Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 139

Tabitha came out of the examination room as soon as Chadwick finished getting his statement taken.

The police questioned her according to the procedure before leaving the hospital.

Chadwick felt somewhat uneasy when he saw Tabitha’s pale face. He furrowed his brows and asked,

“Tabby, do you still feel unwell?”

Tabitha smiled. “I just have a little scratch on my foot. No need to worry too much.”

Although she had quickly avoided the collision and did not get hit hard, her face was very pale–she

didn’t look like she suffered a minor injury at all. Chadwick had a bad feeling about it.

Colette stood silently on the side, watching Chadwick be overly concerned about Tabitha. However,

when she carefully observed Chadwick’s gaze toward Tabitha, she saw no hint of romance.

She silently convinced herself not to overthink.

Tabitha intended to leave the hospital after her physical examination, but Chadwick insisted that she

stay until the test results came out.

Chadwick looked solemn, and his usually clear voice was hoarse. “Now you’re a patient with injuries.

Listen to me.”

Although Tabitha was surprised, she understood that he was concerned about her. She felt warmth in

her heart and smiled. “Okay, I’ll listen to

you.”

In Ackleton, Malcolm had just left the scene of the accident. He was resting in the car with his eyes

closed, but his mind was still actively working.

He thought. The families of the trapped workers have been appeased, and the rescue team has

devised a plan to evacuate everyone safely by tonight.”

Just then, Saul opened the car door and anxiously said, “Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair got into an

accident!”

Malcolm abruptly opened his eyes and his voice was filled with tension. “What happened?”

Saul replied, “Mrs. Sinclair got hit by a car, but fortunately, she wasn’t seriously injured. The police

investigation revealed that the driver was drunk…

Malcolm was greatly relieved to hear that Tabitha was not severely injured.

“Send some people to investigate the driver’s background at once.” He immediately ordered, “Drive,

we’re returning to Xosa now.”

“But…” Saul hesitated. He was about to ask Malcolm how to deal with.

things at the construction site, but as soon as he saw that man’s clenched fists, he knew not to press

further and stopped talking.

At half past four in the afternoon, the test results were out.

Chadwick immediately went to the doctor’s office to make inquiries.

The doctor looked at the test report repeatedly with a solemn expression. He asked Chadwick to sit

down before hesitantly saying, “The patient’s injuries are minor, but based on these test results, I

suspect that Mrs. Sinclair may have leukemia.”

Chadwick’s mind went blank for several seconds, and his body stiffened. When he returned to his

senses, it was as if a thunderous explosion had occurred before him and caused his pupils to dilate.

Leukemia was a term he was all too familiar with.

That was the disease Luna had. He had been actively searching for a compatible bone marrow donor,

so he knew how difficult it was to find

one.

He couldn’t accept it, and his eyes lost focus. After some time, he bent down and murmured, “How

could this happen? She recently got pregnant and had gotten many prenatal check–ups. Dr. Tomlinson,

who was in charge, never mentioned anything like this…”

The doctor, Zeke Snowden, got Chadwick to calm down. He cleared his throat and explained, “Prenatal

screening cannot detect cancer. This is just my initial speculation. If you want more accurate results,

we will need to conduct a few more specific tests…”

Chadwick listened blankly and said, “Dr. Snowden, please don’t let Tabitha know about this for the time

being… I’ll arrange for her to take the tests.”

“I understand,” Zeke answered.

When Chadwick left the doctor’s office, he felt he was walking on thin ice with an unreal chilling

sensation.

Instead of immediately returning to the ward, he walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor. He

suddenly felt the urge to smoke, as if it could relieve the oppressive feeling in his chest.

It was getting dark when Chadwick returned to the ward.

Tabitha was probably so tired that she fell asleep in her hospital bed.

She had been sleeping a lot recently, and Chadwick attributed it to the effects of the miscarriage and

medication. He never thought that she might be ill.

The last bit of light came through the window and shone on her, from her glistening hair to her pale

face, lips, and fingertips.

She was astonishingly pale from head to toe and, as the light faded, her appearance became

increasingly blurry–as if she might disappear at any

moment.

Chadwick’s eyes reddened. He couldn’t bear to look at her anymore, so he tucked her in and gently

touched her soft hair.

He thought, Tabby, no matter what happens, I will protect you and keep you away from all accidents.”

Colette was very busy today, but she was concerned about the progress of Tabitha’s car accident, so

she stayed in the hospital and dealt with everything via phone.

After making a call, she stood outside the door and looked into the ward.

Since the room was unlit, she couldn’t see Chadwick’s expression clearly, but in the fading light

outside, she could observe his careful movements- he looked like he was guarding a precious treasure.

Her heart instantly sank to the bottom, and every nerve in her body. tensed.

Tabitha was only lightly hit by a car and would be fine after a few days of rest. Colette wondered why

there was an intense sadness around

Chadwick.

“How’s Tabitha?” At this moment, a desperate–sounding voice shattered the tranquil atmosphere.

Emmanuel rushed over, looking cold.

It turned out to be raining heavily outside.

Tabitha was awakened by the commotion. Chadwick covered her eyes before turning on the light.

As soon as Emmanuel saw Tabitha’s pale face, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively grabbed

her hand. “How are you? Where are you injured?

Is it serious?”

Chadwick furrowed his brows at Emmanuel’s intimate actions.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Tabitha withdrew her hand calmly. Her pale lips twitched slightly, and she smiled. “I’m fine. I just got a

minor scratch on my foot. Chadwick insisted that I stay in the hospital.”

Emmanuel was relieved to see Tabitha’s relaxed expression and breathed a sigh of relief, though his

voice was a little hoarse. “Be more careful when crossing the road in the future.”

Tabitha nodded, thanking him for his concern with a smile.

She only knew that Emmanuel was secretly helping Naomi, but she didn’t understand his motives.

Firstly, she did not feel any bitterness or enmity towards Emmanuel. It is possible that he wasn’t

targeting her when he helped Naomi, and had other purposes instead. She vaguely guessed that he

might use Naomi to get close to Malcolm and secretly compete for power.

In these large conglomerate families, brothers could do anything for money and power.

To figure out Emmanuel’s intentions, Tabitha needed to approach him. under the guise of friendship.

Emmanuel had a strong feeling that Tabitha’s car accident was related to Naomi.

He thought, I’ve already warned her not to touch Tabitha again. How dare she play tricks behind my

back?”

Since Tabitha was fine, Chadwick didn’t insist on having her hospitalized.

However, Chadwick was burdened with heavy thoughts. When he sent Tabitha back to the Sinclair

manor, his gaze remained fixed on her
