Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 179

"If I heard right, you should be more careful."

Ines looked up to see that the person who had approached her was Silvia. She was wearing a suit jacket and short skirt that Ines had picked out for her a few days ago, and a pair of silver high heels about five to six centimeters high, the whole look screamed competence. At this moment, she was looking at Emma with a gentle smile.

Emma looked at the young woman in front of her, puzzled, and asked: “Who are you?”

“I’m a psychologist. If I’m not mistaken, Miss Emma, you seem quite worried about the baby in your belly.” Silvia said, her gaze falling on Emma’s belly. Emma’s hand was resting on her stomach, her arm slightly bent, a protective stance.

Silvia continued: “But I reckon it’s a waste of time. Your husband doesn’t love the baby as much as you think. He just took you out for a stroll and his eyes were filled with impatience. He just held your hand, but a husband who truly loves his wife would subconsciously wrap his arm around her waist after knowing she’s pregnant, since it’s a better way to protect both wife and child.”

Silvia paused, then went on: “I can’t figure out why you’d want to have a child for a man who doesn’t love you. As a woman, it’s hard for me to sit back and watch. I think it’s pointless to have a child for such a man. That’s why I thought I’d come over and give you a heads up.”

Silvia’s words left Aiden and Emma in an awkward position. They didn’t know what to say.

“Anyway, I’m just saying. Don’t take it to heart. Maybe I’m wrong. Everyone expresses love differently.” Silvia had a light smile on her face, not a trace of malice in her eyes, as if she really had their best interest at heart.

Emma felt a chill in her heart, and silently walked away. Shirley and Aiden quickly followed.

Silvia watched them leave, then turned to Ines and said: “Ines.”

Ines gave a slight smile, knowing that Silvia had said those things for her sake. “Thanks, Silvia.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I haven’t done anything. I wanted to visit you after you were discharged from the hospital, but I’ve been busy looking for a job. Today I happened to pass by, saw someone who looked like you, and decided to check it out. I didn’t expect to witness this.”

“How come you’re here?”

“I've found a job. I started working as an intern psychologist at a hospital yesterday. I’m here with my patient who’s shopping. She has depression, it’s a special case. I’m responsible for accompanying her throughout the day, giving her psychological counseling.” Silvia pointed in a certain direction.

Ines followed the direction of her pointing and saw a woman trying on clothes in a store not far away. The woman was dressed exquisitely, clearly from a well-off family.

“That’s my patient.”

“I see, congratulations on your new job.” Ines gave a small smile.
