Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 7

The doctors and nurses quickly arrived and helped Alaric out. Meanwhile, Malcolm hurriedly followed the team away without sparing a glance at Tabitha.

Tabitha’s lips quivered and her fingers trembled violently.

Malcolm was the one who pulled her out of her abyss of despair with his warm hands.

Naomi’s expression stiffened. She cautiously looked at the closed door and forced out a few tears.
