Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 266

When it came to the shops, Ines glanced at Ethan, "What about the shops under Shirley's name?"

Ethan replied, "She wanted to transfer them, but there wasn't enough time, so they were frozen. I'll get them moved to Emma's account later."

Ines nodded, looked at Emma, and continued, "If you're not against it, I'll take it as a yes. Take some time off at home, I'll keep your position open for you. We'll see when you want to come back after the baby."

Eda, who was watching, knew Ines was doing this all for Emma's good, although she wasn't smiling and her tone wasn't exactly warm. If Hunter were here, he'd be happy to see the sisters like this.

Just then, the doctor came in and gave Emma a check-up. He found no major issues and said they could leave now or in the morning.

Eda asked for Emma's opinion, "Ms. Emma, you want to stay in the hospital or go home?"

"Eda, just call me Emma. I don't want to stay here, I want to go home right away." Emma's voice was a bit hoarse, she was tired of the hospital, especially without company. At least home was familiar.

Eda nodded, checked the time, it was already half past ten, Aiden still hadn't shown up, and no one answered her many calls.

Ines frowned, Ethan knew what she was getting at and said to Eda with a laugh, "Eda, you pack her stuff, I'll take her home."

Emma looked at Ethan and said seriously, "No trouble, I'm fine, I can take a cab home."

Ines didn't like Emma pretending to be strong, so she told Eda directly, "Help her pack up quickly. It's getting late, I need to get back."

Eda smiled, feeling that both of them were just like Hunter, caring about maintaining their images in public.

Eda followed Ines's suggestion. Since they moved into the hospital in the afternoon, there wasn't much to pack. After Emma changed her clothes, they left the hospital. When they were close to the Galeana family, Eda was a bit worried. Now it was just her and two servants, and she couldn't help but say, "Emma, if you don't find me annoying, I'll go back to the Galeana family with you, and take care of you for a while."

Hearing this, Emma's eyes suddenly reddened. She hadn't been nice to Eda in the past, feeling that Eda liked Ines more. Even though she didn't show it, she'd talked trash about her many times behind her back, sometimes deliberately in earshot. She didn't expect Eda to be willing to take care of her at this time.

Emma nodded quickly, saying happily, "Now that my mom's gone, I hope you and Silas can come back, and we three can live like before."

Eda smiled, they'd been living in the Galeana family for decades and were used to it. Seeing Emma say this, she agreed. After all, they were old and it didn't matter where they lived, "Okay, I'll talk to Silas later, I believe he'll agree."

"Thanks, Eda." Emma smiled. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Eda patted her shoulder lightly, "No need to say thanks. You're not bad by nature, just too influenced by your mother. You'll gradually understand who really cares about you." Eda felt that Shirley's leaving was a good thing, reducing the negative impact on Emma.

Emma nodded.

Hearing this, Ines, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled slightly. Eda and Silas were trustworthy, with them at home, Emma's life would be much easier.

They soon arrived at the Galeana family. Eda helped Emma out of the car, who hesitated, then said, "Thank you."

Ines didn't say anything, just nodded. Eda invited her in for a while, but Ines said it was late. Erica was at home, and she didn't want her to worry, so she didn't go in.

On the way back, Ines was sleepy and yawned constantly.

Ethan stroked her hair, "If you're tired, take a nap, I'll wake you up when we get home."

Ines shook her head, "No, if I fall asleep, I'll have to take a shower when I get home, that'll be hard. I'll just bear with it. We're almost home anyway."

"No need to worry, I'll help you."

"I don't need it, I am afraid if a certain someone can't control themselves, I might not get any sleep tonight." Ines said with a teasing smile in her eyes.

"You're doing this on purpose." Ethan pinched Ines's nose.

"You saw through me."

Ethan laughed, feeling that Ines's mood changed quickly, she was crying in his arms last night, now she could joke with him.

"You're not any slower at emotion changes." Ines sighed, "What's done is done, I can't be sad forever and make you worry. Today, seeing Emma's situation, I feel pretty lucky. My parents may not

be here, but I know they loved me, and they never schemed against me. Everything they did was for me." Here, Ines looked at Ethan, smiling, "Most importantly, I have a great husband, no matter what happens, he's always there for me. Compared to Emma, I'm already very lucky, what else could I ask for?"

"You really know how to compare." Ethan laughed.

Then Ines stopped talking, just sat there quietly smiling.

Erica and Camela were still up, sitting in the living room chatting and watching TV. When they saw Ines come in, they asked worriedly, "Nothing happened over there, did it?"

Seeing them like this, Ines was deeply touched, "I'm fine. My dad's fall from the stairs wasn't an accident, but Shirley's doing. That woman has now bolted with all of Emma's valuables, seriously hurting her own daughter and granddaughter."
