Chapter 49 This Man Struck Fear in Galatea

By afternoon, the medicated IV drip administered by the doctor had eased Galatea's discomfort, a relief compared to how she had felt upon waking. Confined to her bed, Galatea had no choice but to rest with her eyes closed, only opening them when she heard footsteps outside her hospital room. Expecting Alaric, Galatea was dismayed to see the Nash couple enter instead. In truth, they were the last people she wanted to encounter. Despite her reluctance, she greeted them as they came to visit her.

"Just lay still, honey, don't try to move," Mrs. Ravenna hurriedly advised, placing some fruit on the bedside table. "I just heard about the accident. How on earth did it happen? Are you hurt badly?" "I'll be okay," Galatea responded slowly. "I just need some time to recover."

"That's a relief. You had us worried sick," Mrs. Ravenna said. "If you need anything during your hospital stay, just let me know."

"Thank you."

No sooner had Galatea expressed her gratitude than Mrs. Ravenna's cell phone rang, an unexpected call from Cormac. Worried that Griffon might get upset, she quickly excused herself, "Excuse me. I need to take this call outside."

With that, Mrs. Ravenna left the room in haste, leaving Galatea alone with Griffon, and the atmosphere immediately shifted.

"Where's Alaric?" Griffon glanced around the room with his brow furrowed. "He should be here with you during your hospital stay." "He had to step out for a bit."

Galatea knew of Griffon's displeasure with her from a previous incident and felt his visit was more obligatory than sincere.

"Thanks for your concern. I appreciate you taking the time to visit despite your busy schedule," she said with little energy.

"You're Alaric's fiancée. It's only right I come," Griffon remarked curtly, surveying her condition with a shake of his head. "Looks like a bad one. How did this accident happen? You need to be more careful."

His tone and look as he spoke that last sentence sent a chill down Galatea's spine.
