If I can become his legal wife, you’d have nothing to lose. You’d only stand to gain! Why did you do this to me?” Naomi held her face. She knew that things were worsening by the second, but she gritted her teeth and acted aggrieved. “Sylvie, you’ve misunderstood me. Tabitha has a grudge against me, so she’s trying to slander me,” she said. Tabitha ignored Naomi and answered Sylvie in a cold voice, “Think about it carefully. Did Naomi always try to instigate and urge you to hate me or even take revenge on me? Who do you think will benefit the most if I lose my baby?” Sylvie immediately understood everything.

On the way here, he was filled in on what had happened. When he arrived at the ward, he saw Naomi sitting there with a pale face and bandages on her hands. Malcolm frowned and looked at Naomi coldly. “Aren’t Sylvie and you good friends? Why did she suddenly attack you?” Naomi explained, “Tabitha was afraid Sylvie would hurt her, so she framed me and said I was the one who tipped off Mrs. Weiss…” She seemed unable to continue and cried even more sadly. The look in Malcolm’s eyes was unfathomable. He said slowly, “Sylvie hurt you. Do you want me to put her in jail?” Naomi couldn’t understand the look in his eyes. A slight cold chill suddenly ran down her back. In the end, she chose to display the safest reaction. “Forget it. She and I are friends, after all, and she just lost her child.

Then he relaxed his brows a little. “You should take good care of your wounds first. Don’t think too much,” he said. Seeing that he avoided answering, Naomi didn’t know how to feel. She bit her lip and asked again, “If the baby is really gone, we can just have another one, right?” ‘Another one?‘ Malcolm thought. He subconsciously rejected the idea.

Chapter 44 Σ ANNS Tabitha was a little surprised. “Is there any evidence for this?” Trevor explained, “Last year, a friend of mine happened to be working as a bartender at the nightclub and saw Naomi bring Sylvie there for a drink. When Sylvie got drunk, Pierre came over. After that, Sylvie accepted a few. pieces of jewelry and half–heartedly did the deed.” Then, he spread out his hands and continued, “But a bartender telling this story isn’t enough to be a testimony. After all, there are some details that he hasn’t seen with his own eyes.”” Tabitha was a little disappointed. “Anyway, thank you.” She put the materials away and said to Trevor, “Can you please send the documents to two separate email addresses?” After hearing her spell out the addresses, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “No problem.” Beatrice had been a bit frustrated these days. She and her husband were in the middle of filing for divorce. After the matter of Sylvie’s miscarriage blew up, Beatrice and Pierre’s marriage, which existed in name only, could no longer be sustained. Pierre brazenly wanted to get a bigger share of the assets.

Her expression immediately twisted. It turned out that Naomi was the one who sent her the information in secret, not Tabitha. Naomi was also involved in planting the homewrecker by Pierre’s side. Beatrice recalled that Naomi had pretended to comfort Sylvie in the hospital ward and then put the blame on Tabitha. In an instant, she was furious. “That little whore! How dare she fool me and even try to shift the blame? Disgusting!‘ she cursed inwardly. Although Beatrice had a strong personality, she was straightforward and frank. Since she had misunderstood Tabitha, she did not hesitate and immediately called Tabitha. “I’ve looked at the information you sent me and know the truth now. I apologize for misunderstanding you earlier and saying unpleasant things,” she explained. Tabitha sent the information merely to avoid making too many enemies. She didn’t expect that Beatrice would call to apologize. She quickly said, “Mrs. Weiss, there’s no need to apologize. We are all victims.” Beatrice was slightly moved. ‘Tabitha’s family had also been destroyed because of that homewrecker. And she’s extremely scheming, she thought. She comforted her with a touch of compassion as they were in the same boat. “If you need my help in the future, just ask.” Chapter 14 Tabitha thanked Beatrice, hung up the phone, and put on her coat. She had to go for a prenatal check–up at the hospital. Today was the day Sylvie would be discharged from the hospital.

It’s in the obstetrics and gynecology department on the second floor of this building,” Naomi explained. “When I came back, I saw her sitting on a chair in the waiting area. She should be waiting for the result…” Her eyes flickered, and she whispered, “Sylvie, if your child were still alive, they’d definitely be very healthy.” Sylvie’s anger finally reached its peak. She suddenly picked up the fruit knife she bought two days ago, hid it in her sleeve, and rushed to the second floor. Naomi had a small smirk on her lips, but she shouted anxiously, “Sylvie, what are you doing? Don’t do anything rash!” Sylvie soon found Tabitha in the waiting area on the second floor. With reddened eyes, she yelled, “Tabitha, give my child back to me!” She rushed toward Tabitha as she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Chapter 43 Back in the clinic, Tabitha was already in poor health, and her fatigue had only gone up owing to her work, which made things worse. She had braced herself to deal with Sylvie a moment ago, and when everyone left the scene, she slumped into the chair feebly. Judith hurried to support her and asked in a frantic, “Are you okay, Tabitha? Should I call the ambulance for you?” If it had not been for Tabitha, she might have been scratched to the point of disfigurement. Looking at Tabitha then, Judith felt as if she was looking at her savior, dreading that something bad might happen to Tabitha. Tabitha eased her own discomfort and smiled. “I’m a doctor myself. I know what I’m doing. I’m just a little tired, that’s all.” Only then did Judith breathe a sigh of relief. Following that, she insisted. on giving Tabitha a lift home. What happened in the clinic instantly reached Alaric’s ears. At once, he gave Malcolm a holler. “Where did that Sylvie come from? Why would she blame it on Tabby for losing her own baby? You’d better find a way to get rid of her soon. She must stay far, far away from Tabby.” “I got it.” Malcolm sounded a tad frosty. He also heard about Sylvie kicking up a fuss at the clinic and was rather worried, so he did not refute his grandfather’s request. Alaric then went on, “Also, don’t always stick with Naomi all the time. Go home more often and check on Tabby.” Malcolm replied in a low voice, “I understand.” On the heels of that, Alaric gave Malcolm more lessons of tough love. The 1/5 Chapter 11 NN 14.JU latter appeared less agitated than before, patiently listening and promising to get someone to protect Tabitha. Only then did Alaric feel satisfied with his grandson. After hanging up the phone, Malcolm felt the whole thing unbelievable. He clearly hated Tabitha’s guts, for he was not even sure whose baby she was carrying. To think that he would be concerned about that woman was beyond his comprehension. Still, no matter how reluctant he was, Malcolm went home early since he had promised Alaric so. Meanwhile, Tabitha was already home. George gave orders to the kitchen to make her some peppermint tea. Malcolm might be worried, but he did not want to admit it. He said. unnaturally, “It’s too crowded at the clinic. Best if you could stop going to the clinic for the time being.” Catching sight of his sullen expression, Tabitha felt depressed, hence. questioning icily, “You fear that I might show the Sinclair family up, aren’t you?” “Don’t use this as an excuse to hold forth.” Malcolm knitted his brows on that note. “I only don’t wish to see anything happen to you.” “Why? Is this you worrying about me?” Tabitha’s tone was somewhat mocking. Never would she believe that he would give a hoot about her. In her book, Malcolm got home that early that day just to deal with Alaric. Malcolm then turned to Tabitha with a frown. Her lips were drained of colors, and her hands hanging at her side were clenched into fists. The back of her fists was also pale, and the bulging veins were as clear as day. 2/5 Z Chapter 13 Π Malcolm noticed that she had nothing on her wrist. A touch of annoyance. rose in his heart for no reason. “Grandpa is worried sick for you. I know you don’t care about your health, but, at the very least, you should consider his feelings, don’t you think?” ‘As expected, he did what he did just to appease Grandpa Alaric, Tabitha mused. The passion only burned in her heart for a fleeting moment before it all went out in an instant. A faint smile slowly reached Tabitha’s eyes. “I see. Don’t worry. I’ll put an end to this problem in no time.” Her lips were all curled upward, but her eyes were cold. Malcolm loathed that sort of look on her face and was about to say that he would send someone to deal with it. However, Tabitha was one step ahead of him, having turned around and ascending the stairs. “I’m beaten. I’ll be calling it a night.” She dropped that without waiting for Malcolm’s reaction as she went up the steps one at a time. In fact, Tabitha could no longer disregard her health and press on. For a few days straight, she had not been to the clinic. After recuperating at home for three days, she finally got a call from Colette. “Tabby, I got you an appointment with Trevor. Can you make it at 3 p.m.?” inquired the latter. Tabitha quickly answered, “Yes, I can.” … Read More “Chasing His Runaway Wife Novel – Chapter 43” »
