Take Me Away novel Chapter 15

The car went all the way to the downtown area. The atmosphere inside was very depressing. Silence hung heavy in the air.

For a moment, Fiona found it hard to accept the fact that her work had really been destroyed. She just sat there, still, hugging herself. She was traumatized.

Spencer was really insane! She couldn't imagine what he would do if they actually went ahead and got married. He had an awful temper. She was in big trouble now! What should she do now? Call off the engagement and save herself from a life of misery?

Spencer was driving fast, and he couldn't help biting his lips in remorse. He glanced at Fiona from time to time through the rear-view mirror. When he saw the despondent look on her face, he felt ashamed of himself. Why was he reduced to forcing a little girl? It was the first time he had done something so despicable.

However,

on second thought, he thought Fiona deserved this. He hated her in the first place. So he should be happy to see her upset. This was exactly what he wanted, wasn't it?

Fiona didn't know where they were now. Suddenly a bird cried out from a tree outside. She subconsciously turned her head to look out of the window.

Seeing her movements, Spencer breathed an unexpected sigh of relief. Her eyes were so pure and innocent that it made him feel like an asshole for hurting her.

They arrived at the hospital late afternoon.

Wayne had been transferred to the general ward. He looked energetic now. As soon as Spencer and Fiona entered his room, he was overjoyed.

"Grandpa!" Spencer went to his bedside.

"Grandpa." Fiona followed him and stood on the other side of the bed.

"You're finally here! My poor Fiona." Grandpa turned to look at her and asked concernedly, "How is it going? How are you? Tell me, did Spencer bully you? If he did, I'll help you teach him a lesson."

Determined to spill the beans, Fiona plucked up the courage and opened her mouth. Her palms were full of cold sweat. "Grandpa, I...I want..."

When he heard the words "I want", Spencer's eyes dimmed. He had already guessed what she would say next. His heart trembled.

'Fiona wants to call off the engagement! She really wants to go back on her promise of marriage! And she couldn't wait to tell Grandpa as soon as she entered the room!'

Spencer was a little anxious.

"Fiona, what's wrong?" Old as he was, Wayne was very sharp. Looking at Fiona's hesitation, he knew that she wanted to something to tell him. "Don't be afraid. Just tell me!!"

"Dad!"

The sudden sound outside the door broke the silence. Spencer's father arrived!

Ethan strode into the ward in a sprightly manner with a folder in his hand.

He smiled when he saw Spencer and Fiona standing there. "Looks like I'm here just in time."

"Hi, Uncle Ethan," Fiona greeted and swallowed her words.

"Dad!" Spencer also greeted his father but kept a close watch on Fiona the whole time.

"What is that in your hand?" Wayne asked.

"This is for Fiona," Ethan said with a smile. He handed the folder to her.

Fiona took it doubtfully. Ethan said, "Go on, open it and have a look."

Under everyone's curious gaze, Fiona opened the folder and saw a lot of paper materials inside. The last item was...

"An offer?!" Fiona's eyes lit up. She quickly drew out D University's offer Letter, and exclaimed, "Grandpa, I'm going to D University!"

"Great!" Wayne let out a hearty laugh. "Fiona, you're awesome!"

Seeing the joy on Fiona's face, Spencer couldn't help but smile. He was about to congratulate her when suddenly the light in her eyes dimmed. She turned her head and hid her expression from him.

He cursed inwardly.
