Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 97
“Thank you,” Emmanuel said.
Emmanuel’s voice turned a little hoarse by Tabitha’s casual behavior.
“You’re welcome,” Tabitha uttered with a smile. Ensuring the person in the corner heard her clearly, she added in a higher–
pitched tone than usual, “I was kidnapped last time. If you hadn’t come to the rescue in time, I’m afraid I would have a
miscarriage. I’ll always be grateful to you.”
Thinking of the previous kidnapping, Emmanuel felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a knife had pierced through him. He
responded, “You’re welcome. In fact, it was all my fault.”
“Don’t say that. Just now, Lorelai told me that you were born indifferent but only treated me so well. I was really touched,” Tabitha
replied.
Tabitha was not good at lying. When she said that, her eyes flickered unnaturally.
She felt a little pity that Lorelai had left. Otherwise, her lie would be more perfect if she was there to support her.
However, Tabitha had no clue that her awkward expression was more like shyness in Emmanuel’s eyes.
At that moment, Emmanuel was slightly short of breath and quickly replied, “It’s my pleasure.”
Tabitha continued to express her gratitude and mildly touched the back of his hand with her fingers.
“Will you come to visit me tomorrow? I like beetroot soup very much,” Tabitha inquired.
“All right, I’ll ask my mom to make it for you tomorrow,” Emmanuel

replied.
No one could refuse Tabitha, who requested in such a soft tone.

“Thank you,” Tabitha expressed.

When Emmanuel walked out of the hospital, the sunshine was somewhat dazzling to him, and that warm feeling was also a little
unreal.
Naomi sneaked up behind him with gloom and uneasiness in her eyes.
She held tight her phone and sent a message to Emmanuel, texting: [Mr. Sinclair, I’m in the café near the hospital. Can we
meet?]
Emmanuel soon saw the message. The warmth in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he showed a hypocritical expression
again.
He replied coldly: [No.]
Seeing the refusal message, Naomi immediately texted again: [Malcolm mentioned the amniocentesis again today. We’ll soon be
uncovered if we don’t do anything about it.]
Emmanuel frowned and replied: [I’ll find a way.]
Naomi sent another message, replying: [Do you agree with the method I said last time?]
Emmanuel immediately thought of Tabitha’s pale face and felt heartache. He texted instantly: [No!]

Naomi replied: [Why? Are you afraid she’ll get hurt? Mr. Sinclair, isn’t our goal to get Malcolm to divorce her? The quickest way
to succeed is to let her have a miscarriage and make Malcolm misunderstand her.]
Emmanuel warned in the text, writing: [No means no. You’re not allowed.

to act without permission.]

Emmanuel hastily ended the conversation and sat in his car with a gloomy
face.
Emmanuel mused, ‘Hurting Tabitha is not a must to let Malcolm divorce her. Perhaps there’s another way to it.'”
Thinking of Tabitha gently adjusting his collar with her head slightly lifted a while ago and the tender gaze looking as obedient as
a harmless cat, Emmanuel uncontrollably felt a thrill, desiring her.
After seeing Emmanuel off, Tabitha could not calm down for a long time.
She pondered, ‘If Emmanuel really allied with Naomi, could my actions just now cause them to suspect each other?‘
Tabitha immediately called Trevor and told him about her discovery on that day. She ordered, “I can’t be fully sure, but you must
thoroughly find. out about Emmanuel.”

Trevor remained silent for a moment and added, “Emmanuel has been abroad for the past few years. It’s not easy to investigate
him.”
“I know. Just do your best,” Tabitha uttered.
Tabitha’s heartbeat accelerated, and she was excited as if her vengeance was at the edge of success.
After hanging up the phone, she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her stomach, but soon, it returned to normal.
This made Tabitha’s heart sink. She hurriedly took a deep breath and prayed silently.
She murmured internally, ‘Baby, did I scare you just now? I’ll remember to keep myself calm from now on. Please don’t leave
me...”

Tabitha gently stroked her belly and felt that she was getting closer to the truth with the evidence. As long as she tried harder,
Naomi would. definitely be brought to justice.
Tabitha was lost in her memories when someone knocked on the ward door.
“Come in,” Tabitha said.
The door was pushed open, and it was Malcolm.
Malcolm was severely injured, with the cast still on him, causing him to walk in difficulty yet looking funny.
However, Tabitha remained indifferent without smiling and asked, “Why are you here?”
Malcolm felt hurt by her indifferent look and replied softly, “I’m better now. I can walk without the support of other tools. I... came
by to see you.”
Tabitha rolled her eyes slightly and glanced imperceptibly at his face.
Malcolm had the habit of running in the morning, which made him have a good physical condition, and he did not look unwell at
that moment. He would probably be discharged soon.

Even though he had a complicated relationship with Naomi, he indeed. saved her.
Those were different matters. So, Tabitha said sincerely, “Thank you.”
Sensing Tabitha had reduced her hostility toward him, Malcolm could not help but ask, “Did Emmanuel come to see you today?”
Tabitha was disgusted with Emmanuel and did not want to talk about him.
Thinking that Malcolm was his cousin, she softened her expression and said, “Yes, he’s quite nice.”

As soon as Tabitha finished speaking, Malcolm’s expression darkened. He reminded, “Tabitha, don’t judge the book by its cover.
You should take extra precautions with him.”
Tabitha pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Why? Isn’t he your cousin? Why do you keep telling me to watch out for him? Did
he ever do
something bad to you?”
Malcolm froze at her words.
