Chapter 5

Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her moist eyes were not sparkling as they

used to. She looked exceptionally like a weak little kitten.

Alaric’s anger rose again. “Tabby, I know all about it. How dare that scum keep a woman outside? He

angered you so much that you bled during pregnancy!”

He forcefully suppressed his anger, but toward the end of his sentence, Alaric still could not help but

raise his voice.

Tabitha’s gaze froze, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest that almost made her unable to breathe.

Her lips moved, and she subconsciously blurted out the words to defend Malcolm. “Don’t be angry,

Grandpa Alaric. Malcolm didn’t know I was pregnant. It was an accident…”

Alaric was a stern man. He would reprimand Malcolm ruthlessly without showing any favor.

Hearing that, he was both anxious and distressed. “Tabby, you’re so silly. Do you think I don’t know the

situation between you and Malcolm?”

After the marriage, the two had treated each other with indifference. However, Tabitha was afraid that

Alaric would scold Malcolm, so she had always only mentioned the good things and would speak up for

Malcolm in front of Alaric.

Alaric said, “Usually, you’d defend him, and I’d turn a blind eye. Now, he even brazenly brought the

other woman back. Why are you so foolish? How could you still speak up for him?”

George had told him everything that happened.

Looking at the concerned look in Alaric’s eyes, Tabitha felt a lump forming in her throat. She could not

stop the tears from welling up in her

She liked Malcolm and, in the past, relying on Alaric’s affection toward her, she forced Malcolm to

marry her. In fact, Tabitha felt somewhat guilty about doing that.

Tabitha had never forgotten her promise at the time of their marriage.

She was even prepared early on that if one day Malcolm did find someone he liked, she would be

willing to bow out.

However, she could not fathom why the person he liked happened to be Naomi.

Naomi was the one who ruined her family and caused the death of her parents!

Alaric had a weak heart, and Tabitha hesitated, choosing not to mention the matter related to Naomi.

“Grandpa Alaric, I…”

Alaric shook his head and interrupted her, “Tabby, you don’t have to help him explain anymore. I will

ask that asshole to come over and apologize to you now!”

In another VIP ward, Malcolm hung up the phone with a grimace.

Alaric’s voice was so loud that Naomi could hear it clearly from the side. A gloomy look filled her gaze.

She thought, ‘Malcolm is already in charge of Sinclair Group. Who does that old man think he is to be

giving instructions and interfering so much?’

Malcolm frowned and rubbed his temples, “Grandpa has a bad temper. Don’t take it to heart.”

Naomi pondered the meaning of his words, lowered her eyes, and forced a weak smile. “Malcolm, why

don’t you go check on Ms. Jarvis first? I’ll be fine.”

Despite what she said, tears were already streaming down her cheeks.

Naomi said, “Malcolm, I’m sorry for what I did to Ms. Jarvis. I’ve thought about aborting this child, but

the moment I fainted due to the

stomachache today, I was so scared. Only then did I realize I was reluctant to part ways with my

child…”

She clutched Malcolm’s arm tightly and sobbed continuously in a pitiable manner. “It doesn’t matter if

your grandpa refuses to accept me. I can give up the title, but please let me keep this child…”

Malcolm did not like to see a woman cry. He suppressed his irritation and comforted Naomi, “I’ll make it

clear to Grandpa. Since I said I would marry you, I won’t break my promise. I’ll get you a glass of

water.”

Malcolm discreetly pushed Naomi’s hand away and turned to pour the water. He failed to notice the

gleam of joy that flashed across her eyes.

Bracing himself for the worst, Malcolm soon brought Naomi to Tabitha’s ward.

When Tabitha saw them coming, she could not help but shut her eyes as she felt a sharp pain in her

chest.

Alaric glanced at Naomi with disgust. “You want to divorce Tabby for this woman who sprang up out of

nowhere?”

Malcolm stood in front of Naomi, stared into Alaric’s eyes, and said firmly, “Naomi didn’t spring up out

of nowhere. I have known her since

childhood. Grandpa, she saved me and she’s pregnant with my child now. I must take responsibility

and care for her.”

“I can’t believe she’s pregnant with your child!” As fiery-tempered as Alaric was, there was no way he

could hold back his fury. He bellowed so loudly that he nearly toppled the ceiling. “What about Tabby?

She’s also pregnant with your child. What are you going to do about it?”

Both Malcolm and Naomi were stunned after hearing that.

Malcolm’s pupils contracted, and he repeated in disbelief, “Tabitha is pregnant?”

He and Tabitha had been sleeping in separate rooms ever since they got married, and he had never

laid a finger on her!

Malcolm turned abruptly to look at Tabitha, his cold, piercing eyes almost boring into her stomach.

“You’re pregnant?”

He thought, ‘Are the two years of meek obedience a pretense and false display of affection?’

An indescribable feeling welled up within him, and Malcolm could not tell whether it was shock or

anger. There was also a tinge of jealousy he had never noticed.

He thought, ‘Whose child is it?’

Malcolm almost blurted out the question, but when he caught a glimpse of Alaric’s angry face from the

corner of his eyes, he caught himself.

He thought, ‘Grandpa has heart disease, and he regards Tabitha with great importance. No matter what

happens, I cannot allow him to notice anything unusual.’

Tabitha suppressed the self-deprecating mockery in her eyes and raised her chin slightly to look at

Malcolm. “Yes, I’m pregnant too. What are you going to do about it?”

Malcolm did not respond directly but looked indifferently at Tabitha.

The air in the ward froze, and the atmosphere instantly became utterly

tense.
