Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 288

When Ines woke up, she found that the person who had been up early was still by her side. She reached out in confusion and touched him, feeling his skin hot as a fire. It scared her enough to make her open her eyes and touch his forehead, finding it was also burning hot.

"Ethan, wake up. You seem to have a fever," Ines shook Ethan.

Ethan, feeling parched, opened his eyes to see Ines looking worriedly at him. He frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you feel unwell? You have a fever." "Oh, I see. Then stay away from me so I don't pass the cold to you. You're in a special period. If you get sick and can't take medicine, it'll be a big hassle." Ethan said in a hoarse voice. Actually, he had been feeling a bit under the weather since last night with a slight headache, but he rarely fell ill, so he didn't take it seriously.

"No worries. We've slept together all night long. If it's contagious, it should have spread by now. You just lay down for a while. I'll go find some fever reducers." Ines insisted.

There were always some medicines in the house. Ines quickly found some fever reducers. Ethan took them and fell asleep soon after.

Ines called Lucas and reported the situation. Then she went to the Galeana Group. With Camela at home, she was quite relieved.

She was handling the company's affairs just fine on her own, and with Silas guiding her, there were no issues.

Just as she sat down, someone knocked on the door. Ines called out, "Come in."

After getting permission, Gentry pushed the door open.

Ines didn't look up, thinking someone had come to report work. But when no one spoke, she looked up to see Gentry standing not far away, looking at her with a complex expression, seeming to have trouble speaking.

He didn't carry any documents either clearly, he wasn't here for work. Was it personal?

Ines put down her pen, looking seriously at Gentry, "Mr. Gentry, what's up?"

Gentry looked a bit embarrassed, and a careful look could reveal an abnormal redness on his dark face.

Ines found it somewhat amusing, "Mr. Gentry, just spits it out, it's just you and me in the office, no need to worry too much."

"I want to ask why Ms. Emma hasn't been coming to work recently?" Gentry spoke quickly, then lowered his head.

Ines raised her eyebrows in surprise. At first, she didn't think too much, but seeing Gentry's peculiar face, she quickly realized. Was he smitten with Emma Galeana?

This was unexpected, as Gentry and Emma didn't seem to have much interaction.

"Mr. Gentry, do you have any work-related issues with Ms. Emma?" Ines smiled slightly, curious about what was going on.

"It's not about work. I just want to know how she's doing."

"Do you really think I'm that close with her? As you know, she was pushed out of the company by me. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me this now?"
