Heart Hunting

Time flied! It had been one week later. Having been rescued in the forest, they didn't go back to their motherland at once because Kenny was seriously wounded. Instead, they stayed in the hospital in Vancouver, Canada for one week and then headed back to their

motherland when Kenny was in a steady status with wounds healed.

Poppy and Kenny went back home together. Kenny was doing not bad but he still needed to be treated with medicine on time everyday. Mrs. Murphy was happy when they were finally home but she was worried when she found out Kenny got injured, "What happened to you, Kenny? You were all healthy and strong before you went abroad. Why are you home with all these wounds?" Poppy was guilty looking at the emotional Mrs. Murphy and explained ahead of Kenny, "Sorry, Mrs. Murphy. Kenny got injured when protecting me."

Mrs. Murphy stopped for a second and looked at Kenny who nodded. Then she turned to Poppy and put her hands all over Poppy without any hesitation checking whether she was all right, "Who dared to hurt you? Where did you get hurt? Let me check." "Mrs. Murphy, I'm all right thanks to Kenny."

Mrs. Murphy then patted Kenny on his shoulder and said, "Well done, Kenny! That's what man was supposed to do. You two take a good rest. I will get you some soup."

Kenny hugged Poppy on her shoulder and said to Mrs. Murphy, "All right! We are heading upstairs."

Mrs. Murphy understood what he meant and said wittily, "Sure. It might take several hours to get the soup ready."

Poppy felt wry at their conversation. How come it became...

Mrs. Murphy then came to Daisey, "Daisey, come help me make the fish soup."

When at the room, Kenny got hold of Poppy tight and said besides her ears gently, "Stay overnight. You owe me a wedding night."

Poppy looked up at his big eyes, "Look at you! Just like a mummy. What are you still thinking about?"

Kenny pushed her to the corner and said, bending towards her, "Life is short. Seize the day. You can choose to be on the top, making it deeper..." He said and was about to kiss her, when Poppy stopped him with her index finger on his lips, "If i have to go all out the first time, what are you for? It seems you are not strong enough."

She pushed him away and walked to the french window. She pulled the curtain, opened the window and walked out to the veranda. What a nice sunset. The sky was filled with glorious sunset and rolling clouds. Not far from the urban area, the surrounding was pretty pleasant with abundant plants and flowers, comfortable breeze and a fresh smell.

Intrigued, Kenny came over and hugged her from the back, "Bad girl. When I'm totally recovered, you will find out what I am capable of," he said while turning Poppy around and kissed her tight on her lips. Poppy didn't resist and put her hands around his neck instead. The wind blew through them without taking away their passion for each other.

The beautiful moment didn't last long, which was disrupted by a phone ringing. Poppy pushed him away and looked at her phone. It was called from Susan Wright. She hesitated and didn't answer the phone immediately.

Kenny knew she had something to attend to, so he walked away. Poppy was grateful for the privacy and turned around to answer the phone.

"Are you all right?"

Hearing this from the phone, Poppy answered with a cold smile, "You also thought i was dead, right?"

Susan was still worried, "Bryant Green came to me the other day and told me that you had been taken down by his evil wife."

Anger came to Poppy. It turned out it was really Hilda Sanches. "I'm tough. I came back alive."

"Thank goodness you are all right. I still need to rely on your plan..." Susan stopped for a second and continued, "What should i do now? Or what do you need from me?"

"I'm about to call it off. You needn't do anything. Take good care of yourself while expecting your baby and be prepared to leave anytime." Poppy thought carefully and continued, "He will soon transfer the money to you. When you receive the money in your account, contact me at once. And I will arrange for you to leave here." Poppy hung up the phone and walked into the room. Kenny was lying on one side of the bed. She got on the bed and lay besides him without saying anything.

Kenny didn't want to meddle in, "Would they be scared to death if they find out you are back alive?"

Poppy didn't expect him to bring this up. She was confused, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll tell you if you kiss me," Kenny said with a cheeky grin.

""You are childish."

"Then kiss or not?" Kenny put his face in front of her.

Poppy kissed him willingly, "Now, you can tell me."

Kenny held her close and said, "I don't mind showing you around in the Dakings Group."

Poppy looked at him with interest and he continued, "I have prepared for you an office on the top floor." She pondered for a moment and then smiled, lying on his side, "Well done!"

Kenny planned to introduce Poppy to the Dakings Group with great ceremony so that those people would know that Poppy Green had been back alive and with glories. At the Soft Land Beauty Club.

Hilda Sanches and Ethel Green had been having a good time everyday since they were told that Poppy

Green was dead. They were now et

siting at the Light Wave Therapy Room, enjoying the sweating and chatting.

"Mom, i feel my skin has become much better since Poppy Green died."

Hilda smiled with a relief, "I can finally relax and suffer less from wrinkles."

Ethel nodded and became upset when thinking of Kenny Murphy, "Mom, we need to work hard on Kenny." She didn't get along well with Kenny before because of Poppy.

"As for Kenny..." Hilda started to work on her scheme, "you'd better not go to him deliberately these days. I can tell he is not into this."

"What should i do?" Ethel looked in lost.

"Don't worry. You can buy off people around him like his assistant or secretary. Once you get hold of his itinerary, you can arrange a coincidence with him." "Does it work?" Ethel doubted it.

"And you need to learn to cook. Mrs. Murphy is good at cooking so Kenny is picky about food. If you wanna hold him tight, you need to be able to cook rather than daydreaming. No pains no gains. I guess you don't know how to use the pan now."

"Mom, enough. I'm your daughter. I'm sick of hearing all these cooking and washing stuff, which are

supposed to be done by the

servants. How can a lady like me do these dirty jobs." Ethel said with

disdain. She was born with a silver

spoon in her mouth, who should be going shopping and doing facial maintenance everyday rather than dealing with chores.

Hilda poked Ethel's face deliberately. Ethel retorted immediately, "Don't poke my face. The hyaluronic acid is quite expensive."

"If you don't pick up yourself, there will be thousands of girls like Poppy between you and Kenny even if you have tackled Poppy. Kenny is definitely not into skin-deep beauty."

But Ethel didn't take it seriously, "Even if there are ten Poppies, they can all be tackled as long as Mom you get on it."

Hilda looked unhappy, "You'd better not cry over spoiled milk then."

Ethel patted her face, "Look at my precious face. I will definitely win over Kenny. Now, Poppy has died. I'm 100% positive. I will for sure win over Kenny in three months."

"Huh!" Hilda snickered, "Look at you. You won't win over Kenny in three years, let alone three months."

"Just wait and see. Oh, right! Now Poppy is done. You should be worrying about your own problems."

"What do you mean?" Hilda was confused.

"My dad is being weird recently."

"Yeah?" Hilda became suspected.

"I saw Dad talking on his phone secretly and happily in the yard. I've never seen him so happy at home." Ethel tattered on her father.

"How dare Bryant Green has been playing tricks behind me." Hilda frowned with an evil look.

"Dad must be having someone on the side."

"I had been busy dealing with Poppy and it totally slipped my mind. I had seen a painting in your dad's office before. It must be painted by that woman."

"So you'd better keep a close eye on Dad." In that case, her mom wouldn't have time to drone on her.

Hilda nodded and said, "All of you make troubles for me. Only Sheila is a reassuring girl."0000000
