tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

This scene happened to be seen by Julian who had just entered the ward.He hurried over from Miami after hearing that his daughter had been shot.

In the end, he just went out to eat lunch, and happened to encounter such a scene when he came back.He froze for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise: "Are you awake?"

Reid stood up abruptly and hit the bottle holder hard.He frantically held on to the bracket, and looked towards the door in a little panic.

"Julian - I mean Dad. Why are you here?" Fiona said in surprise.

"Your boss, Eden called me." He came and sat next to Fiona. "Oh, you look better, baby." He said, looking up at Reid.

Reid looked a little embarrassed.He pursed his lips and forced a smile.

"You look familiar," Julian said. "Who are you?"

"This is Dr. Reid." Fiona quickly introduced, "Spencer Reid."

Julian looked at him scrutinizingly, which made Reid nervous.He squeezed his pants, wiped the sweat from his palms, and stretched out his hand to Julian, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Mars."

Reid's posture was a little stiff, and he suddenly remembered the first time he met his boss Hotch, but he swore he was more nervous now than he was then.He had never experienced anything like this before—being caught by a girl's father while kissing her.He deeply doubted that any American high school student would be better at handling this kind of situation than he was.

Julian was a little surprised, but shook his hand anyway.

"Then...uh," Reid hesitated for a moment, "I'll go out first... let you father and daughter talk alone."

Fiona smiled at him.Her eyes were terribly gentle, because she was still involuntarily reminiscing about the kiss just now.

"Don't forget to bring me some blueberry jelly," she said, "I want some of that right now."

"No problem." Reid said immediately.

"Thank you." Fiona said with her mouth.

After Reid left, Julian suddenly said, "That kid looks good."

"Yes." Fiona said.

"How are you feeling?" Julian asked with concern, "Your complexion is still not very good. By the way, do you want to eat something? Other than blueberry jelly. You haven't eaten for two days."

He babbled about his concern, as any parent with a distressed child would.

Fiona laughed, "Let me see--to be honest, I'm kind of craving your tomato rings."

"You used to hate eating that the most." Julian said in surprise.

"No, I like it." Fiona said.

Fiona once saw such words in the diary of her predecessor Fiona.She said her father's favorite was fried tomatoes, but she had never liked eating them. Emilytsui's mother made really good fried tomatoes and mashed potatoes, so it brought back a lot of vague memories.Most of those memories made her feel both warm and sad.

Not long after Julian left, Reid came back with a bag.He conjured seven or eight different brands of blueberry jelly from his pocket.

"I don't know which one you like," he said, "I'll just buy them all."

"Oh, that's very kind of you," Fiona said.

Then she watched as Reid helped her open a package of jelly, and carefully handed it to her along with a small spoon.

"Thank you," Fiona said.

Reid leaned over and put his arm around Fiona's shoulders, helping her sit up.He also helped her prop up the pillow at a comfortable angle for her to lean on.A lock of his brown curly hair brushed Fiona's face, tickling her a little.And she felt a little itchy in her heart.

Fiona looked up at him intently.

She moved her body, and suddenly gasped.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Reid asked anxiously with his eyes wide open.

"It's nothing, the wound hurts." She gritted her teeth and groaned at the same time.

She wasn't lying.The anesthetic had worn off long ago, and now her wound was aching.When she sat up just now, she accidentally pulled the wound, her face turned paler, and some fine sweat oozed from her forehead.

She considers herself to be quite capable of enduring pain. Emilytsui was once stabbed in the stomach by a knife-wielding gangster in the suburbs. At that time, she endured the pain and walked for several kilometers with her hands on the wound. Finally, she collapsed in front of a gas station.

So she's actually acting a little exaggerated now.She admitted that she was a bit wicked to do this, because she wanted to see how worried Reid was for her.

"Do you need me to call the doctor?" Reid asked nervously, his throat tightening.

"Oh, no need." Fiona said quickly.

——Going to call someone who is in the way?Do not make jokes.Not long ago, he took the initiative to kiss her with great difficulty, and it was a good time to develop a relationship.

"Aren't you just a doctor?" Fiona said with a smile.She wrapped her arms around Reid's neck suddenly, pulling him into her face, and wrapped her lips gently around his soft ones.She licked his lips quickly with the tip of her tongue, tasting his taste.

"Much better," she said with a narrowed smile.

Reid was stunned at first.Then he saw that the pained expression on Fiona's face was gone, and he knew immediately what was going on.He seemed greatly relieved and sat down beside Fiona.

"Don't scare me like that." He said helplessly, "Now? Does your wound still hurt?"

"It's better," Fiona said. "Don't worry. I'm stronger than you think."

Fiona noticed the sheen of her saliva on his lips.If she didn't have bandages on her chest and a bottle on her arm, she really wanted to continue the too short kiss just now.

"You're lucky." Reid licked his lips and sighed, "...they say if the bullet misses by a few centimeters, you might..." He stopped short.

"Don't worry, I've always been lucky," Fiona said with a smile. "Remember when I said I died once? I wasn't lying."

"What?" Reid asked.

Fiona looked at him, suddenly a little regretful.Why did she suddenly bring this up?

Those dreams in the coma made her memories of Emilytsui clearer than before, which even made her feel a little nostalgic, although some of those memories were not pleasant.

But what is she going to say to Reid?Did she want to tell him that she had died and come back to life once? Reid couldn't believe it, he would definitely think she was joking, or crazy.

"Nothing. Forget it," she said casually.She lowered her head, dug a large spoonful of jelly into her mouth, and sighed contentedly.

After a light lunch, Fiona was a little sleepy.She fell on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the evening, when she opened her eyes, she realized that Reid had disappeared.

She saw a bouquet of flowers beside the bed.She struggled to sit up and took off the card from the flowers.

There was only one sentence written on the card: I wish you a speedy recovery, but there was no signature.

She subconsciously thought that this bouquet of flowers was sent by Reid, because she knew only a few people in Atlanta. If she thought about it carefully, she would know who would give her the anonymous flowers.She kissed the card lightly, then stuffed the card back.

In the evening, Reid came to visit her again.He came to say goodbye to her this time.

"Quantico is urging me to go back," he said apologetically. "Sorry, I was going to stay a few more days... but our superior, I mean our department chief, strauss, wants me to go back as soon as possible because We have a particularly urgent case for us to deal with—”

He explained quickly, but Fiona cut him off.

"Go ahead, it's okay," she said, "I know they can't do without you."

Reid forced a smile and said hoarsely, "...I'm sorry."

Fiona looked at him and suddenly realized that he looked even more depressed than she did.Of course she also wants to spend more time with him-at least when there is no murder.They haven't had a successful and decent date yet.

"But this time it was a blessing in disguise. Eden gave me a two-month vacation." She said, "So... if we have time, we can have a meal or something. I can fly to Washington to find you."

"Of course." Reid said immediately.

He bent down and kissed Fiona's forehead lightly and tenderly.

Fiona's eyes widened immediately.How long had it been since no one had kissed her like this?As far as she can remember, only Emilytsui's mother does this often.She was suddenly speechless, and some emotions were churning in her chest.It was obviously just a kiss that had nothing to do with sex, but she felt that a place in her heart that had never been touched before was gently hit.

"I like you, Fiona." Reid whispered, "I just wanted you to know that."

Fiona moved her lips and was silent for a moment.Her eyes collided with his, and she suddenly felt as if she was completely exposed to his gaze without reservation.

And he finally admitted that he liked her.At this moment, she should be happy, but she felt a little uneasy.

"...I know." She nodded slightly.

"See you soon, Fiona." He smiled. "Take care of yourself."

"You too," Fiona said.

As soon as Reid left the ward, the smile on Fiona's face gradually disappeared.

She turned over and saw the bouquet of flowers on the cabinet and a pile of unopened jellies.

She kind of understood the reason for her uneasiness just now.Because she suddenly found that she liked spencerreid more than she thought.She realized that she probably fell in love with him before she even had sex with him.

God, she actually started to worry about gains and losses because of love like an adolescent girl.She thought depressingly, and at the same time began to secretly and impatiently count the days when she would be discharged from the hospital.
