Heart Hunting -
Chapter 58
Mrs. Murphy is particularly disgusted when she recalls that Ethel lied to her about the facelift. Oh no, she is even more disgusted with Hilda.
She praises her own daughter too much, as if she's afraid that everyone else doesn't know that.
Mrs. Murphy responds coldly. "Ethel is a good girl, but..." She pauses," I'm too old to care about these things. As long as Kenny loves, he can marry whoever he likes."
Hilda and Ethel are shocked when hearing that!
Mrs. Murphy's words have upset their plan. And Ethel, the most impulsive, immediately says, "Mrs. Murphy, do you mean, that even if Kenny wants to marry Jean, you will agree that?"
"children have their own luck. I can't intervene too much!" Mrs. Murphy says with a smile. She has answered Ethel's question indirectly.
Ethel's face takes on a ghostly expression, she looks at her mother, hoping she would say something good for her.
Hilda is still thinking about the language to deal with that, and Mrs. Murphy continues, "Even you two both know that Jean is not good. My son is not stupid. A man can hook up with some bad girls, but the one he marry must be a good wife." Mrs. Murphy's followed words directly sentences Ethel to death. "I believe in my son's vision. If he insists on marrying her, I can't do anything with it. Just let him do it."
Finally, it is like drawing water with a sieve. Hilda's and Ethel's efforts are useless.
Ethel's passionate is devastated by Mrs. Murphy's words. After Hilda saying so much, it finally is like knocked over by Mrs. Murphy with a stick. She also feels helpless as Ethel.
There is a deadlock in the ward for a while. Hilda feels that there is nothing more to say. She looks at the time and makes an excuse, "Mrs. Murphy, it's late now, we'll visit you next time!"
Ethel comes up and says, "Mrs. Murphy, we're leaving. Take good care of yourself!"
Mrs. Murphy raises a fake smile and says, "you, too. Especially your nose. If Kenny sees it, he will not like it."
Ethel can't bear the blow and feels ashamed to stay. She leaves in a hurry with her mother.
"Mom, Mrs. Murphy dislike me, right?" Ethel walks out. She is so upset and depressed. Mrs. Murphy's last few words destroyed her confidence completely.
Hilda is not sure of it. At first, she thought Mrs. Murphy is easy to deal with. Who knows she is also veteran!
"Don't think about it so much. I think Mrs. Murphy still prefers you."
"How come?" Ethel's mind is completely at a loss.
"Didn't you hear Mrs. Murphy's last words? She wants you to take good care of yourself. If Kenny sees you like this, he won't like you." Although this is a bit absurd, it can make her feel more comfortable. But Ethel doesn't believe it. She whispers, "why do I feel that Mrs. Murphy was making fun of me?"
"You silly girl. Don't think too much about it. At present, it's the most important thing to recuperate. Otherwise, it's all for nothing, you know that?"
They walk out all the way talking. They don't pay much attention to their surroundings when the elevator opens. They walk in directly.
As Hilda walks in, Kenny comes out of the other elevator and replaces her.
But Hilda doesn't look around, she doesn't see Kenny.
Looking at the closed elevator, Kenny starts thinking, does Hilda come to see his mother?
