Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 298

Probably due to his military upbringing, Ethan was always a stickler for principles.

"Ethan." Ines tugged gently at his face. Ethan gripped her hand tightly, looking into her eyes, "Izzy, I know you trust me. But your parents trusted each other too much too, leaving many things unsaid, which led to unexpected events that they couldn't handle. We should avoid such situations. Even though we trust each other, we must communicate in time to understand what's going on in each other's minds."

Hearing him mention her late parents, Ines felt a pang of sadness, but agreed with his view. She chuckled lightly, "Alright, from now on. If I have any doubts, besides trusting you, I'll turn to you for answers. If you can't clear things up, you'll be sleeping on the floor."

Despite all couples having their arguments, they, almost a year into their marriage, rarely bickered.

Now, she understood why they rarely fought. Because Ethan always communicated with her in time whenever a problem arose and kept reminding her. How could they have major fights with such communication?

Ethan broke into a smile, "Alright, it's settled then."

As they left the bedroom hand in hand, Camela, accustomed to their display, smiled and prepared breakfast. Just as they were about to head for work after breakfast, Ethan's phone rang. He glanced at it and answered, "Hello, Silvia."

Hearing Silvia's name, Ines paused slightly, looking up at Ethan.

Her pained voice came through the phone after a while, "Ethan, I fell down the stairs. I called Lucas, but he's not in A City. I think you sent him on a business trip."

"What happened? Is it serious?" Ethan frowned.

"I overslept, rushed to work and fell. I can't even stand up now, and there's no one around I know that can help." Silvia sounded a bit aggrieved.

"Stay put, don't move. I'll come right away and take you to the hospital." Ethan said.

Ethan hung up after saying this, then told Ines, "Izzy, Silvia fell. I need to go check on her, can't drop you at the company. I'll call the driver to pick you up."

If she didn't know about Silvia's feelings for Ethan, Ines would surely just laugh it off and let him go. But knowing changes things, she wouldn't allow her husband to be alone with a woman with ulterior motives. Ines smiled, "No problem, there's not much going on at the company recently. I'll go with you to see her. Wouldn't feel right otherwise."

Ines's response made Ethan laugh. He held her hand and said, "Alright, let's go check on her."

When Ethan arrived, Silvia was still sitting on the stairs, apparently quite injured as she couldn't stand up herself. Seeing him, her eyes reddened, looking quite pitiful, "Ethan."

Ethan glanced at her thin high heels, frowning, "Running in these high heels, it would be a surprise if you didn't fall."

Silvia pouted, but seemed in good spirits, "I was rushing to work. You know I just started and didn't want to be late."
