Heart Hunting

Chapter 137 Whether you liked Arno Lewis better than me?

"You little elf, you must have some poisonous magic that could confuse people's minds. Only because

of that I was fascinated by you. Otherwise, how could it be possible that I could be crazy about a bad

woman like you."

Poppy was dumbfounded by what he said, "Are you saying that you love me? Well, that is really a

stupid and lame way, level zero. It's not very romantic, but... I like it."

Kenny was overjoyed, "You like me?”

Poppy changed her tune and said, "You just keep dreaming of your Utopian dream."

Kenny kept silent, and after a while, he became serious, " Poppy, what I am talking about now is not

joking with you, Listen!"

He held her hand, and the warmth from his palm melted the ice in her heart.

The cave was very quiet, so quiet that she had an illusion that the time stood still at this moment.

"Yeah." Poppy answered.

"If we could leave here alive, I hope you could give me a chance. I want to protect you. I’m not joking."

The smile on the corners of Poppy 's mouth went away. There was a long silence, she avoided his

eyes.

It took so long before she responded that Kenny felt like a century had passed. She said yes in a very

small voice.

Kenny heard the answer from her. Whether the answer was her heart in it or just some comforting

words she said because he was injured, which all made him feel relieved and happy.

The night came quietly.

After sunset, Poppy didn't go out again. She was not familiar with the terrain of this area, so she didn't

know whether there would be any beasts nearby.

Poppy piled up firewood and lighted a fire. They sat in front of the warm fire. She looked at the food

and handed him the last protein bar, "Eat!"

"You have it, I'm full."

Poppy shoved the protein bar directly in his mouth, "You are a patient, and I am a healthy person, so I

can’t starve you, right."

Seeing that he didn’t chew, Poppy pointed to the bag of wild fruits, "Don't worry, these

are also our food."

They both knew however the wild fruits could stave off hunger, they still would not survive long only

relying on that. If the search personnel couldn’t come tomorrow, they would be in serious trouble.

After that, none spoke a word, and there was unanimous silence. The cave became extremely quiet,

only the crackling sound of firewood burning.

As the night wore on, it was getting colder and colder, and Kenny, who was originally lying there calmly,

couldn't help shaking, trembling slightly, which soon attracted Poppy 's attention.

She touched his face and hands with concern, " Are you ok?"

"I’m fine!" said Kenny softly.

Poppy touched his forehead again. It felt very hot, "You have a fever?"

She thought about it seriously and realized that it must be the wounds that caused the inflammation.

She made a silent sigh, and took out the anti-inflammatory medicine for him.

The night got deeper, but Kenny did not get better at all. He looked even worse, and fell into a blur and

half-sleep state. He was lying there unconscious and even started to murmur to himself.

Poppy might as well simply rest his head on her thigh, and take his hand tightly. She was wondering

what he was murmuring, so she leaned down and heard her own name, " Poppy... Poppy..."

"I'm here, don’t worry, you will be fine. You have to be fine!"

At this moment, her heart melted.

The flames illuminated his face, and a layer of thin sweat was beading his forehead. She gently wiped

the sweat from his forehead. Watching him in pain, she was a little heart broken, "Kenny, You're so

stupid! Why did you do that? You are the most eligible bachelor that all women in City H dream of.

Don’t you know that there is nothing good for you to fall in love with a woman like me, only to get you in

trouble and even get you dead.”

I’m a cruel, scheming woman, and a vixen...

"I am a thorough bad woman. I have been using you all the time. Don’t you know that!"

"Nothing good happens when you are with me, you should stay away from me, stay in your own gentle

world and be you playboy. Why are you so stupid to chase me and get yourself in such trouble!"

She subconsciously took his hand hard, although there were still only tough words coming out from her

mouth, yet her heart was in the warmth that she had never had in the past dozen years.

This man is an idiot and a fool. Otherwise, why else could he be willing to die for a bad woman who

took advantage of him? Wasn’t he good at doing business? What advantage would that be for him to

spend so much money on her?

Didn’t he know this was a money-losing decision?

She was just money-losing goods. In addition to being a little bit smart, she thought she had nothing

outstanding. In terms of appearance, there were so many people who were prettier than her, and in

terms of action, she was not very successful either...

She recalled escaping from the castle, sliding down from the waterfall, and then encountered the

grizzly bear. The whole time, this man always silently protected her, his protection was unassuming,

calm and restrained, steady and deep. Even if he got hurt for protecting her, he didn't mention a word

about it.

She was touched which could be seen from her eyes looking at him. She looked at him quietly, her

hands trembling slightly. She felt his face with her hand, his chiseled face. The three-dimensional face

features were so handsome and charming. It was the first time she watched his face so seriously.

When her fingertips slid to his thin lips, she stopped. Although these two thin lips were slightly raw now,

they looked so seductive.

Gradually, she didn’t know what was wrong with her. She felt she was out of control, couldn’t help

bending down and kissed him on his lips.

Kenny, you must live.

At night like this, the tranquility made people sad and agitated.

…

At the first faintest glimmering of the dawn, a faint light fell in the cave. Poppy, who had been asleep

lightly, woke up with the smallest sign of movement.

A wolf’s cry came from somewhere, but she knew it was far away.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to check Kenny if he was alright.

However, he didn't seem to be getting better. His whole frame is quivering with the cold, and his fever

got worse than last night.

She went to the rucksack, fed him the few anti-inflammatory tablets left, and then fed him water.

His whole body was icy cold, but his forehead was very hot. Poppy thought for a moment and hugged

him directly in her arms, intended to warm him with her body temperature.

"Kenny, you can't die here."

"If you dare to die here, I will take your corpse directly to feed the bear."

"Kenny..." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Poppy felt sad, cold and hopeless. This situation reminded her of her mother. Her mother committed

suicide by slitting her wrists. On that day, when she went back, what waited for her was already an icy

cold corpse. This was exactly what Kenny looked like now. His whole body was icy cold. If it weren't

because he was still breathing, she would really think...

He heard her voice, and opened his eyes weakly and raised his hand with difficulty. Poppy understood

in a second, and took his hand, "Are you awake?"

Or say, he was actually in a situation of half-asleep all night.

"If I die here, would you help me to take care of my mother?" trying to make a smile.

Poppy bit her lower lip tightly, she felt such pain at his words, "Don't play with me that kind of act of

entrusting your loved ones to someone else before dying. And, my answer is no. You are her son, if

you worry about her, then you go back and take care of her."

He trembled badly. Hearing her say this, he got mad, "I got so banged up for you, would it kill you to

show me that you have been moved a little?"

He still had the strength to blame her, which was a good thing.

She hoped to provoke him and said deliberately, "I am very touched now, and I am willing to give

myself to you sexually. Get up and have sex with me!"

Poppy’s eyes were red as she was speaking. There was no rescue and no food. Now, even the

medicine ran out too. If the situation goes on like this...

Her words obviously stimulated Kenny. What was brutal was that now his physical condition didn’t allow

him to have sex with anyone.

However, another thing came into his mind at once. He coughed hard, "Me and Arno Lewis, who do

you like more?"

Poppy was surprised, felt a mixture of exasperation and amusement, "What kind of a bullshit question

is this?"

"I want to know." His eyes became obsessed.

"You, it's you. You're handsome with a ton of money, I'm so fascinated by you." His obsession made

her show a rare sincere smile, which was as beautiful as a flower.

Kenny looked up, and stared at her perfect and impeccable face. At the moment she laughed, he felt

that his whole world was lit up.

He took her hand tightly, "When you smile, you are the most beautiful."

His words immediately touched the tear point of her.

In the past, the mother said the same.

But after her mother died, she even forgot what a true smile was.

There were only sneers and sinister smiles and dark smiles...
