Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 83

After parting ways unhappily with Malcolm at the hospital entrance, Tabitha spent nearly half a day wandering around the flower market before returning home. Not finding Malcolm at home gave her a sense of relief instead.

Even until the next morning, Malcolm was still nowhere to be seen, so she thought, ‘Maybe he went to that woman’s place again.’

Tabitha headed to the hospital after having breakfast.

Emmanuel had not completely been cleared of suspicion, and she wouldn’t let go of any suspicious person until she thoroughly investigated them.

When Tabitha opened Emmanuel’s ward door, she discovered a middle- aged man inside who wore a dark gray padded jacket and exuded intense sloppiness.

The atmosphere in the room felt off, with both Emmanuel and the

middle–aged man wearing gloomy expressions as tension hung in the air.

Jayden had rough skin, and his face was covered in numerous wrinkles that resembled earthworms when he grinned. Moreover, he emitted an unpleasant odor.
