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 mustmunicate in time to understand what''s going on in each other''s minds.”


    Hearing him mention herte 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 alwaysmunicated with her in time whenever a problem arose and kept reminding


    her. How could they have major fights with suchmunication?


    Ethan broke into a smile, "Alright, it''s settled then."Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    As they left the bedroom hand in hand, Cam, ustomed to their disy, smiled and prepared breakfast. Just as they were about to head for work


    after breakfast, Ethan’s phone rang. He nced 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? ls 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''lle 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 thepany. I''ll call the driver to pick you


    up."


    If she didn''t know about Silvia''s feelings for Ethan. Ines would surely justugh 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 thepany recently. I''ll go with


    you to see her. Wouldn''t feel right otherwise.”


    Ines''s response made Ethanugh. 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 nced 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 bete.”


    "Why can''t yothwake up a few


    minutes earlier? Why always get up


    at theswminute?’ Ethan was rather

    Ines used to do the same before her pregnancy, but she had gotten used to it and managed well.


    "I just wanted to sleep a little more, getting up in the morning is really hard." Silvia said.


    Ethan, feeling helpless, supported her arm, asking. "Can you stand up on your own?”


    Silvia was about to answer when she noticed Ines standing not far away. Her gaze shifted slightly and her smile was somewhat forced, "Ines, you


    came too? I''m sorry for bothering you so early.”


    Ethan initially let Ines wait in the car, but upon second thought, she decided toe down. Little did she expect to see a sh of surprise and


    resentment on Silvia''s face.


    Clearly, she didn''t want Ines toe.


    "Yes, Ethan and I were about to go to work. When we heard what happened to you. I was a bit worried, so we came over to see.” Ines said.


    "Sorry to trouble you so much." Silvia said.


    Ines figured that if Silvia wanted to y, she''d y along. There was no reason for her to lose, "Silvia, don''t be so polite."


    Then, Ines turned to Ethan, "Ethan,


    we should hurry and take Silvia to


    the hospitalWe can''t dy. A sprain


    isa smalhmatter, but if it''s serious, ~


    it''ll be troublesome.” Ethan raisecdan


    eyebrow. After being together for so


    longxthey could easily senseeach


    other''s emotions. He felt that Ines


    was somewhat odd today: her


    enthusiasm for Silvia was a bit over


    the top.


    “Ethan, what are you thinking about? Let''s go." Ines looked at Ethan and smiled.


    "Can you walk?" Ethan asked


    "I''ll try." Silvia said.


    Ethan supported Silvia as she took a step, but her legs gave way the moment she put weight on it.


    With no other choice, Ethan had to carry her. Seeing Silvia’s arm around Ethan''s neck, Ines felt ufortable, a sense of distress grew within her.


    Silvia seemed excited. This was the first time Ethan had helped her so intimately. His broad back gave her a great sense of security.


    Once in the car, Ines naturally sat in the passenger seat, and Ethan asionally engaged in conversation with her, mainly about their two children.


    Silvia felt like an outsider, unable to join their conversation.


    Ethan took Silvia straight to the


    hospital where she worked, found a


    nurse to wheel out a wheelchair, and


    helped her into the hospital with it.


    Seeing Ethan do this, the displeasure


    Ines feltfrom Ethan helping Silvia


    earlief gradually faded, and she


    codn''t help but smile. She felt that


    Ethan was indeed considérate


    enough to avoid causing her


    dissatisfaction. Otherwise, she


    would really get angry.
