“Yes,” Malcolm didn’t notice her strange behavior and said with a serious face, “Grandpa always values Tabitha the most. Even if I tell the truth, he may not believe it. So, I will let the evidence speak for itself.”

‘How can this be! The baby in Tabitha’s belly is actually Malcolm’s!’ Naomi exclaimed inwardly.

Naomi’s eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly. “It’s not a good idea. What if your grandpa knows Tabitha’s true colors and gets angry? It’s not good for his health,” she asked.

“So, for the sake of Grandpa’s health, I won’t expose Tabitha in front of him unless it is absolutely necessary. I’m going to put the evidence in front of him and let Tabitha propose a divorce herself,” Malcolm replied.

He added, “But having a DNA test in the early stages of pregnancy has at significant impact on one’s health. The doctor suggested waiting until at least four months. During this time, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to endure. this hardship for a while.”

Naomi forced a slight tug at the corners of her mouth, revealing an awkward smile. “It’s okay…”

She was panicking.

‘No, I must find a way to get rid of Tabitha’s baby!’ she thought.

Tabitha stayed in the hospital for a week before being discharged.

The sun was bright, but its rays could not reach the gloomy corners of her heart.

She didn’t inform Malcolm and was about to take a taxi back when she heard a clear voice calling out to her. “Tabby?”

A man stood not far away, holding a black umbrella. His facial features were elegant, almost as if they were painted carefully by a renowned artist.

“Chadwick?” Tabitha was a little surprised. She asked, “Why are you here? Why aren’t you wearing sunglasses?”

Two years ago, when she was feeding stray dogs on Lily Street, she. encountered this homeless man.

At that time, he was dirty all over, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, immediately capturing Tabitha’s attention.

Despite being extremely embarrassed, his movements and behavior were naturally elegant. Even when starving, Chadwick still asked her politely and cautiously if she could spare him some food.

Tabitha’s heart softened and brought Chadwick back. After getting him. cleaned up, she discovered he was a refined and handsome young man. However, he couldn’t remember who he was, and his eyes were badly hurt.

“My eyesight has improved a lot,” Chadwick said. He walked a few steps toward her and handed her a small and lush potted plant. He then smiled gently, saying, “It’s for you.”

The leaves of the plants were shiny and bright, and the colorful markings. on them looked like flashing neon lights, which was particularly magical.

“It’s so beautiful!” Tabitha took it happily and gave him a cheery smile. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I’m glad you like it,” Chadwick said.

Tabitha felt warmth bloom in her heart when she saw Chadwick’s. expression, which seemed devoid of judgment and ill-intent.

Ever since she married Malcolm, she had taken good care of his diet and daily life. She seldom went out except to visit the clinic. Her circle of friends was so pitifully small that Chadwick was her only friend.

Chadwick’s presence made her feel that she wasn’t alone. At least, she had a friend who treated her wholeheartedly.

Tabitha looked down at the small potted plant, and stray hair from her

fringe hung from her tanned forehead. Chadwick looked down at her, his fingers itching slightly as he wanted to smooth down her hair.

Malcolm had just gotten out of the car with Naomi, and he happened to see this scene.

Naomi looked at the two of them in front of her, and a hint of deviousness flashed in her eyes. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Is Ms. Jarvis. being discharged today? She’s still weak. Why is no one looking after her? And who’s that man?”

After that, she suddenly covered her mouth in horror and asked, “Is the baby in Tabitha’s belly related to this man?”

Malcolm’s expression instantly darkened. He let go of Naomi decisively and walked to Tabitha in large strides.

His gaze at Chadwick was full of scrutiny. “Tabitha, who is he?” he asked.

“His name is Chadwick Eisenhart, and he’s my friend. He came to pick me up from the hospital,” Tabitha answered.

Seeing Malcolm and Naomi show up together, the smile on Tabitha’s face disappeared instantly, and her tone turned indifferent.

The obvious difference in treatment made Malcolm feel a little irritated.

His eyes carried a hint of sarcasm, saying, “I didn’t know you were discharged today, yet he came on time.”

Tabitha was discharged from the hospital without even telling him. Instead, she asked Chadwick to pick her up.

No one would believe that there was nothing fishy going on between them.

Tabitha glanced at Naomi coldly and mocked, “You’re so busy. I don’t want to make a fool of myself.”

Malcolm gritted his teeth and asked, “Is seeing him so much more fun?”

Chadwick was stunned and explained gently, “Mr. Sinclair, Tabby and I are nothing but friends.”

“Just friends?” Malcolm’s gloomy gaze fell on the plant in Tabitha’s arms, and a sneer appeared on the corners of his lips. “Did you just give her the down payment for a house?”

Tabitha frowned. She asked, “Malcolm, why are you being sarcastic? What do you mean?”

‘What does a potted plant have to do with the down payment for a house?” she wondered.

“You should be well aware,” Malcolm said.

“What on earth do you mean by that?” Tabitha’s eyes narrowed. “Please give me an explanation,” she said.

Malcolm glanced at Chadwick and sardonically said, “The market price of a star jasmine plant that has more than five colors in the foliage starts at six figures per plant.”

Tabitha looked at the beautiful potted plant in her hand with

astonishment. She had no idea that Chadwick’s gift to her was so expensive.

However, Chadwick was injured and had lost his memory. Tabitha called the police and found out that he was an orphan, so social workers arranged for him to work in an orphanage. He didn’t have much savings, so he could not possibly give away something so expensive.

Naomi also stared at Chadwick’s face in surprise and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Eisenhart, this pot of star jasmine looks very attractive. It’s hard to find any similar plants like this on the market.”

Chadwick frowned slightly. He glanced at Naomi indifferently and ignored her.

After Tabitha had her accident, he went to seek her out and learned about what had happened recently from the housekeepers in the mansion.

He looked at Malcolm seriously and said, “Mr. Sinclair, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. This potted plant is something I cultivated on my own. It’s not a valuable thing by any means.”

Malcolm’s eyes darkened to the extreme. Whether it was expensive or not had nothing to do with him.

Tabitha realized what Malcolm meant. Her ashen face blushed with anger.

“Malcolm, do you think everyone is as dirty as you are?” she said.

“I refuse to allow anyone to slander such a nice and innocent young man! Not even Malcolm!’ thought Tabitha.
