Heart Hunting novel Chapter 59

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!"
