Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 19 From Now On, You're My Fiancée!

In the hotel room, Alaric had since recovered, his face no longer ashen as it had been.

"Are you all right?" Galatea asked.

Lifting his gaze to meet Galatea's, Alaric warned her with a threatening tone, "Don't breathe a word of what just happened to anyone, or I'll make you pay!"

The three years he spent in a coma were no secret, but the world was unaware of his chronic condition. Given his current status, he had numerous rivals; revealing his weakness was not an option.

Only his family and personal doctors knew about the episodes-doctors who would respond in timely rescues. This was the first time it had happened in public.

"You think too poorly of me," Galatea reassured him. "I am a doctor, and I respect doctor-patient confidentiality. I promise to keep this secret, but I have one request; let me continue my job at Serenity Heights Medical Center." "You can return to work on one condition," Alaric said gravely, "From this moment onward, you will be known as my fiancée!"

"Alaric, you're a married man with kids, and you dare make such a proposal to me? You're utterly shameless!" she exclaimed.

"She's not my wife, and I'm not going to explain it to you in detail. If you want your job back at Serenity Heights, you'll follow my terms," he demanded.

After years of pretending to be Orion's husband for Caspian's sake, he was fed up. Now that it was evident there was no love between Caspian and Galatea, and it was clear Caspian didn't care for her, it was time to end this charade. If it were just about ending things with Orion, Alaric wouldn't hesitate or care about the fallout, but the Nash family was involved.

The Knights had been longstanding friends with the Nash dynasty. Alaric's father passed away early, and Griffon Nash almost became a second father to him. To cut ties with Orion completely, Alaric knew he needed a legitimate reason.

And Galatea was "that" reason. Plus, Caspian was smitten with her, making her the perfect candidate.
