After seeing the injured George, Fiona cried until she was out of breath. Recalling Leona and her fate at the hands of Charles, she couldn't stop herself from wailing. So many people had been hurt and killed in order to save her, and it broke her heart to be the cause of their pain.
"Let's go back to your ward. Please stop crying," Spencer said as he tried to help Fiona move.
"I can go by myself," she stubbornly replied. Dismissing Spencer's concern, she staggered ahead of him.
His eyes dimmed for a brief moment, but he eventually followed his wife.
It was almost noon when he received a call from Wayne. The old man told him that he had been missing him and Fiona. He had no idea about the terror both of them had gone through in the last couple of days.
"We're doing great, Grandpa. Please take good care of yourself. Fiona and I will visit you in a couple of days," Spencer said cheerfully from his end of the line.
"Hand Fiona the phone. I want to talk to her," Wayne said. "I asked your father where you went, but he didn't tell me."
Spencer could only press his lips. Ethan had given him permission to go abroad, but it seemed that he had kept it hidden from Wayne.
"Fiona, Grandpa wants to talk to you," Spencer said as he gave her the phone.
With a nod, Fiona took it and greeted her grandfather-in-law. "Grandpa," she called softly.
"How are you doing, Fiona? You haven't called me in such a long time. Have you forgotten me?"
"Of course not!" Fiona sniffed as she tried to hold back her tears. "I miss you very much. I couldn't call because my phone is broken. How's your health, Grandpa?"
"I'm fine, dear. It's you who should take care of yourself. I hope you're doing well, Fiona. Spencer has a bad temper. If he makes you angry, just tell me and I'll punish him for you."
"There's nothing to worry about. He treats me very well." Seeing Fiona's eyes brimming with tears made Spencer's heart twist in pain.
"That's great! I haven't been sleeping well these last few days. I was worried that something had happened to you two. Please take care of one another, okay?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Fiona replied, her voice cracking from holding herself back from crying. Spencer walked up to her and wiped off her tears. He was about to hug her for comfort, but Fiona immediately evaded his arms.
