Take Me Away

Chapter 288 There Will Be No Meeting Since Then

"Mr. Terence..."

"Isn't it too distant to call me Mr. Terence now?" At the door of the coffee shop, Clara was a little uneasy

about Terence's sudden invitation. But when she heard what he said, she was stunned. Then she

raised the corners of her mouth in disbelief and called tentatively, "He... Terence? "

However, Terence just smiled sarcastically and opened the door of the coffee shop for her. "You called

me Terence when you jumped into my arms in the hotel on that day. It's strange to call me Mr. Terence

now, isn't it? " That was what he meant. He didn't expect that Clara could not hear the implication in his

words. Did he really think that the two people were so familiar that they could call each other's name?

There seemed to be some air conditioner in the coffee shop. Clara shivered all of a sudden and stood

still, being in a dilemma.

"Mr. Terence, you're laughing at me." "Today you invited me. Is it a banquet of ambush?" she asked,

biting her lips and staring into his eyes.

"As long as Miss Clara gives me a satisfactory answer, then it won't be." With a gesture, Terence

invited her to enter the shop again.

On her way to the coffee shop, Clara knew the reason why Terence asked her to come. "Mr. Terence,

you come to me for Vivian's thing, right?"

"If it weren't for her, do I still have any contact with you?" "Oh, by the way, my assistant is responsible

for the cooperation," said Terence ironically.

There seemed to be a hint of panic in Clara's footsteps, and her back was a little cold. Terence always

spoke slowly. Even if he wasn't gentle or polite, it could be taken as his politeness. But today, he had© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

said something really cold. Did he know about Vivian? 'No, it can't be. If he knows, he won't have time

to look for me...'

While thinking, they two were led to a table by the window by a waiter.

"What can I do for you?"

"A cup of Italian concentrated coffee, without sugar." Clara ordered coldly, without saying anything

more.

"Give me a glass of water." Terence uttered. After the waiter nodded and left, he asked, "Why did you

order such bitter coffee without sugar?"

"No matter how bitter the coffee is, it can't be bitter for what Mr. Terence is going to say next?" Raising

her eyes slightly, Clara looked out of the window. As something came to her mind, she said, "When I

first met you, we also sat in a seat by the window, face to face."

"I'm sorry." Terence said flatly, "My memory of that day only belongs to Vivian." He still remembered the

look when Vivian mistook Clara's bland date as hers and called him Terence, and when he saw his

name on her palm...

"Mr. Terence..."

"Tell me where is Vivian!" Terence suddenly stared at Clara, "You said that day that she left for Y City

so as to avoid me.. You know something, right? If I hadn't come to her that day, she would have run

away... She didn't expect that I would go, so she ran away in the middle of the night again Tell me, what

happened? "

"I don't know." Clara stared back at Terence. Just then, a waiter brought coffee and water to their table,

interrupting the undercurrent between the two people. "Please enjoy yourself."

Holding back his anger, Terence took a sip of water. His every act of picking up the glass and drinking

water was perfect.

Clara still couldn't help but be confused by him. She took a serious look at him and saw a touch of

sadness in his sharp eyes. They hadn't seen each other for two days. But Terence seemed to become

thinner?

"I have been looking for her these days." Staring out of the window, Terence said slowly, "She left

without saying a word. It was as if she had said goodbye to me in camellia palace that day when she

had seen me in a hurry. She suddenly ran away. I couldn't find her... I didn't expect that such a small

misunderstanding would make her so angry I think, "said Terence, who suddenly stopped and turned

back to look at her." I think that you are hiding something from me, aren't you? "

Clara was holding a cup of bitter coffee and when she heard what Terence said, she didn't stop the

action. She raised the cup and took a sip of the coffee. She put it down and said slowly, "Even if Vivian

really has something to hide from you, can she tell me?"

It made sense... Terence frowned.

After a moment of silence, Terence spoke first, "Since you know nothing, then I have nothing to say. I

just think this is the last time we meet alone."

As soon as Clara took a sip of her coffee, she realized that Terence's words were more bitter than

coffee.

"Why?" Clara asked, unwilling to give up.

"Miss Clara, don't you understand?" Terence frowned, "I told you that I liked Vivian and you couldn't be

my girlfriend. I thought you knew it. I never expected that things would come to this. I don't know what I

did to make you misunderstand me... I don't like you. Please leave me alone. "

Clara's heart skipped a beat. Holding the coffee cup, she didn't say anything.

"Maybe you don't like me. You just want to compete with Vivian for something. But I'm not an object,

and you can't get it. I also don't want to become a barrier between you and your sister. " Terence's eyes

darkened as he added, "I've known you for only over a month. I'm impressed by you, but I can only

appreciate that. If you do something excessive, I will... I won't be polite to you. "

After saying that, he sighed deeply and took a sip of water. "Miss Clara, we shall not meet again." As

soon as he finished speaking, Terence stood up before Clara came to her sense. At the same time, he

asked again, "Do you really have no idea where Vivian is?"

All of a sudden, something came to Clara's mind. She raised her head and looked at Terence with

blank eyes. She pursed her lips a little, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Terence knew that Carla couldn't think of exactly the right thing to say, so he just nodded slightly, turned

around and strode away.

He just went away so ruthlessly, as if to take her heart away. She still remembered that when they met

for the first time, she fell in love with him at the first sight. But at that time, Terence also suddenly turned

around and rushed to Vivian.. This time, he said they would never meet again.

Tinkle——

When Terence's figure finally disappeared in the coffee shop, Clara suddenly lost all her strength. That

was karma! From now on, she couldn't have any fantasy about Terence, even if Vivian was sick..

At the thought of this, Clara frowned. Seeing that Terence was about to open the door and get on the

car, she stood up in a hurry. At the same time, Terence got into his car and left very soon. Clara stood

still, feeling relieved. She thought that she really didn't know where Vivian was now. It wasn't her doing

secretly. Moreover, even if she chased out, even if Terence listened to her, he would not listen to her! It

wasn't her fault

The next morning, in the ICU of the second hospital.

Vivian lay on the bed quietly with a ventilator. With breakfast in her hands, Fiona intended to let Vivian

eat. But she obviously didn't wake up. Feeling wronged, she stood in the hallway with tears in her eyes

and almost burst into tears.

"Miss Fiona?"

A steady voice came from behind. Fiona turned around and saw Vivian's father. She wiped her eyes

and greeted, "Uncle Jacob."

"Sorry to bother you to see her, Miss Fiona." Jacob took a glance at Vivian who was in the ICU, with

mixed feelings in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter But Uncle Jacob, didn't you say that Vivian would wake up today? She has been lying

down all night! " Fiona bit her lips hard. She couldn't imagine what Terence would do if Vivian slept like

grandpa Wayne for several years?

"I'm not so sure about that." Jacob shook his head and said, "I thought..."

Jacob's voice was choked with sobs. Since he was a doctor. he knew her daughter's illness like the

palm of his hand, but he was unable to wake her up. It was more painful than anyone else...

"Uncle Jacob, I have prepared breakfast. Would you like to have some first? Vivian must wake up very

soon. " Fiona immediately tried to comfort her, but Jacob merely waved his hand and said, "I don't feel

like eating."

Fiona nodded and didn't say anything more.

The day seemed to be unreachable. Fiona went back to the Cheng family's house at noon and came

over after dinner. Vivian was still lying in bed quietly.

'I have to wait. Let her know when she wakes up. No matter she agrees or not, I will go to see Terence.'

Fiona thought.

She was waiting for Vivian to wake up, but to her surprise, Vivian made others take aback when she

was so sound asleep.

Beep——

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, Fiona was waiting outside the ward. Suddenly she heard a harsh

sound coming from inside the ward. Around Vivian was a lot of equipment that Fiona didn't know who

they were. The noise was so loud that it seemed like someone was making a show of himself.

Dashing towards the window, Fiona heard her heart beating. As she looked towards her bed, she saw

a throbbing woman on the bed. On the bed, Vivian twitched all over, and the curve on the heartbeat

instrument tended to be a straight line.

"Doctor..." Fiona's voice was hoarse. With all her strength, Fiona fell to the glass window.

Several doctors were on their way here, and Jacob was there too. He looked so cruel and helpless.

Jacob was the first one to rush into the ward and stand on the bedside. "Prepare for first aid!" he

ordered

A loud crack was heard——

The white curtain was drawn shut. Since then, Fiona had been crying so hard that she couldn't see the

face in the ward anymore. While crying, Fiona took out her cell phone with her trembling body and

mumbled, "Terence, Terence..."
