Chapter 33 Mom, Just Be with Him


"I'm so sorry about that," Griffon said quickly as he saw the coffee spill on Galatea.

"It's okay." Galatea looked down at her clothes, then murmured, "I'll be right back from the restroom."

After a brief cleanup in the restroom, Galatea returned to their private booth, where Griffon apologized once again. He then added, "Galatea, I truly think that you should consider this carefully. It would be better for everyone if you leave. And when you come around, feel free to call me. Financial compensation for emotional damage can be arranged."

"Compensation? Sure, he may not share Alaric's DNA, but he sure was itching for her to hit the road."

"I'm afraid I'll have to dash your hopes there." Galatea grabbed her file folder and declared, "Griffon, I've got things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Griffon remained silent.

After Galatea left, Griffon's gaze turned ice-cold in an instant, his grip on the coffee mug so tight it looked as though he might shatter it!

Back at home, Galatea retreated into her study and pored over Alaric's medical records with intense focus, her heart racing as she read them. The bullet had come so close to piercing his heart, and with dozens of injuries all over his body, it was nothing short of a miracle that he had survived.

Initially, she despised the man, but now, recognizing that all his current physical and mental scars were aftereffects of that injury, she couldn't help but find it pitiful. He was injured in the line of duty, despite everything was admirable. Lost in thought, she suddenly noticed a small figure by her side. Elisa pointed to the name scribbled on the file folder, attempting to decipher the letters.
