the-moment thing for Agnes. She had been mulling over the


    matter for days. She and Jared were nning on starting over, and doing so demanded that they be in


    the same city. Jared had too many responsibilities here, and asking him to give up everything was out


    of the question.


    Agnes had been hustling in Manhattan for four years and had finally achieved some small sesses in


    her career. But in this foreignnd, she never truly felt at home. Giving up was hard, but the people she


    loved were all here.


    As for Nocturne''s illness, it had significantly improved ever since he started the new medication. The


    current treatment n was to continue with this medication until something more effective was


    developed. Considering the length of this process and the fact that her grandma’s health condition


    required her constant presence, Agnes decided to give up everything in Manhattan.


    Rather than saying she was giving up, Agnes preferred to see it as making a different choice. The


    following day, she boarded a ne to Manhattan. She had initially nned to take only a two-week


    leave, but she ended up staying in her hometown much longer.


    Agnes'' boss, a nice gentleman named Steve, had been a great help throughout her career. He was a


    respected figure in the journalism industry and a mentor to Agnes. When Agnes resigned, Steve was


    the first to object. However, Agnes was firm about her decision. All Steve could do was bless her.


    Agnes hugged him, "If you evere to visit my city, I''ll make sure to treat you well." She bid farewell


    to her colleagues, and before she knew it, she had finished all her resignation procedures.


    Upon returning to her apartment that night, she found Nate still holed up in her room, seemingly


    tangled up with a hacker. She spent most of her time glued to herputer screen, oblivious to the


    world around her.


    "I''m going back to my hometown, Nate," Agnes said, walking over to her.


    Nate turned around, showed no significant reaction, and merely nodded. She was never sensitive to


    anything outside the world of the inte. She was always ready to help Agnes but never asked


    questions or gossiped.


    Agnes sat next to Nate, "I don’t want to leave you here alone, Nate. Come back with me. I''ll get you a


    more advanced setup."


    This seemed to catch Nate''s interest. "Not now, but maybe in a couple of weeks."

    For Nate, it didn''t really matter where she was. In Manhattan, she spent 99% of her time in her room.


    Her social life was minimal at best. Agnes hade to see Nate as a little sister. It took her a lot of


    effort to get Nate to talk and interact with the outside world.


    Agnes respected her decision, "Alright, I''lle to get you in a couple of weeks."


    It only took three days for Agnes to sort out everything in Manhattan. On thest day, she decided to


    visit Ryder at the Simpson Medical Center. She knew that after leaving the Whitfield Manor, Ryder had


    returned to Manhattan and was probably at the hospital.


    To her surprise, when she arrived, she found the door to Ryder''s private office shut. She inquired with


    his assistant nurse, and that''s when she found out that Ryder had resigned.
