Take Me Away

As soon as those words were heard, the room became as silent as a grave. That moment, both Fiona's and Celine's eyes went wide with shock. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. Celine opened her mouth, surprised, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Spencer..." Her eyes twinkled as she called out to him.

Celine's voice pulled Fiona back to reality. Shocked, she took a few steps back and tears started rolling down her cheeks. She felt as if her entire life had fallen apart. With quivering lips, she choked back her tears and asked a second time, "What did you say, Spencer?"

"Didn't you hear what I just said? You need to either have an abortion or divorce me," Spencer said impassively.

"Divorce..." Fiona repeated with great difficultly. Spencer's emotionless words and his heartlessness towards her and their marriage shattered her heart into pieces. How could he even say the word "divorce" so effortlessly? Was he deliberately trying to embarrass her in front of Celine?

"So, have you decided yet?" Spencer didn't give her any time to think about it and aggressively prompted her again. "Tell me, what is your choice?"

"I..." Fiona felt bile rise in her throat. She opened her mouth, only to find tears trickling down her cheeks.

She lowered her head, not wanting to look at their faces, and cried so hard that her body started trembling. Spencer stared at her without uttering a single word. He had his back to Celine, so she couldn't read his expression.

Fiona cried for a long time without saying a word.

"I just went through a miscarriage and you're here weeping in my ward. Are you doing this to mock me for my bad luck?" Celine asked impatiently after waiting for a while, breaking the uncomfortable silence in the room. Truth be told, she felt more annoyed because of Spencer's attitude towards Fiona. Regardless of his cold and indifferent words, he still didn't send her away.

"Fiona, I'm asking you again, do you choose—"

"Divorce,"

Fiona blurted out softly before Spencer could finish his words. However, her heart was weighed down with sorrow.

Her answer caught Spencer off guard. He opened his mouth in surprise before his face darkened. He was the one who had given her an ultimatum, forcing her to choose. Yet, he felt powerless when she finally gave him her answer.

He almost felt as if he couldn't breathe when he heard that word coming out of Fiona's mouth. Spencer had once been a master at holding his breath, when he was in an endurance training program. He used to be able to hold his breath underwater for several minutes, but now, he was gasping for breath. No words could describe the pain he was feeling at that moment. It was almost as if he was sinking in the ocean and his lungs were filled with salty sea water. He felt like he was going to explode any second. He couldn't utter a word, and felt nothing but agony. This was nothing like any pain he'd experienced before. He was engrossed in his heartache, and suddenly felt clueless about his next step.

On the other hand, Fiona felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss. She stared ahead with a blank expression, not knowing what to do. She didn't know what to do next. She didn't know anything.

She felt like there was no need for her to stay there any longer. She turned around and walked towards the door absentmindedly.

She stepped out of the room, gently closing the door shut behind her.
