Chapter 46 Don't You Lay a Finger on Her!

Two days had passed, and while Galatea did not experience another fever, she remained unconscious.

Alaric had never found time so excruciating or fear so crippling.

He was terrified that Galatea might never awaken or that she would emerge with amnesia or cognitive damage. It was an ordeal that left him utterly restless. Alaric sat beside her hospital bed, gently dabbing her cracked, bleeding lips with a moistened cotton swab, then carefully wiped her hands with warm water.

Her hand was bruised blue and green from the IV needles, so he handled it delicately to avoid causing her any pain.

The sound of a knock startled him, and what surprised him even more was the person who entered. It was Cormac. "How did you get here?"

How could Cormac know that Galatea had been in an accident and was hospitalized?

"I was bored, thought I'd grab a drink with you. You weren't at your office, and after asking Silas Moon, I found out about Galatea's accident." Cormac glanced towards the unconscious Galatea and hastily asked, "How is she doing? Is it serious?"

Alaric's silence and furrowed brow gave Cormac all the answers he needed.

"That's unfortunate," Cormac remarked, then moved closer to the bed with the intention of gently pulling back her blanket, but Alaric immediately grabbed his hand to stop him. "What are you doing?"

"I'm a doctor. I just want to see the extent of her injuries," Cormac said.

"You're a psychiatrist!"

I'm a psychiatrist, but I've also studied surgery.
