Emmanuel was listening to Judith about Tabitha, who once examined the pulse of an old woman with frequent abdominal pain and diagnosed her illness that was hidden for years.
“After Tabitha had completed her diagnosis, she immediately persuaded. the old woman’s grandson to take her to the hospital for a thorough examination,” she said.
Then, she added. “It turns out that there was a calcified baby corpse in the old woman’s body, which had been hidden inside her for more than 30 years. It was the reason why she often suffered from abdominal pain. Later, the old woman’s grandson met Tabitha and sent her a gift.”
Emmanuel’s eyes were fixed on Judith as he listened to her. Seeing that he was fascinated, she became more talkative.
She said. “Later, the grandson told us that after the old woman gave birth to several children continuously, her health gradually deteriorated. She didn’t know she was pregnant again, and the child died three months later. in her womb.”
After that, she continued, “Since then, the old woman often had
abdominal pains. However, due to having a poor family, she was reluctant to go to the hospital for examinations. It was not until her grandson grew up and earned money that he dragged her here for treatment. That was when it was found out.”
“Do you think Tabitha is impressive, Mr. Sinclair?” she asked.
Emmanuel smiled gently and said proudly, “Very impressive.”
Just then, Tabitha came in. Emmanuel’s eyes lit up and he stood up immediately. Nevertheless, when he saw the tall figure behind her, he could not help but purse his lips.

Malcolm could hardly suppress his anger when he saw the change in Emmanuel’s expression.
According to Naomi, Emmanuel did so much just to get Tabitha and me divorced. That day. Tabitha had already asked for a divorce from me in front of Emmanuel, but Emmanuel still tried to approach her.
Obviously… Malcolm thought.
Malcolm did not like the assumption very much. He stopped thinking about it. Then, with a cold expression, he walked to Tabitha, and whispered, “You dropped this.”
He opened his hand and a leaf–shaped earring lay in his palm.
Tabitha reached out and touched her ears. As expected, one of her earrings was missing. ‘When did it fall off? I can’t believe I didn’t notice,” she thought.
“It’s mine,” she said.
When she was about to reach out her hand to pick it up, Malcolm immediately said, “Let me help you to put it on.”
After saying that, he helped Tabitha sit down in a nearby chair, leaned over, and put the earring through her ear.
Malcolm was handsome and tall. When he bent over to help Tabitha put on her earring, he had a focused expression on his face. Moreover, there was a deep emotion in his eyes.
Judith, who was at the side, was watching them shyly. She blushed and lowered her head.
Soon, Tabitha finally had the earring on. She thanked Malcolm and gave him a faint smile.
Malcolm smiled as well. He raised his handsome evebrows and said.

“You’re welcome. I’m your husband. It is my duty.”
Hearing Malcolm try to claim her as his, Tabitha frowned slightly but said nothing. She merely smiled and kept a distance from him.
It seemed like she had only noticed Emmanuel. Thus, she smiled toward him and asked, “Why are you here? What can I do for you?”
“I felt slightly dizzy when I got up in the morning and wanted to ask you to check it.” The upset look in Emmanuel’s eyes instantly disappeared, and his expression became gentle again. He added, “The injury on my face as well. After you applied medicine for me last night, it seems to be much better. I want you to help me check it again.”
Only then did Malcolm notice that Emmanuel had distinct bruises around the corners of his mouth and eyes.
‘What happened last night? Why was Emmanuel injured? Did Tabitha help to apply the medicine for him?‘ Malcolm wondered.
“Okay.” Tabitha sat down at the consultation table and gestured to him. “Please come over here,” she added.
Emmanuel immediately walked over and sat down. Tabitha carefully examined his pulse, pressing her cold fingertips on his wrist, which made him feel a numbing sensation.
“Your pulse is steady. There should be nothing serious. If you still feel concerned, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination,” she explained.
Emmanuel came back to his senses and smiled. “I’m relieved after you said it’s nothing. I just heard from Judith that your medical skills are good. There will be no problem.”
Tabitha hid the coldness in her heart by lowering her head and searching for medicine.

‘Since Emmanuel likes me, I will take advantage of his feelings to avenge the death of my innocent baby!‘ she exclaimed inwardly.
Then, Tabitha carefully applied medicine to Emmanuel’s face and examined other wounds on his arms. After confirming that it was nothing. serious, she said with a smile, “They aren’t serious. Try not to get cold water on them these few days, and you will recover soon.”
“Thank you,” said Emmanuel.
Malcolm, who stood at the side, looked at their tacit understanding. He truly wanted to expose Emmanuel’s fake attitude immediately.
Nevertheless, Tabitha was working now, so he had no position to accuse anyone. Thus, he could only wait patiently for her to finish applying the medicine to Emmanuel’s face before asking, “Tabitha, what happened last night?”
“Last night, Jayden came to harass Emmanuel,” she responded.
Tabitha briefly explained what had happened the previous night and finally said, “Grandpa Alaric isn’t in good health. Don’t tell him about this for the time being.”
Malcolm nodded in agreement.
Judith and several colleagues looked at Tabitha from a distance. They only saw Tabitha and the others talking, but they were unable to fear what Tabitha and the others were saying. Thus, Judith asked curiously, “What is Tabitha talking about with Mr. Sinclair? It seems that the atmosphere is not right.”
An elderly pharmacist next to her patted her head and whispered, “Why are you so gossipy? Go to work!”
Judith grumbled in a low voice, “I’m merely concerned about Tabitha, Mr. Hubbert.”

Emmanuel had no excuse to stay in the clinic after the medicine had been applied to his face. Thus, he said goodbye to Tabitha and left.
Malcolm followed him from behind. “Emmanuel, I have something to tell
you.”
Emmanuel did not want to face Malcolm alone, so the former refused bluntly. “We have nothing to talk about.”
“It’s about Naomi.” Malcolm stared at Emmanuel coldly before adding, “Are you sure you don’t want to hear it?”
Emmanuel suddenly stopped and turned back quickly. “What do you mean by that? I don’t know Naomi well. Why would I listen about her matter?”
“So, it seems like you want to talk about it here, Emmanuel,” Malcolm responded.
Then, Malcolm added coldly, “On October 12th last year, I had a business. meeting in Quilton. You instructed someone to tamper with my drink and bribed the manager of Centennial Hotel…”
Emmanuel’s expression suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you want to talk about?”
“That’s the way it should be,” Malcolm replied.
Then, Malcolm suppressed the burning anger in his heart and straightened his collar. He strode to the car, opened the door, and sat in.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel, looking grim, bent down to get in as well.
