Chapter 14

With that, the drunkard raised the bottle in his hand and tried to pour wine into Tabitha’s mouth.

Tabitha felt disgusted and struggled hard. The back of her pale hand. tightened, and the blue veins bulged out.

“Get lost,” she bellowed.

“So lofty, aren’t you? You look like a rich lady, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you make others kneel and beg you? Speaking of which, I’ve never exerted myself on a rich lady. It must be an interesting experience.” The drunkard’s mouth was full of filthy words. Tabitha knew that she was in trouble today, so she quietly took out her phone and was about to call the police.

Suddenly, the drunkard exerted force and dragged her toward the wine rack. Then, he reached his sweaty hand toward Tabitha’s face.

Tabitha was firmly grabbed by him. Given the significant difference in strength, she couldn’t escape. She tried to keep calm and scanned the surroundings with her eyes, searching for anything she could use to defend herself.

When she was flustered and helpless, a warm hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and rescued her from the drunkard. At the same time, her savior kicked the drunkard to the ground.

Tabitha was surrounded by the familiar cold scent, and a comforting feeling washed over her.

Tabitha looked up and saw Malcolm’s tightened chin, her eyes widening slightly. She was dumbfounded.

‘Why is he here?’ she wondered.

For a moment, Tabitha’s eyes felt sore.

But she knew Malcolm couldn’t have come to save her.

Suppressing the complicated feelings in her heart, Tabitha came to herself and pushed Malcolm away, asking, “Why are you here?”

Malcolm also came back to his senses. He quickly let go of Tabitha and kept a distance from her. His voice was very light. “I’m here to pick up Naomi.”

Malcolm was not telling the truth.

Originally, he suspected that Tabitha had an affair with Chadwick, so he came here to find evidence of her cheating.

Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene and instinctively saved her.

The drunkard was kicked to the ground by Malcolm and struggled to get up. He pointed at Malcolm and scolded, “Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business? Why don’t you go out and find out who I am? Don’t you want to hang around here anymore?”

The drunkard made a gesture to call his gang.

It had been a long time since Malcolm heard anything so ridiculous.

In the whole Xosa, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

He straightened the wrinkled collar of his suit and narrowed his eyes coldly.

“This is my wife. Who dares to touch her?” he declared.

Even though Tabitha did some deceitful things behind his back, deceiving and taking advantage of his grandfather’s feelings, she was still his wife in name. If these people dared to hurt Tabitha, it would be like humiliating

him.

The scene fell silent, and those who were glanced at by Malcolm’s cold eyes felt a chill in their feet and didn’t dare to meet his gaze.

Tabitha fell into a trance amid the vibrant and dynamic interplay of light.

The tall and sturdy figure stood strong like the tough city wall, giving her a sense of security. This figure overlapped with the boy who helped her up in the hospital many years ago.

Tabitha’s eyes became moist.

‘Unfortunately, he is no longer a safe haven for me,’ she thought.

The drunkard rushed toward Tabitha, screaming and cursing. Malcolm pulled Tabitha back a few steps.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

The drunk lost his balance and crashed into the wine rack.

The wine rack was slowly tipping over.

There was chaos and screaming. Naomi’s expression also changed, and she was shaking with fear. Panicked, she instinctively dodged backward.

The wine rack fell in the direction of Malcolm.

Malcolm’s expression changed slightly, but a delicate figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

In a split second, there was a screeching sound as the bottles broke. Malcolm felt glass fragments fly, cutting his arms and cheeks mercilessly.

However, most of the shards were blocked by the thin figure in front of him.

The floor was soaked with costly liquors. The strong aroma of the alcohol

mixed with the sweet blood scent and filled the air”

Malcolm subconsciously caught the delicate woman in his arms. Seeing her pale face, his pupils shrank.

“Tabitha?” he stuttered.

She in his arms leaned lightly against him, as weightless as a feather.

Tabitha didn’t respond to him. The sharp pain behind her back was so strong that it seemed as if all the strength of her body had been taken

away.

“I… It hurts…” she groaned.

Tabitha bit her lip tightly, making a weak groan. When she managed to spit out those words with difficulty, her world fell into oblivion.

“Tabitha!” Malcolm yelled.

Malcolm could feel the blood flowing into his palms, and his heart ached for no reason.

He hated Tabitha and even resented her.

But at this moment, seeing her eyes closed, looking so fragile as if her whole body would be broken by a single touch, Malcolm’s mind went blank, and his heart was occupied by unprecedented panic.

Before everyone could react, he had already picked up Tabitha and strode out quickly.

The one in his arms felt so light. Her pale and bloodless face clung to his chest, and her body warmth almost scorched his heart.

Naomi came back to her senses and stopped him, who had tears in hist eyes. “Malcolm.”
