Chapter 78 Understood, Little Housekeeper

Galatea was at a loss seeing him like this. Why did he come here after drinking too much, and what was she supposed to do about it?

"I'll make you some hangover soup," she said as she started to leave, but Alaric grabbed her hand and commanded, "Don't go!"

Her body jolted as if electrified; she attempted to pull her hand away, but it was futile. Meanwhile, Alaric had closed his eyes.

Galatea had no choice but to sit down beside the bed. It had usually been her in the bed, whether ordinarily or in the hospital-this was the first time she'd watched over Alaric while he was the one lying down. It was clear to her that he was truly drunk, asleep but not resting peacefully, his brow slightly furrowed.

After spending so much time together, she no longer found him as disagreeable as she first thought. He was responsible, had a sense of justice, and was quite a good father.

To avoid disturbing Alaric's sleep before he fell into deep slumber, Galatea remained motionless, keeping her hand in his without daring to move.

A few minutes later, Mia entered.

Seeing her come in, Galatea quickly gestured for silence.

By now, Alaric was fully asleep, so Galatea gently extracted her hand. She then quietly left the room with Mia, closing the door behind them. "Why is he here?" Mia had only dozed off for a bit. How did she wake up from her nap to find Alaric sleeping in her bed?

"He got drunk," Galatea said, heading to the kitchen. "He walked in, didn't say a word, and just crashed on the bed."
