Chapter 977
For the past year, Estelle had been popping pills and avoiding spicy foods like the plague. Emily had
been busting her chops to whip up tasty yet light dishes, which not only keep Estelle’s palate happy but
also take Emily’s cooking skills to a whole new level.
After supper, Estelle hung out with Kya for a bit. When she saw that Kya was starting to look pooped,
she headed upstairs to hit the sack.
She took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and picked up where she left off in her book from the
previous day
Just when she was about to call it a night around 10 PM, a call from Henson threw a wrench in her
plans. From the sound of his voice, he seemed to be in a pickle. “Ms. Macclain!” he hollered.
Estelle sprang to her feet, “Henson, what’s the matter?”
“My uncle is running a fever and there’s no one at home. Can you swing by?” Henson asked, his voice
laced with urgency
Estelle frowned, “Isn’t he in the hospital?”
“He was discharged at noon. He seemed fine in the afternoon. When he didn’t respond to my calls, I
checked on him only to find him burning up. Henson explained Estelle quickly asked, “Where’s his
family doctor? Call him right away”
“The doctor’s here, but my uncle is refusing to take his medicine, Henson replied.
Estelle’s face darkened, “What is he, a kid? Acting so immature!”
“Ms. Macclain, can you come over? He’s really burning up and I’m scared,” Henson’s voice started to–
choke
Estelle quickly assured him, “Alright, I’m on my way. Try to get him to take his medicine.”
“Okay, hurry up!” Henson urgednovelxo.com fast update
After hanging up. Estelle quickly changed, grabbed her phone and car keys, and dashed out the door.
She hopped into the elevator and hit the button for the ground floor. Stepping out of her building, the
night breeze whooshed through her car window and kissed her face She halted the car, gazed at the
tranquil night, and her eyes began to clear.
A few minutes later, Estelle dialed Charlie’s number.
“Charlie, are you asleep? Sorry for bugging you this late,” she said.
Charlie chuckled, “I’d never get mad at a call from you.”
Estelle cracked a small smile, “Did Jonathan get discharged?”
“Yes, he couldn’t stand the hospital Complained about the bed being uncomfortable and went home at
noon,” Charlie answered.
Estelle took a deep breath, “He’s running a fever now. His family doctor is there but he’s refusing to
take his medicine. Henson is at his wit’s end and called me. But can’t really go. Can you check on
him?”
There was a pause on the other end. “Why is he acting like a kid again? If Henson asked you, you can
definitely handle him. What’s holding you back?”
Estelle held her breath for a moment, then said, “He has a girlfriend. It’s not appropriate for me to go
over this late”
“A girlfriend?” Charlie questioned, “You’re talking about Gwen?”
Thats right,” Estelle replied.
Charlie let out a chuckle, “Okay, I’m heading over. I’ll make him take his medicine, even if I have tonovelbin
force him
“Thank you, Charlie,” said Estelle.
“You’re welcome,” Charlie replied with a laugh.
Suddenly, Estelle remembered something, “Henson originally asked me to go but I’m inconveniencing
you, so I…”
Charlie chuckled, “I didn’t think much about it. No need to explain more.”
Estelle let out a sigh, I’m hanging up now!
After the call, Estelle leaned back in her chair, feeling a bit peeved. Was she a bit too eager just now?
Why was she so frantic? If he didn’t want to take his medicine, what was it to her?
Actually, she felt a bit guilty. After all, Jonathan got hurt protecting her. If it weren’t for him, she might be
the one lying in the hospital.
Her anxiousness was just due to worrying that Henson would be flustered home alone
Having come to this realization, Estelle felt a bit better. She turned the car around, deciding to head
back home and get some shut–eye.
