Heart Hunting novel Chapter 54

In Alva Private Hospital-

Hilda inserts a bunch of white roses into the vase and says, "Ethel, looks like you're recovering well."

But Ethel doesn't think so. "My nose looks ugly."

Since her grafted cartilage was broken, and after the prosthesis was removed, her nose looks shapeless, and there is still a bruise on it.

Hilda sits down and comforts Ethel. "What's the hurry? Now the technology is so advanced. The doctors also said that they can do the repair operations after detumescence."

When talking about this topic, she feels bored and changes the topic. "Mom, why do you come alone, where's my dad?"

When it comes to this, Hilda complains, "who knows what your father is doing? He said that the company was busy, and that the company was going to open a new project. He come home late during these days."

"Is he really so busy?" Ethel murmurs.

Hilda's face suddenly turns gloomy, and she says in a cruel voice, "your father's best to be well-behaved. If I find any clues that he..."

She's not as stupid as her daughter. If Bryant dare to cheat on her, she'll kick him out and kill the one who hooks up with him.

Ethel looks at her mother's terrifying eyes, and she says with a little scared, "our company is a big enterprise, and it's normal for dad to be busy. After all, he doesn't have a right-hand man!"

"Whatever, we almost forget about the business." Hilda looks at her daughter with serious and says, "Ethel, your chance is here!"

Her words inspires Ethel to look at her with a little expectation, "what is it?"

"I've heard that Mrs. Murphy is hospitalized due to a car accident. Now it's the time when she needs to be taken care of. And that is your chance." Hilda's eyes are full of a light of calculating.

For Kenny, she doesn't expect her daughter to have any trump card. But Mrs. Murphy is simple in heart and easy to approach, so it is right to get on well with her.

Ethel doesn't speak for a while, and she starts to think. Is this really an opportunity? She has set off such a big scandal before. Even herself has no expectation for this, let alone what Mrs. Murphy will think of her.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, I'm listening, but I just think it's difficult." She doesn't have much confidence in herself now.

Hilda holds Ethel's hands as if to give her strength. She says, "Ethel, you have to show yourself well in front of Mrs. Murphy. It's better to make her inseparable from you."

Hilda is so calculative. She thinks, Kenny has no father since he was a child. He is raised up by her mother alone. So he is filial to Mrs. Murphy most. As long as Mrs. Murphy likes Ethel, there will be no difficulty.

After her mother's "brainwashing", Ethel cheers herself up. Who never makes a fool of himself or herself? These memories will all fade with time.

But then she thinks of her face again, "Mom, my nose hasn't been repaired yet. Wouldn't it be too ugly to see Mrs. Murphy like this?"
