Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 238

Camela looked at Ines with a heavy heart. She'd been in this family for a while, and they were nothing like the arrogant, high-and-mighty types she'd worked for before. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. But now, with everything that had happened, she felt gutted.

"Lauren, I'm fine. Go and do your thing. Camela's here to keep me company," Ines didn't want to hold up Lauren.

Lauren squeezed Ines's hand with a smile, "You're still being polite now? We're family, you know. How could I go to work knowing you're going through all this? Missing a few days at the gallery is no big deal."

"Lauren," Ines looked at her.

"Sweetheart, have a bite to eat. You haven't had anything all day. Your two little ones must be starving," Lauren persuaded.

"Okay," Ines nodded. With her agreement, Camela happily brought out the food she had prepared from the kitchen. Ines began to eat, but it was as if she was going through the motions, not really tasting anything. Halfway through, she suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom to throw up.

Lauren quickly followed, rubbing her shoulders and patting her back.

After throwing up, Ines felt weak, barely able to walk. Lauren helped her to bed and asked Camela, "Why is Izzy experiencing morning sickness again?"

"It stopped a while ago. I'm not sure why it's starting up again today. It might be because of the emotional ups and downs she's been on," Camela explained.

Lauren, gently stroking Ines's hair, asked, "Izzy, is there anything you feel like eating? I can go get it for you."

Ines shook her head, "I'm not hungry. I'm tired. I want to sleep."

Lauren nodded, not pushing her further. She tucked Ines in, "You just get some rest, Izzy. Don't worry about a thing. Camela and I are right outside if you need anything."

Ines, knowing they were worried about her, gave them a reassuring smile, "I'll be fine, guys. I'm a mom to two now. I won't torture myself." She cherished the lives she was carrying dearly.

Feeling slightly relieved, Lauren and Camela left the room, giving Ines some space.

"Camela, what can Izzy eat to help with the morning sickness?" Lauren asked.

"Mr Galeana gave me a secret recipe. Cut some papaya into small pieces and soak it in yogurt. She had that for a few days before, and it helped."

"Can you run out and grab some groceries? Just checked the fridge. We're pretty much out of food."

Camela nodded and left to go shopping.

By noon, Erica Meyer, Phillip Meyer, and Jacob Meyer had all arrived. Lauren, surprised, warmly invited them in.

Entering the living room, a photo of Ines and Ethan's wedding caught everyone's eye. Everyone sighed regretfully that Hunter would not be able to attend Ines's wedding or witness the birth of their children, leaving their wedding incomplete.
