    Chapter 121


    The doctor thought Malcolm had to deal with numerous issues daily and would be very eager to leave


    the hospital, so he reminded him that he could get discharged.


    The doctor did not understand Malcolm’s eagerness to stay hospitalized, but he could only agree and


    said, “Mr. Sinir, if you can stay in the hospital for a longer period, it indeed will be more beneficial to


    your


    recovery.”


    The iciness on Malcolm’s face dispersed a little when he got the answer he wanted.


    The doctor took the record book and left.


    ric had stood by and listened to the whole conversation. He asked Malcolm curiously, “Malcolm,


    you’re able to y badminton today. I thought you could be discharged…”


    “Tabitha hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Malcolm replied. “I want to stay with her.”


    Only then did ric realize that Malcolm had other motives for insisting on staying in the hospital.


    The expression on the old man’s face turned extremely gentle in an instant. He asked, “So, you


    sending someone to cut Emmanuel’s coat today. has something to do with Tabby, too?”


    It was unsure what Malcolm had recalled, but a fierce gleam formed in hist eyes, and an unjustifiable


    restlessness surged in his heart.


    However, his tone sounded t when he spoke. “Emmanuel has impure intentions toward Tabitha.”


    ric suddenlyughed.

    He thought in amusement, ‘I see. This brat is jealous. I guess Emmanuel’s coat was gifted by Tabby,


    huh?”


    With that thought in mind, ric suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, and his old–and–turbid–looking gaze


    turned somewhat sharp.

    He advised, “Malcolm, I’ll deal with Emmanuel’s matter. What you only need to do is to concentrate on


    being good to Tabby. Don’t do such a childish thing anymore. If Tabby finds out about it, she might


    make fun of you.”


    Malcolm had been getting along quite well with ric recently, so he listened to his advice and replied


    with a nod, “Okay.”


    ric then turned around and went to Tabitha’s ward.


    Tabitha had just fed the fish and was lying on the counter, watching them swimming around.


    There was a touch of serene calmness on her face. Her drooped eyshes. cast a shadow on her


    face, making her small face look pale.


    ric frowned slightly.


    He thought confusedly, ‘Why is her face still so pale after getting treatment for nearly a month?‘


    Tabitha was distracted, so she did not notice ricing in.


    ric asked, “Tabby, the koi fish are cute. Who gave them to you?”


    Tabitha returned to her senses and smiled faintly as she replied, “Grandpa ric, why are you here?

    The fish are ate birthday gift from Emmanuel.”


    “You seem to have a good rtionship with Manny, Tabby,” ric said while quietly observing Tabitha’s


    expression. “But Manny is very calcting. You’d better not get too close to him too much.”

    Knowing that ric had misunderstood, Tabitha quickly exined. “Emmanuel and I are just ordinary


    friends. Please don’t make wild


    guesses.”

    “If Manny is just a friend, what about Malcolm?” ric asked. “I’ve been observing for a long time, and I


    found that Malcolm has really changed a lot. He has stopped hanging out with Naomi recently. You


    guys-


    Tabitha immediately interrupted, “We get along quite well. So don’t worry too much, Grandpa ric.”


    Tabitha knew that ric had always wanted her and Malcolm to have a good rtionship, so she did


    not tell him the truth in order not to anger or make him feel unwell.


    ric received the answer he wanted and was immediately satisfied.


    However, Malcolm, standing outside and listening to Tabitha’s words, grew more frightened.


    In the past, he chose to get along with Tabitha on the surface so that he would not anger ric.


    He wondered why Tabitha’s attitude made him feel so simr to himself in the past.


    ric was still unsure how close Tabitha and Emmanuel’s rtionship was at the moment, but he could


    not ask too much about it to avoid messing things up.


    He spoke to Tabitha again tentatively. Seeing that the youngdy did not seem to care much about


    Emmanuel, ric slowly felt relieved and told Tabitha to get a good rest before getting up and leaving


    the ward.


    Malcolm stood outside, his head drooping in silence.


    He had recently lost some weight, looking thin on his face. He frowned

    deeply and looked upset.

    Upon seeing his grandson, ric frowned and asked in a low voice, “Why that look on your face?


    Didn’t you hear what Tabby said just now?”


    “I did,” Malcolm replied, suppressing his emotions in his tone.


    He had heard Tabitha clearly.


    Tabitha was obviously getting along peacefully with Malcolm just to make ric feel at ease.


    Malcolm always had a sense of anxiety in his mind, feeling like an impending crisis would happen.


    If possible, Malcolm would rather Tabitha turn hostile and quarrel with him than give him the cold


    shoulder as if she would leave at any moment.


    The feeling of powerlessness after knowing the oue was unbearably suffocating to him.


    ric patted Malcolm on the shoulder and said, “Since you’ve heard her, treat Tabby well from now on,


    or I won’t spare you.”


    Malcolm clenched his fists and remained silent. He only drooped his eyes and hummed in agreement.


    He was well aware that once certain questions were asked, there might be no turning back.


    Emmanuel was annoyed that Malcolm had cut his coat to pieces, but on second thoughts, he felt


    satisfied that he might have possibly provoked Malcolm.
