The secretary walked out of the door alone. As soon as she left, Emily's gaze turned to the files on the table, her mind blank. Despite Estelle's mistakes in the past, she had been working diligently and twice as hard ever since she had come back to the company. Why hadn't she shown up today?

Emily had no idea about what had happened. But she knew that she didn't have time to think too much, so she just returned to work for the meantime. Buried in some paperwork and things to do in the office, she didn't think about Estelle again until lunch time. Back in the day, Estelle had been very fond of Emily, so she had always accompanied her at work. But with Estelle absent, Emily felt uncomfortable walking through the halls of the building. It was not the same as when she was with Estelle. She felt like her heart had dropped to the ground and she was unable to pick it up. Not today. Not without Estelle.

In the middle of her lunch, Emily stopped eating as an idea came to her. She wasn't sure what she would get out of it but she just wanted to do something. So, Emily took out her cell phone and decided to call Estelle. She did it several times, hearing nothing but the dial tone and the operator saying that the number could not be reached. Defeated, she sighed. It did not make her feel any better.

She stared at the phone screen, her thoughts still on Estelle. 'Could she be in trouble?' she wondered. As if a light suddenly turned on in her mind, she instantly thought of something. Ethan. She fumbled through her phone and dialed Ethan's number. She had to try him. He must know something.

With her mind racing and her heart beating fast, she waited for him to answer.

She drew a breath as soon as he picked up. "Ethan, thank God! Do you know where Estelle is? What happened to her? Why didn't she come to work today? I'm worried about her," Emily said, going straight to the point directly. There was no reason to sugarcoat anything. She needed information and she hoped that Ethan could help her.

"Wait. Who— Emily?" Ethan asked, as he recognized Emily's voice a little late. "Yes, it's me. Do you know where Estelle is?" Emily asked, her voice not faltering this time. She needed answers.

Suddenly remembering something, Ethan muttered a light curse and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to ask for leave for Estelle." Ethan sighed and kept apologizing.

While Emily was a little relieved that Ethan knew where Estelle was, she was still worried. "What happened to her?" she asked.

Ethan realized that he had to tell Emily the truth so that she would no longer worry. Emily deserved to know the truth since Estelle was her friend too. "She's... She's in the hospital," he said.

Although Emily knew that something must have happened to her friend, it was still uncomfortable to hear that she was hurt. "What?! She's injured? Why didn't you protect her?" Emily wanted to scream at Ethan for not taking care of Estelle better. He knuckles almost turned white and her face was a little red because of anger. But she realized that she had nothing to say to him anymore, so before Ethan could make excuses, she hung up

lle's cheeks. "But then again, why is that Bill always staring at your Ethan?"

Emily couldn't help but ask. All of a sudden, she started asking questions especially since Ethan had somehow mentioned it casually. She didn't know how Estelle had gotten hurt or what was even going on, so she wanted answers.

Curiosity fit Emily really well. Estelle found it a good look on Emily, so she chuckled. But eventually, she told Emily the things she wanted to know. She told her everything, starting from the last time Bill had tried to force Ethan into giving up his forces all the way up to now, when Bill had tried to hurt them both.

Bombarded with a lot of things at once, Emily tried to process every single detail slowly. "Ah, Really?" she asked. Crunching her face in a disdainful look, Emily teased Estelle, "Oh, my God! I still can't figure out why this old man named Bill is so abnormal and disgusting..."

Estelle could not help but laugh out loud at Emily's words. "Well, if you look at it like that...it's true! That's exactly what he is."

Emily's eyes widened as she pretended to be shocked. "Wow... then you have to be careful outside." She pouted again, but then said seriously, "Stay away from that Bill. Just please have a good rest."

Estelle was happy that Emily cared this much. She smiled and nodded. "Okay," she replied in a sweet voice, feeling as if the knot in her heart had been removed all of a sudden.

For Estelle, what had happened in the past with Emily had always been an open wound that could not heal. And now that they had somehow resolved this conflict, she felt truly happy. Despite her arm physically hurting, a heavy feeling in her heart had gone away.

In the ward, the two girls were talking and laughing, sharing the stories they had missed. Their loud voices cheered up the other people in the hospital as well.

The knot in the two girls' hearts that they had kept all this time was slowly untied by communication.

Estelle was hurt but Emily had found her anyway, and their friendship had never been better. Today seemed to be a good day.
