“There’s no way I would do that.” Despite her mixed feelings, Tabitha suppressed them and stated solemnly, “Emmanuel, we cannot choose our parents. Regardless of how bad your father is, it’s not your fault. On the contrary, despite having such a father, you grew into a remarkable man. You have proven yourself to be exceptional. That’s quite remarkable.”
Emmanuel’s Adam’s apple bobbed. It took him a while to say, “I’ll take my leave now. Take care and rest well.”
Not long after Emmanuel left, a nurse came in to administer medication to Tabitha, taking her temperature and checking her heartbeat.
After receiving the medicine, Tabitha asked, “Excuse me, where is Malcolm’s room?”
After recording the data, the nurse said, “Mr. Sinclair is in the next room. If you’re going to visit him, remember to walk slowly and keep your emotions calm.”
The nurse then added, “You need to rest well. Your child’s condition isn’t very stable. Be careful and take good care of yourself.”
“I understand. Thank you,” Tabitha replied.
After taking the medication, Tabitha lay on the hospital bed, but her mind couldn’t replace peace.
‘My child’s condition isn’t very stable?‘ she thought.
She realized her recent actions had taken a toll on her body. Even if she wanted vengeance, she could not risk her child’s safety.
The nurse had mentioned that she could visit Malcolm. ‘It should be fine. as long as I walk slowly and calmly,‘ she thought.

Thinking of that, Tabitha got up, using the wall for support, and slowly. made her way to the adjacent ward.
The door to the ward was closed. After hesitating for a while, Tabitha raised her hand and knocked.
There was no response.
Tabitha gently pushed open the door and found it quiet inside.
Since the nurse had just finished giving him the medication, Malcolm was probably asleep.
Sitting by Malcolm’s bedside, Tabitha quietly watched him.
Maybe he was truly exhausted, or perhaps it was the effect of the medicine. He slept soundly, with his eyes closed and his lips slightly dry.
Malcolm’s blue eyes were enigmatic when he was awake, giving off an aloof and difficult–to–approach aura.
Seeing a slight frown between his brows, Tabitha couldn’t help but reach out and lightly press his forehead.
Malcolm’s features soon softened, and he appeared more relaxed after at few moments.
Then, Tabitha extended her hand to touch his face.
She had loved him so much, seeing him as a safe haven for her. Because of that, she approached him against all odds, even imagihing a beautiful future for them.
Perhaps she had been wrong from the very beginning.
Aspiration was the most untrustworthy emotion in the world, and Malcolm was never what she had expected.

Later, Tabitha’s gaze shifted to Malcolm’s injuries.
His arm was fractured, encased in thick plaster, supported by a soft pillow underneath. His foot bone was also injured, wrapped in thick bandages.
He, a privileged individual, was severely injured while saving her.
Tears began to well up in Tabitha’s eyes.
The sudden ringing of a phone brought her back to her senses. Tabitha quickly withdrew her hand, turning to see the caller ID and realizing that it was Naomi.
In an instant, the faintly tender atmosphere in the room vanished without
a trace.
Malcolm was quickly awakened, surprised to see Tabitha sitting beside him.
He tried to sit up, but the movement strained his injuries, and he ended up half–lying down as he inquired, “Why are you here? How’s your stomach? Is it still hurting? Why aren’t you lying down on your bed?”
His concern seemed genuine, but the incessant ringing of the phone was annoying Tabitha, and her expression wasn’t particularly pleasant.
“You should answer the call first,” she suggested.
Taking the phone, Malcolm checked the caller ID, and his expression instantly turned grim.
He subconsciously looked at Tabitha’s expression and quickly hung up the phone.
Suppressing her emotions, Tabitha asked, “Grandpa Alaric said you got hurt saving me, so I came to check on you.”
Malcolm recognized her concern and smiled slightly. “As long as you are

safe, I’m fine.”
Seeing his smile only added to Tabitha’s agitation.
Π
Although she did not understand why Malcolm would risk everything to save her, she was acutely aware of one fact. Naomi would always hold a special place in his heart.
There would never be a chance for her and Malcolm to start over as long as Naomi was still around.
She was irritated by the fact that her heart had softened for him earlier.
“Since you’re fine, I’ll leave first,” she said.
Looking at Tabitha’s cold expression, Malcolm also felt a little unhappy and explained with some grievance, “Tabitha, I haven’t seen Naomi for a long time. I haven’t told her about my injuries either.”
Hence, he had no idea why Naomi had called.
Unmoved, Tabitha tried to maintain a calm tone. “You just took your medication. You should rest now. I’ll go rest too.”
With that, she turned around and went out without looking at Malcolm.
Before she closed the door, his phone rang again. Tabitha frowned and quickly shut the door for him.
Malcolm’s expression turned grim as he looked at the name on the phone screen, and he ended the call immediately.
In reality, Naomi had learned from Emmanuel that Malcolm had been. seriously injured and needed people to care for him. Emmanuel also told her to take advantage of the situation to make a good impression.
She was already very concerned about Malcolm’s health, so she immediately called him.

However, Malcolm didn’t answer her call, so Naomi took a taxi to the hospital and quickly found his ward.

Seeing Malcolm covered in plaster and bandages, Naomi cried and rushed to his bedside.
“Malcolm, how did you get so badly hurt? Who did this to you?” As she spoke, she wanted to hold his hand.
Frowning, Malcolm avoided her touch. “Why are you here?”
