Take Me Away novel Chapter 140

"Spencer, how are you?" Celine asked nervously as she hurried over to his bedside.

"What are you doing here?" Spencer still hadn't recovered from the shock as his body continued to quiver. A few fragments of memories flashed through his mind.

"What am I doing here?" Celine said sweetly before looking away shyly. She then added, "Hurry, get up from the floor!"

"How could this be?" Spencer lowered his head as he pulled his hair in vexation. He growled, "What the hell happened last night? What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Celine asked. "Last night, you got drunk. And then we slept together..."

Spencer looked dumbfounded. He felt as if his entire world was spinning. "Shut up! Shut up! Get out! Get out of here!"

Startled, Celine shrank back, looking as if she was about to cry. "Okay, okay. I'm leaving. Anyway, we both wanted it. I'm not asking for anything. I just want to spend one night with you and I'm satisfied with that!" She then slowly made her way to the bed.

"What? We both wanted it? What do you mean by that?" Spencer suddenly raised his head. His eyes were red with anger. "That's impossible!"

"Why not?" Turning to look at him, Celine continued, "Perhaps in your heart, you still love me. You probably don't love Fiona as much as you think. Don't you remember? Last night, you clearly knew who I was yet you still slept with me. I don't blame you, Spencer. I love you and I wanted to do it."

"Fuck off! Get out of here!" Spencer suddenly grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it on the wall.

"I'm leaving but don't blame yourself, Spencer. I'm not asking for anything." Then she opened the door and left. As soon as she went out, Celine suddenly bent down and clutched her stomach. Her face twisted from the pain. Her stomachache felt odd, as if something was falling inside. She thought inwardly, 'No, baby, you can't...'

"Argh!" There was a sudden roar in the room. Spencer hit his bed with his fist in regret and anger.

He felt like an asshole. How could he do such a terrible thing? How could he have slept with Celine? How could he betray Fiona?

"You're not Fiona! Who the hell are you? Tell me!"

A memory flashed in his mind. All of a sudden, Spencer froze with his hand clutching his head. It turned out that what Celine had said was true. He knew who she was and yet he still...

Three days later, in the ward of the infirmary

Tick tock...

It was nearly noon when Fiona slowly opened her eyes. It took a while before she realized what was happening as a vague voice rang in her ears.

"Fiona, are you awake? Wake up!" A voice called anxiously in her ear. Fiona moved her stiff neck and noticed a man standing near her bed. "George?"

"It's me. How are you feeling, Fiona?"

"I'm fine. How long was I asleep?"

"You were out for three days. I was so scared. I didn't know about it until this morning. So I came to see you right away. They all tried to hide it from me." George smoothed Fiona's hair and asked, "Shall I call a doctor for you?"

"No, thanks." Fiona shook her head. When she saw George sitting on a wheelchair, she asked, "How're your legs, George?"

"Still the same." George smiled. "Don't mind me and my legs. What about you? How are you? Why did you leave the ward only to be sent back? I heard that Spencer sent you here like a madman that day. Once he finds out you're awake, he'll definitely come."

With a slight smile, Fiona replied, "Maybe."

When George noticed that Fiona didn't want to talk about Spencer, he carefully asked, "How are things between you and Spencer?"

"Nothing." Fiona shook her head. Hadn't she always been like that whenever it came to Spencer? They had been intimate with each other but they had never confessed their feelings to each other. Neither of them believed in each other but they lived together and saw each other every day.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door of the ward was pushed open. When the doctor saw that Fiona was awake, he smiled and said, "I estimated that you'd be up around this time. I knew it. So, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." Nodding her head slightly, the disappointment and sadness flashed across Fiona's eyes. Why didn't Spencer come?

"Mrs. Cheng, you should take it easy. You should control your temper. Your health is poor so you should be more careful. You're not just thinking about yourself anymore. You have to consider the life inside of you."

"What? What are you talking about?" Fiona asked in confusion

"Oops, I forgot to tell you. Congratulations, Mrs. Cheng." The doctor smiled. "You're pregnant! The baby's around seven to ten days old."

"Pregnant?" George repeated in utter shock. "What? Pregnant?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded.

"Oh, my God! That's great news!" Upon hearing this, George turned to look at Fiona and held her hand. He said excitedly, "Fiona, did you hear that? You're pregnant! You've really grown up! You're going to be a mother!"

Fiona opened her mouth slightly as she absentmindedly caressed her stomach. Her eyes became red all of a sudden. "George, I... I'm pregnant!"

"Yes, you're pregnant!" George took Fiona in his arms and rubbed her back. "Congratulations!" "Fiona!"

The door opened again!

This time it was Spencer who had come in.
