Reid, who has an excellent memory, recognized Cecil immediately, "You are Mr. Torres, right? We met once before."

"Sorry, you are..." Cecil recalled with a frown.

"This is Spencer Reid," Fiona said, "my boyfriend... er, fiancé."

"Oh, great." Cecil paused, "Nice to meet you."

He walked over quickly and held out his hand to Reid.

Reid looked surprised.He reached out his hand and shook it briefly.

"So you're here to visit Fiona, right?" Reid asked calmly.

"Yes, I'm friends with her." Cecil said.As he spoke, he smiled at Fiona on the hospital bed.

"So - what movie tickets did you just say?" Reid asked calmly, as if he was discussing what to eat tonight.But when he finished speaking, his lips pursed slightly.

"What?" Cecil blinked, "Oh, right, movie tickets." He took out two tickets from his jacket pocket, "I just passed by the cinema and found a very good movie was showing. I Like Fiona probably wants to hang out, watch a movie or something—as a friend, of course." He deliberately emphasizes the word "friend."

Is he serious?Talking about going to the movies with her fiancé?

Fiona's mouth is half open.

——God, this guy's EQ is absolutely negative!

Fiona cleared her throat on purpose, trying to interrupt Cecil, but neither of them seemed to notice her.

"What movie?" Reid actually started chatting with him.

"Star Wars prequel."

"Oh, I love the Star Wars series," Reid said, "Have you seen the second prequel?"

"Of course." Cecil seemed a little excited, "To be honest, I think the second part is much more exciting than the first one."

"I couldn't agree more." Reid agreed, "The suspense in the second part is very good, you know? Actually..."

For a moment Fiona couldn't comprehend what was happening.

How did the two of them start discussing Star Wars?

Five minutes later, seeing their discussion start to develop in an endless direction, Fiona couldn't help coughing.

"Hey guys," she said.

They both immediately turned to look at her.

"To be honest, I just want to have a good sleep right now." She sighed and yawned, "I have a suggestion, why don't you two watch that movie together? Since you both like it so much."

Almost simultaneously they replied: "Absolutely not."

——There is a tacit understanding.

At this time, the atmosphere suddenly became much more awkward.

"Uh, then I guess I'll have to go to the movies by myself." Cecil broke the silence, stuffing the movie ticket back into his coat pocket, "I won't bother you guys. See you later."

"Goodbye, Mr. Torres," Reid said.

After Cecil left, Reid began to help Fiona unpack the blueberry jelly and handed her the spoon.He also carefully stuffed a pillow behind her waist.

He took care of her like a paralyzed patient, but Fiona didn't stop, she actually enjoyed it.

"You like him, don't you?" Fiona asked, licking the jelly spoon.

"Who?"

"Of course it refers to Cecil." Fiona smiled, "I know it's hard for you to meet someone who completely shares your tastes. Actually, you can be friends. I always thought that the two of you would definitely get along."

Reid frowned and gave a helpless smile, "He's pretty good. But I guess I can't be friends with him."

"Why?" Fiona asked.

"Obviously," Reid replied without hesitation, "because he likes you. Of course, I don't mean liking for friends."

"Is that obvious?"

"Of course." Reid analyzed seriously, "He has been looking at the lilies you put in the trash can out of the corner of his eye since he entered the door. I guess he sent them, right? And he almost every ten seconds I'll sneak a glance at you."

"Well, I admit that I know he likes me. So as a profiler, what's your conclusion?" Fiona bit her spoon and smiled.

"The conclusion is that he is obsessed with you, so the two of us will never be friends." He lowered his head against Fiona's forehead, with a smile on his lips, "...because you will soon be my wife. I won't be with you My wife's men became friends."

Well, Fiona admits that this sentence is indeed a bit nasty, but she still feels a touch somewhere in her heart.

Fiona kissed him quickly on the corner of the lips.

"Want some jelly?" she asked softly.

Then their lips and tongues intertwined, the taste of blueberries spread between their teeth.

"I'm a bit hungry," Fiona whispered hoarsely. "I've had enough of my sick meals. Shall we sneak out for a nice dinner tonight?"

"Okay." Reid kissed the back of her hand, "Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"

"Hmm... how about Chinese food?" Fiona suggested.

There was a moment of hesitation on Reid's face, but he quickly returned to normal, "No problem. The Chinese food is great."

Soon, Fiona knew why Reid seemed a little hesitant when it came to Chinese food.

"Oh, God, don't you know how to use chopsticks?" She smiled patiently as she watched Reid struggling with the two bamboo sticks.

Reid pursed his lips, trying to pick up a piece of slippery mushroom with his chopsticks.

"Never. I never understood why the Chinese invented such a troublesome way of eating." He said holding his breath, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on his chopsticks, "although I agree that this way can really exercise your hands. flexibility—"

At this time, the shiitake mushroom slipped out from between his chopsticks very neatly and fell on the red tablecloth.

Reid finally gave up and put the chopsticks back on the plate.

"Wait, I think you mentioned it once before." Fiona said, "Sorry, I forgot that you can't use chopsticks. How about we change to another restaurant?"

"It's okay." Reid stood up and said, "I'll ask them for a knife and fork."

A few minutes later, he came back.

"This restaurant has no knives and forks." He frowned, "—what kind of restaurant doesn't have knives and forks?"

"Uh... Chinese restaurant?" Fiona said with a smile.

An idea came to her suddenly.She took off the scrunchie that tied her hair and tied up the ends of the chopsticks.

"For you."

"Good idea. How did you come up with this idea?" Reid took the chopsticks and asked.

"Oh, my dad taught me. He's Chinese, so he—"

She shut her mouth suddenly.

"Chinese?" Reid looked at her in confusion.

"I was just joking." Fiona cleared her throat and explained, "Uh...a bad joke."

She stood up and planned to go to the bathroom.Suddenly, she was attracted by the TV hanging on the wall.

There is a news broadcast on TV.

"The suspect in London's notorious serial mutilation case was arrested today in London. His real name is Jason Griffith, aged 35. He brutally murdered and mutilated nine women and planned a warehouse bombing that killed two Scotland Yard police officer dead and seven police officers wounded. The killer is understood to have confessed to the crime after being arrested...”

Fiona stood motionless in front of the TV, like a sculpture.

After the news was over, she mechanically turned around and returned to the dining table.She sat down with glazed eyes, not noticing that Reid was staring at her intently.

"Are you okay?" Reid asked, "I just saw you watching TV, is there any news worth noting?"

Fiona snapped back to her senses.

"What? Oh, it was reported on the news that a serial killer has been caught." She took a deep breath and said calmly, "It is said that the guy killed nine women and two London police officers."

"That should be a good thing. He won't hurt anyone again."

"You're right." Fiona forced a smile, "...he won't hurt anyone anymore."

After dinner, Reid sent Fiona back to the ward.

"I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning," Reid said to her, "then we can go to your apartment and help you unpack."

"Spencer." Fiona stopped in front of her ward.

"what happened?"

"I can't move in with you just yet." She said with a heavy tone, "There is one thing I must do."

Reid asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Fiona knew she had to make up a reason.This matter has a lot to do with Emilytsui's past, so she can't tell the truth, and Reid won't believe her.

"I have to visit my dad," she said.

"I can go with you," Reid said, "I just happen to be free all day tomorrow."

"Oh, but I don't want that. Your vacation is rare, and I hope you can rest well." Fiona said, "I can go straight to your apartment then." She took out the bunch of keys and shook them, "Anyway I have the keys to your apartment, don't I?"

But reid still looks like he wants to say something.

"Don't worry about me." Fiona kissed his lips, "Take a good rest, I'll be back soon. Don't forget, we have two full months to spend together, when you want to drive me away Will not work."

Reid couldn't help laughing.

"Okay." He put his arms around her waist and kissed her back tenderly, "Then see you then."

The next morning, Fiona went home alone and packed her carry-on luggage.

Of course she didn't really intend to visit Julian, she had other plans.

She quickly booked a ticket to London that day.In the afternoon she boarded a plane to London.Gazing out of the window at the gradually cloud-covered downtown Atlanta, she realized that in nine hours, she would be back in London again.

She fell into a groggy sleep on the plane.This time around, Emilytsui's memory is clearer than before, perhaps because she will soon be setting foot on the land of her birth.

After getting off the plane, she went directly to take a taxi to the address that had appeared in her mind countless times.That is the address of her former partner, jsffmartin.

She went up the steps and knocked on the door of the house.Soon, a middle-aged woman with blond curly hair opened the door.

"Hi," Fiona greeted first, and at the same time involuntarily put on a British accent, "I'm Fionamars, you probably don't know me, I'm JeffMartin's friend."

"Oh, hi. I'm Martin's mother." She smiled.

"Yes, I know you. I mean, I've seen your picture." Fiona said softly.Long ago, they had dinner together.But of course, Mrs. Martin knew Emily, not the current Fiona.

"Please come in." Mrs. Martin smiled friendly.

"So you watched the news, right?" Fiona sat down on the couch. "They finally got the bastard."

"Yeah, that's right."

"I'm sorry for what happened to you." Fiona said sincerely, "I'm sorry I didn't come to visit you sooner."

"It's okay, I appreciate your concern, Miss Mars." Mrs. Martin said happily.

Suddenly, Fiona heard a sound coming from the door.

"Oh, it looks like my son is back." Mrs. Martin said, standing up from the sofa, "Hi, Jeff! Your friend came to visit you."

Fiona turned her head and froze in shock.

"Jeff?!" She stared at the familiar face, exactly as she remembered it.

"Oh my god, jeff." She covered her mouth. "I thought you were dead!"

The black-haired man frowned and stared at her, "Sorry... who are you?"

Fiona didn't answer his question, she was still in great shock.

"I don't understand," she murmured. "You should be dead."

"Oh, you must have seen the erroneous news." Jeff said suspiciously, "But that news was clarified a few years ago. I didn't die, it was one of my dead." Partner and another cop."

"It's unbelievable," Fiona said hoarsely.

He put down the paper bag in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his handsome face.

"Excuse me, what's your name? Have we met?" he asked.

"No, we haven't met." Fiona said immediately.

She stood up, took a deep breath and said to the bewildered mother and son, "Sorry to bother you." She looked up at Jeff with a smile on her lips, "I'm glad you're okay, Jeff. Really .”

As she spoke, she hurried down the steps.

"Wait, I seem to remember you." Jeff said behind her. "We used to have tennis lessons together?"

Fiona knew he must have misremembered.But she didn't refute, but shrugged her shoulders with a smile, "Yes, it's me."

"Oh, if you're not in a hurry to go—" he said, "my mother made a great pot of stew today. You can stay for dinner."

"That's right." Mrs. Martin smiled gently, "Our house hasn't had any guests for a long time."

Fiona didn't want to refuse their kindness, after all, the family was no stranger to her.She accepted their invitation, and stayed for a very good dinner.

jeff is a very cheerful and outgoing type.They chatted very happily at the dinner table. Fiona knew she and jeff would definitely become friends because they hit it off so well.Many people in Scotland Yard joked that the two of them were a devil's partner, and no one could stop them.

After dinner, Fiona was helping Mrs. Martin put away the tableware when her cell phone rang suddenly.

"Oh, hi, Spencer," she said with a smile, holding the phone between her shoulders.

"Hi, Fiona." Reid sounded a little downcast, "Where are you now?"

Fiona's heart clenched, "I'm here with my father."

"I just called Mr. Mars." Reid said calmly.Although there was no blame in his tone, it still made Fiona's heart sink.

"Oh—I'm sorry, Spencer, I shouldn't have lied," she said. "Actually, I was visiting a friend."

"Okay." Reid was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "I don't understand, if you're just looking at a friend, why would you lie to me?"

His voice deepened until it was barely audible, "Sorry, Fiona. I don't want to question you. I just want to… know the answer."

Fiona suddenly felt extremely guilty.She was the one who lied, but Reid wanted to apologize to her.She realized that maybe it was time to tell Reid everything.She can't keep this secret forever.

"I'm sorry, Spencer," she whispered, "but I'll explain it to you, just not now."

At this time, Jeff suddenly called out: "Hey, Fiona, come here, you have to try my lemon meringue pie—"

"I should go," Fiona said. "See you later, Spencer. Remember that I love you." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone hastily.
