Heart Hunting

Chapter 72

At Bamboo Tea-house-

The tea fragrance lingers around the bamboos, and the sound of the water is clear and crisp,

accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, which has some ancient classic charm.

In a private box named Peony.

Poppy and a man sit face to face. Her red lips raises a very light sneer smile, and the man opposite

looks impatient. "Poppy, right? Do you really have the project planning book of the Green's enterprise?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Why would I have to deceive you after asking you out?" Poppy's tone is chilly and her eyes doesn't

have any fluctuation, but what she said makes the man glad.

The man immediately pours her a cup of tea. "Let's talk about it!"

Since receiving her phone call, his heart has been uneasy. She said that she has the project planning

of the Greens' enterprise. It's very clear for everyone that what this means. If he wants to beat the

Greens' enterprise in the next quarter, this project planning will help him a lot.

At first, he didn't believe it. But she was so confident that he decided to gamble for it. That's why they

meet here.

"There's nothing more to talk about. We just take what we need." She is indifferent and takes out a

brown paper bag from the her bag. "The planning book is here."

After putting the paper bag on the table, she waits for the man's reaction.

The man is very smart. He immediately takes out the check he has prepared. "Here is a million dollars.

After I make sure this is true, the check will belong to you."

Poppy takes the check over and says, "go ahead."

There is the official seal of the Greens' enterprise in the planning. And it has all kinds of detailed reports

and performance reports. It can't be fake.

When the man gets the paper bag, he immediately opens it for inspection. Poppy takes a sip of the tea.

She feels it tastes strange, but she doesn't think much about it, and she slowly drinks it.

After about 10 minutes, the man smiles contentedly. "I checked it. It is exactly what our company

needs. Thank you."

Poppy chuckles. "We just takes what we need."

The man is very happy and raises his cup. "If there is a chance, I hope we can cooperate again in the

future." He is one of the rivals of the Greens, so naturally he wants to get more information about his

rival.

“Sure.” Poppy also raises the cup and drinks all the tea in it.

"May I ask you a question?" The man is still curious about how she got the planning book and why she

sells it to him.

Poppy refuses to answer. "Don't ask me where I got it and why I choose your company. I won't

answer."

Their purposes are nothing more than trade, and she refuses to answer any questions beyond trade.

The man shows a little embarrassed. He says, "OK."

After goes out of the tea house, Poppy takes a taxi and leaves.

It seems that the bustle of the city every day will never stop. She looks at the traffic crowd outside the

window, and thinks about something. A while later, a familiar pain on her stomach makes her frown.

With the spread of the pain, her face gradually turns pale, even her forehead is covered with some

sweat.

Holy crap! The stomachache comes to her again!

Her stomach is as painful as being scratched by a knife. She closes her eyes and opens them again.

But it can't relieve the pain. And it becomes more and more unbearable.

"Sir, please take me to the center hospital." Poppy says.

The driver looks at her in the rear-view mirror and worried, "what's the matter, Miss?"

"I have a stomachache." Poppy leans on the back of the seat and covers her stomach with her hands.

The driver still says something. But she can't pay her attention to hear it. until the driver stops the car

slowly, she pays the bill and goes into the emergency department step by step.

From sitting down to checking and waiting for the results, she has been painfully biting at her lips, and

the sweating on her forehead has never stopped. She silently endures the pain, hoping to get the

diagnosis results and take the medicine quickly.

The doctor comes in with a list and looks a little serious. "Miss Green, you have a serious stomach

disease. Have you had it for four or five years?"

"Yes." Poppy answers hard.

When she was abroad, she was often starving. Sometimes she was so hungry that she could only eat

the rotten bread. This kind of situation lasted for a long time. So it's not surprising for her to have a

stomach disease.

"What did you eat last time?" At the very least, the doctor needs to find out the cause of the

stomachache.

Poppy remembers that she didn't eat anything wrong at noon, but just now... "My stomach ached since

I came out of a tea house."

"A tea house?" The doctor thinks for a while and asks, "what kind of tea did you drink?"

"Pu'er tea, but it tastes a little strange."

"Why is it strange?" The doctor keep asking.

Poppy recalls the taste. "It's not the same as the taste I used to drink. It's bitter and sweet, and the

color of it is red like chestnuts."

She felt the tea was strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

The doctor finally figured it out. "Miss Green, what you drank must be raw Pu'er tea. The tea

polyphenols, catechins and other substances in it all have strong irritation to your gastrointestinal

mucosa, especially for people with poor gastrointestinal tract."

The doctor looks over and over again at her examination report and suggests, "Miss Green, due to

your current situation, it's better for you to be hospitalized."

"No, just prescribe some medicine for me. I'll be fine if I take it." Poppy refuses the doctor’s suggest.

"Are you sure? Although you are still young, but if you have this stomach disease for a long time, it is

unlikely to be cured then." The doctor is still looking forward to her agreement.

But Poppy still refuses. She can still easily walk or jump now. How would it be so exaggerated? She

chooses to refuse the doctor's admission treatment plan.

The doctor have no choice but to say, "it's up to you. But if you still feel sick after taking the medicine,

you'll have to be hospitalized."

“All right.”

The doctor gives her the list of medicine and asks her to go to the pharmacy for the infusion.

After finishing the infusion, the pain in her stomach is relieved, but her face is still very pale. She feels a

little tired. When she comes to the lobby of the hospital, she happens to meet Mrs. Murphy, who comes

for further consultation.

Mrs. Murphy immediately sees Poppy from afar. "Isn't that Poppy?"

Daisy, who is next to her, looks to the direction that Mrs. Murphy is looking. Daisy get confused, too.

"Why Miss Green come to the hospital?"

Mrs. Murphy worries. She says, "What's the matter with her? Let's go and have a look."

They goes to Poppy. Hearing their sounds, Poppy has a pause of her footsteps, and her back is a little

stiff. She's in pain now, and doesn't want to spend her energy on Mrs. Murphy. But unexpectedly, Mrs.

Murphy has come to her.

Seeing Poppy's face, Mes. Murphy is startled. "Oh my god, what's the matter? Are you ill? You look so

pale."

Before Poppy says a word, Mrs. Murphy looks at her up and down again and asks, "why do you keep

your stomach covered?"

At first, Poppy wanted to seriously tell her that she was just suffering from stomach disease. But

looking at Mrs. Murphy's anxious expression, Poppy jokes, "I'm here to have an abortion. It's Kenny's

baby!"
