Chapter 929


    To be honest, ever since she left Bronzetown Borough, Agnes'' thoughts would often drift back to Nocturne. But because of


    Ryder, she had been holding back.


    Ryder had been discharged and was now back home, with the nannies from Whitfield Manor looking after him.


    After spending the night at Pritchard Mansion, Agnes had promptly booked a flight to the Capital.


    Due to a dyed flight, it wasn''t until the evening that Agnes finally arrived at Serenity Hall.


    She waspletely in the dark about Nocturne''s condition.


    Although he was undergoing some alternative medical treatments, the old doctor had said it would take at least six months


    before any significant improvement could be seen.


    Most of the time, Nocturne was still in a deep slumber.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Agnes walked into Serenity Hall.


    The staff there mostly recognized her and knew she was there to see the boy. They let her straight through to the backyard.


    Mr. Hanson was in the backyard, tending to his herbs when Agnes greeted him.


    Seeing Agnes, he said, “Ms. Pritchard, it''s been quite some time since yourst visit.”


    Agnes hastily replied, “Please, just call me Agnes. How are Nocturne and Esther?”


    “They''re both in the room. Nocturne is still asleep, and Mr. Whitfield has been by his side the whole time,” Mr. Hanson informed


    her.


    Astrange feeling stirred in Agnes'' heart.


    Mr. Whitfield? Something clicked, but she wasn''t quite sure what it was.


    Entering the room, Agnes saw a familiar tall silhouette. Her heart confirmed her guess.


    It was indeed Jared.


    After returning to the city, she had visited Whitfield Manor. Alyssa had mentioned Jared had left thepany abruptly and no


    one knew where he went.


    Jared had been running thepany for a long time and had never acted so impulsively.


    Agnes hadn''t thought much of it at the time, assuming Jared had just gone off to clear his head.


    But she never suspected he would be here, of all ces.


    “Jared,” Agnes called out.


    Jared turned at the sound of her voice, his frame stiffening upon seeing her.


    For a moment, his eyes seemed to swirl with emotion, but almost instantly, calmness returned.


    In a voice devoid of warmth, Jared said, “You''re here to see Nocturne?”


    Agnes nodded and stepped inside. Approaching the bed where Nocturney sleeping, she saw Esther ying with her toys


    nearby.


    The child''s face lit up at the sight of Agnes, “Prettydy, you''re here! I''ve missed you!”


    Esther had once run a high fever after indulging in too much candy, and Agnes had stayed by her side for days and nights


    without rest.


    Since then, Esther had grown particrly fond of Agnes, as if developing a special kind of dependence.

    And Agnes had grown quite fond of Esther too. The child''s eyes were incredibly captivating, like glittering gems.

    Without hesitation, Agnes scooped Esther into her arms, “I''ve missed you too, sweetheart. Have you been a good girl?”


    “I''ve been really good, always staying by Nocturne''s side,” Esther replied with a smile that could brighten the darkest room.
