Take Me Away novel Chapter 65

After bandaging Fiona's feet, the doctor stood up and said, "Her injury is very serious, so it will take three to four weeks to heal. The dressing should be changed once a day."

Before he could continue, Fiona pointed at the wound on Spencer's arm and hurriedly said, "Doctor, look at his arm. It was scratched by a huge dog! It's bleeding!"

"Of course. Spencer has good endurance. This small wound is nothing to worry about. Please don't worry, Mrs. Cheng. I promise he will be fine."

'Mrs. Cheng?' Fiona was embarrassed to hear someone addressing her this way.

"I... I'm not... Don't call me that..." she stammered softly, blushing. But as she spoke, she raised her head and saw Spencer raise his eyebrows at her. Her face suddenly turned even redder.

"What? Mrs. Cheng, what did you say?" the doctor asked, fiddling with the anti-inflammatory injection.

Before Fiona could reply, Spencer said, "She didn't say anything." Then, he took off his coat, bared his arm, and urged, "Do it quickly."

"Okay." The doctor nodded. When Fiona saw Spencer's bare upper body, she quickly turned her head away, too shy to look at him.

"How did you fall down into the valley, Fiona? Were you walking down the trail yourself?" Spencer suddenly asked.

"Yes. I was walking on the trail on my own, because I couldn't get reception on my cellphone," Fiona lied, giving an embarrassed nod.

"Who were you talking to on the phone?"

"Ryan." Caught off guard, Fiona nervously fidgeted with her fingers. A surge of guilt set in her heart.

Just as she expected, after hearing what she said, Spencer snorted with disdain and asked, "And then?"

"Then..." She paused, recalling how hateful Leona had been this afternoon and how she had said that she would kill her. Thinking of that, she furrowed her eyebrows deeply. She was terrified.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Fiona's expression, Spencer knew clearly that there was more to the story. The marks on the trail didn't look natural. "Who pushed you down?" he asked.

"How did you know?" Fiona raised her head in surprise.

Raising his eyebrows, Spencer asked coldly, "Who was it?"

Fiona pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't hide it from him. "Leona."

"Really? She dared to push you down?" By then, the doctor had finished bandaging the wound on his arm. Spencer stood up and took out a pistol from his pocket. "Then she should go to hell!"

"Spencer, what are you doing?" Out of fear, Fiona grabbed his hand that was holding the gun. "Calm down! Please let me finish. Put down the gun!"

"Spencer!" the doctor said quickly. "Don't make any rash decisions. Please think twice!"

Spencer looked at the doctor and barked, "Get out!" Then, he turned to Fiona. "Go on!"

"But I haven't checked if there's any wound on Mrs. Cheng's body," the doctor protested.

"Leave the first aid kit and go away."

"Okay," the doctor said. Not daring to argue with Spencer, he pouted his lips and left the room in dejection.

"Give me a reason not to kill her. Otherwise, she won't live to see the moon tonight." Spencer threw the gun on the bedside table.

"You may be put to death if you kill her. Do you want to throw your life away because of her?" Fiona replied.

"Humph!" Spencer snorted. "She was trying to kill you! You can't be so kind."

Fiona smiled. "I know people will bully me if I'm too kind. But I can't be impulsive, right? I just want to have a talk with her. I think she has gone a little mad recently."

"Why did she push you down the mountain? Why has she gone mad?"

"Because of Ryan! He called me, and then..." Fiona related everything to him.

After hearing what she had said, Spencer could not help but roll his eyes at her. "Ah, so it's not Ryan's fault. Do you believe that he didn't sleep with Leona?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Yes!" Fiona nodded her head fiercely, not noticing the sarcasm in his words. "I believe Ryan!"

Spencer was too angry to say anything in response, so he shouted, Just go to sleep! We'll talk tomorrow!"

"You want to sleep here?" Fiona was startled.

"Why not?" Spencer leaned closer. "We've already had sex."

Fiona's face immediately turned red. "I need to take a shower. You go to sleep first."

"Oh, you want to take a shower?" With a sly smile, Spencer suddenly lifted her up and carried her to the bathroom.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Fiona was taken aback. "Put me down!"

"Aren't you going to take a shower? Let me help you! It'll be convenient for you with your injured foot. I'll also help you clean your wound."
