Heart Hunting
Chapter 34

There seems to be a starched and stilted feeling in the air. Hilda watches the two sisters quarrel again. She shouts, "stop quarreling! You two even quarrel in my presence, don't you take me seriously?" "It's not that I want to quarrel with her, I was just giving her advice out of kindness, but she doesn't appreciate it. At least I has gone through it, believe it or not."

The two sisters have different views. Naturally, they can't have a peaceful talk.

Sheila ignores her and picks up her bag. "Mom, I'm going back to school. I don't want to argue with fools."

Even the fools can figure out her meaning. Ethel yells at her back. "Sheila, come back here! How dare you insult me?"

"Ethel! Shut up!" Between the two daughters, Hilda choose to be on the side of the younger daughter.

"Mom, see how Sheila being spoiled by you!"

"You are wrong first, don't blame Sheila for saying that. It's you got your nose done and fought with others!"

"Mom, how many times have you said that? I think Sheila is a little different recently."

"Sheila is so well-behaved. She will never do stupid things as you did!" Hilda is successfully distracted by her.

Ethel frowns. "Mom, I'm serious. Don't you think Sheila has been spaced out recently?

Hilda calms down and looks at her doubtfully. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, is Sheila in love?"

"It's impossible, Sheila will tell me if she has a boyfriend." Hilda trusts her little daughter very much. When she was young, she would always tell her everything. She is always smart and well-behaved. "All right. If you're so sure, then I'll stop talking about it. Maybe it's just that paper makes her like this." Ethel cuts off the topic. Anyway, her mothers won't believe her no matter how much she says. "You should take care of your own affairs first. It's not up to you to worry about your sister!"

In order to avoid being nagged by her mother, Ethel pulls the quilt down and closes her eyes. "Mom, can you just leave me alone? I'm going to have a rest."

"Fine, I'll go!" Hilda waves. "I'm going home. Your father will come later."

After a while, when Ethel is sure her mother has left, she gets up again. Ethel takes out her cell phone, dials the familiar number again, and prays that Kenny can answer her phone...
