Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 65

Erica led Izzy out into the corridor, a faint grin tugging at Izzy' lips. She was fond of this level of trust.

At the couch reserved for guests in the corridor, Izzy hung her head low, a hint of guilt creeping in, "Mum, thank you, but I'm really sorry."

Seeing Izzy like this, Erica couldn't help but chuckle, ruffling her hair with a sigh, a bit worried about her character.

"Izzy, I'm your mother. What I said in front of your aunt and uncle was from the heart. I truly see you as my own daughter. You don't have to thank me, okay?"

Hearing "I'm your mother", Izzy was moved beyond words. It's often said that mother-in-laws are naturally biased and can't compare to a real mom.

But that wasn't the case for her. Even when people accused her of being a mistress, Erica still trusted and defended her unconditionally.

She really was lucky.

Izzy nodded slightly and said in a soft voice, "Alright."

"That's my girl." Erica ruffled Izzy's hair and sat her down.

Her heart was warm.

With a mother-in-law like this, why hide the past? "Mom, I don't know if Ethan told you, but I had a car accident a few years ago. I can't remember the past clearly, just vaguely. The woman just now is my half-sister, my mom committed suicide because of my dad's betrayal. And on the night before my engagement party when I was 22, which was five years ago, I saw my fiancé cheating on me with my sister. I was so hurt and angry that I ran her over on the day of the engagement party, leaving her legs crippled. My stepmother insisted on suing me, but my aunt

reached an agreement with them. I cut ties with the Galeana family, and they dropped the charges and stopped bothering me. After that, I went to B City with my aunt, then met Ethan."

Even if Izzy didn't tell her the rest, Erica knew that it was nothing more than marrying Ethan and then moving to A City with him. Looking at Izzy, with her clear and innocent eyes, Erica thought she didn't at all seem like a scheming person.

Although it was quite a coincidence that everything happened five years ago. She chose not to delve into the past anymore. She was satisfied with the situation.

Erica held Izzy's hand, with her eyes full of worry, "Izzy, how're the injuries you got back then?"

Unable to hold back her tears, Izzy started crying. Erica took out a handkerchief and wiped them away for her, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Emma was seriously injured in the legs. It was obvious that the accident was severe. How could she be unscathed? She had been in a coma for over a month due to severe blood loss and even had a cardiac arrest, but she was successfully resuscitated. Even the doctors said it was a medical miracle that she survived.

Regardless, it was all in the past. Izzy didn't want to worry Erica, so she shook her head and said, "I was in a coma for over a month. When I woke up, I had only lost my memory. I have some trauma from the accident, but everything else is fine."
