Chapter 40: Investigation

"Miss Earlene, tell me... Did anything strange happen while I was in the cocoon? Anything? Even if it's the smallest of things." Ethan asked as he sat on the usual sofa chair in his room. 

Earlene sighed helplessly and asked, "Will you tell me what's this about? So that I can at least have a context?" 

Ethan stared at her without any expression for a few seconds and pondered. 

"Did anything strange happen with my uncle recently?" Ethan asked cautiously not revealing what he was getting at only revealing a vague context. 

Earlene did not know whatever that was going on in Ethan's head. She once again sighed hopelessly and raised her chin and revised everything that happened in those ten days. 

After a few seconds, she said, "I don't think anything significant happened except that I didn't see him much in the later days of that time."
