Emmanuel found Malcolm’s gaze unsettling, exuding an air of superiority regardless of the time or
place.
Moreover, there was ample space around them, making it perplexing why Malcolm insisted on walking
so close to Emmanuel.
In either case, Malcolm cast an intense gaze at Emmanuel as though harboring a desire to tear him
apart.
Emmanuel then shifted his attention to Tabitha. Observing her composed expression, he reluctantly
stood up, offering a smile to clear a path for Malcolm.
Malcolm checked the water’s temperature and handed it to Tabitha along with the medicine.
Without hesitation, Tabitha accepted the pill, recognizing the need to care for her well–being.
Emmanuel stood nearby, observing the peaceful interaction between. Tabitha and Malcolm. Suddenly,
a wave of sadness overcame him, and he found himself unable to maintain his smile.
He couldn’t even force a smile.
It wasn’t right. He shouldn’t let external influences affect him.
After ensuring Tabitha took her medicine, Malcolm turned a cold gaze toward Emmanuel, stating,
“Tabby needs to rest after taking the medicine.”
His expression bore a chill and disdain, almost as if silently conveying, “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Unable to confront Malcolm directly, Emmanuel managed a smile at Tabitha and said, “Then, I’ll leave
now and visit you another day.”
Tabitha replied with a natural smile, “See you next time.”

Once upon a time, that particular smile was reserved only for him. Now, she could share that smile with
anyone and was reluctant to bestow it , upon him again.
Malcolm remained motionless even after Emmanuel departed, and Tabitha reminded him, “I need rest.”
Regrettably, Malcolm who elicited disgust remained oblivious. He responded, “I don’t have anything to
do anyway. I’ll accompany you.”
“I don’t need anyone to accompany me,” she refuted.
“I’ve just had the plaster removed a few days ago, so I shouldn’t be walking too much.” Malcolm’s voice
conveyed a somber tone. “I’ll just sit here for a while and won’t disturb you.”
Tabitha’s expression remained unchanged. “Whatever,” she said.
At this point, she no longer had the desire to engage in conversation with him. She decided to let him
do as he pleased.
Following Tabitha’s miscarriage, sleep proved elusive for her. The medication prescribed by the doctor
had a sedative effect, swiftly lulling her into a deep slumber.
The ward was enveloped in silence.
Malcolm gazed at Tabitha’s peacefully slumbering face. His sorrowful eyes transformed into eyes filled
with determination.
Regardless, she remained his wife, and he believed in the possibility of starting anew.
Malcolm didn’t dare expect Tabitha to forgive him quickly, but he committed to spending the rest of his
life making amends for everything in the past.
With conviction, Malcolm convinced himself to act accordingly.

Alaric smiled and said, “Tabby, tomorrow is your birthday. How do you want to celebrate it?”
Tabitha froze for a moment. “Birthday?” she repeated.
She couldn’t even remember that it was her birthday.
“Yes, you will be 23 years old after your birthday, Tabby,” Alaric replied, affectionately stroking her hair.
His gaze was gentle as if he were looking at a young child. “Tell me, what would you like to do for your
birthday?”
“I’d prefer to have a quiet day,” Tabitha expressed, no longer concerned. about such matters. She
shook her head and continued, “I don’t want to attend noisy events. Besides, I’m not well enough, so I
can’t eat indiscriminately.”
Malcolm’s eyes slowly fell on her.
The sunshine streamed in through the window, casting a pallid hue on her face, making others feel
distressed by looking at it.
To him, all young ladies enjoyed celebrating birthdays, and Tabitha’s flat tone when speaking about it
left him feeling uneasy..
“Alright, no birthday party this year then,” Alaric said softly. “I’ll have the cook make you a bowl of
spaghetti bolognese. I’ll eat it with you, okay?”
Tabitha smiled and said, “Thank you, Grandpa Alaric.”
Malcolm’s jawline tensed as he observed Tabitha’s indifferent smile. A profound unease surged within
him, intensifying his anxiety.

Alaric smiled kindly and responded, “Since you prefer a quiet birthday, we’ll celebrate it within the
family. You can choose not to eat the cake, but you must make a wish.”
Meanwhile, Malcolm placed specially made dried roses in a vase and set it aside. He then opened the
cake box and inserted 23 candles.
Tabitha smiled at Alaric, closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles.
Alaric couldn’t help asking, “What did you wish for just now, Tabby?”
Tabitha said to Alaric, “I hope you can live a long and healthy life and be happy always.”
Alaric smiled and remarked, “Silly you. Tabby, you have to make a wish for yourself. It’s your birthday,
after all.”
“I feel happy to see you in good health,” Tabitha said. “That’s the only thing related to me.”
Alaric appeared to feel touched by something. His eyes welled up, quickly turned around.
