Heart Hunting novel Chapter 75

It's the midnight.

Kenny, entrusted by his mother, doesn't dare to delay. After dinner, he immediately drives to Times apartment. Thirty minutes later, he parks his car and takes the food box to Poppy's house.

After ringing the doorbell for a long while, the door opens just as he is about to give Poppy a phone call.

Poppy is wearing pajamas, with long hair on her chest, and her face is still very pale. She doesn't look as energetic as usual.

She is so surprised to see Kenny here. “Why do you come here?” She asks.

Kenny raises the food box in his hand. "My mom asked me to bring you fish soup."

Poppy's feeling is a little complicated, but she doesn't say anything. She opens the door to let him in.

The loose pajamas makes her look a little bit emaciated. From the back, she looks even thinner.

After he opens the food box, he asks, "still painful now?"

"I'm fine." Her voice is a little light and sounds very weak.

"Have some fish soup first!" Kenny goes to the kitchen and takes her a bowl and chopsticks.

Poppy drinks the soup quietly. Maybe because she is still uncomfortable, she doesn't speak much.

Kenny looks at her. He hesitates for a while, and says, "we have cut off the cooperation with the Greens."

"I see." Poppy doesn't care much. This kind of thing should have nothing to do with her.

His eyes flickers with light. "I will help you in whatever you want to do in the future, even if you want to kill someone.."

At first, she doesn't pay much attention to his words, but the more he says, the more confused she is. She looks at him with her side eyes, "why do you suddenly change?"

Even expression in his eyes when he looks at her is different. It's...pity?

"I thought you were sent abroad by Hilda and Bryant just to take refuge. But the truth is not. I won't let you suffer from starve or coldness for any longer. I will help you get revenge to those people who have hurt you!"

Poppy's face expression changes suddenly from the consternation to disgust after hearing. "You investigated me?"

He could say that only because that he has made a clear investigation of her life abroad. But how could he do that? Did he get her permission?

Even herself doesn't want to recalls that memory, how could he tore her scar...

"I just want to know more about you. I don’t..."

Poppy slaps her chopsticks on the table. She is in a rage and shouts at him, "get out!"

The mood in her eyes is complex. She is manic and helpless, but moreover, she's grieved.

Yes, that memory is a lifetime pain for her. Why does he mention these things in the presence of her.

Kenny feels baffled by her anger. "Can you please calm down? I meant no harm."

"Yes, you meant no harm. But you don't know that your words are like a knife." Poppy doesn't say the rest words, that is, your words hurt me all over. She says coldly, "now you know what kind of woman I am!"

Poppy laughs bitterly. In those days when there was no dignity, she was not even an ant.

Kenny can't react for a moment. He doesn't expect that she would be so steamed up about it.

"Yeah, I'm a total bad woman. I stole, I fought, and I even lived in the red light district for several months. Do you know what the red light district is?"

Poppy's eyes turn red. "That's a place for prostitutes. I'm that kind of lascivious woman."

"I know you can't help it, and these have already..."

"Get out of here!" Poppy pushes Kenny. There's hatred in her heart. And she let out all the bad emotions on him.

The warm atmosphere around the living room is gone. Kenny clasps her hand and says, "Poppy, I don't care about your past."

Only out of curiosity did he investigate her previous affairs. He didn't expect the truth to be so surprising.

Poppy sneers and stares at him. "Kenny, what's your qualification to say these words to me? I've finished using you now. I don't want to play the game any more. Get out!"

Some words don't really come from her heart, but she just can't control herself when she is so angry.
