Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 358

Ethan looked at the spaghetti in his hands and chuckled. "Izzy, is this all the pasta we've got?"

"Quit your whining, Grandpa said you need to starve for a bit," Ines said, sounding a bit annoyed. Then she shoved an apple into his chest. "If you're still hungry, have another apple."

"What's up, you seem a bit down."

"It's all your fault. I bumped into Dad on my way out. He saw the food I made and laughed. It was so embarrassing when I grabbed an apple in front of him." Ines glared at Ethan, sitting down in a huff.

"No worries, you're not more embarrassed than me. Just think about the fact that I got spanked at my age, it'll make you feel better. Plus, Dad knows the apple was for you, it's all good." Ethan pinched her cheek, trying to comfort her.

Ines pouted, knowing there was no point in dwelling on the past. She told Ethan, "No matter how bad my cooking tastes, you have to finish it, or my embarrassment will be in vain."

Ethan grinned. "I will."

Although the food seemed a bit chaotic, it tasted decent. Ethan started to chow down.

Ines ate very little that night. Seeing Ethan eating so heartily made her feel hungry. Ethan chuckled and fed her a bite. After tasting it, Ines laughed. "Hmm, seems like I haven't lost my cooking skills. It tastes pretty good."

Sharing bite after bite, they finished their meal in no time and then shared the apple.

After dinner, Ines had nothing to do and was sleepy. She fell asleep soon after. Ethan put the plate aside and cuddled Ines to sleep. However, he was woken up in the middle of the night by a piercing ringtone. He picked up the phone and saw the caller ID said, Silvia. Without a second thought, he hung up.

Silvia called again persistently. Ethan frowned and shut off his phone. He then cuddled Ines and tried to go back to sleep. Not long after, there was a loud knock at the door. He could vaguely hear it was Erica. "Ethan, something happened to Silvia, get up now."

Ines also woke up, nudged Ethan, and said, "I think I heard mom say something about Silvia. Go check it out."

Ethan frowned, got up, and opened the door. Erica was standing there, looking flustered.

"Mom, what happened?"

"I got a call saying Silvia slit her wrists at home. She's being resuscitated at the hospital. Her neighbor, who knows we're close, called me."
