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 sincest 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
justy 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 Cam at
home, she was quite relieved.
She was handling thepany''s affairs just fine on her own, and with Ss 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.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
Ines didn''t look up, thinking someone hade to report work. But when no one spoke, she looked
up to see Gentry standing not far away, looking at her with aplex 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 beening 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-rted 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 thepany by
me. Isn''t it inappropriate for you to ask me this now?"
Gentry''s face turned slightly red. When Ines'' news first broke out, he had approached Ines once.
But then he saw the positive reports and how she was working overtime for thepany while
pregnant, and this changed his impression of her.
"I''m sorry, my mistakest time. I was too prone to believe the rumours on the inte."
Ines didn''t just want an apology. She was testing his feelings for Emma. And she confirmed that he
did have feelings for Emma.
But unfortunately, Emma only had Aiden in her heart. Even if she broke up with Aiden in the future,
it would be difficult for her to start a new rtionship.
"She''s doing alright. She''s at home waiting to give birth." Ines didn''t beat around the bush.
"I heard her husband is not good to her?" Gentry asked, then realized he might have crossed a line.
He didn''t have the right.
Ines smiled slightly, "That''s her personal matter. I don''t know the specifics. If you''re close to her, you
can call and ask her directly."
"No, you misunderstand. I don''t have any personal rtionship with her. I''m just concerned as a
colleague, I just want to ask about her situation." He and Emma didn''t interact much. How could
they have a personal rtionship? If this got out, it could ruin her reputation.
In fact, he knew she only appeared strong but meant no harm.
"You''re the first colleague to ask me about her."
"I really just care about her." Gentry''s eyes were turning red with urgency, feeling somewhat
helpless.
Seeing him so anxious, Ines didn''t n to tease him anymore. "Alright, I know there''s nothing
between you two. But what I said is the truth, we are no longer as antagonistic as before, but we''re
not close enough to often inquire about each other."
A few days ago, she heard from Eda that Emma seemed to be preparing to divorce Aiden, but
Aiden disagreed. But she was pregnant. The divorce was a bitplicated.
"Oh, then I''ll leave first." Seeing that he couldn''t get any useful information from Ines, Gentry''s eyes
showed a hint of disappointment.
When Ss came in, he saw Gentrying out of the office and couldn''t help but frown, "Izzy, is
Gentry giving you a hard time again?"
Ines shook her head, "No, he came to ask about Emma. Seems like he has feelings for her."
"Really? They don''t seem to interact much." Ss said doubtfully.
"We don''t need to bother about them, and these things depend on fate. We can''t force it."
"True." Ss ced a thermos box on the table and smiled, "This is a soup your Eda cooked for
you. It tastes great."
"She''s really thoughtful."
"Now the Galeana family doesn''t have those pain-in-the-ass people anymore, and Emma has
be super nice. We''re living in peace there. You shoulde to visit when you can, after all,
that''s where you grew up. Your room is still there, untouched." Ines nodded, "I got it. It''s just that it''s
a hassle to go anywheretely. Ethan''s been keeping a close eye on me."
