A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1417

"Wait, where did you learn how to bandage like this?" Ethan stood up from the bench and looked at his dressed wound in disbelief.

Estelle had used a bandaging technique that was completely different from the one used in hospitals.

However, he had seen this technique before. It had been used by the girl he was looking for.

When Ethan was a boy, he had been abducted and taken away along with a little girl.

It was then that he had seen her for the first time.

At that time, Ethan had been unruly and fearless. He had stood up to their abductors. Because of that, he had been regularly beaten up.

The little girl, on the other hand, had been the exact opposite. She had been frightened and panicked when beatings occurred, and had been unwilling to talk to anyone. One time, one of their abductors had beat her in front of Ethan, who had then thrown himself between her and the abductor and taken every blow that was meant for her.

After the beating was over, the little girl had come up to Ethan and patched him up. She had bandaged him up the exact same way that Estelle had done just now.

The little girl's technique had been sloppy, possibly because she had been young and lacked skill, but it was still the same technique as Estelle's.

"I've known how to bandage like that since I was a child. Why do you sound so surprised?" Estelle's voice brought Ethan back to reality.

He stared at Estelle with probing eyes as if searching for something.

Estelle eventually felt uncomfortable under Ethan's gaze, but she stared back decisively as if telling him that she was not afraid of him.

The two stared at each other for a while.

In the end, Ethan gave in and raised his hands in surrender.

Estelle chuckled, stood up, and started walking.

"Is it possible that she's the one I've been looking for?" Watching Estelle walk away, Ethan murmured to himself. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, on the other side...

Swoosh! Harlan took a deep breath. The screen of his mobile phone slowly dimmed. He turned his head toward Darren, who was next to him.

"Done?" Darren asked. Flicking his cigarette butt, Darren leaned against the car.

Without answering Darren's question, Harlan went to the backseat and came back with two documents in his hands. He handed them to Darren.

"Here's the information of the company's two former employees you wanted to check out. I've asked my men to investigate them. They've agreed to meet with us at noon in a downtown lounge cafe." Harlan started walking to the driver's seat.

"It's almost time. Let's go." He stubbed out his cigarette after taking one last drag. Darren got in the car after him.

The documents in Darren's hands were densely packed with words, which made his eyes hurt, but he kept reading. He had to be prepared for the meeting.

The sun was blazing high above the city. Its beams shone in through the car window, somewhat increasing the temperature inside, but the air conditioner instantly extinguished the heat, maintaining a cool ambience.
