Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 441 There Must Be More to That Car Accident

After Cormac finished talking, the room went dead silent. If anyone could really get what Cormac was feeling right then, it was Alaric. He totally got where Cormac was coming from. A bit later, a phone ringing cut through the quiet. It was Rowena calling Cormac.

"Rowena."

"Cormac, what's the situation now?"

"The doctor said Griffon's only got a couple of days left."

Rowena was stunned for a moment. If anyone had hurt her the most, it was Griffon. But knowing he was dying brought up some mixed feelings she couldn't quite describe. "You probably haven't eaten yet, right? I'll come to the hospital to see you," Rowena said.

"No," Cormac quickly replied. "You're pregnant. Don't come. I've already eaten. Don't worry. Get some rest tonight."

He didn't want her to see Griffon like this, especially since she was pregnant.

"Alright then, but don't overwork yourself. Get some rest too."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Cormac turned to Alaric. "You're a patient too. You should go back, or your family will worry."

"It's fine. Galatea knows I'm here." Alaric sat down by the bed, looking at the comatose Griffon, feeling a deep sense of sadness. After a long pause, he started talking.

"Time flies, man. I remember when I was a kid, my parents always fought, so I'd hide at your place. Back then, I felt closer to Griffon and Ravenna than my own parents.

Later, I couldn't take my parents' fighting anymore, so I ran away and joined the army. I was gone for over a decade. When I got the news my dad died, I was about to go on a mission.
