Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 121

The doctor thought Malcolm had to deal with numerous issues daily and would be very eager to leave

the hospital, so he reminded him that he could get discharged.

The doctor did not understand Malcolm’s eagerness to stay hospitalized, but he could only agree and

said, “Mr. Sinclair, if you can stay in the hospital for a longer period, it indeed will be more beneficial to

your

recovery.”

The iciness on Malcolm’s face dispersed a little when he got the answer he wanted.

The doctor took the record book and left.

Alaric had stood by and listened to the whole conversation. He asked Malcolm curiously, “Malcolm,

you’re able to play badminton today. I thought you could be discharged…”

“Tabitha hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Malcolm replied. “I want to stay with her.”

Only then did Alaric realize that Malcolm had other motives for insisting on staying in the hospital.

The expression on the old man’s face turned extremely gentle in an instant. He asked, “So, you

sending someone to cut Emmanuel’s coat today. has something to do with Tabby, too?”

It was unsure what Malcolm had recalled, but a fierce gleam formed in hist eyes, and an unjustifiable

restlessness surged in his heart.

However, his tone sounded flat when he spoke. “Emmanuel has impure intentions toward Tabitha.”

Alaric suddenly laughed.

He thought in amusement, ‘I see. This brat is jealous. I guess Emmanuel’s coat was gifted by Tabby,

huh?”

With that thought in mind, Alaric suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, and his old–and–turbid–looking gaze

turned somewhat sharp.

He advised, “Malcolm, I’ll deal with Emmanuel’s matter. What you only need to do is to concentrate on

being good to Tabby. Don’t do such a childish thing anymore. If Tabby finds out about it, she might

make fun of you.”

Malcolm had been getting along quite well with Alaric recently, so he listened to his advice and replied

with a nod, “Okay.”

Alaric then turned around and went to Tabitha’s ward.

Tabitha had just fed the fish and was lying on the counter, watching them swimming around.

There was a touch of serene calmness on her face. Her drooped eyelashes. cast a shadow on her

face, making her small face look pale.

Alaric frowned slightly.

He thought confusedly, ‘Why is her face still so pale after getting treatment for nearly a month?‘

Tabitha was distracted, so she did not notice Alaric coming in.

Alaric asked, “Tabby, the koi fish are cute. Who gave them to you?”

Tabitha returned to her senses and smiled faintly as she replied, “Grandpa Alaric, why are you here?

The fish are a late birthday gift from Emmanuel.”

“You seem to have a good relationship with Manny, Tabby,” Alaric said while quietly observing Tabitha’s

expression. “But Manny is very calculating. You’d better not get too close to him too much.”

Knowing that Alaric had misunderstood, Tabitha quickly explained. “Emmanuel and I are just ordinary

friends. Please don’t make wild

guesses.”

“If Manny is just a friend, what about Malcolm?” Alaric asked. “I’ve been observing for a long time, and I

found that Malcolm has really changed a lot. He has stopped hanging out with Naomi recently. You

guys-

Tabitha immediately interrupted, “We get along quite well. So don’t worry too much, Grandpa Alaric.”

Tabitha knew that Alaric had always wanted her and Malcolm to have a good relationship, so she did

not tell him the truth in order not to anger or make him feel unwell.

Alaric received the answer he wanted and was immediately satisfied.

However, Malcolm, standing outside and listening to Tabitha’s words, grew more frightened.

In the past, he chose to get along with Tabitha on the surface so that he would not anger Alaric.

He wondered why Tabitha’s attitude made him feel so similar to himself in the past.

Alaric was still unsure how close Tabitha and Emmanuel’s relationship was at the moment, but he could

not ask too much about it to avoid messing things up. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He spoke to Tabitha again tentatively. Seeing that the young lady did not seem to care much about

Emmanuel, Alaric slowly felt relieved and told Tabitha to get a good rest before getting up and leaving

the ward.

Malcolm stood outside, his head drooping in silence.

He had recently lost some weight, looking thin on his face. He frowned

deeply and looked upset.

Upon seeing his grandson, Alaric frowned and asked in a low voice, “Why that look on your face?

Didn’t you hear what Tabby said just now?”

“I did,” Malcolm replied, suppressing his emotions in his tone.

He had heard Tabitha clearly.

Tabitha was obviously getting along peacefully with Malcolm just to make Alaric feel at ease.

Malcolm always had a sense of anxiety in his mind, feeling like an impending crisis would happen.

If possible, Malcolm would rather Tabitha turn hostile and quarrel with him than give him the cold

shoulder as if she would leave at any moment.

The feeling of powerlessness after knowing the outcome was unbearably suffocating to him.

Alaric patted Malcolm on the shoulder and said, “Since you’ve heard her, treat Tabby well from now on,

or I won’t spare you.”

Malcolm clenched his fists and remained silent. He only drooped his eyes and hummed in agreement.

He was well aware that once certain questions were asked, there might be no turning back.

Emmanuel was annoyed that Malcolm had cut his coat to pieces, but on second thoughts, he felt

satisfied that he might have possibly provoked Malcolm.
