Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 40

It had been nearly four years since that had happened.

It was the second day after the accident of her father and Celine, Poppi woke up from the hospital bed, with a splitting headache.

"Poppi, you wake up?" Shirley asked with concern as she walked over to Poppi and helped her up, "the doctor said that you would wake up very soon. It is true. But you are still having a fever. Do you want the doctor to come? "

Only Shirley was in the room. Poppi opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice as if her throat was covered with sand, "Why are you here, Shirley?"

"The doctor called me." Shirley smiled and said nothing more. In fact, the doctor didn't call her intentionally, but called the telephone numbers on Poppi's contact list one by one. Only she came. She didn't understand why the boyfriend called Benson Ji of Poppi didn't come.

"Doctor..." Poppi muttered to herself. Suddenly, she thought of something and opened her eyes wide, which were full of blood red. She grabbed Shirley's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "where are my father and my sister? Where's Celine? How are they? "

"Don't be so excited! Shirley comforted her. Calm down! Look at yourself! How can you still be in the mood to care about them! They are in the hospital. "

"Are they all right?" "Last night I only remember that there is a lot of blood no way! Where are they?! I'm going to find them! " As she spoke, she got off the bed, with her gesture being quite violent.

"Nonsense!" When she heard what Poppi said, she broke out into curses and pressed on his body to stop her from moving and yelled, "Poppi! It's useless to go now! A person's brain was dead and another was a vegetative state. There is no way that they can wake up even if you see them! So, first you have to take good care of your wounds, okay! !"

Buzz

Something seemed to explode in her head. Poppi's face turned pale and opened her mouth but failed to take a breath. She fainted softly.

"Poppi!" Shirley's anxious voice went far away until disappeared.

"The subscriber you dialed is power off. Please wait..."

"What do you think, Poppi? Didn't Benson Ji answer the phone? "

After two days of rest, Poppi had calmed down and had nothing to do with the fact that her father and sister might not wake up. Although she was still weak, she would not pass out easily. However, the fact that there was no news about him made her restless.

Poppi shook her head and answered, "no, I can't get through to him."

"Didn't you come back with him for the summer vacation?" Shirley sat on the edge of the bed and said, "you have just come back for three days. Have you ever called him since you said goodbye to him?"

"He called me that night, but I couldn't get through to him the next day." Poppi zipped her lips and said, "there is something wrong with our family. My father asked me to pack up my things with Celine and take us out of Ye city. I'm not in the mood to call him again. Last night Then we were in trouble. "

Shirley held Poppi's hand and asked cautiously, "did your father tell you what happened? As you said, it seems that those people want to harm you on purpose. Your father knows it well in his heart. Do you know what happened? "

"I don't know." Poppi shook her head painfully. She was studying in another city and only went back home half a year, so she had more chance to make phone calls to Celine. However, she was not close to her father and seldom contacted with him, so how could she know what had happened.

"Now that you don't know the truth, just let it go. Anyway, we have called the police. Let them investigate it." "Now, all you need to do is to have a good rest. As for your father and Celine, they can only try their best as the doctor said."

Saying this, Poppi lowered her eyes even more. Since the accident that day, the total amount of the hospital's bill had reached six figures. That was to say, Poppi was now several hundred thousand in debt. As long as she did her best, how could she get so much money?

The father and the daughters had been used to this kind of life. Every year, they relied on the only 7% of the shares owned by Poppi. And their savings did not exist in their family.

"I still have some if you don't have enough money. Though it's not too much, it's enough for you to eat." Of course Shirley knew what Poppi was worrying about.

Poppi gave a grateful look to Shirley and said, "Thanks God you are still here, Shirley."

"We are the best friends!" Shirley rubbed the hair of Poppi and said: "I will give you the money soon. I earned it to as a plane model and worked in part time."

"I can't take your hard-working money." Poppi shook her head and sighed, "I have an idea. I can sell 7% shares of the Quan Group to solve the pressing problem first. "

After thinking for a while, she said: "but if you sell your shares, you will not have any guarantee at all! Although I always feel that your father doesn't treat you well, he has given all his shares to you. Isn't it good for you to sell it again? "

"We have no other choice now." Poppi sighed.

At this moment, her phone rang

"It's Benson Ji," While they were talking, the phone of Poppi rang, which had already pointed out by the sharp eyed of Shirley. Then she shouted with surprise, "your boyfriend finally called you! I'm going to the washroom! " With that, she left happily.

The corners of Poppi's mouth also curved up a little, then she felt a little relieved and answered the phone, "hello? "Benson?"

"Poppi." He was not too loud, but there was a hint of alienation in his voice.

"What?" Poppi was confused that he did not call her nickname.

"Where are you? I have something to tell you. Would you mind coming out? "

Benson's voice was still as gentle as usual. But thinking of her current situation, Poppi hesitated, "do you have to be here today?"

"It's very important. I have to see you today."

Benson had never said such words to her in such a heavy tone. Hearing that, Poppi couldn't help frowning and said, "okay. Will you come to me or me? "
