After bandaging Fiona's feet, the doctor stood up and said, "Her injury is very serious, so it will take three to four weeks to heal. The dressing should be changed once a day."
Before he could continue, Fiona pointed at the wound on Spencer's arm and hurriedly said, "Doctor, look at his arm. It was scratched by a huge dog! It's bleeding!"
"Of course. Spencer has good endurance. This small wound is nothing to worry about. Please don't worry, Mrs. Cheng. I promise he will be fine."
'Mrs. Cheng?' Fiona was embarrassed to hear someone addressing her this way.
"I... I'm not... Don't call me that..." she stammered softly, blushing. But as she spoke, she raised her head and saw Spencer raise his eyebrows at her. Her face suddenly turned even redder.
"What? Mrs. Cheng, what did you say?" the doctor asked, fiddling with the anti-inflammatory injection.
Before Fiona could reply, Spencer said, "She didn't say anything." Then, he took off his coat, bared his arm, and urged, "Do it quickly."
"Okay." The doctor nodded. When Fiona saw Spencer's bare upper body, she quickly turned her head away, too shy to look at him.
"How did you fall down into the valley, Fiona? Were you walking down the trail yourself?" Spencer suddenly asked.
"Yes. I was walking on the trail on my own, because I couldn't get reception on my cellphone," Fiona lied, giving an embarrassed nod.
"Who were you talking to on the phone?"
"Ryan." Caught off guard, Fiona nervously fidgeted with her fingers. A surge of guilt set in her heart.
Just as she expected, after hearing what she said, Spencer snorted with disdain and asked, "And then?"
"Then..." She paused, recalling how hateful Leona had been this afternoon and how she had said that she would kill her. Thinking of that, she furrowed her eyebrows deeply. She was terrified.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Fiona's expression, Spencer knew clearly that there was more to the story. The marks on the trail didn't look natural. "Who pushed you down?" he asked.
"How did you know?" Fiona raised her head in surprise.
Raising his eyebrows, Spencer asked coldly, "Who was it?"
Fiona pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't hide it from him. "Leona."
"Really? She dared to push you down?" By then, the doctor had finished bandaging the wound on his arm. Spencer stood up and took out a pistol from his pocket. "Then she should go to hell!"
"Spencer, what are you doing?" Out of fear, Fiona grabbed his hand that was holding the gun. "Calm down! Please let me finish. Put down the gun!"
"Spencer!" the doctor said quickly. "Don't make any rash decisions. Please think twice!"
Spencer looked at the doctor and barked, "Get out!" Then, he turned to Fiona. "Go
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
cough, he said, "Finish washing up. I have to answer the phone."
"What? Oh. Of course." Fiona nodded, blushing.
Spencer rushed out of the bathroom and answered his phone without looking at the caller ID. "Hello? Who is it?"
"Spencer? Are you okay?" Celine's worried voice came from the other end of the line.
After swallowing hard, he replied, "I'm fine."
"I'm glad to hear that. How is Fiona?"
"She has been rescued. Don't worry."
"Okay. When will you be back, Spencer?" Celine continued.
Just then, a soft sound came from the bathroom. Spencer immediately turned around and saw Fiona limping out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel.
With a frown, he ran to her and picked her up. "What are you doing? Don't you know your foot is injured? If you wanted to come out, you could have just called me! You don't have to be so stubborn."
"Hello?" Celine called out, but Spencer didn't hear her. Fiona struggled in his arms and said, "I can walk on my own. Put me down!"
"Idiot!" No matter how much she struggled, he didn't let her go.
As he put her on the bed, he accidentally hung up the phone.
"Hello? Spencer!" The busy tone surprised Celine. She couldn't believe that Spencer had just hung up on her. It was late in the night, but from the voices on the other line, she could tell that he was with Fiona. Besides, he had sounded nervous while speaking to her.
Tightening her grip on the phone, Celine called him again.
"Sorry, the subscriber you've dialed is switched off. Please try again later," came the automated message.
In the room, Spencer stared at Fiona with burning eyes. "For the next one month, you are not allowed to move around. You can walk around once your foot recovers. Got it?"
"Okay." For some reason, Fiona didn't argue.
"I'm going to take a shower."
