Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 429 Birds of a Feather

Ambrose was trying to get a hold of Alaric, but he figured Alaric would dodge his call if he saw his number, so he used a different one. To his surprise, Stellan picked up. "Looks like Alaric's really serious about getting better this time, even handed his phone over to Stellan," Tommy, who was chilling next to Ambrose, commented. Ambrose didn't expect Alaric to actually give his phone to Stellan. The stuff Alaric said yesterday had him on edge, and he wanted to dig deeper, but now he couldn't reach him.

"Serious about recovery?" Ambrose sneered. "So he can come after me without any worries once he's back on his feet? Last time, he was this close to kicking the bucket, just one last kick and he'd be toast!" Thinking about that time, Ambrose was fuming. It was the perfect chance to take out both Alaric and Todd, but it all went south.

Tommy, looking down, muttered, "It was my uncle who messed up your plan, Mr. Vale. He's just a soft-hearted doc, kind and all. Even though he's on the outs with Alaric, he still cares about his health."

"Your uncle's a real busybody, but what's done is done. No point crying over spilled milk." Ambrose plopped down at his desk, leaned back, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I had a hunch lately, making me all jittery. No clue what's up with that."

"You're just burnt out," Tommy said, quickly whipping up a cup of coffee and setting it by Ambrose's hand. "You're stressing too much. If you could get rid of Alaric, you could finally chill."

Ambrose clenched his teeth. "But the guy just don't die. It's driving me nuts!"

Alaric had survived gnarly injuries in the military, lived with the aftermath for years, and even last time, when he should've been a goner, he pulled through.

"He's human, not some immortal. He can die," Tommy said slowly. "He didn't die before 'cause my uncle butted in. Now that I'm on your team, I should help carry the load."

After saying this, Tommy leaned in close to Ambrose's ear and whispered something. Ambrose, hearing his words, asked skeptically, "You think that'll work?"

"I can't promise, but it might drive a wedge between them. We gotta give it a shot," Tommy said.
