“Yes,” Malcolm asserted firmly. “I’ll make it up to you.”
“Then send Naomi to prison,” Tabitha suggested, her eyes displaying a calm glint. “As long as she goes in, everything else doesn’t matter
anymore.”
Malcolm’s throat tightened.
Even if Tabitha didn’t mention her parents, he intended to investigate
them at a later time.
But how could he convince Tabitha to believe that the misunderstandings in the hotel were a result of manipulation, that he had been misled into treating her that way?
Tabitha didn’t receive an immediate response. Seemingly unsurprised, she smiled faintly. “It’s okay. If you find it difficult, I can investigate on my
own.”
After all, she already knew that the person behind Naomi was Emmanuel.
As long as she dealt with Emmanuel well and with Trevor’s help, she would surely uncover traces of the truth.
Malcolm, upon hearing Tabitha’s tone, remained calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
At that moment, he finally understood what he was afraid of.
He had admitted his feelings for Tabitha and unraveled all the truths. In that instance, he was like a young and inexperienced lad who had just fallen in love, diligently safeguarding the person who had captured his heart.
Yet, she remained indifferent, watching him struggle with remorse, cold and unmoved.

Malcolm tried hard to conceal the dimness in his eyes, stabilize his emotions, and then said with difficulty, “Rest assured, I will give you an explanation.”

“Well, thank you.” Tabitha seemed to smile, the sound of rain.
accompanying her words. “Can you let me go first? I need to take my medicine now.”
Malcolm quickly let go, took care of her medicine, helped her lie down, and tucked her in.
The medication quickly took effect, and not long after, Tabitha closed her eyes and fell into a gentle, prolonged sleep, breathing softly.
Perhaps due to the rain, the howling wind, mixed with raindrops,
pounded against the window, Malcolm felt the air in the ward was thin, making it a bit difficult to breathe.
Two days later, the cast on Malcolm’s body could be removed. Before the appointed doctor came in, his phone suddenly rang.
Malcolm picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was Naomi.
Without answering the call, he got up and headed straight to her ward.
Naomi seemed unusually uneasy that day.
Contemplating the circumstances, Naomi remarked inwardly, ‘Even though Tabitha had been transferred back to a regular ward for several days, Malcolm had not shown up. If Malcolm and Emmanuel hadn’t warned me, I would have relentlessly pursued a lawsuit against her. She proves to be quite troublesome, consistently impeding my path to wealth.”

Lost in her gloomy thoughts, Naomi was suddenly interrupted as Malcolm forcefully pushed open the door.
“Malcolm? You’re here?” Naomi was pleasantly surprised. “Why didn’t you answer my call just now?”
Malcolm fixed his gaze on Naomi, his expression icy and his complexion. as pale as alabaster.
‘It was this woman who, with a single lie, created an unbridgeable gap. between me and Tabitha,’ Malcom raged inside.
Taken aback by his gaze, Naomi couldn’t help but ask, “Your complexion looks very pale. Are you feeling unwell?”
Malcolm looked down at her, remaining silent.
The ward felt as silent as death.

Somewhat uneasy, Naomi ventured, “Malcolm?”
Malcolm’s eyes flickered, a hint of coldness passing through, but it quickly vanished.
