A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1537 Revenge

At the crack of dawn, Philo, who was lying on an empty bed in the corner of the ward, opened his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't sleep that night. As a result, he simply closed his eyes and waited for the sun to come up.

On the other hand, Ethan also didn't get any sleep. He tried his best not to bother Estelle since he was sitting right next to her bed. The only time he moved around was when he felt the warmth of the sun on his skin.

Ethan stood up and cleaned the whole ward. At that point, Estelle was still deeply asleep. With the thought that she might get hungry when she woke up, Ethan went downstairs, bought a lot of food, and brought it back upstairs.

When everything was settled, Ethan walked up to Philo and sincerely said, “Mr. Wang, I have something to deal with today. Please take care of Estelle for me. Thank you.“

Right at that very moment, Ethan made a promise to himself to resolve all of his problems that day.

Philo was a little peeved by his request and thought, 'I don't need this young man to tell me what to do. Besides, Estelle is my daughter and I know how to take care of her.' With a simple blank stare, Philo casually replied, “Go ahead.“

His response gave Ethan a sense of relief. Without wasting another second, he went downstairs and hailed a taxi right outside the hospital, heading for Shane's house.

Upon arriving, Ethan stood at the door and knocked multiple times. Unfortunately, even after almost an hour had passed, there was still no response from inside the house. That being said, Ethan remained somewhat calm. He knew what kind of person Shane was and was sure that his subordinate was still sleeping. With a casual look on his face, Ethan picked up his phone and called him.

“Hey, when are you going to wake up? Can you come to the door already? I've been standing here for ages,“ Ethan said in a mildly annoyed tone.

In less than a minute, the door finally opened. Shane stood in front of Ethan, looking like he was still half-asleep. Although he knew it was his boss, he was still a little surprised to see him there. 'Why did he come here so early?' Shane asked himself.

Ethan didn't bother greeting him and immediately walked into the living room. He didn't even wait for Shane to invite him in. When Shane followed him inside, Ethan gave his orders for that day. “Pack up your things and tell everyone to come here.“

Shane was still a little distraught at that moment. However, seeing the serious expression on Ethan's face woke him up in a matter of seconds. After that, he quickly replied, “Yes boss!“ He ran as fast as he could into the other room and prepared everything he needed.

Even though Ethan had given him such a simple order, Shane knew exactly what he was going to do that day.

Meanwhile, Bill had just woken up and was in a very relaxed mood. He was even humming a cheerful tune while cleaning his face in the bathroom.

The sun shined so brightly outside of his window and it cheered him up even more. 'Today is definitely a good day, ' Bill thought to himself.

Just when he was about to tidy up his hair, one of his men stumbled outside his door and exclaimed in a panic, “Boss! Boss!“

“What's wrong?“ Bill asked with a displeased expression on his face. When he was met with no answer, he spoke again but with an irritated tone. “Stop panicking and tell me what happened already! Did a volcano erupt or was there an earthquake?“

“Neither boss! It's E—“

Before Bill's henchman could finish his words, a frigid and slightly dreadful voice came to his mind. The voice felt quite familiar and it spooked him a little.

However, before Bill could gather his thoughts, an unknown man suddenly appeared and was standing right outside his door.

Bill's henchman was scared for his life and quickly hurried behind Bill. Bill wanted to get to the bottom of this and walked outside to get a closer look. To his surprise, it was Ethan, standing outside with his chest puffed out. Behind him were more than a dozen men with weapons in hand.

“It's time for you to die!“ Ethan wrathfully uttered word by word while gritting his teeth. His rage-filled eyes stared at Bill, just like a lion stalking its prey.

“Wow! What a great-looking entourage you've brought with you,“ Bill greeted him, seeming completely unfazed. He even had the confidence to take a handkerchief to wipe his hands dry. “I haven't seen you in a few days but look at you now! You seem much stronger than before!“ he sarcastically uttered while acting like he was caught off-guard. Shortly after, he squinted his eyes at Ethan, as if he was saying he wasn't going to back down.

“Oh, please,“ Ethan sneered and waved his hand. His men understood this simple gesture and rushed inside like a pack of wolves.

Realizing that he was greatly outnumbered, Bill finally panicked and shouted at his henchman, “Go and get me some backup!“ Bill's subordinate ran past all of Ethan's men to call for help. Ethan didn't bother to order his men to stop him and decided to handle it by himself. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In a matter of seconds, Ethan managed to grab him by his collar and slam him to the ground. Bill's henchman hit the floor face-first and caused him to have a nosebleed.

“You're useless!“ Bill angrily shouted at his man when he saw him getting caught. A few moments later, Ethan's men surrounded Bill and pummeled him to the ground.

Hearing the ruckus inside, the rest of Bill's henchmen rushed over to help. However, they were still greatly outnumbered by Ethan's men. A few of Ethan's subordinates handled Bill's men while a few continued to beat up Bill.

In a span of minutes, the four men were beaten black and blue and left lying on the ground. They looked so pitiful and useless that Ethan didn't even consider them worthy of his gaze. Instead, he focused his eyes on the person in front of him that he hated the most.

Bill was left on the ground and gasping for air. Although he was a good fighter, fighting that many men was pretty much impossible to overcome. With no other options in mind, Bill could only look outside the door and hope that the rest of his men would come to his aid.

Ethan saw this and squatted down to meet Bill's pitiful eyes. A smug look appeared on Ethan's face since he knew exactly what was going on inside Bill's mind. With a taunting voice, he said, “Why hasn't anyone come? That's what you're thinking, right? Unfortunately for you, we dealt with them before coming here. As for the four men, they got lucky and slipped through our nets.“

Everything looked bleak for Bill at that moment since he was still surrounded by Ethan's men. Ethan looked straight into his eyes while rubbing his shoes on the ground. Horrifying thoughts started to fill Bill's mind. He didn't know what was going to happen to him anymore. As a result, he didn't dare to look into Ethan's eyes again.

Without saying a word, Ethan stood right in front of Bill and punched him on the left shoulder. The pain was so excruciating that it almost felt like his bones were fractured. Bill was just about to shout for help but another punch came straight to his gut. This punch made him gasp for air. He inhaled through his nose but the only thing he felt was his own blood.

Despite everything that happened to Bill, Ethan still had something more sinister in mind. 'Doesn't Bill like hurting people with knives? Now's probably the best time to give him a taste of what that feels like.'

Ethan slowly took out a knife from his back pocket and waved it in front of Bill's eyes. Bill tried his best to get away, but Ethan's men pinned him to the ground even more.

With a cold-hearted look on his face, Ethan raised Bill's left arm and asked his men to hold it in place. While looking straight into Bill's eyes, Ethan stabbed Bill in the arm without hesitating. He did it with so much force that the knife went right through and could be seen on the other side.

“Ahhh!“ Bill screamed in anguish. Blood gushed from his arm and his bones inside were visible to the naked eye. The look on his face was exactly like Estelle on the day she had gotten hurt.

When Ethan was finally finished, he sneered in disdain. He slammed Bill on the floor, threw the bloody dagger on the ground, and smoothed his clothes. The blade hitting the hard ground caused a crisp and chilling sound.

A few moments later, Ethan wiped off the blood on his hands and looked at Bill once again. He then said word by word, “From now on, I, Ethan, will always be your enemy!“

When he was finished, he turned around and kicked Bill on the floor. He walked away without even looking back at Bill. Ethan's men released Bill and followed him outside, leaving Bill heavily bleeding from his arm.

Realizing that they were finally safe, one of Bill's men struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled to Bill. He grabbed Bill's right arm and asked, “Boss, aren't we going to chase him?“

“Fuck off! What do you think I can do if we catch him? Do you really think I can still fight back like this?“ Bill exclaimed in anger at his men. His nose stopped bleeding but his roar caused his arm to get worse.
