Take Me Away

At the M City Hospital

After hanging up on Fiona, Spencer walked into the ward and called, "Grandpa!"

"Spencer!" Wayne turned his head and watched as Spencer approached. Noting the absence of Fiona, he asked curiously, "Didn't Fiona come with you?"

"She's busy preparing lunch for you, but she will definitely follow soon." Spencer sat on the chair beside the bed. Exhaustion was written all over his face.

Wayne looked at him and asked, "Did you stay with Fiona last night?"

"Of course not." Spencer shook his head. "Why do you ask?"

"You look tired."

The young man smiled as he remarked, "Grandpa, you're thinking too much."

"Why keep it from me, Spencer? I know everything," the old man said with a mischievous grin. "Although you two haven't gotten your marriage license yet, there's nothing wrong with living together. You don't have to hide it from me. In fact, I'm looking forward to having a great-grandson soon!"

"I'm not hiding anything from you, Grandpa. I was at Terence's company last night and I was helping him with his program. I was working all night."

With a trace of impatience in his tone, Wayne asked, "So when am I going to have a great-grandson? I can't wait for you forever. Even if you get Fiona pregnant now, the baby won't be born until next year. Alas! If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't even get to meet him."

"Don't say such things, Grandpa! You'll live a long and happy life," Spencer said. "Don't worry. Soon enough, you'll be surrounded with not just one, but a whole bunch of great-grandchildren, who will badger you to tell them stories about your heroic deeds."

Wayne was amused by the prospect. He laughed as he said, "They're going to be just like you when you were a child. I never expected that you're going to marry so soon."
