Take Me Away novel Chapter 138

"Mr. Cheng? Mr. Cheng?" After the doctor enumerated his findings, Spencer became speechless. Confused, the doctor approached him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, are you so excited that you don't know what to do?"

When Spencer raised his eyebrows, he immediately snapped out of his daze and back to his senses. He then forced a smile and said, "Yes."

The doctor didn't realize how Spencer basically lied through his teeth. Instead, he just nodded and said, "Well, if that's the case, I guess I'll leave first. I'll make sure she gets the medicine she needs. It's better to have an intravenous drip since we still don't know when she'll wake up."

"Mm," Spencer answered, still in a trance. As soon as the doctor turned around the corner, he felt like his soul came back to him and hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute!"

"Mr. Cheng, do you need anything else?" the doctor asked, once again looking confused.

After a short pause, he asked, "How long has Fiona been pregnant? Is it seven or ten days?"

"I'm afraid we have no way of knowing. We can only be sure that it isn't more than ten days," the doctor replied.

"Is there a way for you to tell me the exactly when she got pregnant?"

"I'm afraid not," the doctor answered him, shaking his head.

Spencer stood still, silent and motionless. After a few passing moments, the doctor realized how Spencer's face was getting paler and paler as the seconds ticked by. He became concerned and asked worriedly, "Mr. Cheng, is anything wrong? What is happening?"

"No, nothing. Please don't worry about me," he said. After that, he waved his hand as if to dismiss the doctor. The doctor then nodded and left quietly with the report in his hand.

It was so quiet inside the room that if someone dropped a pin, one would be able to hear the sound it would make. Spencer was still motionless, and soon, he began to feel his hands and feet become cold, just like his heart. With tear stains on her pale, beautiful face, Fiona was breathing steadily in the bed.

Spencer moved slowly and silently towards the edge of the bed. He pressed his lips together as he reached out for Fiona's belly. There was a need deep inside him to feel the little baby in her womb that hadn't even formed yet. Slowly, his hand neared Fiona's stomach.

"Damn it!" he cursed out loud when he was only centimeters away from touching the woman lying in the bed. He then retracted his shaking hand. His hesitation came from the fact that the child might not be his. If Fiona had been pregnant for seven days, the baby was undoubtedly his. Unfortunately, if she had been pregnant for more than eight days, there was no way it would be his, since Fiona was still in Cherry Grove Residence at that time. He dared not to think more about it!

Celine made her way into the infirmary mainly because Spencer hadn't come back for a long time. When she saw the doctor coming out of Fiona's ward, she stopped him and asked, "Do you know where Spencer is?"

"Mr. Cheng is in the third ward now as Mrs. Cheng is still in a coma. Miss Cheng, I think it would be better if you'd let them be for a moment."

"She's still in a coma?" Celine asked, frowning. She glanced at the report in the doctor's hand and asked, "Why is she still in a coma? Is she seriously ill? What are your findings?"

"Oh, she's not ill," the doctor revealed with a smile on his face. "Actually, it's good news!"

"Good news?"

"Yes, Mrs. Cheng is pregnant!"

"Pregnant?" Celine repeated, her eyes as wide as disks. Shock and disbelief were evident in her voice. "Fiona is pregnant?!"

"Yes!" the doctor replied. Before he could say anything more, however, he saw Spencer coming out of Fiona's ward. "Mr. Cheng?" he called out.

Celine immediately turned her head and the first thing she saw was the stern expression on Spencer's face. As if he didn't see the two people standing along the corridor, he passed them and strode forward. He didn't need to say anything else as his tall, imposing figure already intimidated everyone who saw him.

"Spencer! Spencer!" Celine shouted as she tried to catch up with Spencer. When she finally did, she asked anxiously, "Is she pregnant?"

Spencer's eyes narrowed and he cast a stern glance at Celine. "There is no need for you to know anything," he said.

Such words stunned Celine. She didn't know why Spencer was acting this way. In the blink of an eye, Spencer had already turned a corner and disappeared from sight.

'Damn it...' Celine, however, didn't give up and continued to run after him. "Spencer! Where are you going?!"

An off-road vehicle had just stopped outside the infirmary. Spencer walked up to it and said gloomily, "Give me the car keys."

"What? Oh! Okay!" The soldier nodded nervously and immediately got out of the car. "Mr. Cheng, what are you going to do?" he asked.

"Mind your own goddamn business!" Spencer bellowed. He then grabbed the soldier by the collar and shook him off. He quickly got in the car, started the engine, stepped on the gas, and drove off like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!"

"Spencer!" Celine saw the scene unfold but she wasn't able to do anything. Despite that, she wasn't willing to just let Spencer go—she ran after the car as fast as she could while shouting, "Spencer! Stop! Please!"

However, the car didn't stop. Celine only met a cloud of dust and smoke as continued running behind the speeding car. "Spencer..."
