Chapter 18 Father and Son Both Ailing


His face was a shade paler than usual, sweat beading on his brow and breaking free in a steady stream. His breathing was visibly labored, a clear sign of discomfort.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Galatea asked, alarmed. Instinctively, she moved closer to examine him, but at her approach, he growled fiercely, "Get out!"

Despite his condition, his command carried an intimidating force that sent a shudder through her.

"Listen, your body's clearly in distress. I'm a doctor; I can help you. Just tell me what's wrong," she insisted.

"I said get out!" His voice boomed, almost predatory.

Galatea was annoyed with the urge to lash out at his attitude.

'He asked for it, asking her to leave. Why bother with such a reckless man?' Yet, as she opened the door to leave, her steps faltered. No, her oath as a doctor wouldn't allow her to ignore a man in crisis unfolding before her eyes. She turned around and returned to find Alaric writhing in pain, curled up on the floor.

"If you don't want to die, then cooperate!" Galatea commanded, falling back on her medical authority, "Lie down flat."

Alaric, gripped by pain, complied mechanically. Once he lay still, Galatea quickly began to assess him.
