Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 138

Hearing this, Alaric let out a soft sigh.

He had been greatly disappointed by Lorelai, and that disappointment. had left him somewhat repelled by Emmanuel. If not for recognizing Emmanuel’s exceptional skills, he wouldn’t have entrusted him with those overseas responsibilities back then.

However, as he grew older, he started to place more importance on family connections. “Dealing with those matters is inherently risky. Manny is, after all, my grandson, and he has worked hard over the years. I want him to slowly step back from those responsibilities,” Alaric explained.

In his younger days, Alaric chased power and wealth without any moral concerns. Now that he had achieved it all, he longed for the warmth of family. That was why, despite Malcolm’s reluctance and dislike, he insisted on him marrying Tabitha.

“I get it,” Wilmer said with a sigh. “Don’t worry, Mr. Sinclair. The things you’re afraid of won’t happen.”

Alaric nodded, looking quite tired.

“As I look back, I wonder if sending Tabby away was the right thing to do. My wife, even though she didn’t say it outright, must have been upset with me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have moved out and refused to forgive me until she passed away…” Alaric mumbled.

Wilmer remembered the past and sadly advised, “Mr. Sinclair, don’t dwell on it too much. Your health should be the priority.”

“Wilmer, you’re the only one I can share my thoughts with these days,” Alaric sighed. “Whenever you have a moment, come sit with me here.”

“OK,” Wilmer said.

Tabitha had no clue about what Alaric had done behind her back. She continued visiting him in the hospital every day.

Since Malcolm returned to the Sinclair manor, he used to take Tabitha to the hospital every day and drive her back to the clinic.

However, just two days ago, an unexpected mishap unfolded along the Ackleton highway. As they were excavating a tunnel, it caved in and ensnared a group of workers. Several of them remained confined within it.

With the remaining workers adding to the chaos, Malcolm found himself with no choice but to rush to the scene and take charge of the situation.

After Malcolm left, the driver took Tabitha to visit Alaric at the hospital.

When she got out of the car, she kindly told the driver, “I’m not sure how long I’ll be at the hospital. You don’t have to wait. I’ll catch another ride to the clinic later.

The driver nodded.

Soon, Tabitha arrived at the ward.
