Heart Hunting

Chapter 75

It's the midnight.

Kenny, entrusted by his mother, doesn't dare to delay. After dinner, he immediately drives to Times

apartment. Thirty minutes later, he parks his car and takes the food box to Poppy's house.

After ringing the doorbell for a long while, the door opens just as he is about to give Poppy a phone

call.

Poppy is wearing pajamas, with long hair on her chest, and her face is still very pale. She doesn't look

as energetic as usual.

She is so surprised to see Kenny here. “Why do you come here?” She asks.

Kenny raises the food box in his hand. "My mom asked me to bring you fish soup."

Poppy's feeling is a little complicated, but she doesn't say anything. She opens the door to let him in.

The loose pajamas makes her look a little bit emaciated. From the back, she looks even thinner.

After he opens the food box, he asks, "still painful now?"

"I'm fine." Her voice is a little light and sounds very weak.

"Have some fish soup first!" Kenny goes to the kitchen and takes her a bowl and chopsticks.

Poppy drinks the soup quietly. Maybe because she is still uncomfortable, she doesn't speak much.

Kenny looks at her. He hesitates for a while, and says, "we have cut off the cooperation with the

Greens."

"I see." Poppy doesn't care much. This kind of thing should have nothing to do with her.

His eyes flickers with light. "I will help you in whatever you want to do in the future, even if you want to

kill someone.."

At first, she doesn't pay much attention to his words, but the more he says, the more confused she is.

She looks at him with her side eyes, "why do you suddenly change?"

Even expression in his eyes when he looks at her is different. It's...pity?

"I thought you were sent abroad by Hilda and Bryant just to take refuge. But the truth is not. I won't let

you suffer from starve or coldness for any longer. I will help you get revenge to those people who have

hurt you!"

Poppy's face expression changes suddenly from the consternation to disgust after hearing. "You

investigated me?"

He could say that only because that he has made a clear investigation of her life abroad. But how could

he do that? Did he get her permission?

Even herself doesn't want to recalls that memory, how could he tore her scar...

"I just want to know more about you. I don’t..."

Poppy slaps her chopsticks on the table. She is in a rage and shouts at him, "get out!"

The mood in her eyes is complex. She is manic and helpless, but moreover, she's grieved.

Yes, that memory is a lifetime pain for her. Why does he mention these things in the presence of her.

Kenny feels baffled by her anger. "Can you please calm down? I meant no harm."

"Yes, you meant no harm. But you don't know that your words are like a knife." Poppy doesn't say the

rest words, that is, your words hurt me all over. She says coldly, "now you know what kind of woman I

am!"

Poppy laughs bitterly. In those days when there was no dignity, she was not even an ant.

Kenny can't react for a moment. He doesn't expect that she would be so steamed up about it.

"Yeah, I'm a total bad woman. I stole, I fought, and I even lived in the red light district for several

months. Do you know what the red light district is?"

Poppy's eyes turn red. "That's a place for prostitutes. I'm that kind of lascivious woman."

"I know you can't help it, and these have already..."

"Get out of here!" Poppy pushes Kenny. There's hatred in her heart. And she let out all the bad

emotions on him.

The warm atmosphere around the living room is gone. Kenny clasps her hand and says, "Poppy, I don't

care about your past."

Only out of curiosity did he investigate her previous affairs. He didn't expect the truth to be so

surprising.

Poppy sneers and stares at him. "Kenny, what's your qualification to say these words to me? I've

finished using you now. I don't want to play the game any more. Get out!"

Some words don't really come from her heart, but she just can't control herself when she is so angry.

"Poppy, what do you think I am? You want to get rid of me after making use of me?”

Poppy ignores him and sit in the chair, not knowing what to say.

In Kenny opinion, her anger is too inexplicable. It's just an investigation. What's the big deal? Does she

really have to be so angry?

"I cut off the cooperation with the Greens for you, and you even make a stink face to me?" Kenny is

confused.

He also becomes a little angry. They two are at a stalemate in the dinning room, and do not give way to

each other.

Poppy feels tired. She doesn't want to explain more. And she turns away her head. "I don't need your

pity. Get out!"

Kenny responds in a cold voice, "Poppy, you'll regret it."

After saying, he leaves without looking back.

When she hears the loud door slamming, she finally calms down.

Looking at the food, she now doesn't have the desire to taste it. Poppy carries a cigarette case, and Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

goes to the balcony.

She lights her cigarette and enjoys the loneliness. In this lonely night, only cigarettes can release her

sorrow.

The smoke covers her delicate face, along with those sad eyes. Everyone has embarrassing

memories, but Poppy just couldn't control her mood. She doesn't know why she would lose her temper

tonight.

Her life in that period that Kenny investigated is the last she wants to remember. In those days, she

was as humble as an ant. In order to survive and avoid the chase, she stole deliberately so that the

police could put her in detention. Because she would be safe there.

And in order to take refuge, she did spend a period of time in the red-light district. She almost regarded

as a prostitute, and was trampled on the ground by the soldiers. These unbearable memories makes

her heart load.

She desperately wants to forget this memory of the dirty life. Later, with Arno's help, at least she

doesn't have to live so hard. But who knows Kenny would let her pick up all the memories tonight.

Poppy lights up another cigarette. She looks far into the misty night sky. There's a deep loneliness in

her eyes.

Emotion is a double-edged sword. Positive emotions can make you expand your passion and improve

your work efficiency. However, negative emotions can hurt others and yourself, resulting in a situation

of both sides losing.

Kenny speeds all the way. Even he runs all the red lights and is photographed by the monitoring for

several times, he doesn't care.

When he gets home, Mrs. Murphy is surprised to see him come back. And she is even more surprised

at his stink face.

"Kenny, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Murphy is confused. He just took the food to Poppy, what

happened?Looking at his expression, Mrs. Murphy asks, "do you quarrel with her?"

"Hum!" Kenny snorts and doesn't want to answer.

Mrs. Murphy sighs, "I thought you would stay at her house and wouldn't come back tonight. Were you

kicked out?"

She was trying to find a reason for Kenny to approach Poppy and please her. But she didn’t expect

things to be like that.

"She gets her period." Kenny doesn't want to explain much to his mother. He goes into the bedroom

directly.

Mrs. Murphy got it. She follows him and says, "Kenny, you should take good care of the woman who

comes to menstruation. How can you come back?"

Kenny hasn't answers yet, and Mrs. Murphy thinks of something and immediately asks, "you little jerk,

were you kicked out because you want to force her?"

Kenny really don't know what to says about his mother's imagination. "Mom, if you want to ask me

these questions, it's better to care about me, who is innocent but was blamed."

Mrs. Murphy ignores his last two sentences and is still on Poppy's side."You don't know that when a

woman comes to menstruation, she will become very manic. You should be considerate of her. She

didn't do it wrong. She really can't have sex when she comes to menstruation."

"How can you get angry with her because of that?" Mrs. Murphy keeps blaming him.

Kenny is too lazy to explain. He puts his arms around his mother's shoulders and sends her out of the

room. "Mom, I'm tired. Would you please let me rest?"

Mrs. Murphy frowns, and looks at him. "Kenny, it's hard for you to get Poppy if you go on so

domineering."

She is disappointed. If things go on like that, she can’t have a grandchild soon.

It's difficult for Kenny to get close to her because of the impasse between them, let alone to be with her.

Thinking of this, his heart feels more tired. He sends his mother to the door, then shuts the door

directly.

Mrs. Murphy puts out her hand discontentedly and wants to educate Kenny, but when she thinks about

his expression, she doesn't do it.

When she goes downstairs, she murmurs, "things can't go on like this. It seems that I have to help that

silly Kenny."

"Women who come to menstruation is weak. She should be well taken care of. What kind of soup

should I make for her?" With the goal, Mrs. Murphy goes to look up the recipe right away.
