Take Me Away novel Chapter 143

"I heard that you haven't eaten either?"

A distant and sarcastic voice reverberated throughout the ward. Fiona straightened her shoulders and looked at the door unconsciously. When she saw the figure in the darkness, she pursed her lips but did not make any sound.

The high heels clicked as they hit the floor.

Celine walked in elegantly and clasped her arms against her chest. She put on a haughty look and remarked, "I know myself that pregnant women have no appetite."

Fiona narrowed her eyes in response to Celine's provocation. One thought repeatedly plagued her mind: Celine was pregnant with Spencer's child. Her head felt like it was being torn apart, and her chest was so heavy that she could hardly breathe. It had never occurred to her that one day, everything would just make sense to her. Today, amidst this challenging situation, she suddenly understood a lot of things.

For example, she felt an unexpected joy when she found out that she was going to have a baby with Spencer. She also felt heartbroken when he misunderstood her. Furthermore, the relationship between Celine and Spencer made her jealous. To sum it up, she had fallen in love with Spencer!

After realizing her true feeling towards Spencer, tears started to form in Fiona's eyes.

"Since the very beginning, my goal has been very clear." Celine was clad in the moonlight as she stood in front of the bed. Staring at Fiona's downcast face, she continued, "I don't want to do this, but you are Spencer's wife. So I can only turn myself against you. She touched her belly and added, "This baby is Spencer's flesh and blood."

'Bitch!' Fiona thought to herself as her heart was filled with jealousy and anger once again. Fiona gripped her clothes tightly and raised her head a little. Staring straight at Celine, she said in a deep and hoarse voice, "Celine, get out of here."

"Fiona, when are you going to divorce him?" Celine raised her eyebrows and ignored what Fiona just said.

"Divorce?" Gingerly, Fiona whispered the strange word to herself, as if she had heard it for the first time. Instantly, she felt averse to it. She had been through so much with Spencer. Even through the hard times, she had never thought of divorcing him. When it was suddenly mentioned by Celine, she felt an urge to defend their marriage. She loved Spencer so much that she didn't want to divorce.

"You don't want to divorce, do you?" Celine noticed the angry look on Fiona's face, and continued to provoke her. "That's right. Spencer is a good man, and it's only natural that you don't want to divorce him. However, there are things that you can't control. Even though Spencer's grandpa likes you very much, he won't accept that you have another man's baby. More importantly, Spencer's career prospects are beyond promising. If you stay by his side, you'll only stain his name and honor."

"Stain?" Fiona moved her stiff body to face Celine directly. "Why don't you believe me? The person in the video is not me..."

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't trust Charles." Celine gritted her teeth. "Do you know what kind of person he is?"

Frowning, Fiona was lost in thought. In his eyes, Charles was Ryan's brother, the CEO of ZR Company who established X.

"Since he had caught you once, you should already know that he's a capable man. Once he set his sights on something, he'll do everything to get it. There's no such thing as impossible for him. Since he is interested in you, how could he simply allow you to stay in the Cherry Grove Residence? Do you really believe that he'll just sit back and do nothing? How could he want you but not touch you? Will he let you walk out of his place without having you?!" Celine roared. When she finished, she couldn't help frowning because of the pain in her lower abdomen.

She knew what caused the pain. That night when she had slept with Spencer, he was very drunk. Although she enjoyed being with him, she had to endure his brusqueness. From that night on, her underbelly began to hurt, and she would bleed from time to time. She knew that the baby in her womb would not last too long, so she had to tell Spencer that she was pregnant in three days. Although it was risky, she had no other choice.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not," Fiona shrugged her shoulders and replied coolly. "You may leave now."

"Of course I will. But once I leave, I will head for M City." Celine took a step back and added, "I'm going back to the Cheng family residence to tell them about my baby."

"Celine! Are you crazy?" Fiona widened her eyes and jumped out of the bed at once. Because she hadn't moved for a long time, she almost fell over to the floor. When she had steadied her gait, she stared at Celine in disbelief. "You're not allowed to go back!" she shouted.

"Why?" Celine asked calmly. She took a step closer to Fiona.

"Grandpa is sick. You know clearly that his condition would worsen if you tell him!" Fiona forcefully grabbed Celine's sleeve and shouted at her face. "Are you crazy?"

"So what if I am crazy!" Celine sported a haughty smile as she removed Fiona's hand on her sleeve. "This is good news! I'm sure Grandpa will be very happy. I'm much better than you, aren't I?"

Fiona's face was red with anger as she continued to shout, "Don't you have any sense of shame? You are his sister! Why are you so..." She barely stopped herself from throwing expletives at Celine.

"Shameless?" Celine supplied. With a sneer, she grabbed Fiona's collar and pushed her towards the ward table.

"Celine, what are you doing?" Fiona was shocked. As she spoke, her back hit the corner of the table. Frightened, she covered her lower abdomen with one hand and pushed Celine backward with the other. "What are you doing?"

"Huh? Why do you care about Charles' child?" Celine snorted. She kept mentioning things that would anger Fiona.
