Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 342 Give Us a Little Brother or Sister?

Stellan fell silent for a long while, unable to find the right words.

All the things she had previously chosen to overlook for Alaric's sake suddenly weighed heavily on her. This time, walking away felt impossible.

Think about it: if Alaric hadn't arrived that night in time, there were only two possible outcomes for her. One was that Todd would have raped and killed her right then and there. The other was even worse she would have been raped and then taken abroad by Ambrose, hidden away from everyone she cared about.

She would never see Alaric again, nor Caspian, Harry, or Elisa. Her life would be a living hell if not a definitive end.

Noticing Stellan's distress, Alaric quickly reassured her, "It's okay if you can't forgive her. Expecting you to do so is a lot to ask. I just hope you won't let hatred consume you; it's exhausting when you carry around vendettas." Hatred was exhausting.

"Yeah, you're right," Stellan finally said, forcing a smile at him. "Josep will be here tomorrow for your follow-up treatment. Just cooperate fully, and I promise in no more than six months, you'll be back to your prime, like when you were a special forces operator."

"Sounds good."

Stellan nestled into Alaric's arms, daydreaming a little. "In six months, you'll be back at Nexus Innovations running the show, and me? I'll be managing Reassuring Clinic, and I plan to open my own private hospital." "Wow, my wife's got it all figured out, huh?"

"Of course! I already have the main physician picked out, too," she continued excitedly. "It's Aurora from the Cormac family. She's determined to become a doctor-top of her class, totally brilliant. It won't be hard for her to earn a medical degree, so I'll snag her as my assistant when the time comes."

"You're thinking so far ahead-what's with the ten-year plan?"

"Ten years? Please. If that marriage certificate had been legit, we would have been married for seven years now."

Seven years. Alaric repeated the number, pulling Stellan closer. "Seven-year itch, huh?"

Stellan teased, playing along. "Show me where it
