Take Me Away novel Chapter 141

The loud voices of people arguing and yelling attracted bystanders. Doctors and nurses stood in a corner and whispered to one another as they watched. None of them dared to intervene.

Spencer was about to speak, but he froze when he saw the vulnerable expression on Fiona's face.

For every step he took towards her, she moved farther away from him. It was the first time in a long while that she'd mustered up the courage to tell Spencer her feelings for him. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

At that moment, Celine stepped forward and pointed at Fiona. In a snarky tone, she said, "Fiona, you are the last person here who can call us disgusting! If you're as innocent as you claim to be, then why did you sleep with Charles while you were in Cherry Grove Residence? And why are you still hiding the truth from Spencer that it is in fact Charles' child you're carrying in your belly?"

Upon hearing Celine's snide remarks, Fiona's mind went blank.

She stopped sobbing and stared at Celine in utter disbelief. "What did you say? Whose child did you say it is?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Come on, you're carrying Charles' baby!" Celine walked closer to her, taking one step a time. The closer she got, the more furious Fiona became. "Fiona, you've been hooking up with Charles for a long time now, isn't that right? I wasn't quite sure when I was working in the company. But now that I think about it, I think you've been hooking up with Charles since then. Who knows, you probably conspired with him and the two of you staged this whole kidnapping incident. But why did you come here after getting pregnant with his child? Were you hoping to gather information about Spencer and his next move so that you could leak that intel to Charles? Hmm?"

After saying those words, Celine eyed her as though she was going to swallow her whole. 'Why do Spencer and Charles treat Fiona like she is some prized treasure? What does she have that I don't? Well, now I've finally connected Fiona and Charles together. It will be a piece of cake to get them out of the equation this time!' she thought to herself.

"Celine! You'd better watch what you say!" Fiona's eyes were red with rage and her body trembled as she raised her hand and was about to slap the other woman.

"Fiona!" someone shouted all of a sudden. Everyone standing in the corridor froze in shock when they heard that voice. It was George. He had come out of his room after hearing all the commotion that was happening around him. He couldn't help but call Fiona's name out loud when he saw what was going on.

Fiona suddenly felt someone grab her arm tightly.

She raised her head and saw Spencer standing in front of her. Looking at his face, she couldn't help break into tears.

"Don't make a scene, Fiona!" Spencer stepped in front of Celine, protecting her from Fiona's slap.

"You think I'm the one being unreasonable here?" Fiona asked, choking back her tears. She suddenly remembered the day Spencer was informed about her pregnancy. Back then, he couldn't even bear to look her, and wasn't willing to hear the truth no matter how hard she tried to tell him. Feeling disheartened, she continued, "You don't trust me, do you? Do you think I conspired with Charles and staged my own kidnapping? You also think I'm carrying his child, don't you?"

Celine snapped, "Of course it's Charles' child! You—"

"Shut up!" Spencer interrupted Celine in a warning tone. He was about to say something more, but then he thought better of it. Instead, he grabbed Fiona's arm and dragged her away. "Come with me."

"I am not going anywhere with you!" Fiona abruptly pushed his hand away and wiped the tears off her face. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me how you really feel!"

Watching them all arguing, George turned to his assistant and said in a firm voice, "Give them some privacy. Get everyone out of here! Now!"

"Yes, sir!"

After saying those words, George turned and looked at Fiona's bony figure standing in the corridor. His blood boiled when he saw the way Spencer treated her. He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, causing the veins in his hands to bulge.

Spencer had never felt this miserable before. He was skilled in battle strategy and could win wars effortlessly, but he felt powerless when it came to winning over Fiona's heart.

"I don't think you conspired with Charles," Spencer said, feeling sorry for her.

"What about the video? And the child?" Fiona continued to ask as she locked eyes with him and studied his expression meticulously.

The corner of Spencer's lips stiffened. All of a sudden,

Fiona raised her hands and clapped loudly.

With a wry smile, she said, "I applaud you, Spencer! This has been an eye opener for me. You still don't believe my words. From the very first time I met you, you've always been cruel and mean to me. You make me believe that there's hope for us and then you break my heart over and over again. And now you even slept with your sister. If you only want to punish me, don't you think you've done enough of that already? Or do you want to see what I'm like when I'm completely broken? Will that satisfy you?"

Spencer clenched his jaw, feeling aggrieved. "Do you think I want to punish you after trying so hard to win over your heart? You keep saying that I don't believe you, but answer me truthfully⁠—do you believe me even in the slightest? I have loved you with all my heart. I have taken care of you and I've even promised you that I'll let go of everything to start a new life with you. But have you ever reciprocated my love? I told you that I only want you and no one else. I swore to you that I have no interest in Celine and she will only be a sister to me for as long as I live..."

"If that was true, why did you do what you did three days ago?" Fiona roared, interrupting him before he could finish his sentence. Spencer was about to retort, but when he saw how weary she was from all the arguing, his anger immediately disappeared.

"What happened three days ago was an accident! I didn't do it on purpose! It was a mistake," he said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

"I want to be alone for a while." Fiona clutched her chest and turned to leave.

"Fiona!" However, Spencer wouldn't let her go. He grabbed her arm and took the chance to lift her up when she turned around. Carrying her in his arms, he walked to the door of the closest ward, kicked the door open, and locked the door from the inside.

"Spencer!" As soon as Celine saw them leave, she rushed behind them and started knocking on the door.
