Take Me Away novel Chapter 69

Night fell in the scenic spot of the Maple Mountain.

Fiona spent the whole day sketching and enjoying the scenery in the secluded place. Spencer left his cellphone in the room to leave it charging the entire day. As soon as they returned to their room, he picked up his phone and called Terence.

"Hello?"

There was an obvious smile in Terence's voice that came from the other end of the line. "How's it going, Spencer? How does it feel to be Fiona's hero?"

"What hero?" Spencer asked.

"Well, don't play dumb!" Terence teased. "I heard that Fiona got into an accident in the Maple Mountain so you rushed there right away. I think you deserve to be called a hero. How's her foot? Is it getting better?"

"Damn it. You sly fox!" Spencer sighed. "I truly can't keep anything from you!"

Terence chuckled. "Why are you calling me at this hour?" Terence asked.

"I have something to ask you." Spencer's voice changed into a serious tone. "I have a question about Leona. Didn't you say that she works in your bar? How is she recently?"

"Leona? What do you want to know about her?"

"That woman's terrible," said Spencer. "She pushed Fiona down the mountain. I think I need to teach her a lesson."

"How?" Terence raised his eyebrows. "You're a man. You don't really intend to fight a girl."

"Am I wrong?" Spencer roared. "She has attempted murder! You can't just let something like that go. She might cause more troubles in the future!"

"That makes sense." Terence nodded. "Well, do you want me to teach her a lesson for you?"

"That's not necessary." Spencer narrowed his eyes. "You just need to watch over her for a few days. Don't let her escape. But if you do come up with any ideas to ruin her reputation, please let me know. I won't let her continue studying in D University!"

"I understand."

"Spencer! I'm finished!"

Terence heard a distant voice cried out from Spencer's end. "Are you with Fiona now?" he asked curiously. "None of

your business. Just do as I said. Bye!" Spencer hung up.

Right after, his expression changed. A bright smile formed on his face as he ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Are you done? Have you finished?"

From the other side, there was the sound of a lock clicking open. The door opened wide to reveal Fiona in her bathrobe with her face red. She looked at Spencer and said, "Yes."

His breath stagnated. "Let me carry you out!"

Spencer led Fiona towards the bed. When she sat down, he untied the bandage on her ankle and applied medicine again. He was being unconsciously gentle and careful.

After he took care of the wound, it was Fiona's turn to change his medicine.

She also handled his wound with great care. Unfortunately, he was moving a lot throughout the day and so the wound was infected.

"What if you get hurt outside? Do you need to take a doctor with you when you are on a mission?" Fiona asked.

"Well, we will bring a doctor with us. But we don't have the time to deal with our wounds on battlefield." After he finished speaking, he grabbed Fiona's sketchpad and skimmed through the sketches.
