Naomi burst into tears and quickly said, “It’s all because of the accidental de of Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis. Ms. Jarvis was so uad that she lost her mind, but I don’t blame her”
While Tabitha was still feigning unconsciousness and had yet to come to, Naomi had already taken the opportunity to tell Malcolm about the incident that happened back then..
Malcolm frowned slightly. “It wasn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself for what happened back then.
At that moment, all color drained from Tabitha’s face upon hearing his words.
The man she loved deeply chose to believe and defend a murderer who killed her parents!
“Leave!” Tabitha said. A chill ran though her spine from the pain, but she tried her best to endure it. “Get out of here, you shameless couple!”
Initially,
Malcolm felt slightly guilty for hurting her, but the guilt soon disappeared as his face darkened upon hearing her
“Shameless couple?” he repeated. All the warmth disappeared from his gaze as he looked at her condescendingly. “You and the baby in your womb are the ones who truly make me sick, Tabitha!”
For the past two years, she had shown him consideration and care, all while knowing her place.
He also had some feelings for lier.
Due to his guilt, Malcolm had originally planned to leave the house to her, along with a large sum of money.
Yet, he had never expected her to be so hypocritical and greedy.
Tabitha trembled. She clenched her injured fist, and soon, the metallic smell of blood filled the room instantly.
She looked at Malcolm absentmindedly and could not help feeling sad
“Malcolm, you’re abandoning our baby for her?” she asked.
Naomi’s heart leaped to her throat, and her heartbeat accelerated upon hearing Tabitha mention the child.
Malcolm’s eyes suddenly turned icy, finding the situation ridiculous. He could not help but wonder how he had never realized how good Tabitha was at acting
“You’re most aware of how this child came by, Tabitha, and you expect me to want it?” he spat..
His string of words pierced Tabitha’s chest like a sharp arrow.
Indeed, they had been sleeping in separate rooms for two years.
If it were not for the alcohol and drugs that
Malcolm would not have even touched her.
Malcolm pursed his lips grimly, and his eyes were cold. He did not reply directly and instead said, “Grandpa treats you like his own, Tabitha. If you have any conscience remaining, you should really stop using him.”
Tabitha opened her mouth to speak but could not say a word.
She knelt on the ground and stared blankly ahead. All of a sudden, she felt extremely tired.
Malcolm looked at her ashen face and tried to calm down. With a complicated look in his eyes, he said, “As long as you agree

Furthermore, she could be able to uphold her reputation and never expose her true colors to Alaric
Tabitha took a few seconds to confirm that the hurtful words truly came from Malcolm’s mouth

This was the kind of man she had loved dearly for so long
Tabitha laughed and tried her best not to let her tears fall.
You want me to make way for Naomi?” she asked.
Suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she picked up a glass shard and threw it at Malcolm and Naomi.
“Dreams on! I’ll never let this murderer get what she wants! Not in this lifetime?” she screamed.
Naomi narrowly avoided being hit by the sharp glass shard as Malcolm pulled her away just in time.
Tabitha is a lunatic Naomi thought.
However, she could not let them talk about the baby anymore.
Naomi took Malcolm’s hand and earnestly said, “Stop agitating Ms. Jarvis, Malcolm. Let’s leave first and let her calm down She’s pregnant, after all.”
Naomi’s deliberate emphasis on the word “pregnant somehow mellowed Malcolm’s almost uncontrollable anger.
Tabitha’s emotions were all over the place. She looked like a broken porcelain doll, making everyone feel reluctant to force
her..
Malcolm paused as he looked at her bleeding hand. Finally, he suppressed his anger and left with Naomi
Tabitha sat unmoving on the ground. Her broken heart was numb, and she could not feel any more pain.
For some reason, Malcolm turned around to look at her as he reached the door. The thin silhouette reflected in his eyes made him feel a little strange.
Somehow, Tabitha’s silhouette reminded him very much of the woman from the hotel that night.
The thought flashed across Malcolm’s mind. He could not help but laugh at himself. He must have been so angry with Tabitha that he had such a ridiculous delusion.
The door of the ward was closed, and the room was eerily empty and quiet.
Tabitha gritted her teeth as tears welled in her eyes. “Dad… Mom..
The tears she held in finally rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
She regretted falling in love with Malcolm.
Tabitha stayed in the hospital for two days and actively cooperated with the doctors instructions.
In just a few days, she had rapidly lost weight, her eyes became sunken, and her defined face became even more haggard.
The sight of Tabitha made Alaric want nothing than to the Naomi up and throw her into the sea to feed sharks.

Given that he had a slight improvement in his condition, he immediately picked up his walking cane and poked Malcolm,

Malcolm furrowed his loows. However, to prevent Alaric from getting worked up and hurting himself, he hid the coldness in his eyes
Till go vit her after I finish the business I have on hand,” he said.
“Business At the hospital?” Alaric looked at Malcolm coldly. “Malcolm, Sinclair Group needs a responsible man. You shouldn’t worry about the company if you can’t even handle your family affairs.
Malcolm clenched his fists slightly as he stood there.
It was the same thing all over again.
Alaric was constantly using board members to threaten him for Tabitha’s sake. This was not the first time it had happened.
Malcolm could not wrap his head around Alaric’s obsessive love for Tabitha. Even if Tabitha’s grandpa had saved Alaric before, it was still puzzling to Malcolm overall.
