Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel 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 urged.

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.
