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.

She thought he was to be the salvation of her life. Yet, things had come to

Malcolm left in such a hurry that he completely disregarded Naomi.

Naomi sneaked a few glances at Tabitha. Seeing that the latter had not paid much attention to her presence, she quietly moved closer to the door.

“Naomi,” Tabitha suddenly called out, her eyes cold. “It’s been eight years. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Tabitha’s voice seemed so faint that it could disappear with the breeze, yet Naomi felt a chill go down her spine when she heard it.

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

“Ms. Jarvis, I know how sad you are to lose your parents. But it was an accident, and I was also a victim. I didn’t want it to happen,” she sobbed quietly with an innocent look on her face, implying that Tabitha should not have blamed her or gotten upset.
