A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Ethan understood what Estelle meant just by the look in her eyes. He clenched his teeth, uncertain whether she knew what he wanted or not. He certainly didn't need her to be just grateful to him.

Thinking of this, he had an idea. "Haven't you always wanted to repay me? Why don't you marry me?" Without waiting for a response, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Estelle, not expecting this at all, wanted to push him away, but remained frozen.

He had expected her to refuse, so before she could even push him off her, he pulled away.

"You promised that you would," he said with a mischievous smile. He was much taller than she was, and with the way they were standing there, he could easily touch her face as he gazed upon her.

She glared at him, deeply offended by his brazenness.

But looking at her angry face improved Ethan's mood.

"Well, you should head back. I should leave as well. Sleep early. Good night!" Ethan flashed her a smile and surprised her with another kiss.

He then ran away in a hurry.

Estelle stood there, seething. Her blood boiled with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

When she opened the door to the ward, she found her father already fast asleep. Moving as quietly as possible, she washed her face, gargled, and went to bed. However, to her dismay, she found it impossible to fall asleep.

The following morning, Ethan came again, bringing Estelle breakfast. He asked the attending doctors to examine her father as well.
