Broken Memories Intertwined Hearts Chapter 108

Chapter 108 
Ines was taken aback, then lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom.” 
Erica shook her head “Kid, this ain’t your fault. Beasley was a soldier, he just did what a soldier should do.” 
“Izzy, we Meyers are a military family, no one knows better about the duty of a soldier than me. We’d rather they live a peaceful life than die as heroes too soon.” Enca said 
Ines’s heart started beating fast. She understood Erica’s perspective all too well, but what she feared more was what Erica might say next. Seeing this, Erica couldn’t help but chuckle. “Izzy, don’t freak out. I just want to chat about what’s on my mind. Usually, I don’t have anyone to talk to about this. I wouldn’t dare to talk about this to your grandfather and father. In their eyes, ideals and beliefs are above all else 
Erica continued, “Izzy, I consider you family, which is why I’m telling you all this. It’s been a long time since everything happened, and I’ve come to terms with it. I’ve lost one son, I can’t afford to lose another. Even if I break you and Ethan up, it won’t bring his brother back Ethan has finally moved on from his past and found someone he genuinely likes. He can’t handle another loss” 
No wonder Erica thought Ines looked familiar when she first visited, it was because they had met in the hospital years ago. Back then, Erica was nearly broken from the loss of her son. She wanted to see who had put her son in that state, but when she saw Ines with her head wrapped in bandages, tubes all over her body, and her pale face in the ICU, she felt sympathy 
Looking back, it was all fate. She saved her other son. 
Ines looked at Erica emotionally, “You’re a great mother. Truly a woman who considered her son’s needs 
Erica shook her head, “Izzy, if you feel guilty, just be extra good to Ethan, okay?” 
Ines nodded, “I will.” 
Enca patted her shoulder, “Let’s put this behind us. No matter what the truth of the accident is, don’t mention it anymore. Just live a good life with Ethan.” 
“What about Dad and Grandpa?” Ines asked 
“We discussed this before you guys came back. We all agreed on this Erica said with a smile. 
Hearing this, Ines couldn’t help but burst into tears. Erica wiped her tears and said, “Don’t cry. If Ethan sees this, he might think I’ve been hard on you.” 
Ines quickly wiped her tears. Seeing this, Erica chuckled. 
Ines blushed, but still asked the question lingering in her mind, “Mom, what exactly did Ethan go through? Why did he break up with his ex-girlfriend? Was it because of betrayal?” 
Enca paused before saying, “I wish it was because of betrayal. With Ethan’s personality, he wouldn’t wallow over a woman not worth it. The truth is, they didn’t break up. That woman was his most trusted secretary, but she died because of Ethan. That’s why Ethan has been living with quilt and regret all these years.” 
Enca didn’t tell Ines the details. It was better for Ethan to tell her 
Ines was shocked beyond words. She thought Ethan didn’t accept another relationship because he broke up with his ex–girlfriend for some reason. But it turned out to be like this They didn’t break up, it was death. 
This word was too cruel. No wonder he was always worried that she would leave him. He had already experienced a complete loss. 
“Theard two women talking about this at the Meyer Group not long ago. I guess rumors can’t be trusted Ines sighed. 
“Ah, it’s better to let Ethan tell you the details. It’s my place to say. Give Ethan some time, and trust him. He’s “onsible 
he must have made preparations. How he’s been to you all this time, I’m sure you can feel it.” Erica said. 
Ines whispered, “I know what to do next. Thanks.” 
Ines left Erica’s room, still in shock from what she just learned 
Since he has decided to marry you, 
Ethan had been waiting outside the door. As soon as he saw her come out, he rushed forward. Seeing her unusual expression, he touched her face, “What’s wrong? Did my mom say something?” 
“Why are you so nervous? What could possibly happen?” Erica walked away with a smile 
Ines looked at Ethan, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy for him. She tiptoed to touch his face, just like he did, and smiled at him, Tm fine. Mom and I talked everything out I won’t overthink anymore.” From now on, she would accompany him, and everything would get better 
Ethan laughed, “If I knew this would work, I would have let my mom talk to you a long time ago.” 
“Yeah, I think your mom is very wise and great.” Ines said. 
No one noticed Phillip not far away, watching Ines with a deep sense of guilt in his eyes 
Ines’s vacation was down to the last day, and Ethan had things to arrange for tomorrow. So, the two of them returned to the city right after lunch 
Ethan personally called Rita and Zander, for the first time sincerely talking about the car accident, and told them about the Meyer family’s decision. Rita and Zander both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the Meyer family’s attitude
