Take Me Away novel Chapter 86

It was snowing early in the morning when the people of M City started their day.

Spencer had stayed in Celine's ward the entire night while Fiona had gone home to sleep. She didn't want to torment herself by seeing their love.

As soon as she reached the hospital, she headed to Ryan's ward. Ryan was sitting on the bed while several people gathered around him. The silhouette of his well-sculpted body couldn't be hidden under the humble hospital robe.

Seeing this scene, Fiona stopped right at the door. 'I'll come back when he's alone,' she thought to herself.

"Hey, Fiona!" Just as she was about to turn around and head back, Sophia rushed to her and stopped her. "Why are you leaving? You came to see Ryan, right?"

"I'll come back later!" Fiona glanced at the ward again and saw a well-dressed woman wiping her tears. 'That must be his mom,' she thought to herself. Next to the woman stood a middle-aged man who was somewhat obese. Fiona could tell from observing his features that he bore a lot of resemblance to Ryan. 'Could he be Ryan's father?

I can't go in when his parents are with him.'

"Don't wait here any longer! Sophia grabbed her arm. "The first thing he asked when he woke up is if you were all right. You can't leave!"

"Sophia, don't do that..."

Before she could ease herself out of Sophia's grip, the latter pulled her into the ward. "Ryan, look! Fiona's here!"

Suddenly, all eyes were on her.

"Hi, Fiona!" Ryan straightened up. He'd been eagerly waiting for her arrival. "How are you? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Fiona smiled and greeted his parents. "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Wen."

"Hmm," Ryan's father replied coolly. There was a sudden awkwardness in the air.

It was because of her that Ryan had gotten shot in the arm. At least Ryan's father wasn't blaming her for that, and that was all she could expect from him.

Fiona moved to the side as the ward was a little crowded.

Sophia swallowed, feeling nervous. She felt like she'd pushed Fiona into trouble again.

"Fiona, come over here." Ryan signaled for her to come closer.

"It's okay, Ryan. I'm glad to see that you're all right now. I need to get going."

"Fiona..."

"You seem to be in a hurry, Miss Ji. Are you trying to flee? Ryan took a bullet for you. And you want to leave now?"

"Father—" Ryan was about to stop his father when Charles interrupted him.

"Father, you never wanted to meet her in the first place. Now that she wants to leave, you won't let her go. Why is that?"

The man scowled at Charles. Charles always hated to meddle in other people's affairs. It was unusual for him to defend anyone. But now he was defending Fiona.

The old man had heard a lot about her already, because she had charmed both his sons to the point where they were willing to go out of line for her.

Fiona was stunned. 'Is Charles really putting in a good word for me?'

The old man waved his hand. "I've stayed up all night looking after Ryan. I'm exhausted! I need to head back. But keep this in mind, Miss Ji. Not everyone is worthy of my son."

Then, he got up and left with his wife.

As soon as the door of the ward closed behind them,

Ryan let out a self-deprecating laugh. "My dad is clueless. I'm the one who's not worthy of you, Fiona."
