Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 49

Although Tabitha was not always the picture of health, she always ate well enough and she could move around without issue. Malcolm couldn’t understand why her health was deteriorating so quickly all of a sudden.

“She was hit by a wine rack last time and lost too much blood. She refused to be hospitalized for her injuries, so I wasn’t sure if she had taken good care of herself after returning home. From the looks of it now, her injuries back then were more serious than she thought, and if she keeps wearing herself out like this, then I’m afraid…” The doctor trailed off, not wanting to make Malcolm and the others worry even more. Instead, he just told them repeatedly, “As things are, Ms. Jarvis must be hospitalized so we can better monitor her condition, or the slightest mistake could make her lose the baby.”

Malcolm’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The child was not his, but Tabitha did get hurt because of him. He shuddered to think what losing the child would do to her.

For a moment, Malcolm’s emotions surged within him and clamored his mind. He was worried, and at the same time, he felt helpless and guilty.

He knew Tabitha likely wanted to keep this child to make Alaric happy, if not to secure her position as the lady of the Sinclair family.

Malcolm should have hated her, but for some reason, he just could not bring himself to do so.

He asked with difficulty, “Doctor, what are the chances of my wife keeping this pregnancy?”

The doctor looked a little torn as he said cautiously, “We’ll examine Ms. Jarvis more thoroughly in a few months‘ time and advise her accordingly if we notice anything wrong with the fetus‘ development.”
