Tabitha was stunned.

There was no way she could tell Alaric that they slept together by accident because Malcolm happened to be

drunk.

After a few seconds of silence, Tabitha said calmly, “Grandpa Alaric, the child is gone. When | see Malcolm now, |

can’t help thinking about that scene. | really can’t face him anymore.”

“That child is gone, but you can have another child,” Alaric said trying every means. All he wanted was to

reconcile them. “Malcolm cares a lot about you now. If you try after your health improves, I'm sure you'll quickly

becpregnant again.”

Tabitha was not at all affected when she heard Alaric’s words.

She advised him gently, “Grandpa Alaric, you just fainted. You should get srest. Don't talk too much for

now.”

Upon noticing that Tabitha wanted to change the topic, Alaric beca little anxious. “Tabby, if you insist on

getting a divorce, you're deliberately provoking me. You don’t wantto...”

As he spoke, he clutched his chest and gasped for breath. It appeared as though he was going to pass out once

more.

Tabitha hurriedly supported him and said, “Grandpa Alaric, don’t be angry. | promise you | won't leave Xosa.”

‘I won't leave until Naomi is in jail, at least,” she thought.

Even after hearing Tabitha promise not to leave, Alaric refused to stop.

“Are you still going to divorce Malcolm then? | worked so hard to bring you together. Malcolm is clearly willing to

turn back now, but you want a

divorce... You two always worry me,” said Alaric.

He began to clutch his chest again, looking like he was about to faint.

Tabitha’s heart softened, and she said softly, “Grandpa Alaric, don’t be angry. Breathe slowly... Don’t worry. |

promise you | won't divorce. Malcolm.”

Upon hearing that Tabitha had finally relented, Alaric felt at ease.

Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, he blurted out, “You also can't live with Manny anymore.

Jayden hasn’t been caught yet. No one knows when he’s going to show up again and commit another crime.”

Obediently, Tabitha replied, “Okay. I'll move back to the Sinclair manor with you.”

After living with Lorelai for a few days, she learned that Emmanuel didn’t hide any secrets at home.

She would have to look into him from another angle.

Tabitha coaxed Alaric to take his medicine before leaving the ward.

Malcolm immediately looked over.

The soundproofing of the ward's door was not very effective. Everyone outside had heard her conversation with

Alaric just now.

When Malcolm heard that Tabitha had agreed not to get a divorce, his depressed mood, which had built up over

several days, immediately lifted. His gaze toward Tabitha was filled with gratitude.

He had made a great many mistakes. If Tabitha gave him the chance, he would spend his whole life trying to

make it up to her.

Tabitha glanced at Malcolm indifferently before quickly looking away.

Before she had asked for the divorce, she could sweep things under the rug as if nothing had happened, but

since she had asked for it, she could not make peace with Malcolm.

Although she would not mention divorce again for the tbeing because. of Alaric, there was really nothing to

say between her and Malcolm.

She walked up to Emmanuel and asked softly, “I’m sorry. Could you takeback to get sthings?”

Emmanuel nodded and walked out with Tabitha.

Malcolm, who had been ignored, felt an ache in his chest, but he knew he had no right to criticize Tabitha.

He was the one who had pushed Tabitha further and further away. Getting her forgiveness would be extremely

difficult.

Nonetheless, he was determined to try, no matter how difficult it would be.

Tabitha and Emmanuel stepped outside and watched the pouring rain, which seemed to be falling on the entire

city.

Feeling somewhat upset, Emmanuel could not help but ask, “Tabitha, how do you feel about this?”

Tabitha looked at him. Her pupils were light in color, and there was a hint. of coldness in her eyes, but they soon

beccalm again.

“Grandpa Alaric is in poor health. | don’t want to enrage him again,” she said.

“But what about you?” Emmanuel asked in a lowered voice. “Are you really going to spend the rest of your life

with Malcolm like this?”

“Emmanuel, why are you so stressed about my personal affairs?” Tabitha questioned.

Tabitha’s eyes were too clean. They were aloof and tinged with stark indifference.

Emmanuel was almost afraid of meeting such a gaze, for fear that his filthy heart would be unveiled and stain

her eyes.

Words danced around his lips, but he could not say them. Finally, he said helplessly, “We're friends. Can't | be

concerned about you?”

“Thank you for your concern.” Tabitha smiled. “I'm sorry for bothering you recently.”

“Are you moving back in with Malcolm?” Emmanuel asked subconsciously. “You've made up your mind? You

won't reconsider?”

“Yes,” Tabitha answered seriously. “I don’t have a single relative left.

Grandpa Alaric is the last person who treatswholeheartedly. | can’t just leave him alone.” B

She could not find anything at Emmanuel’s house anyway, and that safety deposit box could not be opened.

Tabitha did not want to waste any more tand was ready to change course.

Emmanuel pressed his lips together tightly and stopped talking.
