Chapter 2 She Might Be Pregnant
It turned out that Malcolm became so gentle and proactive because of another woman.
After a long time, Tabitha came back to her senses, her hands and feet cold from the shock.
“Does Grandpa ric know?” She forced the words out of her mouth.
At the time of their marriage, ric had dered that if Malcolm dared to divorce, he would revoke
Malcolm’s right to inheritance.
Tabitha intended to show concern, but Malcolm frowned slightly. He thought Tabitha wanted to
suppress him using his grandfather’s name.
“I’ll exin it to Grandpa. You don’t have to worry about it.” Malcolm’s tone suddenly became distant
and indifferent, and Tabitha felt a little helpless.
Seeing Tabitha’s pale face, Malcolm felt a twinge of guilt in his heart, but the feeling was momentary.
He took out the divorce agreement and said with pursed lips, “Aspensation, I’ll leave this house to
you, plus 16 million dors. If you still think it’s not enough, you can suggest your terms.”
He had no feelings for Tabitha. In the past two years, he had treated her with courtesy and had never
touched her. He thought that suchpensation was enough.
Seeing that Malcolm had even prepared the divorce agreement, Tabitha knew that nothing could waver
his decision. A feeling of bitterness crept into her heart.
She took the agreement and read through it. All thepensation was stated on it.
When Malcolm saw her ept the divorce agreement, his expression softened. “You can read it
carefully and give it to me in three days.”
“Okay. I understand,” Tabitha replied.
‘Six years of love, two years of marriage, and, in the end, a warmthless paper is all it takes to end it,’
Tabitha thought.
Tabithaughed at herself self-deprecatingly. It turned out that this was her real gift for this wedding
anniversary.
“Can you tell me what kind of person she is?” she asked.
Malcolm replied indifferently, “We’ve known each other for many years. She saved my life when I was
young.”
‘No wonder. Malcolm is aloof, distant, and disinterested in women. How could the girl who got close to
him be an ordinary person like me?’ Tabitha mused.
She lowered her eyes to conceal the bitterness in them.
The delicious smell that filled the room a moment ago slowly faded away, and the te of steamed fish
in front of her had turned cold.
When Tabitha caught a whiff of the fishy odor, she suddenly felt sick. She pressed the table and began
to retch.
Instinctively, Malcolm held her.
“What’s wrong with you?” he asked.
As Tabitha noticed the concern on Malcolm’s handsome face, her eyes turned slightly red.
She remembered that back in those days, he had also held her with the same big, warm hands and
pulled her out of the abyss of despair.
Tabitha pushed him away and said in a hushed voice, “I’m fine. Maybe I caught a cold just now. I’ll be
okay after resting in my room.”
They were on the verge of bing strangers, and the tenderness before their parting only made
Tabitha’s heart ache.
Malcolm didn’t insist. “If you are still not feeling well, don’t be so hard on yourself. You should go to see
a doctor.”
Right then, his phone rang. He looked down at the caller ID and quickly answered it.
Malcolm was handsome and elegant. When he looked down at something, he appeared extremely
gentle and sentimental.
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone. “Malcolm, where are you?”
Tabitha’s breath hitched, and she turned away and tried not to look at him.
Malcolm lowered his voice, sounding tender and affectionate. “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve been feeling uneasy in my belly, Malcolm. It’s the first time I’m having a baby, and I’m a little
scared,” the woman expressed over the phone.
Malcolm frowned slightly and said with a hint of weariness, “Just stay there. I’lle over now.”
He nodded to Tabitha and quickly put on his coat and went out. Instantly, the living room went quiet
again.
The dishes on the table, barely touched, had cooled downpletely, much like Tabitha’s abandoned
heart.
The fishy smell kept wafting toward her, and her stomach churned badly. Tabitha’s expression suddenly
changed, and she hurried to the bathroom, vomiting uncontrobly.
George Grant, the butler, heard the noise and ran over, asking worriedly, “Mrs. Sinir, what’s wrong
with you?”
“I’m fine. I identally got exposed to the cold wind,” Tabitha exined.
George sighed resignedly, “I told you to let the chef cook for you, but you insisted on cooking yourself,
touching cold water on top of being exposed to the cold wind…”
After George finished nagging, he went to look for medicine, feeling sorry for Tabitha.
Tabitha looked at her pale face in the mirror and felt a little uneasy.
The Jarvis family practiced medicine, and sheter chose to major in traditional medicine. After
graduating, she inherited the small clinic left by her grandfather and became a traditional medicine
practitioner.

Tabitha had some guesses about her reactions and symptoms.
Moreover, she hadn’t had her period this month.
Tabitha’s heart thumped. She decided to go to the hospital the next day for a detailed examination.
The next day, at the hospital, Tabitha went to the obstetrics and gynecology department with a list for
examination. The corridor was crowded with many people.
There were newlyweds with sweet anticipation on their faces and young couples excitedly discussing
wedding ns.
Tabitha stood alone in a corner as if she were in another lonely world, out of ce with her
surroundings.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure who was tall and handsome. Stunned, she subconsciously wanted
to avoid him.
But Malcolm already saw her.
“Tabitha, why are you here?” he asked.
Malcolm nced at the signage of the obstetrics and gynecology department, a peculiar expression
shing in his eyes.
Tabitha had to bite the bullet and greet him. Recalling the idental intimacy that night, she opened
her mouth to say something, but at thest moment, she changed her words.
“I’m here for a physical examination, and I happened to pass by,” she said.
Malcolm stared at her with his blue eyes as if wanting to say something, but a doctor in the department
called for him and interrupted him.
“I’m busy. Take care of yourself,” Malcolm said before leaving.
Tabitha nodded and watched him turn around to leave in a hurry. She bit her lip, hiding quietly in the
corner of the corridor.
‘He’s probably here to apany that woman for a prenatal check-up,’ she pondered. At that thought,
Tabitha felt depressed.
She wanted to catch a glimpse of the woman who could make Malcolm care so much.
People came and went. Tabitha waited for a long time before she saw a petite woman walking out,
holding Malcolm’s arm.
From Tabitha’s point of view, she could only see the woman’s profile and back.
A single nce made Tabitha stiffen, and her blood froze for a moment.
‘Didn’t I see that woman just now?’ she wondered.
