Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 

Hearing this, Alaric let out a soft sigh

He had been greatly disappointed by Lorelai, and that disappointment. had left him somewhat repelled by Emmanuel. If not for recognizing Emmanuel’s exceptional skills, he wouldn’t have entrusted him with those overseas responsibilities back then

However, as he grew older, he started to place more importance on family connections. Dealing with those matters is inherently risky. Manny is, after all, my grandson, and he has worked hard over the years. I want him to slowly step back from those responsibilities,” Alaric explained

In his younger days, Alaric chased power and wealth without any moral concerns. Now that he had achieved it all, he longed for the warmth of family. That was why, despite Malcolm’s reluctance and dislike, he insisted on him marrying Tabitha

I get it,Wilmer said with a sigh. Don’t worry, Mr. Sinclair. The things you’re afraid of won’t happen.” 

Alaric nodded, looking quite tired

As I look back, I wonder if sending Tabby away was the right thing to do. My wife, even though she didn’t say it outright, must have been upset with me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have moved out and refused to forgive me until she passed awayAlaric mumbled

Wilmer remembered the past and sadly advised, Mr. Sinclair, don’t dwell on it too much. Your health should be the priority.” 

Wilmer, you’re the only one I can share my thoughts with these days,Alaric sighed. Whenever you have a moment, come sit with me here.” 

OK,Wilmer said

Chapter 138 

Tabitha had no clue about what Alaric had done behind her back. She continued visiting him in the hospital every day

Since Malcolm returned to the Sinclair manor, he used to take Tabitha to the hospital every day and drive her back to the clinic

However, just two days ago, an unexpected mishap unfolded along the Ackleton highway. As they were excavating a tunnel, it caved in and ensnared a group of workers. Several of them remained confined within it

With the remaining workers adding to the chaos, Malcolm found himself with no choice but to rush to the scene and take charge of the situation

After Malcolm left, the driver took Tabitha to visit Alaric at the hospital

When she got out of the car, she kindly told the driver, I’m not sure how long I’ll be at the hospital. You don’t have to wait. I’ll catch another ride to the clinic later

The driver nodded

Soon, Tabitha arrived at the ward

Coincidentally, Wilmer was updating Alaric on some workrelated 

matters. The moment Wilmer spotted Tabitha, he couldn’t resist stealing a few more glances at her

Years ago, he had personally sent Tabitha off, and since then, he hadn’t seen her. Surprisingly, the charming little girl from the past had transformed into such a beautiful young woman

Tabitha sensed a peculiar look in Wilmer’s gaze. Politely, she asked, Are you Grandpa Alaric’s assistant? Why haven’t I seen you around before?” 

Wilmer quickly dispelled his selfreproach and replied with a smile, Yes, I’ve been working overseas.” 

Tabitha nodded

Alaric grinned and said, His name is Wilmer Callahan. You can call him Mi. Callahan.” 

Nice to meet you, Mr. Callahan,Tabitha greeted

Tabitha’s manner was kind and polite, without a trace of arrogance or the narrowmindedness that sometimes came with someone from a small 

town

Wilmer felt pleased on Alaric’s behalf. He smiled and replied, Nice to meet you, too, Mrs. Sinclair.” 

After Wilmer finished updating Alaric and left the ward, Tabitha opened the lunchbox. Grandpa Alaric, since Malcolm is away today, I made breakfast for you.She spoke in a soft tone

Alaric grinned instantly and said, Tabby, your breakfast is way better than that brat’s.” 

Tabitha’s helplessness crept into her words. Then why do you ask him to handle your breakfast every day?” 

I do it intentionally to give him a tough time. He made you upset, and I want to make sure he faces the consequences,Alaric explained

Alaric tried to make her feel better with his words, but Tabitha struggled to muster a smile

She really wanted to tell Alaric that she couldn’t go on with Malcolm, but seeing Alaric getting better and the hope in his eyes, she couldn’t bear to upset him right now. All she could do was smile and stay quiet

Seeing Tabitha’s reluctance to forgive Malcolm, Alaric grew worried and started feeling a growing resentment toward Malcolm

Tabitha had once held a deep affection for him, and Malcolm’s thoughtless behavior shattered her love for him. Only now, in the face of his mistakes

did he show a willingness to change

Winning back Tabitha’s favor now seemed like a formidable challenge

Ignoring Alaric’s concerns, Tabitha attended to his breakfast, watched TV with him, and even helped in trimming his nails

Tabitha remained by Alaric’s side until noon before finally leaving the hospital

After exiting the hospital, Tabitha flagged down a taxi to return to the clinic

Meanwhile, Chadwick was dealing with eye troubles. He had decided to see Tabitha in the clinic for a checkup that day

He called her and knew she would arrive soon. Thus, he opted to wait. outside the clinic. Soon enough, Tabitha emerged from a taxi and was about to cross the road

Chadwick had a smile on his face and was ready to greet her when he suddenly noticed a car speeding toward her

Chadwick’s heart nearly skipped a beat, and he urgently cried out, Watch. out! Tabby, step back!” 

He yelled while rushing frantically toward Tabitha

Regrettably, it was too late

Tabitha quickly stepped back as the car kept speeding toward her. She moved onto the sidewalk, but the car didn’t slow down. It seemed like it was heading straight for her

A loud thud echoed as Tabitha got thrown about seven feet away and landed still on the ground

Luckily, the slope of the sidewalk slowed down the car. It prevented more

serious harm to Tabitha

Chadwick was still trying to make sense of what had happened. He shook himself back to reality and hurried to Tabitha’s side while yelling

Someone call an ambulance!” 

In a flurry, he brought Tabitha into the clinic and urged a few medical staff to assess the situation

Fortunately, Tabitha’s injuries weren’t too serious. Although she was initially unconscious, she gradually regained consciousness. Her pale face stirred sympathy from those around her

Chadwick let out a sigh of relief, though he was still covered in cold sweat

He held onto Tabitha tightly and said, Thank goodness you’re okay. You really scared me there. How are you feeling now?”
