In the base, because Fiona was about to leave for a month, Sophia missed her so she asked George to take her to say goodbye to Fiona in the base. Along with him came Sarah and Ryan.
"That's it." When Eric walked out of the office with Fiona, he found several people standing at the door.
At the first glance, Eric saw the son in Sophia's arms. He was startled and asked, "Is this your child?"
"Yes." Fiona nodded.
"Wow Mom... " The next second, Sarah burst into tears and threw herself into Fiona's arms. "Mommy, don't go! She cried
"Good girl." Fiona took Sarah all of a sudden. She patted her back and said, "Don't cry, Sarah. I'll leave you for the last time. When I come back, let's be together again, okay? Mommy will stay at home with you every day. "
"Fiona, do you mean that Are you leaving the base? " Ryan stepped forward at once. The joy and excitement were evident in his eyes. "Has your superior approved you?"
"Yes." Fiona nodded.
"That's great!" After hearing that, Sophia immediately clapped her hands and touched Sarah's hair. Then she said happily, "Sarah, your mother has time to keep you company from now on!"
"But I want my mom now." The little guy put her arms around Fiona's neck tightly as if she was afraid that she would run away. Her face was wet with tears, and her little mouth was slightly pouted. She was very upset.
Standing aside, Eric thought highly of her in his mind, 'Great! She's exactly the same as what Spencer looked like when he was a kid!'! But even if that wasn't the reason, he didn't believe that Fiona had another man's baby. Fiona's child was actually Spencer's.
Eric smiled. But when he noticed the hostility in George's eyes, he immediately gave a friendly smile to him.
"Humph!" George snorted and looked away.
Eric rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"By the way, there's no danger in this drill, right? Are you going to participate in the exercise? " With worry written all over her face, Sophia said, "You can't even run. You'd better not participate in it."
"Gee." George frowned and suddenly knocked on Sophia's head. "Can't you say something sweet?"
"Well I didn't mean it! " After giving George an angry stare, Sophia turned to Fiona and said, "Bah, bah, Fiona, what I said is nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Be careful along the way. When you come back, I will celebrate for you. "
"Okay." Fiona said with a smile.
"Be careful on the way, Fiona." Said George.
"Thank you, George."
"Fiona..." With a warm smile on his face, Ryan looked at Fiona and said, "I'm waiting for you to come back too. Maybe your birthday hasn't come yet. I have prepared a special birthday gift for you. Remember to come back and take it."
"……" Fiona was speechless, feeling a bit guilty.
"Uncle Ryan, is there a gift for me?" Sarah blinked and was a little shy: "I also want a gift."
"Haha." Ryan touched Sarah's face tenderly and said, "Of course. You will celebrate your mother's birthday with her. There will be gifts for you. Uncle Ryan will give you a cake, okay? "
"Okay!" Sarah nodded and became happy again.
He must be plotting something. Looking at Ryan, Eric felt a little bit wronged. "Mr. Spencer has recovered his memory," he blurted out
They understood what he meant. The threatening smile on their faces broke into pieces.
Boom——
On the way to the military base, Fiona was sitting in the front passenger seat, with her head leaning against the window. Her body shook as the car went on. Her eyes were empty and distant.
It was getting dark. It had been five hours by car. She liked this kind of dark night, because her emotion could be maintained in the darkness, which would not be easily discovered by others.
She still remembered the desperate look in Ryan's eyes a moment ago and the angry looks on Sophia and George. But when she heard Eric's harsh words in the meeting room, her firm determination was gradually softened. She kept recalling the past in silence. Did she miss a lot with Spencer?
Ding——
The sudden ring of the phone interrupted Fiona's thoughts. With a shiver, she took out her phone. The two words' unknown call 'flickered on the screen of the cellphone. But Fiona did not answer it.
"Why didn't you answer it?" The male driver asked.
"A strange number." The phone was automatically hanged up after it rang for a long time. Fiona smiled faintly. When she was about to put the phone back, the phone rang again.
