Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 494

Just as Trenton was about to leave, Ines grabbed his arm. Her eyes were pleading. “I’m coming with you.” She couldn’t stand the thought of waiting at home for news. It would drive her mad.

“Izzy, that place is dangerous. There could be landslides at any moment. It’s too risky for you to go,” Trenton argued.

Ines looked at him with determination. Her eyes were filled with a quiet strength and worry. “That’s exactly why I need to go.”

Noticing Ines’ resolve, Phillip couldn’t deny her request. He sighed, “Trenton, just take Izzy with you. Look out for her. She can’t sit still at home.”

“Alright, but Izzy, you need to change into warmer clothes. It’s still raining outside and the mountain air is chilly. We don’t want you to get sick.” Trenton conceded.

Upon hearing these words, Ines dashed upstairs to change. The sight of her hurried, unsteady steps made everyone’s heart race with worry.

Trenton patted Erica on the shoulder. “Erica, Izzy has been through a lot. She’s stronger than you think. She’ll be able to handle this.”

“But this time it’s different. The person in danger is Ethan. We all know how much they mean to each other.” Erica closed her eyes. There was a hint of sorrow in her voice.

Ines returned quickly. She was now dressed appropriately for the weather. Her feet were clad in sturdy boots.

“The kids are in my room. I woke them up when I went upstairs. They might be waking up soon. Could you check on them?”

“Don’t worry, Izzy. We’ll take good care of them.”

Without further delay, they got into the car. The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping, unabashedly washing over the roads.

The sight of the devastation outside made Ines feel as if her heart had been plunged into an icy pit. Landslides had buried everything in sight, leaving a desolate atmosphere in their wake.

Ines’ teeth were chattering, not from the cold, but from fear.

“Izzy, you need to calm down.” Trenton tried to soothe her, though he was just as panicked. After all, the person in danger was his son. But he had to force himself to stay calm.

Ines nodded and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. She repeated this process over and over.

After a while, the car jolted. “What’s happening?”

“The road ahead is damaged. We can’t drive any further. We’ll have to walk from here.” Trenton handed her a raincoat. “Put this on. It’s too windy for an umbrella.”
