In the hospital, Ethel has undergone a nose repair operation after consultation with experts. She is recuperating in the hospital, waiting for the nose to swell.
Bryant comes to the hospital in the afterglow. After having a fierce fight with the old bitch, he doesn’t want to go home to face her.
It’s rare to see her father come to the hospital to see her, thus Ethel feels a little surprised. However, his emotions can be clearly seen on his face. After he sits down, she can’t help but ask, "Dad, have you quarreled with mon again?”
Bryant sighed lightly. "Your mom is unreasonable. My friend sent me an oil painting, but she suspected I had a mistress because of the name—XT!”
Ethel, who doesn’t know the whole story, also feels it’s her mother’s fault.
After he complains for a while, Ethel says, "Dad, you’ve tolerated mom for more than 20 years. Don’t you know her temper?”
Bryant is silent. Recalling the past 20 years, he seems to be living in a nightmare. What a miserable life!
For a long time, they all remain silent, until Ethel comforts him one hour later, "Dad, let it go, okay?”
Bryant groans, "I can’t let it go all off a sudden.”
"You know, couples always have their ups and downs. Mom is just insecure. Your relationship…”
"Stop it. Enough.” Bryant is very resistant to the topic.
Ethel has to give up. Not to mention her mother, even she also feels he and his behavior are weird. But based on his innocent words, she thinks he won’t do that!
However, Bryant is thinking about the bunch of lilies in the cemetery with a frown. "Actually, I’m thinking about one thing.”
One thing gives him a real headache.
"What’s wrong?” Ethel realizes he doesn’t look good.
"Today is the death anniversary of Poppy’s mother. And I went to the cemetery in the afternoon.” Bryant speaks out the reason.
"Why did you go to the cemetery? If mom knows…?”
"Listen to me,” he sighs, "I saw something weird today.”
"What’s wrong?” Ethel can’t figure out his intention.
"The tomb was so clean without a weed. And a bunch of lilies, her favorite, were put in front to her tombstone…” Bryant suddenly stops with a very complex look.
"Then?” Ethel also feels it’s weird.
"The freshness of the flowers proves that the sender went there today. Her parents had passed away a long time ago, and she didn’t have a sibling. No one knows where she was buried expect us.”
"Someone must have visited her today. But she didn’t have any relative, expect…” Ethel is terrified and fastens her speed.
"Did you have the answer?” Bryant knows they have the same answer.
"It must be her. Poppy must be back.” Poppy is a real nightmare for Ethel.
"Dad, we can’t let her come back.” Ethel grabs the sheet nervously, her eyes full of hatred.
"We need to make sure whether she’s back first. I have sent someone to investigate the recent entry list at all costs. Hope we’ll get news!” Bryant is concerned about her, seeing her expression change. "Don’t panic. It’s just our suspicion.”
"No, she must be back. Dad, you have to find out that bitch!” Ethel is very emotional. She hates but fears Poppy, who is certainly a demon!
Bryant is so nervous. For him, Poppy is indeed a scourge. Once she really comes back…
