Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 97

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.

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.
