A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1554 Getting Better

“All right, I will go and check with the doctor.“

The doctor had seen Ethan several times and was familiar with him already. He knew that Ethan was a bit impatient but that he treated his girlfriend quite well. All the staff members of the hospital already knew that Ethan and Estelle were lovers.

“She can be discharged now,“ the doctor informed Ethan, who seemed anxious. “Mr. Gu, please don't worry. I assure you that Miss Wang is in a stable condition. She can go home and get some rest,“ he said in a comforting manner.

“I see.“ Ethan nodded. “What should I look out for after she is discharged from the hospital?“

The doctor patiently shared some dos and don'ts with him. He also suggested foods that were suitable for Estelle to eat. Ethan eagerly wrote down all of the information that the doctor had told him. The doctor couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle at the sight of Ethan fussing over Estelle's condition. He admired how much Ethan loved his girlfriend.

After he left the doctor's office, Ethan regained his usual composure and called his assistant to arrange a car for him at the hospital.

When Ethan went back into the room, Estelle had already changed into her normal clothes. “Let's go!“ she exclaimed.

“Hold on a second!“ Ethan stopped her and put on a coat for her. “It's cold outside. I know you can't stand the wind. I've already asked my assistant to get us a car. It'll be here soon.“

Used to his stubbornness, Estelle knew that she couldn't change his mind. So, she had no choice but to wait. “By the way, I arranged a new place for you. I don't think Bill will give up. I will deal with him. If I don't, I'll just end up worrying about you constantly,“ Ethan reminded.

The event at the airport had affected them both. Estelle knew that her getting injured was a traumatizing experience for him. She didn't protest and just nodded in agreement. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

The two of them hugged each other and savored each second of it. When the assistant came to the room, he noticed that that the door was not closed, so he let himself in. He saw Ethan and his girlfriend happily talking while embracing each other. Anyone who saw the scene would surely admire and envy the love they had for each other. Before Ethan had called him, the assistant had been attending to some other business matters. However, he had immediately come to fetch them when Ethan informed him how important it was.

The assistant thought to himself, 'If it weren't for the fact that there is no landing pad for a helicopter at the new place that he has arranged for her, I'm sure Mr. Gu would have opted for riding in a helicopter instead.' It was clear that he cared a lot about Estelle. Nowadays, it was rare to find a man as devoted as Ethan.

“Mr. Gu, I'm here,“ his assistant announced in a low voice. When Ethan heard his voice, he gently let go of Estelle. He cleared his throat and said, “Okay, I know.“

Then, he turned to Estelle and said, “Let's go. I'll carry you.“ Without waiting for a response from the woman in front of him, Ethan scooped her up and carried her in his arms.

To be honest, Estelle thought that he was overreacting a little bit. She was fine enough to walk on her own, but Ethan insisted. She could only hide her red face in his chest.

While Ethan was walking with Estelle in his arms, many people in the hospital stared at them with either curiosity or envy. It wasn't every day that they would see such a scene in front of them. Estelle felt very embarrassed by others looking at her, so she buried her face in Ethan's strong chest and pretended that she didn't exist. On the other hand, Ethan didn't seem to mind other people's opinions at all. He held her safely in his arms and walked slowly. The assistant kept his distance as he followed

them. He was afraid that he might bump into the couple if he was too close and cause Ethan to lose his balance.

When they arrived at the parking lot, they went straight to the car arranged by Ethan. The recreational vehicle was unique because it was a limited edition luxury brand. The car was also surrounded by their bodyguards' cars. Estelle's eyes widened at the scene in front of her.

She shyly tugged at Ethan's sleeve and asked, “Who are these people?“

Ethan looked at her with a gentle smile. He still had a lingering fear that Bill would attack them out of the blue again. Now, to protect the love of his life, he needed to be prepared for anything. “I've hired some bodyguards for you. So, you can feel safe and I can stop worrying all the time,“ he explained.

Understanding Ethan's intention, Estelle just nodded. There were so many bodyguards around them that it wasn't a surprise when people started gathering around them. Some people around them even took out their mobile phones to take photos. They probably thought that there was a celebrity showing up.

When they arrived at the new place, Estelle's eyes lit up with joy. Ethan truly knew her. The decorations were wonderful and up to her standards. The gesture warmed Estelle's heart.

On the other side, Taylor called Louis immediately after she got off work.

“Hello, Taylor. Is there something wrong? Are you done with work? Shall I pick you up?“ Louis quickly asked a string of questions when he picked up the phone. Louis had also just gotten off work and was eagerly waiting for Taylor's phone call.

When Taylor heard Louis's gentle voice, her fatigue from working all day just disappeared. She immediately felt energized. She was shopping around to purchase some of his and Scott's favorite

dishes in the supermarket, so she replied, “You don't have to pick me up. I'm at the supermarket right now. Let's go to Scott's apartment later and visit him.“

Taylor picked up some healthy food and snacks helpful for Scott's current treatment.

After she paid the cashier, she noticed Louis's car parked in the parking lot outside the supermarket. Louis hadn't asked his driver to drive him to Scott's place. Instead, he had driven there by himself, but stopped by at the supermarket to pick up Taylor. He greeted her when she got out and helped her put the things in the trunk.

“Why are you picking me up? Didn't I tell you to head straight to Scott's place?“

With a charming smile, Louis casually replied, “I couldn't wait to see you.“

This wasn't the first time that Louis had uttered such sweet words to Taylor, so she was used to it. She smiled fondly at him, but didn't respond. Ever since she and Louis had gotten together, she had felt like she understood him more. He could be a little clingy at times, but she didn't mind.

The nurse that Louis had hired was playing games with Scott when they knocked on the door. Once they were inside, the nurse left the three of them alone. Taylor went to say hello to Scott and gave him a big smile. “Scott, how are you feeling today?“

Scott nodded at her, and then turned to Louis. Scott's eyes were full of trust as he looked at Louis. He called out in a sweet voice, “Brother.“

Louis patted his head and said gently, “Hey, Scott. What do you want to eat today? Taylor and I will cook for you.“

Scott listed his favorite dishes one by one. Afterwards, he kept quiet again and just focused on playing with his toys. Meanwhile, Taylor and Louis went to the kitchen to cook. Noticing that Scott's recovery

was going well, Louis let out a sigh of relief.

Taylor understood their deep connection and patted his shoulder to comfort him. “Don't worry. Scott's situation will be better soon. Last time, he finally testified that Bill was the murderer. It's a good thing. It means he's slowly changing for the better. He is gradually moving on from what happened in the past. One day, he will be perfectly fine and be able to live a normal life,“ Taylor explained carefully.

“Hmm. Thank you, Taylor. I agree with you. He is getting better every day. I'm glad,“ he replied with a toothless smile. At least, he was willing to talk to them now.

When they finished cooking dinner, Louis called out for Scott to come out. However, there was no answer from the latter. Frowning, he went to the bedroom and then the study room to check, but he didn't find him. A bad feeling came over Louis, and he immediately rushed to the bathroom.

The situation that he found was quite upsetting. The whole bathroom was wet. Scott was silently washing his hands while staring at the faucet blankly. It seemed that he was unaware that the bathroom was slowly flooding.

Louis ran to him, squatted down, and worriedly asked, “Scott, what's wrong? Can you tell me?“

“Brother, I'm fine.“ As if being brought back to reality, Scott blinked up at him. “I'm just washing my hands.“

“Well, let me help you then.“ Louis washed his hands and dried them up. “Dinner's ready. Let's go to the dining room.“

There was no response from Scott. He just lowered his head and followed him. Taylor couldn't help but feel strange either as she observed the two of them. During the dinner, Taylor and Louis took care of Scott as usual. Scott kept his head down the whole time. Sensing that something was wrong, Taylor glanced at Louis with a confused expression. She motioned for him to calm down.
