Heart Hunting

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.

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.
