Chapter 57 What Does Your Child Have to Do with Me?

"I'll wheel you back inside," Alaric offered and rose to his feet, guiding her wheelchair back toward the hospital wing. The nurse had already prepared her medication and was waiting in the room. Alaric wheeled Galatea in and then, right in front of the doctor, carefully lifted her from the chair and gently placed her onto the bed, making sure she was comfortably settled and snug under the covers.

"Galatea," the nurse remarked with a hint of envy, "your husband is something special, truly. I've seen plenty of spouses come in to take care, but Mr. Knight's attentiveness and patience are rare. You're lucky to have him." Following the nurse's comment, the room was suddenly filled with an air of awkwardness, and Galatea could only respond with an embarrassed smile.

Considering Alaric's usual short temper, his meticulous devotion in the hospital was not a small matter. It was a significant gesture.

After the nurse left, post-injection, the atmosphere reached a peak of discomfort. Galatea just looked down, avoiding his gaze, unsure of what to say next.

It took a while, but Alaric finally broke the silence. "I was out of line earlier in the yard. I came on too strong. I apologize."

"It's okay," Galatea Hartley said, punishing her lips with a nibble, embarrased. "I should have kept my comments to myself. I tend to speak without thinking. It won't happen again, I promise."

Alaric paused before he gently clarified, "The thing with Orion, our child, it's not the traditional way you might be thinking of."

Suddenly, Alaric was at a loss for words. Galatea, sensing his hesitation, asked, "Alaric, are you trying to explain how you and Orion had a child?"

At that moment, Galatea couldn't suppress a laugh, "Why are you telling me this? What does your child's origins have to do with me?"

She found his current demeanor somewhat amusing. Mr. Knight, usually the epitome of authority and control was now hesitating and even showing a hint of embarrassment.

Galatea didn't understand why he felt the need to share this with her. After all, how the two of them decided to have a child was quite personal. Wasn't it awkward for him too?

as Galatea finished her thought, Alaric's face darkened. Annoyed, he said curtly, "I have to step out. If you need to change dressings or anything, just call
