Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 45

Tabitha was glad that she had a backup copy of the important documents. in her bag.

Naomi didn’t know what it was but had an ominous feeling. She instinctively wanted to grab it but Sylvie

had already taken it.

All the information and evidence could be seen at a glance. Sylvie trembled with anger. She couldn’t

help but slap Naomi in the face with all her strength.

“Why do you want to harm me? You’re the one who introduced Mr. Weiss. to me. 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.

Her eyes widened in fury, and she glared at Naomi. “I thought you were my best friend, but you used

me!”

The rage of being played with and betrayed caused her to lose all rational thought. She screamed like

a madwoman, thrusting the knife at Naomi.

Naomi’s pupils shrank and she hurriedly stepped back, but the blade. quickly cut the back of her hand.

Blood immediately gushed out of the

Seeing this, the other pregnant women screamed nonstop in fear, and the scene became even more

chaotic.

Sylvie had lost her mind and wanted to attack Naomi again. The security guard in the hospital rushed

over in time and quickly stopped her.

Tabitha coldly watched as the farce unfolded. She still couldn’t get rid of her hatred.

When Malcolm got the news and rushed to the hospital, Sylvie had already been taken away by the

police.

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. She only hurt me because someone agitated her.”

Malcolm just hummed lightly and emotionlessly in response.

Naomi was even more confused.

She felt that Malcolm had become harder to read than ever.

But she didn’t dare to show it. She just leaned into his arms and whispered, “Malcolm, I was so scared.

Will you break up with me if I lose our baby?”

Malcolm frowned imperceptibly. He pushed Naomi away, held her arm, and helped her to sit down.

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.

When he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the door of the ward.

Tabitha was standing outside the door, looking at him indifferently.

“I just happened to pass by. I’m leaving right now. You guys continue your

conversation.”

The doctor gave her some anti–abortifacient pills just now, and she happened to pass by here on the

way to retrieve them. She didn’t mean to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Tabitha had no interest in arguing with Malcolm and was about to leave.

Malcolm hesitated for a few seconds before calling out to her, “Are you all right?”

From Saul’s description, he knew that Sylvie had gone after Tabitha initially and even pointed a knife at

her.

Tabitha replied without looking back, I’m fine. You can report back to Grandpa Alaric without worry.”

She said she was fine, but her footsteps were very weak, and she walked slowly. The wide coat draped

over her body made her back look extremely

thin.

“This woman always puts on a strong front, he thought.

Malcolm pursed his lips. Somehow, Tabitha’s appearance made him a little irritated.

“I’ll ask my assistant to send you home.” He spoke in a deep voice, which had a tinge of worry that he

didn’t even notice.

Naomi had a grim expression on her face. Her fingernails slightly dug into her palm as unease and

alarm arose within her heart.

Ever since Tabitha appeared, Malcolm’s attention was completely focused on her.

“No need. You’d better send more people to keep an eye on the darling in your arms. What if Sylvie

goes crazy and stabs her to death one day?” Tabitha said.

She paused in her steps and laughed sarcastically. “If that happens, there may not be another person

like my father who is willing to rush up to save her. Mr. Sinclair, you should keep a good eye on her so

that she won’t harm others.”
