Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 101

Both of them were highly worried at the sight of Ines. They had initially kept the truth from her due to her emotional nature. If she were to know that someone died because of her, the burden would haunt her for life.

However, she did find out the truth in the end.

"Aunt, uncle, do you know? The person who saved me was Ethan's brother." Ines' smile was bitter, filled with pain.

"What?" The two of them raised their voices simultaneously, seeming shocked by the revelation, looking at Ines in disbelief. "I just found out that Ethan has a brother, named Beasley. He was an accomplished soldier, the pride of his grandfather. But he died in a car accident during a mission, and the time and location of his accident were exactly the same as mine. Emma also mentioned she saw his grandmother fainting from grief in the hospital and overheard her conversation with his grandfather."

"How could this be such a coincidence?" Rita was shocked.

Zander's face darkened at the unfortunate coincidence. Accepting someone associated with the death of their own son was too much for any family.

Ines raised her head from resting on Rita's shoulder, striving to maintain an air of composure. "Aunt, uncle, let's refrain from informing Ethan about this matter at the moment. I will find the appropriate opportunity to discuss it with him." However, the more composed Ines seemed, the greater Rita's concern grew. Ines had always been reticent about her troubles, and this silence unsettled Rita deeply.

Rita couldn't help but warn her again, "Izzy, don't do anything rash in your emotional state. It's not easy to find a decent guy like Ethan. Have a good talk with him and listen to what he thinks. Don't make any unilateral decisions about your future, it's unfair to both of you, you know?"

Ines looked up at Rita seriously, "Aunt, if a woman caused the death of one of your sons, could you still accept her as the wife of your other son?"

Ines posed two questions in a row, leaving Rita speechless. She didn't even dare to contemplate such a scenario. It would definitely be impossible to not hold a grudge in such a situation.

Ines had always thought her aunt to be a very open-minded person, but seeing her at a loss for words, she understood that very few people could accept such a situation, "See, you also couldn't accept it."

"Izzy, don't be so hopeless. Maybe the truth isn't as you think."

"Alright, aunt, uncle, I know. I'm a bit tired, I'll go rest in my room."

Ines clearly didn't want to say more, and went straight into her bedroom after speaking. Her room was always kept the same, with very little changes to the decor.

Worried, Rita followed her in, changed her bedding, and watched her lie down and cover herself with the blanket before leaving the room.

As soon as Rita left, Ines broke into tears, all her pretenses gone.

In the living room, Rita and Zander were equally worried, creating a tense atmosphere.

"Sigh, why does Izzy have to be so unlucky, finally finding a husband who truly cares for her." Rita lamented.

Zander held her hand, "Let's not panic, there may still be a chance."
