Chapter 75: Press Conference

"Ewan, must you go? The doctor admonished you to stay with me till my fears are subdued...please listen to him." Fiona pleaded, looking very pale and pitiful.

Ewan frowned, not believing what he was hearing. Stay till she was free from her fears? It meant he wouldn’t go to work again, considering how extreme she was. How impossible was that!

However, he sat down gently by her bedside. "Fiona, don’t be so dramatic..."

He tucked her blonde hair behind her ears. "You love being rich right? You love spending money, right? Well, allow me to go and make it, so you can have more to enjoy..."

Fiona pouted when she saw the smile on Ewan’s lips, never mind it was barely there, just a tug at the end of his lips.

"But I need you to hold me, to tell me I will be okay..."

Ewan prayed for patience to deal with this version of Fiona. He didn’t know how much longer his patience would hold before snapping.

He should have gone this morning to see Athena, but this woman right here had held him down with demands a nanny could easily fulfill!

"I prefer you doing it for me, it helps me heal faster." She had said, when he asked about the tantrums she kept throwing.

But Ewan believed he had had enough of the matter, at least for today. He had to attend the press conference.

"I’ll be back Fiona. You can have me all you want. Just let me make money for both of us."

Ewan almost guffawed at how strange he sounded to his own self, but he was ready to do that, to become that, so that he was will be free from Fiona’s grasp for a second, and keep her from attempting suicide again.

"Okay then. I will count the hours till I see you again."

Ewan nodded, dropped a kiss on her forehead, stood up, and walked out of the room.
