Heart Hunting

When Kenny comes to the ward, Mrs. Murphy is watching TV. Seeing him coming, Mrs. Murphy smiles, "come here."

Kenny pulls out the chair and sits down. "Did Hilda come just now?"

Mrs. Murphy turns her eyes away from TV. "Yes, she came with Ethel."

When mentioning Ethel, she feels particularly disgusted. "You know what, Ethel's nose is still wrapped in white gauze, and it's so ugly. She lied to me that she didn't have a facelift. Did she really think that I'm a fool?" For the first time, Kenny sees his mother dislike a person so much. He jokes, "Mom, you can see through it now? You're sharp-sighted!"

Mrs. Murphy is very proud. She takes a sip of the tea, and says, "I've always been smart."

"Why did they come here?"

"Of course they came here because of you. They said you're with a woman named Jean. Is it that little fox?"

"Jean? Who's Jean?" Although he had met Jean before, he doesn't remember her at all.

"You don't know Jean?" Mrs. Murphy is surprised.

"Of course I don't know who this Jean is. Don't listen to them!"

Mrs. Murphy claps her thighs angrily and criticizes Hilda and Ethel. "I knew they were lying. They really thought I'm easy to fool. How come you would like a woman who has been married four times!"

She feels so resented. "I was thinking then, how come you would hook up with another woman when you are so intimate to that little fox recently?"

An alarm rings in Kenny's mind when he hears that. "Mom, you must not mention of Poppy whoever you are talking to."

"Why?" Mrs. Murphy is confused. "Are you afraid that Hilda and Ethel will come to her and fight again?"

"No." Kenny is thoughtful.

"Then what's the reason? I think that little fox is very clever. Ethel is definitely not her opponent." The reason why Poppy is called "fox" is not only because she hooks her son, but also because she seems so smart. She is as cunning as a fox. "Mom, the little fox you call names Poppy Green."

"Green?" Is that a coincidence?

Kenny becomes serious. "Yes. She's Bryant Green's daughter, Ethel's half sister, the second miss of the Greens."

"What?!" Mrs. Murphy's eyes widen. The news really surprises her. And she is very fond of Poppy. "It turns out that the little fox is not only a lawyer, but also a aristocratic miss. But I never heard Ethel mention that she has two sisters?" Mrs. Murphy seems to find something.

Kenny still hasn't fully investigated the matter, and it's inconvenient to say much to his mother. He says, "it's a bit complicated. But remember, if you don't want to cause someone a death because of this, you have to keep it secret!" Seeing Kenny so serious, Mrs. Murphy realizes the importance of this matter and nods seriously. "Don't worry. In order to have a grandson early, I will keep it secret."
