Heart Hunting novel Chapter 25

In the evening, the setting sun dyes the sky red, and the sunset clouds are extremely beautiful, as if they are cheering for what happened today.

Arno comes to Poppy's office with a smile on his face. Looking at his face, Poppy asks curiously, "what's so funny?"

"Ethel's in the hospital," Arno comes to tell her as soon as he received the news.

"What's going on? Jean did it?"

"Ethel found Jean after reading the report in the morning. But she couldn't beat Jean, instead, she was beaten bad, almost like a pig’s head. According to the hospital, her nose is all crooked."

The Greens family seals this matter to death. Arno knows about it through his friend who works in the hospital.

"Ha-ha..."Poppy laughs happily, she says sarcastically," she dares to fight with Jean by herself? She deserved it!"

"I didn't expect Jean to be so fierce. In order to repay her, I must help her win the inheritance case."

"Don't you worry that the Greens will accuse Jean of assault to personal injury?" Arno is worried that if something goes wrong, it will spread to her, and the Greens will know that she's back.

Poppy firmly shakes her head. "I've lived with them for 10 years. I know them so well. They love face, so they will never say it out, but they will definitely revenge, even if not now!"

Arno frowns a little, and he doesn’t say anything.

"Jean is not a easy person, either. They can fight with each other if they like. Anyway, it's all in the future." Poppy keeps herself staying completely out of it now. By then, the Greens family will be in her hand.

"Oh, by the way, which hospital is Ethel in?"

"Municipal People's hospital." Arno says casually. Then he feels something wrong and asks nervously, "what are you going to do?"

Poppy's eyes are full of cunning. "You said she's like a pig's head. So of course, I have to take a picture of her, make benefits for the people and let everyone appreciate that what does a pig's head look like?"

Arno immediately disagrees with her. "No, it's too dangerous."

"I'm not trying to escape from a jail. What's the danger?" Poppy doesn’t think so.

"What if you were recognized in the hospital? Don't forget that you are back to China in secret. At this time, it's not suitable to expose yourself." Arno worries about her personal safety, so he seeks stability in everything.

"Don't worry, I'll cover myself. I still have this little skill." Before meeting Arno, she had been avoiding the killers sent by Hilda all year round. It's a common practice to cover herself escape.

Arno doesn't speak. His eyebrows frown tightly. But Poppy's eyes are stubborn. She keeps fighting with him by eye contact. At last, Arno is defeated and sighed, "OK, but you must pay attention to your safety."

"Of course!" Poppy's beautiful eyes fills with the setting sunlight, which is so beautiful that makes Arno almost lose his mind.

In the evening, poppy gets to the hospital.

She walks into the hospital with her eyes alert, in case of meeting people of the Greens. When she comes to the lobby of the inpatient department, she asks about the ward Ethel in.

When she comes to the inpatient ward of the orthopedic department on the 7th floor, Poppy wonders, has Ethel hurt her bone besides her face?

It happens to be the meal time. When she passes the duty room, she finds that the doctor is not in. She goes in and takes a white gown, and puts on a mouth-muffle to pretend to be a doctor.

She walks all the way down the corridor and finally stops at Ethel's ward.

Looking through the window at the door, there is no one else in it. Only Ethel is lying on the bed having infusion. She should be sleeping because she is quiet. Poppy raises a smile under the mouth-muffle. She pushes the door and walks in cautiously.

When she comes to the bedside, she takes out her mobile phone and points it at a good angle, and then takes a picture of Ethel's face. Her nose is wrapped in white yarn. And the corner of her mouth is swollen, while the left and right cheeks look seriously asymmetric.

Poppy stands quietly beside the the bed and watches at Ethel's face, feeling very delighted.

Ethel, you deserve it! She thinks.

With a sneer, she puts her cell phone in her pocket and turns away from the ward.

There is no one in the corridor. She takes off her mouth-muffle and is about to return the white coat back to the duty room. But unexpectedly, she is dragged to the corner.

Before she can react, she has already been pushed to the corner. "You..."

She is surprised and then frowns. Why would she meet Kenny here at this time?

Kenny looks at her with interest. "Are you here being an actress?"

Poppy figures out the teasing in his words. She chuckles and shakes her mouth-muffle. "Yes, I'm here to be an actress and visit my good sister."

"So are you happy?" Kenny connives at the gossip caused by her, but he didn't expected that she didn't say even a word about it.

"More than happy. But I think you better not to look at her when she is like that. After all, you may face her for a long time in the future, it may make you feel sick every day."

"What if I face you every day?"

"Face me?" She boldly moves her hand down to his lower body. "Then I'm afraid it's not your stomach will feel sick. but your little bro will ‘be sick because of too full’."

Kenny grabs her hands. "You little fox, you really have the ability to peel the skin and tear the flesh."

Poppy smiles and replies, "more than that, I can also poison you to death, fascinate you to death, or even cheerful to death in bed."

She pushes him away, and plans to leave.

"Sister Poppy?" At this time, there is someone calls Poppy's name excitedly. Poppy turns around and is hugged.

A young and vivacious face appears in front of Poppy's eyes, "sister poppy, you are not dead. You are really back!"

Kenny hears her words. He feels there must be some stories. He looks around and drags them to the stairwell.
