Chapter 48 I Won't Let Anyone Bully My Fiancée


Alaric had previously shrugged off the slanderous online chatter with a firm belief in the court of public opinion that often required little from his part to set the record straight. However, seeing Galatea in anguish, receiving treatment, and being targeted anew by hurtful words, he couldn't just stand by this time. Cormac, efficient as always, ensured that the trending news about Galatea was dealt with in less than half a day with a newer headline. "Dramatic Turn in Serenity Heights Medical Center Doctor Incident-Hospital Director and Several Colleagues Reveal the Previous Reality of the Situation."

Alaric had called Galen exactly for this, and Galen, along with colleagues at Serenity Heights Medical Center, spoke out in Galatea's defense. The sequence of events leading up to and including the day of surgery was revealed, complete with footage from the ward and operating room and with Andreas's detailed medical records included.

One comment read.

[The situation has finally taken a turn for the better. All these video recordings and medical records must be convincing enough, right? I always thought the deceased's son was a no-good ruffian and, sure enough, that's the case!] Another commenter said.

[Turns out the female doctor is really a good one-prioritizing saving lives above all else and even footing the bill for $500,000 out of her own pocket. After enduring such a long time of cyberbullying, she truly is worthy of sympathy.] A sentiment echoed among the newest comments.

[Hope she recovers soon.]

Alaric merely skimmed through a few comments. Whether these were genuine sentiments from the public or orchestrated by Silas Moon didn't matter anymore. At least the hostility and curses were gone.

This time, Galatea truly managed to sleep peacefully through the night, the severe pain that initially overwhelmed her upon awakening had finally subsided enough to afford her a proper rest.

When she awoke again, while not feeling entirely better, the discomfort had lessened significantly.

Just as Galatea was about to say something to Alaric, he quickly interjected, "You should save your strength and speak less for now. According to the doctor, you still can't consume food for the next forty-eight hours after waking up. If you're feeling hungry, I'm afraid you'll just have to bear with it."
