Heart Hunting

Chapter 53

Poppy drives from behind. They have just witnessed the accident from a distance. The mistakes of one

car dragged everyone else down.

"Let's go the side road. It's impossible for us to go straight ahead." Poppy lights the right-hand light and

is about to turn when she sees a lady being helped out of a car difficultly by the driver. She brakes with

a rush and even Arno is taken aback by her behavior. "what's wrong?"

"That... That's Kenny's mother." Poppy looks at Mrs. Murphy's forehead not far away. Her forehead is

covered by blood, and the blood is still running down line by line. The scene is quite shocking.

"Do we need to..."

Arno hasn't finished yet, but Poppy has unbuckled her seat belt and ran there.

Arno feels a little upset. He follows behind.

Poppy runs up and looks at Mrs. Murphy. "Mrs. Murphy, are you OK?"

Mrs. Murphy's spirit is very poor. She looks at Poppy faintly and is about to say something. But she falls

on Poppy with unconscious before she can say anything.

Poppy turns around and immediately shoulders her up. Arno comes over and suggests, "let me help

you."

"No, you drive. We need to reach the nearest hospital right away." Poppy says and speeds up again.

With Arno's help, she takes Mrs. Murphy to the back seat and lies her down. Then she sits on her side.

Arno drives ahead to the hospital.

Mrs. Murphy has been in a semi coma state. Her head hurts so much that she can't actually pass out,

but she keeps murmuring, "it hurts, my head hurts so bad!"

Poppy keeps comforting her, "hold on, Mrs. Murphy. We'll be at the hospital soon."

"You mustn't fall asleep."

"Arno, drive faster! " Poppy looks out the window at the retreating streetscape and urges.

...

In the quiet ward, the fragrant lily is bathing in the sunshine by the window. The white curtain is waved

by the wind, and the strong smell of disinfectant water can't be ignored. The man standing in front of

the bed is like a mountain. He looks with worried at Mrs. Murphy on bed.

Kenny rushed over when he received Poppy's call. At that time, Mrs. Murphy was still in treatment.

Poppy didn't leave until Mrs. Murphy is out of the emergency room.

He will never forget that Poppy was covered in blood. And even her small white face was red with NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

bright blood. He feels, however, that she is extremely beautiful in that look.

Mrs. Murphy slowly opens her eyes. All she sees are white. She looks at Kenny on the side of the bed,

and the scene of the accident starts to gather in her mind.

She was sent to the hospital by that little fox spirit, but where is she?

"Mom, how do you feel?" Kenny adjusts the angle of the head of the bed so that Mrs. Murphy is half

lying on the bed. And then he pours a glass of water for her.

After two sips, Mrs. Murphy is finally able to speak. She asks at first, "where's she?"

"She's left."

"So irresponsible, how could she ran away after sending me to hospital? Doesn't she care about how I

am?" Mrs. Murphy looks around and doesn't find Poppy.

Kenny explains, "mom, her clothes are stained by your blood. The doctor said you're OK when you

came out of the emergency room. So I let her go back to take a bath and change clothes."

"Really? Fine." Mrs. Murphy nods her head proudly.

Kenny looks at his mother who is eager to find Poppy. He smiles, "mom, why are so eager to find her?

You are not going to interrogate her, are you?"

Mrs. Murphy lies leisurely on the bed, smoothing the folds of the quilt. "I've figured it out clearly in her

car. Don't think I was really dizzy. I heard them talking."

"There was another man in the car. They said something about the law on the way. The man should be

a lawyer."

Kenny immediately thinks of Arno and says, "that's the boss of her law firm."

"Boss?" Mrs. Murphy don't understand, "why is she in a law firm?"

Kenny then just realizes that he has never told his mother about Poppy's family background. He

doesn't need to hide it from her. Kenny says, "Your so-called 'little fox' is a female lawyer. Do you

remember the company's high-profile infringement case some time ago? It was she who let your son

lose 70 million dollars!"

"What?" Mrs. Murphy is so surprised at the truth that she shows an exaggerated expression.

She's that capable? Mrs. Murphy thought at first that the girl was just an ordinary white-collar worker at

best. She doesn't expect that Poppy is a lawyer and even so capable.

Mrs. Murphy sighs, looking at Kenny, she feels disappointed and nags, "no wonder she isn't into you.

She is so capable, and there must be many pursuers around her. How would be interested in you!"

Kenny doesn't know whether to laugh or cry as he hears it. "Mom, I'm your son. Would you stop

humiliate your son?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Mrs. Murphy looks at him, and then just closes her eyes and ignores him.

Kenny feels depressed. How would he be a loser in his mother's eyes?

"Mom, just wait and see. I'll get that little goblin one day." That little goblin keeps challenging his

authority one time after another. He will make her behave like a kitten in his palm sooner or later.

Mrs. Murphy shakes her head gently. "It would be not so easy."
