A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Shane turned around and went back to Ethan. “Who would do this?“ he asked with a creased forehead.

Ethan glanced at him and sneered, “Do you even have to ask?“

Shane and Marc gave each other a knowing look. The answer was already obvious. Looking at the wounds and scratches all over Ethan's body, Shane frowned. “Are you okay, boss?“ he asked with a worried tone.

Groaning, Ethan shook his head lightly. He winced as he stood up and carried Estelle in his arms. “Enough talking. Let's go to the hospital now.“

Both of them nodded and quickly moved to help them. Estelle's left arm was still bleeding excessively, and her whole arm was coated with the red liquid. Ethan's clothes were also stained by the blood.

With Estelle still in his arms, Ethan gently got into the car. Then, Shane and Marc got into the driver's seat and the front passenger seat respectively. After making sure that everyone was ready to go, Shane started the car and drove to the hospital at top speed.

Before the car even came to a full stop at the gate of the hospital, Ethan was already scrambling to get the door open. He climbed out of the car with Estelle still in his arms and quickly rushed into the hospital. The love of his life had lost too much blood and was unconscious. When they saw Ethan's bloody appearance, the nurses and doctors immediately rushed over to them and helped Ethan get Estelle on a stretcher. Once they got her settled, they quickly moved her to the operating room to save her.

The medical staff speculated that perhaps one of her main arteries was damaged. It was probably why she had bled so much. Only the nurses and doctors were allowed in the operating room, so Shane, Marc, and Ethan could do nothing but stare at the red light above the door as they anxiously waited outside.

During the wait, Ethan got some clean clothes and changed into them. The wounds he had acquired from the fight had been checked and bandaged by a doctor. Thankfully, all of them were just minor injuries. None of his vital organs had been hit and he hadn't broken any bones. Despite that, Ethan still looked like a wreck.

“Boss…“ Looking at his boss's appearance, Shane wanted to say something comforting, but quickly stopped himself. Instead, he suggested, “Why don't you get yourself something to eat first? Marc and I will stay here and keep an eye on her.“
