Heart Hunting novel Chapter 107

Bryant suddenly comes to the cemetery on conscience. Noomy has passed away for more than ten years, and he came here less than five times. The most recent was five years ago when Poppy left for the United States.

When the car enters the cemetery, he passes a black Audi, in which Poppy sits. But they don’t notice each other and just come across.

After getting out of the car with a bunch of lilies, Bryant comes to her tomb. The gardener, who is behind him, sees how clean the tombstone is and asks, "Sir, it’s so clean. Do I still need to clean it?”

Bryant takes a look at confusion. Noomy’s parents died long ago and she didn’t have any siblings. Who will come to visit her and clean the tomb?

After the gardener leaves, he squats down to study the fresh white lilies.

Lilies were her favorite flower when she was alive, which few people know. The flowers are so fresh, which means the sender just left. Who knows her death anniversary, cleans the tomb, and brings her favorite flowers?

His heart thumps with an ashen look and a face comes to his mind.

Poppy!

No one would do so many things for Noomy, expect Poppy!

Bryant puts down the flowers he bought. He looks at the picture on the tombstone, which records her beauty forever, and the lilies nearby, feeling his heart aches. It is obviously a hot season with the dazzling sun, but he still has a cold sweat.

Just in a few minutes, he leaves immediately and trips accidentally in a rush. Shuddering, the man looks back at the photo. The gorgeous smile on it suddenly looks gloomy. He kicks the grass away and hurries back to the car.

Bryant takes out his phone and calls the assistant immediately. "Mr. Green!”

"Go to the passport office and check if Poppy goes back to China at all costs.”

"Yes!”

Putting down the phone, he looks pale and his temples thump crazily. His hands are still shivering, with a racing heart.

On the other hand, Poppy is gloomy every year on this day. She looks forward with frustration. How can this world be so unfair? Good people don’t receive rewards, while those who have sins can have a wonderful life. Probably it is fate?

No!

A glimmer of hope sparks in her eyes. She doesn’t believe in fate, but her efforts.

The melodious ringing sound breaks the gloomy atmosphere. It is from the little old lady. Poppy answers the call after she calms down.

"Hello!”

"Poppy, will it interrupt you?” Mrs. Murphy’s light voice comes.

"No. What is it?” She slows down and waits patiently.

"I made soup. Come and eat it. You must be busy recently with a big case, but you can’t always work overtime. Your health matters.”

Mrs. Murphy’s concerned words warm her heart like spring water. Poppy can’t help but soften her tone. "I get it.”

"Your stomach isn’t good. You need to take care of it. Let me take you to see an experienced Chinese doctor another day and take some medicine.”

"Wait until I finish this case!” Now, her focus is on the yacht case.

"Alright. Come here after work!”

After hanging up the call, Poppy looks at her watch. It is alright five o’clock, thus she directly drives to the Honey Lake.

Her vision is a little bit blurry. It turns out that her eyes are blinded by tears.
