Take Me Away novel Chapter 81

"I'll go with you," Fiona said abruptly. "I want to see Ryan off too!"

"What? Um, okay!" Sophia said. "If you come, I bet Ryan will be happy."

"I'll be coming from the hospital and I'll go straight to the airport."

"Are you going to take a bus? If that's what you're going to do, he would have already left by the time you arrive. I can take a taxi going to the hospital first, and then we go to the airport together," Sophia offered.

"Okay," Fiona replied, biting her lips

"Which hospital?"

Fiona told her the location of the hospital and said, "I'll wait for you at the entrance."

"Okay."

When Fiona hung up the call, she fondly caressed the Comic Bear on the bed before getting up. These days, she felt much better. Still, she felt dizzy whenever she got out of bed.

Fiona shook her head as she began to look for her clothes.

Ruby came with Fiona's breakfast. When she opened the door, she saw Fiona going through her clothes which meant she was probably going out. She asked, "Mrs. Cheng, where are you going?"

"Ruby, I have something to deal with now. I need to go out." Placing her clothes on the edge of the bed, Fiona took off her hospital gown and said, "Ruby, could please help me go through the discharge procedure?"

"No... no way!" Ruby hurried to catch her. "Don't you know what's happened to your body? You've only been resting for a few days. How could you be discharged right away? I won't let you go!"

Fiona was nowhere near as strong as Ruby. She pleaded, "Ruby, please, I'm feeling fine. Let me go!"

"No way!"

"Well, then we don't need to go through the discharge procedure," Fiona compromised. "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back in the afternoon."

"No way!" Ruby was still firm on her decision.

"But... Ruby, I'm begging you. A friend of mine, who has been so good to me, is leaving to study abroad," Fiona explained. "If I don't even see him off, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Ruby, please! Please..."

"Mrs. Cheng, it's not that I don't want to, it's just..."

"Ruby, I will take good care of myself. I will be fine," Fiona assured, firmly shaking Ruby's hand. "I promise I'll be back safe and sound. I just need to see off my good friend. Don't worry about me."

"Well, okay, I guess," Ruby agreed reluctantly. "But you need to be back by tonight."

"Okay!" Fiona nodded as she started to change out of her hospital gown. "Thank you, Ruby!"

When Fiona left, Ruby shook her head helplessly and quickly dialed Spencer's number. However, it seemed that his phone had been turned off. Sighing, she ended the call.

At ZR Company's design department

Someone knocked on the door to Celine's office.

"Come in," Celine said without looking up.

"Our company's performance will definitely improve as long as we have more hard-working designers like you." Charles walked in, a faint smile on his face. He continued, "It's a pity that someone who is diligent but talentless still can't succeed no matter how hard she tries."
