Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 298

Probably due to his military upbringing, Ethan was always a stickler for principles.

"Ethan." Ines tugged gently at his face. Ethan gripped her hand tightly, looking into her eyes, "Izzy. I Know you trust me. But your parents trusted each other too much too, leaving many things unsaid, which led to unexpected events that they couldn't handle. We should avoid such situations. Even though we trust each other, we must communicate in time to understand what's going on in each other's minds.”

Hearing him mention her late parents, Ines felt a pang of sadness, but agreed with his view. She chuckled lightly, "Alright. from now on. If I have any doubts, besides trusting you, I'll turn to you for answers. If you can't clear things up. you'll be sleeping on the floor."

Despite all couples having their arguments, they, almost a year into their marriage, rarely bickered.

Now, she understood why they rarely fought. Because Ethan always communicated with her in time whenever a problem arose and kept reminding her. How could they have major fights with such communication?

Ethan broke into a smile, "Alright, it's settled then."

As they left the bedroom hand in hand, Camela, accustomed to their display, smiled and prepared breakfast. Just as they were about to head for work after breakfast, Ethan’s phone rang. He glanced at it and answered, "Hello, Silvia.”

Hearing Silvia's name, Ines paused slightly, looking up at Ethan.

Her pained voice came through the phone after a while, "Ethan, I fell down the stairs. I called Lucas, but he's not in A City. I think you sent him on a business trip."

"What happened? ls it serious?” Ethan frowned. "I overslept, rushed to work and fell. I can’t even stand up now, and there's no one around I know that can help.” Silvia sounded a bit aggrieved. "Stay put, don't move. I'll come right away and take you to the hospital." Ethan said

Ethan hung up after saying this, then told Ines, "Izzy, Silvia fell. I need to go check on her, can't drop you at the company. I'll call the driver to pick you up."

If she didn't know about Silvia's feelings for Ethan. Ines would surely just laugh it off and let him go. But knowing changes things, she wouldn't allow her husband to be alone with a woman with ulterior motives. Ines smiled, "No problem, there's not much going on at the company recently. I'll go with you to see her. Wouldn't feel right otherwise.”

Ines's response made Ethan laugh. He held her hand and said, "Alright, let's go check on her."

When Ethan arrived, Silvia was still sitting on the stairs, apparently quite injured as she couldn't stand up herself. Seeing him, her eyes reddened, looking quite pitiful, "Ethan."

Ethan glanced at her thin high heels, frowning, "Running in these high heels, it would be a surprise if you didn't fall.”

Silvia pouted, but seemed in good spirits, "I was rushing to work. You know I just started and didn't want to be late.”

"Why can't yothwake up a few minutes earlier? Why always get up at the laswminute?’ Ethan was rather stern. Hecouldn't comprehend why women y nowadays like to wearthese thinsbigh heels that looked so" uncomfortable. Content beings to 4

Ines used to do the same before her pregnancy, but she had gotten used to it and managed well. "I just wanted to sleep a little more, getting up in the morning is really hard." Silvia said. Ethan, feeling helpless, supported her arm, asking. "Can you stand up on your own?”

Silvia was about to answer when she noticed Ines standing not far away. Her gaze shifted slightly and her smile was somewhat forced, "Ines, you came too? I'm sorry for bothering you so early.”

Ethan initially let Ines wait in the car, but upon second thought, she decided to come down. Little did she expect to see a flash of surprise and resentment on Silvia's face.

Clearly, she didn't want Ines to come. "Yes, Ethan and I were about to go to work. When we heard what happened to you. I was a bit worried, so we came over to see.” Ines said. "Sorry to trouble you so much." Silvia said.

Ines figured that if Silvia wanted to play, she'd play along. There was no reason for her to lose, "Silvia, don't be so polite."

Then, Ines turned to Ethan, "Ethan, we should hurry and take Silvia to the hospitalWe can't delay. A sprain isa smalhmatter, but if it's serious, ~ it'll be troublesome.” Ethan raisecdan eyebrow. After being together for so longxthey could easily senseeach other's emotions. He felt that Ines was somewhat odd today: her enthusiasm for Silvia was a bit over the top.

“Ethan, what are you thinking about? Let's go." Ines looked at Ethan and smiled.

"Can you walk?" Ethan askedProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"I'll try." Silvia said.

Ethan supported Silvia as she took a step, but her legs gave way the moment she put weight on it.

With no other choice, Ethan had to carry her. Seeing Silvia’s arm around Ethan's neck, Ines felt uncomfortable, a sense of distress grew within her. Silvia seemed excited. This was the first time Ethan had helped her so intimately. His broad back gave her a great sense of security.

Once in the car, Ines naturally sat in the passenger seat, and Ethan occasionally engaged in conversation with her, mainly about their two children. Silvia felt like an outsider, unable to join their conversation.

Ethan took Silvia straight to the hospital where she worked, found a nurse to wheel out a wheelchair, and helped her into the hospital with it. Seeing Ethan do this, the displeasure Ines feltfrom Ethan helping Silvia earlief gradually faded, and she codn't help but smile. She felt that Ethan was indeed considérate enough to avoid causing her dissatisfaction. Otherwise, she would really get angry.
