Chapter 6 No Wonder Caspian Dislikes You

As Galatea was getting ready to leave work, the cup slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor. Ever since Alaric had left, she'd been feeling inexplicably restless, as though she had a telepathic connection with her child-anxiety that something was amiss with him. Could Harry or Elisa be in trouble? She reached for her phone to call Mia, but before she could dial, a nurse knocked and entered, "Dr. Galatea, Galen has requested to see you in his office."

"All right," replied Galatea, tucking away her phone. She quickly swept up the fragments of the broken cup before making her way to Galen's office. "You wanted to see me, Galen?"

Galen's brows were furrowed with concern. "Galatea, I can't stress enough how important it was for you to take good care of Mr. Knight. How did you end up upsetting him?"

"Upsetting him? Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black! It's him who's been calling the cops and causing a disturbance. I didn't provoke him; he's been deliberately troubling me," Galatea defended herself.

"These excuses won't do," Galen cut her off. "Mr. Knight has personally called, demanding the hospital fire you. He's made the request, and I can't protect your position."

Galatea was shocked. Did Alaric want her fired? What a petty jerk!

The reason Alaric had made that call was due to his infuriating exchange with Caspian. The young boy's defiance only escalated, resulting in him throwing things and desperately crying for that woman to be his mother, his emotions spiraling into a complete breakdown. Thankfully, Cormac arrived just in time to administer a sedative to Caspian.

After hanging up with Galen, Alaric returned to the bedroom just as Cormac stepped out, placing a finger to his lips in a silent gesture. Peering through the crack of the door, Alaric saw Caspian asleep on the bed. He carefully closed the door and retreated to his study.
