Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

Meanwhile, Sylvie spent three days recuperating in the hospital. 

Naomi, for one, came to keep Sylvie company almost every single day, bringing her soup and various tonics, showering her with nothing but 

care. 

Sylvie was moved. After all, a person who was sick would more likely become dependent. “Thank you for being by my side every day, Naomi.” 

“What are friends for?” Naomi lifted the kettle and continued, “Ah, we ran out of water. Let me go fill this up.” 

As she wheeled around, something fell out of her pocket and landed lightly on the edge of the bed. However, she did not seem to notice as she walked out quickly. 

Out of curiosity, Sylvie picked it up and found that it was actually a list of collateral damage in the clinic and the costs of drugs. ‘Is this Tabitha demanding for compensation?‘ she pondered. 

Her face darkened in an instant. 

When Naomi came back, she saw Sylvie pulling a long face. She quickly grabbed the list from Sylvie’s hands and explained nervously, “Don’t get riled up, Sylvie. I’ve already paid the compensation for you. All you need to do now is focus on your recovery-” 

Yet, that speech seemed to have fallen on deaf ears for Sylvie. She fumed through gritted teeth, “Tabitha made me lose my baby, and she dares make me pay for it?” 

As she cursed, she got out of bed and was all set to rush out the door. 

“Calm down, Sylvie! You’re still not in perfect health!” Naomi might be shouting anxiously, but she was leisurely moving her feet toward the exit.

Sylvie was quick to bolt outside, hailing herself a ride and making a beeline for Tabitha’s clinic. 

At that time, there were several patients in the clinic. Tabitha was reading. pulses for one of the patients. 

The second Sylvie got there, she barged inside and yelled, “Tabitha! You took my baby’s life, and you still have the nerve to sit there prescribing drugs for your patients? Are you not afraid of people dying at your hands?” 

At that very juncture, Sylvie was dressed in a hospital gown. Her visage was pale and her hair was disheveled. She looked somewhat weak, but her eyes. were shining with resentment, which stirred up an eerie uneasiness in one’s heart. 

Several patients got frightened and scurried away because of that. 

A pucker creased Tabitha’s forehead. She voiced out calmly to Judith, “Call the police.” 

Judith got all confused. “Huh? Call the police?” 

Sylvie walked to the entrance of the clinic with some kind of crazed intention in her eyes, stuck her hands on her waist, and chided, “Gather up, peeps! Listen, the medicine prescribed by this clinic has poisoned my baby to death. Yet, Tabitha thinks she has someone to back her up, so not only does she believe she’s not at fault at all, but she’s even calling the police to arrest me.” 

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves. 

“Did she just say she’s lost her baby? Why is this clinic still running? Are they trying to put all our lives on the line?” 

“I guess we won’t be coming here anymore to get medicine.” 

“This is scary as hell! I just had my pulse read in there. Luckily, I haven’t

Observing the reactions coming from those passersby, Sylvie felt uplifted. “You guys be the judge. I’m the victim here and yet she’s reporting me to the police, trying to frame me. This is plain ridiculous.” 

Standing at the door of the clinic was Tabitha, straightening her back and pronouncing, “You’re well aware how you lost your child. Running your mouth and spreading one more rumor and I’ll sue you for defamation.” 

Judith, for one, was not as well educated as Tabitha. Parting her lips, she scolded, “Shame on you to be a homewrecker. After having been beaten to a pulp by the legal wife, you tried to pin the blame for losing your own baby on someone else. What you’re doing is nothing less than playing the victim!” 

The crowd looked at Sylvie strangely when they heard that there was more to that than met the eyes. 

Going through the roof, Sylvie went berserk, howling and lunging at Judith, scratching her in the face. 

Sylvie’s countenance contorted wildly, and Judith was so taken aback that she forgot to dodge the incoming attack. 

In a nick of time, Tabitha grabbed Sylvie’s wrist and blurted out coldly, “Sylvie, what was the reason you came to my clinic the other day? How did the legal wife know of it and come at you? You might as well think about 

it.” 

Her gaze was grim and icy. Sylvie seemed to be stunned as though she was put under some spell. The details of that day flashed through her mind. subconsciously. She recalled that it was Naomi who suggested taking her to the clinic. 

Before she could figure everything out, Naomi’s voice suddenly rang out. “Are you okay, Sylvie? Your body’s still weak after having a miscarriage.
