Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 518

Chapter 518

At night, Alyssa decided to pay Jared’s room a visit.

But she didn’t expect to find Jared sleeping in his bed.

The room was pitch–black, with the curtains tightly drawn over the floor–to–ceiling windows.

Alyssa had no idea when Jared picked up this habit.

Now, whenever he was having an emotional meltdown, he’d either bury himself in work or sleep all day. He had quit smoking and drinking.

That’s because he once had a bleeding stomach from drinking and a bout of pneumonía from smoking. Alyssa felt heartbroken. She wished she could take on all the pain herself.

But she couldn’t help him. She had caused all this.

Her mistakes when she was young had finally caught up with her, but Jared was the one paying the price. Alyssa switched on the light.

When Alyssa turned on the light, he used the blanket to cover his eyes.

Alyssa still saw it.
