Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The Mistress Is The Murderer

The enemy who had been hiding for eight years and killed her parents had finally shown up!

Tabitha took several deep breaths and only managed to force herself to calm down after a long time.

Malcolm slept soundly. Holding her breath, Tabitha unlocked his phone with his fingerprints and searched for Naomi’s phone number.

Then, she quickly typed a text message: [Come to Honey Café at eight o’clock. I have something to tell you.]

Tabitha’s heart was pounding.

Her usually gentle and serene-looking eyes were now narrowed and filled with sheer coldness.

She quickly cleaned up the traces of information and then put on a coat before heading out.

“Malcolm!” A woman with sweet makeup and was dressed delicately appeared in Honey Café.

However, when the woman saw it was Tabitha, her sweet smile instantly turned into a look of astonishment. “It’s you?”

When Tabitha saw the woman, her eyes lit up with anger.

She tried her best to resist acting impulsively and said in a cold voice, “Naomi Boyle, I haven’t seen you for years. It seems that you still remember me.”

Naomi’s expression shifted slightly. She pretended to be calm and said, “Miss, I’m sorry. You have mistaken me for someone else.”

She turned and tried to leave, but Tabitha suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Tabitha sneered. The previous look of tenderness in her eyes turned frosty and was now mixed with hatred and anger. “Mistaken? You caused my parents’ death in the past! I can recognize you even if you’ve been reduced to ashes!”

Tabitha was reminded of the sight of her father lying in a pool of blood. She remembered her mother, who suffered from a heart attack because of the shock. There was also the desolate figure of her grandfather, who seemed to have aged significantly overnight.

The tragic memories that had been sealed in Tabitha’s mind for eight years came flooding back. She felt blood rushing to her head. Her heart throbbed so hard that she could hardly breathe.

“Naomi, don’t think you can escape so easily this time!” Tabitha snapped.

Naomi put up a great struggle subconsciously. “Let go of me. I don’t know you!”

Tabitha’s delicate body stumbled a few times, and her abdomen began to ache unexpectedly. Cold sweat covered her forehead, but she held onto Naomi tightly, showing no inclination to let go.

Naomi looked shocked. She didn’t expect that Tabhita had so much strength despite her fragile appearance.

“Let go of me!” Naomi shouted.

Amidst their scuffle, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind. “What are you doing?”

Malcolm looked at the scene. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with a slightly surprised look.

He had arranged for someone to stay by Naomi’s side, and he just received the news that Tabitha made an appointment with Naomi in his name.

He thought, ‘What’s the matter with Tabitha? She promised she would get a divorce in a peaceful manner, so how dare she cause trouble for Naomi behind my back?’

At the first sight of Malcolm, Naomi, whose face was pale, trembled all over. A scheme immediately formed in her mind.

She reached out and covered her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she gasped in pain, panted, and screamed, “Let go of me first. My stomach hurts…”

Malcolm said, “Tabitha, hurry up and let her go.”

Malcolm’s expression changed slightly. He stepped forward and pulled them apart. Seeing Naomi’s agonized expression, he turned to Tabitha with suppressed anger. “Why are you troubling her?”

Tabitha had a dull pain in her lower abdomen in the first place. At that moment, upon being pulled away vigorously, she felt the pain instantly increase by several folds. She covered her lower abdomen and arched her body slightly due to severe pain, but she still straightened her back and looked at him stubbornly. “Malcolm, the woman you’re protecting is a murderer!”

Her clear eyes were misty. The usually calm and serene look in her eyes was now replaced by intense sorrow and resentment. The sight of it caused Malcolm to feel his heart shudder. “What did you say?”

Tabitha opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn’t make a sound due to the grief, anger, and sharp pain in her abdomen. She only felt her vision go black, and she completely lost consciousness.

She lay lifeless on the ground, and a red spot began to spread on her white dress. Her delicate face was lifeless, much like a flower about to wither.

“Tabitha!” Malcolm shouted.

Malcolm’s expression changed dramatically, and he subconsciously let go of Naomi and strode toward Tabitha.

She was bleeding!

At the hospital, after an unknown amount of time passed, Tabitha opened her eyes dazedly. She felt an intense pain in her abdomen that rendered her unable to move.

A familiar, aged voice sounded beside her. “Brat! Get your ass over here in this ward within ten minutes. Otherwise, you don’t have to show up in front of me anymore in the future!”

Although his voice was deliberately lowered, Tabitha could still sense the burning anger in his words.

Tabitha could see the white-haired figure by the window. She opened her dry lips and said in a whisper, “Grandpa Alaric…”

Alaric Sinclair turned around quickly, the sullen coldness of his expression fading into undisguised concern and anxiousness. “Tabby, you’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Seeing that Tabitha wanted to get up, Alaric quickly stopped her. “Lie down. You fell and bled during pregnancy, but don’t worry, the child is fine. The doctor wants you to rest in bed.”

Tabitha saw him and said weakly, “Grandpa Alaric, why are you here…”

She was hoping to keep that matter a secret, but it seemed it was all in the know now.
