Heart Hunting

Chapter 32

Alva Private Hospital-

There are endless reports about Ethel. And many journalists try to sneak into the inpatient department

to get exclusive news. In order to prevent her daughter from being hurt twice. Hilda secretly transfers

Ethel after communicating with the hospital for many times.

In the ward, the doctor is changing Ethel's medicine and admonishing, "Miss Green, I suggest you have

a nose repair operation after the swelling of your nose subsides.”

Ethel is a little embarrassed, but she has to face the reality. "Doctor, can I do the repair now?”

She has ran out her patience. She even wants to die when she looks at her face.

"Don't be rushed. It'll still take a week to get rid of the swelling at fast. You should just have a good

rest!” The doctor leaves with the nurses after saying.

Ethel stares at herself in the mirror. She is depressed. It has been several days, and the face is still so

swollen. It's so lucky that her brow ridge is unbroken!

But she will have to fill in the apple muscle again.

She can't bear to see herself like that any more. Ethel angrily drops the mirror and says, "Jean, I will

never let you off easily!”

The mirror is broken. Sheila, who is drinking coconut milk beside, is frightened by Ethel’s action.

"What's wrong with you? The doctor just went out and you lose your temper here. Is it not the result of

your own impulse?” Hilda is sitting next to Ethel. She frowns for her daughter's behavior.

“But I am not reconciled, mom!” The hatred in Ethel's heart is like dodder grass, which has been stirring

her heart. She isn't reconciled. However, she softens her tone. "Mom, I'm so upset. I want to see

Kenny.”

Sheila keeps silent next to Ethel. She recalls of the scene in the corridor before, then chuckles in her

heart. Kenny is probably fond of sister Poppy. Sister Ethel is really self-assertion.

"You just can't hold your breath. How many times have I told you that you can't be impulsive about

anything? Don't you have a brain to think? Don't do anything now. If Kenny sees you like this, he will

never like you.”

Hilda's words are pungent, and each sentence strikes Ethel's self-confidence, but she really deserves

to be scolded.

Ethel becomes quiet for a while, but she can't stand the grievance in her heart. "No, I'm going to call

Kenny now. He's mine. He can't do this to me.”

Hilda gives her a supercilious look, and deliberately stimulates her, "now you are in the limelight, if you

want to call him, just do it, but don't cry to me to find a way.”

Hilda's words make Ethel hesitated. But she is like a stubborn donkey. She won't stop until she reaches

her goal, "Mom, please let me call him, or I will not give up.”

Hilda turns her head to ignore Ethel.

Ethel quickly picks up her mobile phone and dials the phone number she remembered in heart. Once,

twice, three times...

She calls for 15 minute. But after each call connected, it is cut off the next second. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Her face darkens, is twisted and ugly. Hilda sneers, “how’s it?”

"Mom, he...he blacklists me...”

It's impossible to be cut off manually every time for so many times. Only one possibility is that Kenny

blacklists her phone number, so she can't call in.

Sheila sits beside quietly.Seeing her sister Ethel's stink face, she tries hard to hold her laugh back.

Hilda seems to have guessed the result. "It will be strange that he doesn't blacklist you when you look

like that. I've told you so, now the most important thing is your face!”

Ethel ignores her mother's scolding and mumbles to herself, "no, I gotta call Mrs. Murphy. She likes me

very much. She will help me.”

Hilda knows her daughter's character very well, she sits beside her indifferently and ignores her.

Sheila looks at her mother and then turns her eyes back to Ethel. She is sure that even Mrs. Murphy

will not help her.

As Ethel thought, Mrs. Murphy doesn't blacklist her. Ethel eyes flash with hope. She smiles and says

softly, "Mrs. Murphy, this is Ethel!”

Mrs. Murphy's tone is a little chilly, "I know.”

Hearing Mrs. Murphy's response, Ethel still has a little hope in her heart. "Mrs. Murphy, isn't it boring

that no one has been shopping with you recently? I've been in the hospital everyday, its also so boring.

I'll accompany you when I recover!”

“Well, put it off until you recover. I like to stay at home and watch TV recently. It's also relaxing.” Mrs.

Murphy has a soft disposition. She can't refuse Ethel clearly, but she quite resists her approach in her

heart.

She doesn't want to go shopping with Ethel who is an "Internet celebrity". She doesn't want to be

influenced by Ethel and to become the headline.

"Mrs. Murphy, in fact, my body injury has almost recovered, only my face. Please wait for me...”

"Oh, Daisey, is there a guest coming? Serve the guest first. I'll be right here.” Mrs. Murphy doesn't want

to talk to her, so she makes an excuse to hang up.

Being interrupted, Ethel looks embarrassed. Before she says anything, Mrs. Murphy has hung up the

phone in a hurry. She said in a euphemistic tone. "Ethel, we have guests at home. Let's talk next time.

Have a good rest!”

Mrs. Murphy, on the other side, takes a breath of relief after hanging up the phone.

Ethel thinks of Mrs. Murphy's tone carefully, even a fool can recognize that Mrs. Murphy intends to

avoid her.
