Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 110

“What do you mean?” Naomi was taken aback, trying to hide her guilt. Suddenly, she burst into loud sobs. “Malcolm, the doctor said our baby is healthy. I’ve seen on TV that many women who had fallen down the stairs, had turned out fine I thought our child would be okay too. I really regret it…”

“You regret it, so you insist it was Tabitha who harmed you?” Malcolm interrupted.

“Malcolm, believe me. I just wanted you to distance yourself from Tabitha. I didn’t expect to lose the baby… I was so sad and desperate at that moment, so I thought of dragging Tabitha down with me,” Naomi quickly explained.

Malcolm frowned and suppressed the uncontrollable disgust within him.

He had known Naomi since his youth. In a kidnapping ordeal before, when they managed to escape but were pursued by a group of feral dogs, he narrowly escaped a life–threatening situation where his neck almost got bitten.

Despite having successfully escaped, Naomi turned back, dismissing all concerns, and confronted the wild dogs, rescuing his life but suffering a bite to her own arm in the process.

It was because of that incident that he had been grateful to her all those

years.

But what Naomi did had nullified all the life–saving gratitude she once bestowed upon him and worn away the little patience he had left.

He wanted nothing more than to call the police immediately and send her to prison.

But not at that moment.

Malcolm forced himself to suppress the anger welling up within him.

When he opened his eyes again, the disgust in his eyes had been replaced by gentleness. He asked tentatively, “Janitor, nurse, did you arrange all of them? How could a girl like you do such things?”
