Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 146

When they got back to the apartment, they found Silas pacing anxiously near the entrance, looking like he had been waiting for them. The moment they appeared, he rushed over.

"Ms. Galeana, Mr. Meyer, you're finally back. I've been waiting forever," Silas blurted out, clearly agitated.

Ines was in a foul mood and didn't have the patience to deal with Silas. She asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Ms. Galeana, I need to talk to you."

Ethan felt a pang of anxiety, guessing what might be coming. But judging from Silas's tone, it couldn't be as bad as he imagined.

Annoyed, Ines retorted, "I've got nothing to say to you. Get out of our way."

It was then that Silas noticed the bandages on Ethan's arm and the rolled-up sleeve on Ines's arm, revealing minor scrapes. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you guys?"

Ethan shot Silas a disgruntled look. He thought he had made himself clear last time, but here Silas was, still bothering Ines. "Just a minor mishap, Silas. If it's not something really important, you should leave."

Ethan stressed the word "important", and Silas got the hint. But his news was indeed urgent. Hunter had gone through several rounds of chemotherapy; not only was it excruciating, but it was also completely useless.

So, he had decided to stop all treatments and simply wait for death, and Silas couldn't talk him out of it.

"Ms. Galeana, the chairman is sick," Silas blurted out, ignoring Ethan's attempt to deflect him.

Ines stiffened, then snorted at Silas, "So he should go to the hospital. I'm not a doctor. What's the point of telling me?"

"The chairman refuses to accept any treatment. I can't convince him," Silas said, clearly upset.

"And you think I can? I've cut ties with him. Please leave. Don't bother me anymore," Ines snapped back.

"Ms. Galeana, there's no such grudge between a father and daughter. It wasn't entirely his fault; he had to cut ties with you. After the car accident, the doctors determined that Emma would be disabled for life. Shirley wanted to sue you. If the chairman hadn't intervened, you would probably be in jail," Silas explained.
