Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 158

Ines hadn't lived here for a while. The place smelled a bit musty. They opened the window for a period of time before hitting the bed.

Ines was tossing and turning in the unfamiliar bed. "Ethan, I never thought I’d come back here."

"Izzy, this is your childhood home, after all. It's natural for you to return. There's nothing to overthink."

They were silent until Ines asked, "What did the expert say? How long can we extend our lifespan?"

"He's doing a bit better. As long as we don't stress him out and he takes good care of himself, five or six years is not a problem."

The next day, Ines woke up very early. Eda had breakfast ready for everyone, but only she and Ethan were at the table. Eda had made Ines's old favorite, meat sauce noodles, but Ines had little appetite.

"Ms Ines, why have your tastes changed so much now? You used to love this dish. But because it's a bit greasy, Madam only allows you to eat it once in a while."

"Really? My stomach isn’t as strong as it used to be. I prefer lighter meals in the morning."

"I see. Then I'll prepare more light things for you next time. Greasy food isn't the best for you."

Eda couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Have I remembered it wrong? Last time you came home, I noticed that you weren’t as keen on many things you used to love."

Ethan seemed confused by her changed taste too.

Hunter and Silas came down from upstairs, Silas carrying a huge suitcase. Eda knew Hunter was undergoing treatment and asked, "Did you pack everything? Did you forget anything?"

"It's all good. I can get whatever I need there."

"Let's get going then," said Hunter.

Ines's hand clenched.

Ethan smiled and said, "Izzy and I also have time today. Let's go to the airport with you."

At this, a glimmer of light sparked in Hunter's eyes. He glanced at Ines, who avoided his gaze and looked away. "Let's get a move on then. I have work in the morning."

"Alright, I'll load the luggage onto the car right away," said Silas, cheerfully carrying the luggage to the car.

Hunter followed quickly.

Ethan and Ines also left the house.

They drove out of the Galeana family compound one after another.

Ines grumbled, "Why did you have to offer to drop them off?"

"Izzy, a patient’s mood is important. The treatment process is painful. Giving him hope is more important than anything."

Ines sighed lightly. "Alright."

The airport was bustling early in the morning. Seeing the planes took off, Ines felt a twinge of bitterness. "I wonder if he can take care of himself."
