Chapter 222
Ines felt helpless, so she picked up the call. As soon as Hunter spoke, he interrogated, "Where did
the photo album in your room go? Why is it gone? Did you and Ethan take it?"
His tone was as if he was interrogating her, which she found utterly distasteful.
"Nope." Ines answered coolly.
"That room has always been locked and recently only you guys have been in there. It couldn''t have
been anyone else." Hunter said.
Ines clenched her phone with a stern face, "Those are my pictures, I don''t need your permission to
take them."
"I organized those photos, so you can''t just take them without my consent." Hunter retorted
forcefully. If he hadn''te home this time, he wouldn''t even know the album was gone.
All organized by him? Ines felt a bit uneasy but remained firm, "So what? The person in the pictures
is me, so they''re my stuff. I’ll take them if I want to."
"Ines, I don''t want to argue with you, just have someone bring the album back at some point."
Hunter didn''t want to get into it with Ines; they were two peas in a pod.
"No way." Ines firmly replied. She and Ethan loved those pictures, often flipping through them,
imagining their future child through her childhood photos.
"Ines, are you really being this heartless?" Hunter''s voice rose.
Ines didn’t care, "Anyway, I''m not giving it to you."
"If you don''t have someone bring it back, I''lle get it myself." Hunter said.
Ines wasn''t scared. But as she was about to retort, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and
felt very ufortable. She quickly tossed her phone onto the sofa and bolted to the bathroom.
Phillip quickly called out to Cam, "Cam, go check on Izzy, she''s throwing up again."
Cam immediately left what she was doing and rushed to the bathroom. Ines was hunched over
the toilet, tears streaming down her face as she retched but nothing came up.
Cam patted her back and massaged her shoulders. As soon as Ines lifted her head, she handed
her a cup of water to rinse her mouth.
After rinsing her mouth, Ines stood up, feeling weak. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Seeing her like this, Cam said sympathetically, "This morning sickness issting too long."
Ines was also frustrated, rubbing her belly, "When these twoe out, I''m going to give them a
good scolding. They''re too troublesome, not letting me eat or sleep well."
"That''s usually what Ethan says, now you''re stealing his lines." Camughed at Ines''s words.

Seeing Ines''s pale face, Phillip was deeply worried, "She can''t keep throwing up like this."
"Don''t worry too much, it''s a phase every pregnant woman goes through. Ines might just be more
sensitive than most. She''ll bounce back soon." Cam reassured with a smile.
"Grandpa, I''m fine, don''t worry." Ines said.
Cam made Ines sit down, then picked up some dried plums from the coffee table for her. After
eating one, Ines felt the difort in her chest ease a bit, but she still felt unwell.
"Cam, isn''t there a better way?" Phillip asked, frowning.
"Every pregnant woman is different, I''ve tried many methods that work for most, but none seem to
work for Ines. Don''t worry too much, this is a stage every pregnant woman has to go through. She''ll
get through it." Cam said.
Leaning on the sofa, Ines noticed her phone screen was still lit. She remembered that she had left
in such a hurry that she forgot to hang up the call.
She picked up her phone, about to hang up, when she heard Hunter''s deep voice from the other
end, "Are you still throwing up?"
Just having finished throwing up, Ines was in no mood to deal with Hunter, so she hung up the call.
Hunter was used to the sound of being hung up on. Looking at Ss next to him, Ss exined,
"Ines has been throwing up quite severely recently, and it''s been going on for a long time. Mr. Meyer
has tried everything but can''t seem to help."
Hearing this, Hunter thought for a moment, then reopened his phone and quickly texted Ines.
He then asked Ss, "What else did the girl take from this room besides the album?"
"I''ve checked carefully, there should be nothing else. They probably just thought the album was
valuable." Ss said.
"Of course the album is valuable. It took me over ten years to organize, and they just took it."
Hunter said discontentedly.
"Mr. Galeana, if they like it, just let them have it. I see you still have some photos on yourputer,
I can organize another album for you when I have time." Ss said.
Hunter waved his hand, "No need, it won''t have the same value as the original. Oh, I remember
Delh used to keep a diary, but I haven''t found it since she passed. Go look in the bedroom again."
"Okay." Ss said.
Ines happened to open her phone and saw a text from Hunter.
The text read: [You can try soaking cantaloupe in yogurt for a few hours and then eat it. Your mom
used this method to stop vomiting. After a few days, she stopped throwing up. You can try it. It might
work.]
After reading the text, Ines was a bit dazed. Seeing her strange look, Cam asked, "Ines, what''s
wrong?"
"Cam, do we have yogurt and cantaloupe at home?" Ines asked.
"We do." Cam said.
"Can you cut the cantaloupe into small pieces and soak them in the yogurt? I suddenly want to eat
it." Ines said.
Ines''s appetite had been poor recently, and she only asionally requested something specific to
eat. Hearing her say this, both Phillip and Cam were delighted.
"Cam, go prepare it now. Start soaking it, and it''ll be ready by tonight." Phillip said.
Cam nodded in agreement, "Okay, I''ll prepare it right now."
After Cam left, Phillip looked at Ines, "Was that his suggestion?"
"No, I just suddenly wanted to eat it." Ines said.
Phillip shook his head, "You''re always such a weirdo, no wonder Ashley loves to tease you. Seeing
you like this, I can''t help but want to tease you too."
Ines wrinkled her nose, "Grandpa, I''m not a pet, why would you guys want to tease me?" Phillip
burst intoughter.
