Chapter 151
Chasing His Runaway Wife
Naomi left immediately after getting the things. She was afraid that Malcolm would send someone to follow her, so she did not dare to stay too long.
However, neither she nor Giuseppe noticed that a slender figure with short hair had been sitting in the corner of the cubicle, listening to every word they said.
She held the cold coffee cup and rubbed it with her fingertips. No one knew what she was thinking about.
A beautiful bracelet slipped from her wrist, reflecting a cold light.
Naomi returned home and soon contacted a hooligan. After telling him something, she began to think about how to trick Tabitha into coming out.
Tabitha was too vigilant. If Naomi used an ordinary excuse, it would be difficult to fool Tabitha.
Naomi thought for a while and pulled up the video of Giuseppe killing that girl. She took several screenshots and sent them to Tabithaâs phone with her new number.
Tabitha was in the hospital at this time. Seeing these screenshots, her eyes instantly turned icy.
This unknown number was probably an enemy of Naomi or Naomi herself.
But no matter whose number it was, these screenshots made a few points. The other party had the proof of Giuseppeâs crime and was likely to give her the complete evidence, but Tabitha might have to pay a price for it.
BB BBM M 51% 16:20 Tabitha excused herself from Alaric and immediately went outside to call this unknown number.
She called a few times, but no one answered.
While looking at the unfamiliar number, Tabithaâs eyes flickered, and she immediately sent the screenshot and phone number to Colette and Trevor.
Colette seemed to have been waiting for Tabithaâs call because she called back within ten seconds.
âTabby, who sent you these pictures?â Colette asked.
âItâs an unknown number.â Tabitha said, âI called them back, but no one answered.â
âIâve seen the pictures. They are just a few vague images and cannot be used as evidence at all.â
Colette said, âPay attention to that number. Whatever happens next, let me know immediately.â
Tabitha nodded. âOkay.â
After ending the call, Tabitha tried to call the number again, but it still went unanswered.
Naomi triumphantly watched her phone ringing.
It had been four times, so she guessed that Tabitha was probably getting impatient.
Naomi waited a while before sending Tabitha a message: [I have the complete video. If you want it, bring 200 thousand dollars in cash and come alone to get it tonight at Serendipity of Abundance Resto.]
Tabitha was a little absentâminded and kept her attention on her phone. She would glance at the device from time to time.
JB B BBM M M Alaric felt a little strange and asked, âTabby, is there anything wrong?â
âNothing.â Tabitha made an excuse and said, âA patient with strange symptoms came to the clinic yesterday. If he comes again today, Iâll go back and have a look.â
51% 16:20 Upon hearing that it was someone with strange symptoms, Alaric became somewhat unhappy. He persuaded her, âTabby, the work at the clinic is tiring. Why donât you stop? You can spend however much you want by informing me in advance.â
Tabitha smiled and said, âGrandpa Alaric, I donât want to be a lazy bum.â
Alaric had no choice but to touch her hair gently. âYou are so stubborn.â
At this moment, a text message came in.
Tabithaâs expression remained unchanged. After reading the message, she immediately said to Alaric, âThe patient has arrived. I have to go back to the clinic first.â
âOkay.â Alaric said, âWhy didnât Malcolm send you here today?â
Tabitha replied, âGrandpa Alaric, he must be busy at the company. Iâm fine alone.â
Hearing that Tabitha was still willing to make excuses for Malcolm, Alaric felt a little relieved. He said, âYou may go back first.â
After saying goodbye to Alaric, Tabitha immediately forwarded the message to Colette.
At this time, Colette had just gotten out of the car. She was standing on the side of the road, reading the messages on her phone and then looking at the crowd around her. Her mind was in a mess.
The conversations she had heard in the morning at Honey Café went back and forth in her mind. She could hear a buzzing sound in her chest.
JBBBBM M M Colette was a lawyer who had always fought for justice and hated treacherous people.
Before she could figure out how to reply to Tabitha, she saw Chadwick walking toward her.
51% 16:20 âColette, why are you standing here in a daze?â Chadwick asked, âThe sun is quite harsh. Come in quickly.â
Colette subconsciously put away her phone and followed him into the orphanage with a smile on her face.
She looked at Chadwickâs side profile.
He seemed to be in a bad mood these days. Even with a gentle smile on his face, the fatigue under his eyes was clearly visible.
He seemed to be more concerned about Lunaâs disease recently. Every day, when he had time, he would go to the hospital and various institutions that provided bone marrow sources.
He was getting tired day by day, and his dark eye circles became darker at a visible speed. His whole person now looked thinner.
Colette said, âChadwick, Tabitha just sent me a message.â
Chadwick, who seemed to be distracted just now, immediately came back to his senses and asked, âWhat did she tell you?â
Somehow, Colette suddenly became angry. No matter how hard it was to hide the restraining emotions at the bottom of her heart, they threatened to escape her throat immediately.
Chadwick did not seem to understand or hear what she said, but when he heard Tabithaâs name, he became so nervous.
Colette seethed internally, âEven if Tabitha saved his life and cured his eyes, she is a married woman.
Why does he care about her so much?â
JBBBBMM Unable to get a response, Chadwick called out softly, âColette?â
His gentle voice suddenly pulled Colette back from the edge of anger. She hurriedly showed the screenshot sent by Tabitha to Chadwick. âShe sent me this and asked if I could use it as evidence.â
Chadwick looked at the picture on the phone and frowned deeper. âHas Tabby been investigating these things recently?â
âYesâ Colette looked at Chadwickâs expression and said, âShe seems to be more eager than before.
When she was pregnant in the past, she knew that she needed a rest. But now⦠Sheâs getting more relentless.â
Chadwickâs anxiety grew.
Colette said tentatively, âChadwick, what happened eight years ago has been too long, and there is no evidence. Maybe Tabitha was really mistaken. It is possible that she canât bear the sadness of her parentsâ death, so she takes it out on others.â
âShe wonât be wrong!â Chadwick said firmly, âTabby is a reasonable girl and wonât vent her anger at will.â
âBut itâs not a good idea for her to investigate like this.â Colette was worried and continued, âIâm afraid she wonât be able to bear it one day.â
âIâll persuade her.â Chadwick said, âShe really shouldnât be too distressed.â
Chadwick did as he said and immediately called Tabitha, âTabby, are you free today? Luna wants to see you.â
Tabitha hesitated for a moment and quickly agreed, âOkay.â
Instead of going to the clinic again, she asked the driver to turn around and go straight to the orphanage.
When Chadwick saw Tabitha, the tenderness in his eyes could hardly be concealed, and his tone was unspeakably gentle. âTabby, youâre here.â
JBBBBMM MO Tabitha smiled and asked, âWhere is Luna?â
50% 16:20 Tabitha had not seen Luna for a while, so she missed that girl very much.
âLuna is asleep. Donât look for her now. I have something to tell you.â Chadwick pulled Tabitha to the small park next to the orphanage.
Seeing the intimate and natural interaction between Chadwick and Tabitha, Colette followed them with her teeth gritted.
