A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1444

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.

This greatly pleased Philo.

When the doctors finished conducting a general check-up of Philo, their eyes were wide with shock. They had thought that the man would never regain consciousness, but here he was, wide awake, and so soon at that! It was a medical miracle.

"Doctor, how is my father?" Estelle asked as she cautiously looked at the doctors.

"There's no reason to worry. He's fine. Mr. Wang is in stable condition. But he has been in bed for a long time, so he is still a little weak. It will take some time for him to fully recover, but he is doing well so far. He's a little malnourished at the moment, but he'll be fine after a good amount of rest," said the head doctor.

"It would be good if you can convince Mr. Wang to get out of bed and do some simple exercises from time to time. This will speed up his recovery," added a different doctor.

The other doctors in the room nodded their agreement.

"Okay, we understand. Thank you, Doctor," Ethan said, stepping forward and nodding his head.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gu," the doctors said, almost in unison. They were flattered by his gesture of respect.

After they had gone out, Ethan looked at Estelle's father and said softly, "Sir, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead," Philo replied, looking straight into Ethan's eyes. He had had a good night's sleep and was in high spirits.

"Where did you find Estelle? And at that time, did she have eye-catching items with her, say, a hair clip and a bracelet?" Ethan asked nervously, his eyes fixed on Philo's.

Estelle did not understand why Ethan was asking her father about this. She had already found out that she was not Philo and Sybil's biological daughter. This was just the reason why Sybil had never treated her well.

However, she didn't know what all this had to do with Ethan.
